Up for grabs is this rare 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  This FJ is in excellent mechanical shape, and I just had it fully tuned-up, to include all new fluids, new spark plugs, wires, etc, and also a new fuel filter.  At the same time, I had a compression test performed-all cylinders were within 5psi of 150 psi, this 2F motor is very strong.  The Land Cruiser starts up very easily, and I have been using this as a daily driver on both city streets and the highway with no problems.  I rarely have to use the choke, it starts that easily!  Brakes are tight are work very well.  The four speed transmission shifts easily, the clutch is strong, and while older, it does have plenty of "pep" to keep up with traffic.    

Interior is also in good shape, as all of the gauges are fully functional, the wipers work, and so do the turn signals!  The radio is present, it may not be original, and it is not functional at present.  The seats are in brand-new shape, and have clearly been recovered.  The heater is present for both the front and the rear, and appears to be complete (although I have not tested it).  Rear jump seats are included with the vehicle.  

Obviously, the exterior has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab.  However, it is not nearly as bad as some of the Land Cruisers I have had, and everything is easily fixable.  Tires have plenty of tread, spare is covered by a modern FJ Cruiser wheel cover; original wheels and hub caps appear to be in good condition.  Since these photos have been taken, I replaced the brake light covers with new pieces.  I know that it does not have ambulance doors presently, but this could be easily remedied.  The front bumper is new, as is the grille guard.  I will include rear bumperettes with the sale.  

Please feel free to ask any questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  

I am a licensed dealer located in Nashville, TN; my main focus is Toyota Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's/4x4's, and this is a great example of an FJ that can be purchased for an affordable price and driven as-is and/or restored.  In addition to the purchase price, there is a $199 doc fee, .03% Nashville city tax, and a $25 fee to send the title to you via FedEx.  

I can assist with financing for this FJ, please contact me directly for details. 

I will take trades on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly to discuss.  

I can also assist with delivery of this FJ to you anywhere in the United States or internationally (buyer to pay all shipping fees), please provide your zip code for the most accurate quote.  

Again, please ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.  Please confirm with your spouse/partner/child/pet/religious leader that you are serious about purchasing this vehicle BEFORE bidding AND that you have the sufficient funds in place to pay for this FJ40.  Again, I am available to answer questions on 615-300-6004 or via eBay.  

We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Cashier's Check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), and Credit/Debit Cards (3% swipe fee applies).  I will release the title only after all of the outstanding balance has been collected; if paying by check, title will be sent separately after seven (7) business days.  The FJ will be sold with a thirty day temporary tag.  I will send the title to the buyer via FedEx.  

This is a great driving truck with a ton of potential that is ready for immediate duty as a daily driver.  The reserve is set VERY low for an FJ40, please do not contact me to disclose the reserve price.  This vehicle is also listed for sale on Rockstar Motorcars.  

Thanks!

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
