1974 Toyota Landcruiser on 2040-cars
Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, United States

Thank you for looking at my FJ40. I have owned this truck for 17 years, and have many fond memories in it. As I have grown older my priorities have changed, and I find that I no longer use the truck as it should be used. I realize that buying anything over the internet is a risky thing to do, so I will try to be as honest as possible about the condition of the truck. It is my goal that if you buy it, you have no surprises as to what you purchased.
All of the mechanical updating was performed by professionals, and was done over ten years ago. Since then I have put maybe 5,000 miles on the truck. -Rebuilt Head(Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Webber Performance Carburetor (SOR) 2001 -Performance Camshaft (SOR) 2001 -Performance Header (SOR) 2001 -Full custom Exhaust (Mighty Muffler) 2001 -Rebuilt Transmission /4 Speed (Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Rebuilt Transfer Case (Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Brakes Redone (New Wheel Cylinders & Pads) 2014 -Truck Completely Rewired (Keystone Electric) 2001 -Recaro seats that were 2,000 when new -Stereo with older amp and 2 subwoofer speaker boxes (sub speakers are blown) -Stereo has CD/AUX input and 4 speakers -New Front Fenders and Bib (2001) -Newer Alternator and Belts (2005) -Newer Master and Slave Cylinders (2005) -New Clutch (SOR) 2012 -Mickey Thompson Classic 2 Aluminum Rims -Tan Soft Top and Doors (SOR) 2001
The Body was Redone in 1982, and an all aluminum floor was installed. It is from the front floor in the cab to the rear of the truck, it was done professionally and the welds are nice. The body panels were then bolted to the Aluminum floor because you cannot weld two different metals. The body panels will need to be replaced (rocker, quarter panel, rear sill). What is on the body panels of the tub is bondo, and it is beginning to rust and crack. The Hood of the truck also has small dents and two spots in the front that appear to be rusted, but are actually a crack in the metal. The windshield is rusted on the inner bottom and will need to be replaced. I say need to be replaced meaning that if you want a show truck they are too far gone, but they are fine for a driver. The steering wheel has play due to the steering box needing replacement. The frame as you can see from the pictures is in fairly good shape. The bottom of the main frame rail on the left side forward of the leaf spring was rusted out, and a patch of metal was installed. You can also see that the bottom of the main channels have had rust in them at some time as they are raised, and not flat as they would have been from the factory. Tires are starting to show slight Dry-Rot cracking in between tread, tread is 90%. The truck is mechanically very strong and has never given me any problems. The motor runs great and performs well. I honestly would not hesitate to drive the truck anywhere. If you have any questions please ask. Like I said, I don’t really need to sell the truck, and honestly want the buyer to be happy and know what they are getting. |

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
Toyota recalling FJ Cruiser due to excessively bright headlights
Sun, 05 May 2013Now, hold on. This recall isn't quite as serious as it sounds. Yes, Toyota is recalling 11,489 FJ Cruiser models from the 2007 to 2013 model years, and yes, it's because the vehicles, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, 'Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.'" But read the fine print and you'll see the catch: This recall is only for vehicles fitted with the automaker's auxiliary lighting kit that can be mounted to the front bumper.
Basically, the auxiliary lamp assemblies use 55-watt bulbs, and when these are turned on in conjunction with the upper beam headlamps, it's a pretty blinding sight. NHTSA states that excessively bright lights can blind other drivers, increasing the risk for a crash.
To remedy the situation, Toyota will replace the 55-watt bulbs with cooler 35-watt units. The recall is expected to begin later this month. Scroll down for the full details in the NHTSA report.
