I have been an enthusiest for 20 years and have had many fj45 pickups over the years. A friend of mine in australia and I decided to bring some fj45 utes over from australia here to california. My goal is to bring in some neat fj45's and hj47 utes and offer them as real untouched,unrestored, running and driving work trucks and most importantly offer them at affordable prices that most can afford. There will be no fresh paint jobs, bondo,mismatched parts,etc. No buy it now for $75k!! No dealers, or out of the country sales. These trucks are located in California by private party. with that said they cannot be registered here in california directly. They need to be registered in a neighboring state first and then can come into california. So use due diligence when bidding and make sure you can register in your state(most are very easy) California is always the hardest state to register vehicles. This truck will be sold with a bill of sale and dot import paperwork, Aussie trucks do not have a title. This is a 1977 fj45 ute rhd. It has been upgraded with the much sought after 1hz late model toyota diesel engine,as well as an h41 4spd with the low first gear,and a split transfercase. It also has power disk brakes and rare power steering! and factory full float rear end and split rims! It is a well used original paint fj45 that runs great, goes down the road great. the engine has aprox 180 km and has NO blowby, and does not smoke at all, even dead cold fires right up after a short glow(manual glow system. Runs very strong and is quiet,a real joy to drive. the frame is solid, no rust,the cab has various rust spots,top lower corners( I have replacement sections for this) Pass floor has some rust through,windshield frame has some minor areas,nothing that isnt fixable.The brakes need some work, right front caliper seized and maybe a master cylinder? Hard pedal fade. Engine is very dry, no major leaks anywhere.Seats need some work. Basically an honest solid drivetrain,that runs drives and goes down the road. Would be a great truck to tinker on and fix the cosmetics as you drive. Please ask questions and have good feedback, and be serious and dont waste my time! Good luck...THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!

2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.

Lexus gets new boss, and he's a designer

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

A reshuffle in the uppermost ranks of Lexus could see the Japanese luxury brand further energize its recent focus on design. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota's global design boss, is the new head of Lexus International.
Fukuichi will retain his role as the overall head of design for Toyota, Lexus and Scion, and will assume his new position at the head of Lexus and on its board on April 1 (no fooling). This is going to be an interesting move for fans of design to watch, as Fukuichi has repeatedly been mentioned as a designer that enjoys pushing the edge of the envelope and experimenting. He is, after all, the man responsible for designing the most awesomely odd minivan of the 1990s, the mid-engined, rear-drive Toyota Previa, and more recently, he signed off on the controversial Lexus LF-NX concept, which is said to presage a new production small crossover.
"Regarding changes in design, no one has 100 percent confidence," Fukuichi told Forbes back in January 2013. "No one can really say with pure certainty that, 'In two years, this will sell well.'" As Akio Toyoda continues to demand more assertive, edgier designs, it's that point of view that should make Fukuichi a valuable addition to Lexus, as it continues to challenge the competition from Germany.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
