1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  

I've been restoring this vehicle since April of 2013 and it has turned out far better than I expected.  I've gone to great lengths to keep it as stock as possible.  I've replaced or restored almost every part of this vehicle.  It runs excellent and drives strong.

Key items that people usually ask about:
  • Original Toyota 2F Straight 6-Cyl engine.
  • Original Toyota transmission and t-case.
  • Does not have Power Steering or AC.
  • Dune Beige paint code 416.
  • New seat upholstery.
  • New BF Goodrich MT 33x10.50 x 15 tires.  No more than 20 miles are on these tires.
  • All hardware is brand new and done in stainless steel.
  • Spectre air intake assembly.  
  • 124,812 original miles.  Odometer currently reads 24,812.
Restoration Process:
This vehicle started with very little rust.  I broke down the entire vehicle, sent every piece to the sand blaster (there's a pic or two of sandblasted parts), personally sanded every part, etched, primed and then sent all parts to a local body/paint shop for professional final body and paint work.  The vehicle is rust free, straight and flat.  The paint is beautiful, shiny, brilliant and vibrant in color.  (There are a couple pics that show the progress of the restoration).

The interior has a professional Hippo liner in the base tub from the real seal to the front fire wall.  The Hippo liner is rubberized and color injected (not painted on top of the liner).  The liner deadens sound and can take a beating.  The color exactly matches the rest of the vehicle.  The seats are professional upholstered and done in black.

As you can see from the pics there are too many parts to list that I purchased new for this restoration. From top to bottom this baby is new and fully functional.  All gauges and components of the electrical system are operational.  Drive train is strong.  Windows are operational.  Doors seal tightly and all have new weatherstripping.  I even completely disassembled the rear license plate holder and made sure it was working.

I can't think of anything else this land cruiser needs.  You are getting a stunning vehicle at half of the cost a professional restoration house would charge you.

Conditions for Purchase:
I require $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction.  I take wire transfer or bank check.  Once I verify the deposit, I will overnight the title to you.  Once you receive title, you have 5 working days to get me the remaining balance.  Im willing to help arrange shipping of the FJ40 or hold it for two weeks while shipping and/or pick up arrangements are made.

I've used this method of collecting payment/delivery of the title & vehicle many times.  I works great.  Please do NOT ask me to use PayPal - they only protect the buyer and give no insurance to the seller.  Not to mention they take 3% of the sale.

Questions & Seller Note:
I've restored a few FJ40's in my day and take great pride in the restoration.  With that said, I don't do this for a living - it's just a hobby.  The vehicle is not perfect - if it were you would be buying it from Cool Cruisers or ICON and be paying over $50k for the vehicle.  I've never had a complaint from anyone who bought an FJ40 from me.  I make sure they are completely happy and I've maintained a lot of friendships across the country from my transactions.  Please call me to talk about the FJ40 and/or to make me an offer.  I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  The vehicle is for sale as-is.

Contact Info:
I respond very quickly to a phone call or text to Dan 801-556-9399.  You're welcome to email through eBay but it might take me a few hours to respond.  Additionally, I will tell you that my last FJ40 sale people hesitated to click the "Buy It Now" button.  The vehicle sold to someone who called me and finalized the deal over the phone and I ended the auction early.  Afterwords, I had over 10 people call me and ask me if it sold and had regrets they did not click the "Buy it Now" button.  My price is fair given the quality and detail of this restoration and how it compares to others on the market.  Thank you and good luck!

Toyota recalls power window switches for 6.5 million vehicles [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 21 2015

UPDATE: There was one incident of someone in the US getting a burn to the hand from this issue Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that. "We have 11 reports where part of the door trim and/or switch was burnt," she said. The company isn't aware of any crashes from the problem, though. Because of a potential short circuit in the driver's side power window switch, Toyota is recalling 6.5 million vehicles worldwide, Reuters reports. Of those, the automaker says around 2 million are in the US. The affected models here are: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD According to Toyota, the switch might not have received adequate lubricant grease during manufacturing, and over time this could lead to a short circuit. In a worst-case scenario, the part might even overheat, melt and cause a fire. As a fix, dealers will inspect the component on these vehicles and apply heat-resistant grease to it, and any broken examples will have an internal circuit board replaced. Toyota already issued one recall for this problem in 2012 when it had to repair 7.5 million vehicles globally from the 2007-2009 model years, including 2.5 million in the US. These latest models had the grease applied in a different way. Related Video: Toyota Recalls Certain Vehicles for Power Window Master Switch October 21, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 2,000,000 vehicles related to the driver's side Power Window Master Switch. The involved vehicles include certain: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD The Power Window Master Switch in the involved vehicles may have been manufactured with insufficient lubricant grease. If not enough grease is applied, under certain conditions the switch may develop a short circuit that can cause the switch assembly to overheat and melt. A melting switch can produce smoke and potentially lead to a fire. Toyota previously recalled certain 2007-2009 model year vehicles for a similar condition.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"

Toyota, Kaley Cuoco grant wishes in Super Bowl XLVII ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

For viewers who plan on watching the Super Bowl only for the commercials, here's one for you to enjoy ahead of time. As we saw in the teaser video that Toyota released last week, will be making the transition from Big Bang to The Big Game as a wish-granting genie in a commercial for the 2013 Toyota RAV4.
Though not as entertaining as the actual teaser for this commercial, it still garnered a couple chuckles from the Autoblog crew. We won't spoil it for you, but a word of advice: if Cuoco ever shows up in your driveway granting you wishes, we'd suggest you be very clear what you want... and enunciate.
If you want to see the commercial before this Sunday's game, we have the video (and an accompanying press release) posted after the jump.
