Hey FJ40 fans!  Up for sale is my 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a Chevy 327 V-8 / Power Steering upgrade!


It's stunning.  I get compliments on the quality and look for this FJ on a daily basis.  It really is nice.  In summary, I've gone through this FJ and replaced every item I could think of to get it in tip-top condition - inside and out.

If you look around and compare this product to others out there, you'll find that I go to great lengths to make sure this is quality.  For example, this FJ was completely disassembled and sand blasted.  After blasting, etching, filler, primer, sealer and then painted in pieces before reassembly.  

If you look at the pictures you'll see that most of the parts on the vehicle are new from either Cool Cruisers or SOR.  Too many new parts to list.

Some of the main items to note are:

  • Brand new Rough Country springs, shocks, zinc plated shackles, and poly bushings.  
  • Brand new professional upholstery on the front seats.  SOR jump seat covers.  
  • SOR headliner & dash.
  • New front fenders from Cool Cruisers.  
  • Brand new front and rear signals.
  • Rhino lining in the rear bed to the front floorboards - flawless.  (Lower tub only).
  • Saginaw power steering.
  • Brand new American Racing rims with 35x12.50 x 15 tires (roughly 80% tread life remaining).
  • Plugs, wires, electronic ignition (Mallory distributor), and new timing...  Starts and runs like a swiss watch.  
  • Brand new exhaust system (two mufflers and all new pipe).
  • New Cool Cruisers weatherstripping on all four doors.
  • New main seal, and service on the engine, transmission and t-case.  (Stock Toyota 4-speed Tranny & T-Case.)
  • All new emblems from Cool Cruisers.
  • Many other new parts not worthy of listing.  Please refer to pics.
Conditions for Purchase:
Please only bid if you're serious.  You're also welcome to call or email me to make offers or ask questions.  I require $1000 down within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  The balance is due 5 working days thereafter.  You can pay by cash, bank check or wire transfer.  NO PAYPAL (They only protect the buyer).  I can hold the vehicle for you while you arrange shipping or while you fly here to drive it home.   Please call Dan at 801-556-9399 with questions or offers.  

Disclaimer:
Restoring FJ40's is a hobby for me and I'm not a professional.  This vehicle is not showroom perfect by any means.  However, you'll find that I go to great lengths with quality.  I restored this vehicle with care and as if I was going to sell it to my father.  It is stunning.  Vehicle sold as-is.  No warranties.  Buyer to arrange shipping from Bountiful, Utah 84010.  Thanks everyone!

Toyota celebrates 30 years of 4Runner with... incentives?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Many Americans view their 30th birthdays as significant milestones, even though the average life expectancy here is more than 2.5 times that age. So you might think Toyota would be keen to party over the 30th anniversary of its 4Runner, since most models don't even live to half that age. You can put that idea away unless you consider discounts of $500 to $1,000 something worthy of cake and kazoos, since it appears that's all the birthday SUV will get. That's right, not even a trim-and-tape special edition or so much as a sticker. We asked Toyota for comment and were told they had "No other 30th anniversary 4Runner items to announce at the time."
So, about those incentives: they climb from $500 on the SR5 and Trail editions to $750 on Premium models and $1,000 on the Limited trims. Toyota says they're available at dealerships now and will last for the entire year. There's a press release below with a little more background, and there's a sad violin playing somewhere in the distance.
Disappointed, party of one, your table is now ready...

Toyota settles for $3M after being found liable in sudden acceleration case

Sat, 26 Oct 2013

A jury has decided that faulty software was to blame for a crash involving a 2005 Toyota Camry that killed one woman and injured another. This is the first time Toyota has been found liable by a jury in a lawsuit involving sudden acceleration claims. Toyota has maintained that driver error is the most likely cause for cases of sudden acceleration.
Shortly after the jury in the case, which took place in Oklahoma and centered around a crash that injured 76-year-old Jean Bookout and killed her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, reached a verdict that would see Toyota paying $3 million in compensatory damages, a confidential settlement was reached. The jury, which had found Toyota liable for "reckless disregard" for public safety, had yet to decide what punitive damages Toyota would face.
Toyota said in a statement, "While we strongly disagree with the verdict, we are satisfied that the parties reached a mutually acceptable agreement to settle this case. We will continue to defend our products vigorously at trial in other legal venues."

VW targeting 10M sales in 2014

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.
