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.

Japanese automakers kick in $800k for new charging-station company

Mon, Jun 2 2014

Cynics may say that gathering $800,000 (total) from four of Japan's largest automakers is merely a rounding error. Still, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, along with the Development Bank of Japan, are putting those funds to good use. So, that's something. Last week, those five entities officially founded Nippon Charge Service LLC. The company was established to promote plug-in vehicle charging installations across Japan and the automakers seeded it with 80 million yen, or about $786,000 US. Those funds will be used to help business owners deploy charging stations at convenience stores, highway-side locales and other locations that will make it easier for plug-in vehicle drivers (of Toyotas, Hondas, Mitsubishis and Nissans, obviously) to get their juice. The automakers first announced they'd collaborate last year, when they said they'd work with the Japanese government to more than triple the country's publicly accessible chargers to about 17,000 units. No targets were disclosed as far as how many charging stations would be deployed this time out, but, in a move similar to the EZ Charge system in the US, Nippon Charge Service will also have universally-accepted charging cards available by the end of the year to drivers all of those brands' plug-in vehicles to make the charging process a little more seamless. Check out Honda's press release below. Japan Automakers Advance Electric Charging Infrastructure with New Company, Nippon Charge Service -Established to help build charging infrastructure for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs and EVs)- Toyota Motor Corporation Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Development Bank of Japan Inc. TOKYO, Japan, May 30, 2014 - Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation jointly established a new company, Nippon Charge Service, LLC, on May 26 to promote the installation of chargers for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs, EVs). The goal is to help build a charging network that offers more convenience to drivers in Japan. The new company will promote the installation of chargers, for the good of society and to expand the use of electric-powered vehicles. Related industries are also expected to benefit.

Watch a Camry driver in full road rage

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.

FIA introduces 'Hypercar Concept' for World Endurance Championship

Sun, Jun 10 2018

One of the most common jabs at hypercars is the question, "Where can you drive them to their potential?" Imagine the answer being: to the checkered flag in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We're not there yet, but the FIA World Motor Sport Council took a step closer to the possibility during its second annual meeting in Manila, the Philippines. One of three initiatives the WSMC announced for the 2020 World Endurance Championship was "Freedom of design for brands based on a 'Hypercar' concept." This "Hypercar concept" would replace LMP1 as the premier class in the WEC. The dream, of course, would be seeing racing versions of the AMG Project One, Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Regera, McLaren Senna GTR, Pagani Huara BC, and the rest of the gang trading paint and carbon fiber through Dunlop in a heinously expensive version of "Buy on Sunday, sell on Monday." The reality is that we don't have all the details yet on the set of regulations called "GTP," but the FIA wants race cars more closely tied to road cars, albeit with the performance level of today's LMP1 cars. Exterior design freedom would shelter internals designed to reduce costs, the FIA planning to mandate less complex hybrid systems and allow the purchase of spec systems. One of the FIA's primary goals is lowering LMP1 budgets to a quarter of their present levels. Audi and Porsche budgets exceeded $200 million, while Toyota - the only factory LMP1 entry this year and next - is assumed to have a budget hovering around $100 million. Reports indicated that Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford, McLaren, and Toyota sat in on the development of the proposed class. If the FIA can get costs down to around $25 million, that would compare running a top IndyCar team and have to be hugely appealing to the assembled carmakers. The initiative represents another cycle of the roughly once-a-decade reboot of sports car racing to counter power or cost concerns. The FIA shut down Group 5 Special Production Sports Car class in 1982 to halt worrying power hikes, and introduced Group C. In 1993, Group C came to an ignoble end over costs; manufacturers were spending $15 million on a season, back when that was real money and not one-fifth of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Then came the BPR Global GT Series that morphed into the FIA GT Championship, which would see the last not-really-a-road car take overall Le Mans victory in 1998, the Porsche 911 GT1. That era would be most aligned with a future hypercar class.
