Year:1974 Mileage:90799
Location:

Im selling my 1974 Toyota Landcruiser fj40. its a great truck. I have owned it for about 7 months and it has been my daily driver the whole time. I am moving to brooklyn and well... it cant come. 

It was restored by the previous owner about 10 years ago and after that he only drove it on nice sundays. It has the original drive train. inline 6cyl motor, 4 speed manual transmission, 4x4 transfercase. I just had the cylinder head completely rebuilt, brand new valves, seats, guides, springs. re-machined and cleaned. new head gasket and headbolts. fresh tune up. At the same time i had the carborator rebuilt. total just for parts and machining for this all was over $1200. Truck runs great. Has a slight exhaust leak. transmission shifts perfect. 4X4 works perfect. Truck does not have power steering.
Interior is in pretty good shape. Odometer doesnt work and cigerette lighter too. every other knob and gauge works. It has a brand new custom oak dask board with cupholders ( I needed those). It has jump seats in the back. To make it a better daily driver I Sound proofed the truck. in the front i installed cruiser crap sound deadener and in the back I installed FAT MAT. Before i did this I lined the whole floor with Grizzly grip roll on liner. When i re-installed the top after winter, I put new weatherstripping between the top and body. And also on top of the windshield and the windows. 
The Truck has 32x11.50 x 15 tires
It has Manual locking hubs
It has an Optima red top battery.
It has a custom speaker box with a Cd player above the sunvisers. Very well made and sounds very good. 
When the P/O restored it, He used CoolCruisers very thick replacement  panels and rear sill. The Body is very solid. There is rust spot forming. nothing to serious but could use attention. along the front fenders it is starting to bubble. The P/O had the hardtop shipped to him and the way they strapped it down rubbed the paint off in 2 spots on back. The back has a custom swing down tailgate. It is a different color then the rest of the vehicle. There is Scratches and dings so dont expect a perfect vehicle. 
Im sure there is somethings I am forgetting to write. If you have an questions JUST ask! 
If you would like to come and see the vehicle, contact me and we will arrange for it.

Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership

Mon, May 11 2015

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."
