1976 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser with SBC crate motor professionally installed, V8 conversion, with 36,000 miles. Stock original Toyota 4 speed manual transmission and a Ranger Torque Splitter. The gear splitter is an auxiliary gear box that bolts in front of the standard Land Cruiser 4 speed transmissions. This fully synchronized unit allows you to split your gears at any time. Just push in the clutch, grab the Ranger's shift lever, (You will have two shifters: one for your main trans and one for the Ranger) and shift. At any speed. The splitter adds 27% to your gearing and allows this FJ40 to run down the hwy at 75 mph without pushing the transmission or the motor. The original 40 running gear has 110,463 original miles and is in excellent condition.

Toyota recounts past Supra glories

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
