1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Fuel Injected (Howell).

This FJ40 really is special. The Freeborn Red (T-309) really turns the heads. The straight 6-cyl runs like a champ - especially with the added fuel injection package.

About this restoration. All windows, hinges, doors, body parts, etc. were all disassembled and sent to the sand blaster. Upon return from the sandblaster, every piece was sanded, then etching primer was applied, then sanded again. Then filler primer was added. Then sanded. Then a second coat of filler primer was added. Then sanded. Then the painter applied a seal coat and sanded again. Then painted.

The FJ40 includes the hard top, hard front and rear doors, and soft front doors.

This is a full restoration frame-on. I can't think of anything I would add at this point. I can't possibly think of all the items I added to this vehicle so here's a summary:

New Freeborn Red T-309 paint. (professionally painted - not a home job like some).
New CoolCruisers front fenders.
New CoolCruisers rear quarter panels.
Nearly every bolt on the body of this vehicle has been replaced with stainless steel hardware.
Rhino lined interior (also red).
Newly upholstered front seats (also done professionally).
CoolCruisers rear jump seat covers.
CoolCruisers new seat belts - front and rear.
CoolCruisers locking center console.
CoolCruiser side mirrors.
Old Man Emu 2.5" spring lift.
Con-Ferr shackles & shocks.
Brand new (less than 20 miles) BFG MT's 33x10.50 x 15.
CoolCruisers rear floor mat, emblems, lights, hard top headliner, weatherstripping, door guards, vent window guards, bumperettes, dash cover, etc. etc. etc...
There is a working stereo in the center console lock box.
Original jack, jack rods, Toyota tool bag.
All glass is clear and operable.
Custom front bumper that is winch ready.

Overall condition: The engine runs great. Transmission and t-case move easily in and out of gears. Brakes are strong including a working e-brake. Steering is tight. All rust has been removed and replaced with new parts where possible. Keep in mind I don't do this for a living. The cruiser is restored to the best of my ability but I would never represent that it is perfect. If you want perfection buy from ICON or CoolCruisers or one of the professional restoration companies that charge $50k or more. Thanks.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford Fusion and Toyota Highlander named Best Hybrids for Families; Funky Prius motorhome

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Tesla Model S customers in China will receive a "Universal Mobile Charger" with their vehicle. The charger will allow drivers to charge their Tesla anywhere, without having to search out a Supercharger when out in the wild. It allows Model S drivers a bit more freedom and helps alleviate worries about traveling too far from home. It could also help sway potential customers who suffer from range anxiety. The charger will be free to new and existing customers when it becomes available this summer. Read more at Car News China. US News & World Reports' list of Best Cars for Families includes two hybrids. The 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid was chosen as the Best Hybrid Car for Families, while the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid was picked as the Best Hybrid SUV for Families. The Fusion hybrid was chosen for its roomy, comfortable cabin, as well as the MyKey system's features for new drivers. The Highlander Hybrid offers eight seats - good for carpooling - as well as good mileage and a quality infotainment system. Read more at US News & World Reports or at Hybrid Cars. Audi plans to give its electric vehicles looks that differentiate them from the rest of the lineup. "In early 2018, we will launch a battery-powered sports activity vehicle in the large premium segment with a range of more than 500 kilometers," says Audi's head of development, Ulrich Hackenberg. "It will have a new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." According to analysts, part of the reason the Toyota Prius was so successful was because it was easy to distinguish from other Toyota models with conventional powertrains. Read more at Automotive News Europe. An Australian man turned his Toyota Prius into a miniature motorhome. James Lawler used mostly scraps to build the tiny house – complete with tin roof, chimney, and stained glass window Â– for just $150 Australian. It took him about a week to finish. Lawler made use of his creation at the Meredith Music Festival so he didn't have to sleep in a tent. He was, however, fined by police for driving the makeshift motorhome.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut

Mon, 20 May 2013

Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
