1980 Land Cruiser FJ40 with 5-Speed, PS, A/C and more
1980 – Pac Man is introduced. CNN becomes the first 24hrs News Station. Post-It Notes are invented”. Meanwhile,
Toyota Motors introduced its best Land Cruiser yet. For a half-century, over a million Land Cruisers have traversed
paths from the South Pole to the Sahara.
This 1980 FJ40 was restored by Cool Cruisers of Texas in 1996 and has been lovingly cared for and improved upon
continually ever since. She has some great upgrades I have outlined below. Painted in the factory 653 - Olive
Brown. This rig is mechanically and cosmetically 100%. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow.
I have three folders full of records going back to the early 90's documenting all expenditures on the truck. I
haven't added these up but I'm guessing it's over $50K!
Exterior / Mechanical
- Excellent body and frame. Recently received $3500 in paint and sheet metal work
- H55F (Toyota 5 speed transmission) conversion with new Tom Woods double cardan drive shaft. The truck will drive
at 70 MPH all day long with one hand on the wheel.
- Rides on new 33 10.50 15 BFG KM2 tires with brand new OEM wheels and hub caps.
- OME (old man emu) 2.5in suspension lift with new steering stabilizer and new Bilstein 5100 series shocks.
- Factory power steering
- Vintage air AC that will keep the you cool on hot summer days
- Both axles have been rebuilt by Independent 4X in Richmond, VA. This work was done within 4k miles ago. Has new
Warn premium hubs on the front.
- Rear axle has an ARB locker installed at the time or the rebuild/regear.
- Has the larger ARB compressor for airing up tires, etc. and was plumbed to the rear axle with an upgraded
stainless braided line, not the ARB blue plastic line.
- Rear axle has disc brake conversion.
- Front bumper is the HFS Cool Cruisers bumper and a freshly rebuilt/restored Warn 8274
- Custom door hinges that look factory for easy removal of two front doors.
- IPF halogen headlight upgrade
- Custom belly skid plate on underside.
Motor
In 2010, the engine had a burnt valve on cylinder 6 and the owner did a ton of work with the "while I'm in here"
mentality. The head was completely cleaned, milled and reworked with all new Toyota parts. Rebuilt the entire
cooling system to include all hoses with new full stainless hose clamps, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat. The
bottom end looked great so it didn't get pulled. Installed a brand new oil pan and magnetic drain plug. The motor
was desmogged by the previous owner. If you are familiar with the FJ40 Land Cruiser world, the work was completed
by a very knowledgeable specialist named Jim Chenoweth in Ohio. Jim also rebuilt the carb at that time. There is a
K&N air filter installed and an Optima Red Top provides electrical juice. The motor runs like a top.
Interior
- New CCOT front floor mat.
- Tuffy lockable center console with the stereo installed in it.
- Custom switch panel in original stereo for ARB locker and pump control as well as interior winch control
- Upgraded lights in dash board improves notoriously dim factory lights - You can now see the gauges at night.
- New shift boot on transfer case
- Front seats are OEM Style but far more very comfortable
Summary
Every bolt that has come out on this truck has been replaced with metric stainless. Countless hours removing
hardware to replace it with anti-seized stainless hardware. There are lots of little details that have been
completed on this truck, replacing all the gaskets under hinges and the hard top, new stainless latches, powder
coating, fuel filler cap, cigarette lighter, etc.

Recharge Wrap-up: Honda Grace hybrid goes on sale in Japan, Daimler spends 100M euros on batteries

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz S-500 Plug-In Hybrid has earned an Environmental Certificate from the TUV Sud technical inspection authority. The award is based on a lifecycle assessment of the vehicle. This includes the ability to reduce CO2 emissions by 43 percent through charging, and by 56 percent if charged using hydroelectricity. Read more in the press release below. Daimler is expanding its production capacity for lithium-ion batteries. The company is investing around 100 million euros in its subsidiary Deutsche ACCUmotive, who will provide batteries for the electric Smart Fortwo and Forfour, as well as various Mercedes-Benz models. By the end of the construction, Deutsche ACCUmotive will have quadrupled production and logistics space since 2011. Read more in the press release below. Honda has begun sales of its Grace hybrid sedan in Japan. The Grace is based on the Honda Fit and uses the automaker's Sport Hybrid i-DCD system. It comes in front- and four-wheel-drive versions and uses a seven-speed DCT with built-in motor. The Honda Grace starts at the equivalent of about $16,500. Read more in the press release below. Honda has begun operation of its wind farm in Brazil. The farm consists of nine wind turbines, expected to produce about 95,000 MWh of electricity per year, which is on par with Honda's consumption for automobile production in the country. Honda is aiming to cut its CO2 production by 30 percent by 2020 compared to 2000 levels. Read more in the press release below. Toyota has won the 2014 World Endurance Championship's Driver and Manufacturer categories with hybrid technology. Toyota celebrated the win after the final race in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Controlled Power Technologies and other groups are calling for an international 48-volt electrical standard for vehicles. The groups called for the standard at the International Conference Automotive 48 V Power Supply Systems, saying that the 48V standard for mild hybrids would help make the systems more affordable. This will make it easier for automakers to meet the more stringent CO2 standards anticipated in coming years along with the introduction of the World Light vehicles Test Procedures.

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Thu, Nov 18 2021

The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.

Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids

Mon, Jan 13 2014

Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.
