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 and Lexus recalling 235,000 hybrid CUVs and sedans over separate issues

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

When it rains, it pours. Toyota has announced a pair of separate but voluntary North America recalls covering approximately 235,000 vehicles built between 2006 and 2011. The larger of the two recalls targets Toyota's hybridized crossovers, the Lexus RX400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. 133,000 units, including 2006-2010 Highlander and 2006-2008 RX crossovers are covered in the campaign. The other recall affects 102,000 IS350 sedans, IS350C convertibles and GS350 sedans built between 2006 and 2011.
With the CUVs, the faults in the parallel circuits of the transistors can cause heat damage in the inverter assembly, triggering an abundance of warning lamps and sending the vehicle into limp mode. The Lexus sedans are being recalled due to loose bolts on the variable valve timing controller. Detected by unusual underhood sounds on startup, the issue can cause the engine to stop while driving. The inverter issue is also triggering similar recalls in Japan and Europe.
At the moment, it's unclear if any of these issues have caused any crashes or injuries. Toyota says it plans to notify owners of the recall via snail mail. Additional information for owners can be found on the recall sites for Toyota and Lexus or by calling Toyota's customer service line, at 1-800-331-4331.

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
