You are bidding on a 1978 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser that has had some restoration done to it. The previous owner kept the vehicle garaged in Midlothian, VA and was only used as a fun weekend vehicle. The paint job speaks for itself in the pictures. No rust. There is some fading on the roof and some very small, minor chips/scratches but overall it is in great condition. The previous owner also made the conversion to a Chevy 350 V8 engine, 4 speed transmission. Starts and runs with no problems. Additional features: Mud King XT 32 x 11.5R x 15 LTM+S Tires, full custom roll bars, seats are original leather and are in excellent condition, Hella Fog Lamps (wiring still needs to be completed), upgraded metal brake lines, full Rhino undercoating, new muffler, tailpipe, battery, and car cover. The rear quarter panel of glass was fixed with Lexan DIY but should be an easy replacement for less than $50. Fuel gauge is stuck (unsure if it's the gauge or transmitter). Air conditioning does not work. Heater does. Radio works but an antenna needs to be installed. The front tires rub against the roll cage if you take a turn to tight or fast. It could use a 1-2" lift. Folding ambulance style seats in the rear. This vehicle is in good running condition and needs just a little more love to get it fully restored. Most of the restoration items are minor things. The only reason I am selling is because I am in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii. The vehicle is in Virginia with my parents. I haven't had much opportunity to drive it or spend restoring it. I had to buy another vehicle here in Hawaii recently when my daily driver died. I'd love to keep it but I just don't have the time to put into it right now and want to find a good home with someone who does have the time and money. The vehicle needs to be seen to be appreciated. It's a head turner and I got stopped whenever I made a run to the store or at a stoplight with people complimenting or asking about it.

Toyota reports huge quarterly profit increase, raises forecast for the year
Sun, 04 Aug 2013Toyota isn't just the world's largest automaker - so far its the biggest winner for quarterly profits. With an enormous $5.5 billion take during Q2, Toyota took advantage of the weak Japanese yen and strong US demand to record a 94-percent improvement in profit over the same period from last year. So far, Toyota brought in larger profits than Ford and General Motors combined.
Toyota is showing no signs of slowing down either, as it has bumped up its forecast for full-year global production, going from 9.94 million to 10.12 million vehicles, on the back of a 13-percent drop in the buying power of the Japanese yen versus the US dollar. That strong exchange rate is largely responsible for Toyota's big jump in profits, although it also managed to shift 1.3 million vehicles in the US market this year. Strong Camry sales have also helped. But while Toyota is raking in the cash, it actually saw a small drop in market share, down 0.1 percent to 14.3 percent of the US market.
As is the case with most automakers, Toyota seems flummoxed by Europe, where it recorded less than one percent of its revenue. Still, as Automotive News points out, Toyota only maintains a 4.5-percent market share in Europe and is far less dependent on the continent than other manufacturers. Toyota also struggled at home, much like Honda. With 525,777 units sold, JDM sales were down almost 51,000 units, although Toyota still saw its operating profit jump from $3.5 billion to $4.6 billion.
eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute
Mon, 05 Aug 2013With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
