1979 Bj40 Land Cruiser Australian Rhd 13b-t Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States
|
I am selling a beast of a cruiser that is fun to drive and gets plenty of attention. The BJ40 started life in Australia, then over to New Zealand and then legally imported to the USA. All import paperwork and fee's are completed and I have a Idaho title in my name. I am in the middle of a 2 year restoration on my 82 Fj40 and need more $$$ , so the BJ is for sale.
12 volt, not the costly 24 volt system common in Canada and other countries. All blinkers, wipers, horn ect.. working 4 speed transmission/transfer case work great and drivetrain is quiet. It also has a heavy duty full floating rear end not found in the US. imported fj40's. EFS of Australia suspension system includes 4" spring lift with grease zirk shackles. Ride quality is good and little more firm than my stock 82 FJ40. Body and frame are in good condition, some typical rust issues are present in back seal, rear doors, bottom front door, top by windows and small areas in floor. I think it is cleaner than most on the road. Previous owner applied some rust converter to surface rust areas ,repair while you drive or go all out for the next couple years on a body off restoration. I personally planned on driving it as is, camping and wheeling without a care about scratches. This cruiser is a capable off roader , very unique and gets a lot of attention. If you are hoping that it is a 25-50k rig for cheap it is not, but investing $$$ into body, paint and interior work it would be money well spent and cruisers are climbing in value. I have it listed for sale locally and on other classifieds, so I reserve the right to sell. Any questions call 801-550-6042. Thanks |

Lightweight Toyota GT86 spotted on Nordschleife with carbon panels, upgraded aero
Tue, 24 Jun 2014We've seen (and frankly reported on) so many rumors of more powerful and performance-focused versions of the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S at this point that haven't materialized that, at this point, we're almost tired of them. Almost. But what we have here was enough to pique our jaded interests as only a carbon-bodied sports car on the Nürburgring could do.
What we're looking at is, well, we don't quite know, to tell you the truth. What we can tell is that it's a Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S for us) wearing new wheels and a carbon-fiber hood, roof, racing-spec rear wing and subtle lip spoiler. The vents in the hood indicate that the prototype in question could be packing an upgraded engine to go with the lighter body panels and upgraded aero, and the interior (at least as far as we can see) looks pretty well stripped out.
The right-hand drive configuration tells us this is either destined for former territories of the British Empire or for the racetrack. Considering the ride height, full glass and apparent lack of roll cage, our money's on this prototype is being developed for the Japanese Domestic Market, where Toyota badges the sports car simply as the 86. We can always hope, though, that some version makes it into Scion showrooms in North America... we just won't get our hopes up too high.
Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.
Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
