1975 Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 Blue / White 83k Miles on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Last Summer I put a lot of money and time in this Cruiser, I had a Cruiser Specialty shop in Everett do most of the work. It runs great and is really fun to drive. I just don't use it as much as I hoped to. When I brought the car in they replaced every gasket on the engine, replaced the hoses and belts and Spark Plugs. The carb was rebuilt and tuned up. New Motor mounts as well as a new exhaust from the engine to the tailpipe. They removed the Fuel tank and cleaned it out. Replacing the fuel pump and filter with a newer more reliable electric Holley pump. The Sender also got replaced and a new reliable gauge mounted on the dash. I didnt want to leave any suspension piece not rebuilt. So I had them replace all of the bushings and tie rods. At the same time we replaced the Leaf Springs and Shocks with a lift kit. I had them install a FJ60 Power Steering box so it was easier to drive. The Front and Rear Differentials were also rebuilt. New Axle Bearings and Seals, Rebuilt breaks a 4 new tires. The truck rides really nice and smooth. It Starts easy and the blue paint looks awesome. I had the Front fenders repainted because they had a lot of rock chips over the years. At the same time I had a little rust repaired on the Hard top. Can't even tell it was there. The original Seats were very uncomfortable, they installed modern and comfortable BMW Bucket seats up front. Then recovered the rear seats to match the leather. I powder coated the frames also. Up front we put in Shoulder harnesses. As you can see I wanted to restore the running gear so it would be reliable and safe. I have 13k in receipts I can provide upon request. All of this was done in July of last year (2013). I only drove the car a few hundred miles afterwards. The car currently has 82,300 miles I own the car outright with no liens or loans. I also have the Title in Hand! -Mike |

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.
Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case
Sat, 26 Oct 2013A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."
Toyota renews Supra trademark, we renew frothing at the mouth
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Enthusiasts have been begging for a new Supra practically since Toyota stopped selling its fourth generation in the US way back in 1998. We've been hearing rumors about a successor for years, but the Toyota FT-1 Concept from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show is the first tangible sign from the automaker that a new generation may be on the table. To temp us even more, the Japanese company reportedly filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week to renew its 2010 trademark for the name "Supra."
Granted, these kinds of trademark updates aren't uncommon, as automakers don't want to lose their rights to nameplates (even if they have no immediate plans to use them). However, Toyota briefly abandoned its rights to the Supra name entirely. According to The Motor Report, the original trademark was continually renewed until 2006, but the Japanese automaker let it lapse in the US until applying for it again in 2010.
The FT-1 Concept in Detroit was created at Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California and carries cues from the 2000GT, Celica and Supra in an ultra-curvy body. Officials did not disclose anything about its powertrain. Toyota is also co-developing a future sports car platform with BMW that will underpin models from both companies, but few other details are konwn, and it isn't yet clear that the joint venture has anything to do with a future Supra. Hope springs eternal.
