1976 Fj40 Land Cruiser Nut & Bolt Rotisserie Restoration on 2040-cars
Fox Island, Washington, United States
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.

2015 Toyota Camry
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Every car has its definitive year. Whether it be the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang, or yes, even the ubiquitous Toyota Camry, 10.2 million of which have been sold since 1983, every car has its year. For the Camry, that year was 1992. With son-of-Lexus styling, a clear sense of purpose and a parent company that had hit its stride as the purveyor of faultlessly reliable family transportation devices, the Camry got its legs in 1992. It's a car that even your mom is likely to remember, even if she never owned one herself.
The Camry you see here represents the closest Toyota has come to emulating the magic formula that made the 1992 model the stuff of legends. Compared to the 2014 model, some 2000 of the car's 6,000 parts are new, most of them involving things you can see or touch (on the outside, for example, only the roof carries over from 2014).
It's not a full redesign, but nevertheless it's a stunning development considering the predecessor upon which it's based only survived two model years. That's a testament to both the hyper-competitive nature of the family sedan segment and the lukewarm critical response that the outgoing car garnered. But that's in the past now - after driving this 2015 model, we suspect the new car's changes will be thorough enough to continue pulling in new customers by the hundreds of thousands each year for the foreseeable future.
Toyota recalls 337,000 RAV4s and HS250h models for tie rod failure
Thu, Sep 1 2016UPDATE: The post has been updated with additional information from NHTSA. The Basics: Toyota is recalling 337,000 2006-2011 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers built between October 31, 2005 and September 7, 2010 as well as 2010 model year Lexus HS250h cars built between July 6, 2009 and August 26, 2010. The Problem: When either an affected RAV4 or HS250h is given an alignment and the tie rod adjustment nut on the rear control arm isn't tightened properly, the threads on the tie rod can start to rust. If this happens, the nut may break off and throw off the alignment drastically and suddenly. This isn't a case of the car simply pulling to one side, either. This would seriously upset the balance of the car and could cause the driver to lose control and crash. This is also the third time these vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if this control arm issue has resulted in any injuries or deaths. Autoblog reached out to Toyota for more information, but a company representative told us that the company isn't able to discuss injuries or deaths caused by this issue (if any) at this time. Based on information from NHTSA documents, it does not appear that any crashes, injuries or deaths have been attributed to the defect addressed in the current recall. The Fix: The dealer will completely replace the rear suspension assemblies at no cost to the owner. The tie rods and nuts will also be coated in epoxy to prevent future rusting from occurring. According to Car and Driver, the previous recalls involved tightening nuts, coating decent tie rods in epoxy and completely replacing rusted ones. The car magazine reports that further complaints were filed and the company is now replacing all components regardless of condition. If you own one: Toyota will notify owners of affected cars by mail. Owners can also check whether their cars are affected by entering the VIN at safercar.gov/vin. Owners with questions can also reach Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987.

Evo pits Toyota GT86 vs. Mazda MX-5 Miata
Tue, Sep 8 2015The latest Deadly Rivals episode from Evo gets the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Toyota GT86 (our Scion FR-S) on track for a shakedown and a whole lot of drifting with Dan Prosser behind the wheel. The UK-spec coupes have slightly different power ratings than ours, but it's all close enough to be comparable. Their Miata has 158 horsepower (ours has 155), 148 pound-feet of torque, takes 7.3 seconds to run from naught to 60 62, and costs 22,695 pounds. The GT86, on the other hand, lists a 7.6-second dash to 60 62, and a base price of 25,000 pounds. The GT86 also weighs 400 pounds more than the Mazda. That's true in the States, too – curb weight for our MX-5 is 2,332 pounds, whereas the Scion FR-S comes in at 2,758 pounds. Both cars lauded for excellent shifting, but one of them has a better front end, a sweeter engine note, more controllable cornering behavior, and is faster by a tenth of a second around the test track. And Prosser doesn't mention it, but one has a lot more body roll. But it takes more than all that to make a winner, so check out the video above to see which is which.
