This 1976 FJ40 Land Cruiser has undergone a COMPLETE frame off rotisserie, nut and bolt restoration.  EVERY single part has been media blasted and either powder coated or epoxy primed and painted with a base coat clear coat paint system. All paint product exceeded the original 1976 standard and will out live both you and I. 

I began this project fulfilling a dream of owning an FJ40 since I was a kid in High School. I always wanted a Cruiser but could never afford to make one the way it deserved to be restored. I searched high and low for the right vehicle, I flew thousands of miles and drove up and down the coast looking at old rusted out turds. Most people have a skewed idea of what a restoration is. What you'll typically find in most peoples eyes of a restored vehicle is rattle canned under carriage with maybe some new parts here and there and a nice paint job. To me that IS NOT restored but merely cleaned up and considered a daily driver. A restoration is the ENTIRE project broken down and re assembled to new. 

I came across this barn find that needed a new home as the owner became to old to enjoy his FJ (literally in a barn beside an old school Farmall Cub)

Most people have a bullet list of all the new parts installed in their restored project. Frankly, If I made a list it would be PAGES long. What I did was replaced everything that was bad  with OEM Toyota part if available. If OEM parts were not available I would search for the BEST condition used part, restore it, and if those parts weren't around they were replaced with after market parts (VERY few used).  This is truly a work of art and demands someone to treat it as such. This Fj40 is a garage queen and never sees the rain (pavement princess).

Attached are a few photos to give you an idea of what measures were taken to restore this vehicle. In my opinion this Cruiser would give Sheryl Crow or Jay Lenos  Icon FJ40 a run for their money..

If you are truly interested in owning this Cruiser I would be happy to answer any and ALL questions over the phone. It's much easier to talk in person then write a novel on an Ebay posting. 

I have over 500 photos documenting every step of this restoration and only able to post a few photos on Ebay. If there is a specific photo or question please don't hesitate to ask. 

Ebay will not allow me to upload any more photos, send a request to my email for specific photos and I'll get them to you as soon as possible.  Thank You

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."

Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.

Toyota Tacoma helps stand up to your girlfriend, mimes, magicians and the Grim Reaper

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

It takes a lot to get a product noticed in today's fast-paced world, but one avenue that's always seemed to grab the eyeballs of consumers has been humor. Toyota knows this rule well, and has put together a quartet of spots called "Tacoma Wins," in which the midsize pickup's features and specifications best a number of seemingly worthy competitors.
Whether it be sobbing girlfriends, a circus magician, a grim reaper or the scariest thing of all, a mime, the Tacoma looks well equipped to deal with it. Take a look below for all four of Toyota's newest spots.
