Up for sale is my 1980 FJ40 Landcruiser. Lots of new parts and labor have been put into it including:

Complete body and paint restoration with $2,350.00 in receipts done by a professional.

Chevrolet 350 V8 conversion mated to the stock 4 speed Toyota transmission (flush just done)

Power steering conversion using a Toyota 4-Runner power steering parts

Rear disc brake conversion with an upgraded dual reservoir power brake booster

Line-X tub (black / interior)

Warn M 8000 professional (Made in USA) winch with remote

New HEI high output ignition with new wires and plugs.

 Heavy duty swing away tire carrier, holds two jerry cans, offroad accessories

Newer chrome rims with newer tires

New windshield and wipers

New custom front seats

Locking front storage container in cab (where stock dash pad would normally be)

Comes with new tow bar

Newer floor mats with sound proofing

Brand new (expensive) headliner

All bolts that I have had to take off to do work on the truck (about 60% or so) have been replaced with grade 8, stainless steel METRIC hardware. SO, working on this FJ only requires a metric tool set unless you are going to wrench on the Chevy V8. As you can tell, I am a bit OCD with the restoration and the accuracy of working on this Toyota. I have spent hundreds of dollars on just stainless steel bolts, lock washers, screws, etc. :)

These are things I can think of, many more things have been done. This cruiser (mechanically sound) drives great at 70mph. Clean clear title in hand. This is not a frame off restoration or show room quality, but is an awesome rig ready to hit the trail. I get lots of compliments.

 In some of the pictures the front turn signals were not installed, they are installed and working now.  The weather was nice that day I took the pictures, but hasn't been as nice since I put the blinkers on. :)

Toyota FJ40's increase in value by 4% a year (average). This FJ was toward the end of the years they imported FJ40's into the U.S. Approximately 3,000 1980 FJ40's were imported that year - in contrast LOTS more were sold other years.
1973......11,218........FJ40 / FJ55
1974.......8,204........FJ40 / FJ55
1975.......9,050........FJ40 / FJ55
1976.......9,236........FJ40 / FJ55
1977.......9,924........FJ40 / FJ55
1978.......8,858........FJ40 / FJ55
1979.......5,716........FJ40 / FJ55
1980.......3,058........FJ40 / FJ55

SO, this truck is very rare and in the condition it sits - it is even more rare. I have spent hundreds of hours on this vehicle and I am ready to start another project. 

I will help ship the vehicle to a great extent.  I will not pay, of course, but I will possibly drive the FJ up to 1000 miles from Reno to meet the buyer (please pay for gas). This FJ will travel across the US with no problems  :)  I just want a good home for my beloved FJ.  Please contact me through eBay with any questions.  I will be at the ready for the next week to respond. 

Also, I have NO RESERVE on my FJ.  Anyone that knows nice FJ40s knows what this truck is worth.  I have faith that the buyer will still find a good deal here on ebay with my FJ, but I will feel good about the sale price.  I am open to buy-it-nows, just ask.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

Toyota Recalling 516,000 Vehicles In Three Recalls

Thu, May 22 2014

Toyota said Thursday it's recalling 516,000 vehicles worldwide - including 430,500 in the U.S. - for three separate safety problems, including brakes that can activate without warning. The company said it has no reports of accidents or injuries due to the defects. In all three cases, the company will alert owners and dealers will repair the issues for free. The largest recall, of 450,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004-2011 model years, targets vehicles sold in cold weather areas. Toyota said road salt can corrode the spare tire carrier under the vehicle and the tire can fall off. Siennas from the 2004-2010 model years were for the same issue in 2010, and a splash protector and anti-rust protection were applied. But the company says the splash protector can fall off and rust can still occur. The recall involves 370,000 minivans sold in the U.S., 80,000 in Canada and 400 in Europe. Also recalled Thursday were: - 16,000 Lexus GS 250 and 350 sedans from the 2013 model year because a manufacturing defect can cause the brakes to activate without warning, and without turning on the brake lights. Most of the vehicles - 10,500 - were sold in the U.S. Also included are left-hand-drive sedans sold in Canada, China and Europe. - 50,000 Highlander and Highlander hybrid SUVs from the 2014 model year. Toyota says a software glitch may prevent the vehicle from properly calculating the size of the front passenger when determining whether to fire the air bags. The affected vehicles assume the passenger is smaller, so the bags may not fire or they may fire at a lower speed than necessary for a larger passenger. Toyota says most of the affected vehicles - 45,287 - were sold in the U.S. Around 3,400 were sold in Canada and the rest were sold in Mexico and Europe.

Toyota recalls 370k Sienna minivans, 10.5k Lexus GS models over separate issues

Thu, 22 May 2014

The year of the recall continues, but this time it isn't from General Motors. Toyota is announcing two, separate recalls affecting a pair of its models.
First, Toyota is recalling 370,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004 to 2011 model years that are registered or originally sold in cold-weather states. The problem is that the spare tire carrier assembly cable can be splashed by water contaminated with road salt and cause corrosion. There is a splashguard in place to prevent this, but it sometimes gets lost in "normal usage," according to the company. If the cable does break, then "the spare tire may separate from the vehicle."
This is actually the second repair for this problem for some of these vehicles. In 2010, Toyota issued a recall on 600,000 Siennas from the 1998 to 2010 model years. At the time, it installed a new splashguard and sprayed the area with an anti-rust chemical. However, according to Toyota spokesperson John Hanson speaking to Autoblog, the campaign worked for the 1998 to 2003 models but wasn't sufficient for the newer ones. For the latest recall, the vehicles are getting the entire cable replaced with a stainless steel unit and a new splashguard.
