1978 Toyota FJ40 Land CruiserRestored FJ40 Land Cruiser 4WD 4.2L 4 Speed/ Fuel Injected!! /Factory Dune Beige Color Vehicle InfoExterior/Body- The body on this 1978 FJ40 is almost all new. The following have been replaced:
Engine- This FJ40 has the original straight 6 in it with low miles (around 110k miles). The really nice thing about this engine is the fuel injection. There is a TBI injection kit from Man-a-fre. This kit is solid and has run really well for me, it runs well because I took the time to buy all the necessary parts i.e. painless wiring harness, all new sensors, brand new electronic distributor etc. To make it run like it should I had Howell EFI burn a computer chip especially for this FJ40. There is nothing like getting into this Cruiser and having it crank right up and go. Also the gas mileage is around ~18 MPG depending how heavy your foot is. Other than that all systems in the engine have been properly sorted. Finally, if the buyer would like the old parts to convert this back to a carb I have those and will include them upon request. Overall this is great running LandCruiser Interior- As you can see from the pictures the front seats have been recovered and are in new condition. When I was replacing the seat covers I installed heated seat elements in the Driver and passenger seats. These are great for those cold mornings- definitely what every Cruiser should have. There is a factory original jump seat in the back and the original cover is in good shape. Audio System- I have replaced the front radio with a good quality JVC unit some Pioneer 6x9's in boxes in the back along with a bazooka sub in the back. It has a great sound with the top on or off. Winch- Included with the truck is the venerable Warn 8274. It runs really well and has a remote that is in great condition. I put a custom from bumper on to mount the winch it gives the truck a great recovery option and looks great. Power Steering- I had the GM/Saginaw conversion done, it is clean and looks like it has always been there. There is no "strong arming" yourself around the road. It is the only way to go with an FJ40 plus it tightens up the steering by removing all the sloppy factory joints. Lift Kit- Overall there is 5 inches of lift on this truck. It is sprung under using Hell Creek 4" leaf springs and +1 inch Ruff Stuff shackles. I have also installed Bilstein 5100 series shocks. Tire size is 35x12.5 R17 running in American Racing Mojave wheels. Questions- Feel free to ask me any questions, I will respond as quickly as I can. On Sep-03-14 at 18:04:46 PDT, seller added the following information: Something that I forgot to mention- I will keep adding them to the auction as I think of them. |

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma mule caught towing in the desert
Wed, 13 Aug 2014With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon set to arrive in dealers in the near future, it's high time Toyota got to work on a replacement for the Tacoma, a vehicle whose present generation debuted in the middle of the Bush Administration. Now, we have images of that new pickup undergoing testing.
Our spy photographers picked up this heavily modified mule undergoing tow tests in the desert. It rides on a modified version of the current Taco's frame, as evidenced by shots of its undercarriage, although our spies cite the lack of riveted sections as indications that the current truck's footprint should remain unchanged.
Aside from underbody changes, this particular Tacoma featured a six-speed manual transmission, which we're expecting to be joined by a six-speed automatic. The current four- and five-speed autos found on the current truck will almost certainly be killed off. Marching to the grave with those slushboxes will be the two-door Regular Cab body style. Our spies are expecting Toyota to focus its efforts on the larger, more accessible Double Cab.
Toyota JV will sell Leahead EVs in China next year
Thu, Oct 23 2014You may have read that Toyota is about to establish a new electric vehicle sub-brand in China called Leahead that will focus on "cheap electric cars aimed at young and hip car buyers in China." This isn't 100 percent true, but the Japanese automaker is revving its electric motors for EVs in China, in a fashion. It makes sense for automakers to push for more EVs in China, given government support for the technology and the proven success of Tesla there. Low-speed EVs are popular, as well. Indirectly, Toyota is going to sell electric vehicles to Chinese customers next year. We've heard reports before that Toyota is interested in going electric in China, with a different Toyota JV and thus a different brand but now we have an official word on Toyota's future EV moves in China, direct from Jana Hartline, the environmental communications manager for Toyota Motor Sales, USA. Hartline told AutoblogGreen that Toyota just celebrated the 10-year anniversary of GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd (GTMC), its joint-venture manufacturing company in China. And it is GTMC, not Toyota directly, that is the company behind Leahead (called Ling Zhi in Chinese). Leahead will begin selling EVs under the Ling Zhi brand starting in 2015. So, yes, indirectly, Toyota is going to sell electric vehicles to Chinese customers next year. There are rumors that the new EVs will be electric versions of the Corolla EX and/or the Yaris L, but we've got nothing confirmed on that front. We will be waiting for more new at the Shanghai Motor Show next April.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
