 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. 


 Bj40 includes:


 13B-T diesel turbo engine, replacing the stock 3B with a 13B-T is a desirable and costly upgrade. Engine is awesome and starts and runs great. A good engine for bio fuel use.

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.
 
33" tires are mud terrain type and have near new tread. They are aggressive tires and best suited for back roads.

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

Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes

Fri, Feb 6 2015

It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.
