VEHICLE CONDITION:
This 1978 Toyota FJ cruiser was originally owned by the state of Washington. Bureau of Land Managment. It was used to chase bears away and perform other BLM chores. All the maintainance was done according to specifications and the records were reviewed by the car collector I bought the car from. It was stored in his warehouse and used as a sunday driver around town. I purchased this FJ40 around 6 years ago from him and it has been garaged since. I used to drive it on weekends around town with my kids who are now much older and have moved on to "more interesting" weekend fun so it's time for this gem to find a new home.
NOTE: This is not a restored FJ. It is a very well maintained and original SURVIVOR.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE:
HFS (Hell for stout) suspension from CCOT (Cool cruisers of Texas) Toyota springs with CCOT Brass Shackles etc.,
BF Goodrich tires with less than 500 miles on them.
Replaced headliner.
New rubber and window seals in great shape, no rattles.
Rims powder coated white.
Seat belts new.
New master cylinder.
Like new bucket seats.
Flip down seats in great shape.
Is set up for towing with plug reciver and bumper brackets for Blue Ox tow bar (tow bar not included).
Passes California smog and has original smog specs under the hood (very important).
Original LandCruiser manual.
Original 2F 4.2 LT. six cylinder motor runs great.
All features work as they should. Heater, directional signals, brake lights, headlights, running lights.
This FJ40 shifts great. The 4x4 and 2x4 all work nicely. The brakes, parking brake and clutch are all good to go.
The color is Buffalo Brown and and as you can see by the photos is in excellent condition.
I have taken pictures of the few small areas of imperfection. The dash has two cracks. There is a small chip on the hood where it touches the roof with the hood up. There are 3 very small areas where the paint is bubbling about the size of a quarter and dime. These spots are on the drivers front fender and the drivers door, bottom outside.
There is a small oil leak in the rear main seal.
I have talked to Spector offroad and the folks at CCOT and the gasket to fix it is cheap but the labor is not. The experts tell me they all leak, so if fixed, the leak will just return in a few years. Anyway I did not bother.
The radio is AM/FM with CD player. The speakers are in the original spot but have been replaced. No holes were drilled or cutouts made to replace the old speakers. The trim piece for the stereo was modified slightly to accommodate the the new stereo but I have the original trim piece should you want to put the original AM radio back in.
She is a beauty, in excellent original condition. I have many more pictures for those interested. Please be specific when asking for additional photos because I have over 100. I was limited to 24 shots by EBAY.
I will help with shipping.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION so
Good luck bidding to all interested.

2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Volvos earn IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Tue, Oct 2 2018It's time for another round-up of recent IIHS crash tested cars. The trio this time include the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, 2019 Volvo XC90 and 2018 Volvo S90. All three have earned one of the highest ratings from the IIHS, the Top Safety Pick. And all three continue a trend of very safe cars having slightly below-par headlights, preventing them from earning the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating. Of these three cars, the Corolla Hatchback has the most impressive scores. It earned the highest "Good" rating in every single crash test, including the difficult small-overlap passenger-side collision. It also received the top score for access to LATCH anchors for child seats. The standard forward collision prevention technology also brought home the best score possible, stopping the car before a crash at speeds up to 25 mph. The headlights themselves weren't particularly bad either, earning the second-highest score of "Acceptable" with both the standard and optional LED headlights. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Both Volvos shared similar scores to the Corolla Hatchback, with "Good" ratings for all crash tests they participated in, and top rank for their standard forward collision technology. Both vehicles were not tested for the passenger-side small overlap collision, so there is no score in that area. Both also received the "Acceptable" rating for LATCH anchor access. In the headlight department, the XC90 earned "Acceptable" scores for both of its available headlights, and the S90 received an "Acceptable" for its optional lights, while the standard ones were rated as "Marginal."

Toyota FV2 Concept is a single-seat mood ring for the road
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Of all the vehicles Toyota brought to the Tokyo Motor Show, the FV2 might be the most creative. The minimalist single-seat concept is a glimpse at Toyota's idea of a "fun to drive" vehicle in the future.
The FV2 is essentially a pod with a diamond-shaped wheel array (what powers said wheels has not been disclosed), and Toyota says that the technology of the vehicle allows it to gauge the driver's mood and suggest possible destinations. The interaction between driver and vehicle is also displayed in an augmented reality screen on the windshield, and the car can also act as a mood ring of sorts with exterior colors and patterns that can change based on the driver's mood. We can just see it now: "Don't mess with Jim today, his car is red."
Scroll down for a brief press release on the FV2.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault-Nissan hits 250,000 EVs, will the next Toyota Prius be an SUV?
Sat, Jun 27 2015Will the next Toyota Prius be an SUV? Mazda and Toyota recently reached an agreement to share powertrain technologies, which will help Mazda comply with California's tightening ZEV restrictions with a plug-in vehicle. On the flip side, Toyota will have access Mazda's Skyactiv diesel powertrain, which a source tells Motoring will be used in an SUV based on the Toyota Prius (and, as Hybrid Cars suggests, on the Toyota C-HR concept). Interestingly, the collaboration will also give Mazda access to Toyota's fuel cell technology, which could mean more hydrogen powered cars on the road and the subsequent expansion of hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Could it also make way for a long-awaited hydrogen powered rotary-engine sports car from Mazda? Read more at Motoring. Samsung SDI unveiled two new lithium-ion stationary batteries at Intersolar Europe. In doing so, Samsung throws its hat in the ring with the likes of automakers Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, using knowledge from electric vehicle batteries in the arena of home solar energy storage. In addition to its 3.6-kWh battery, its new 5.5-kWh and 8.0-kWh batteries offer storage solutions at a larger, more practical scale for solar customers. Called the All-in-One, the battery system, borrowed from electric vehicles, is made up of a photovoltaic inverter, battery PCS and lithium-ion battery, and promises efficiency, compactness, fast installation and an affordable price.

The quarter-millionth EV was a white Renault Zoe sold to a French computer engineer from Bordeaux named Yves Nivelle. While he credits a government program offering a ˆ10,000 rebate for EV buyers trading in an older diesel vehicle for helping him make the decision to pull the trigger on the new Zoe, "I have to say, I was convinced the first time I drove the car. It's a real pleasure to drive and it feels good to do my part for the environment," says Nivelle. The Alliance had sold around 31,600 EVs from January to May this year, up 15 percent from the first five months of 2014. See the video above, and read more in the press release below.
