1980 FJ-40. With A/C. The date of construction is May 1980. This was a Texas truck formerly owned by a charter
member of Lone Star Land Cruisers and the former owner of the Zebranator (1975 FJ-40). If you have wanted the real
LandCruiser, this is your truck. Here is a description of its many features.
Body:
I purchased this beauty in 2008. Since that time, I have continued to improve on the previous owner’s work. She
was garaged for long periods while I was stationed overseas.
I added:
~ New radiator, battery~ BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 33x10.50 – 15s~ Excellent and comfortable bucket seats.
From the previous owner in 2008:
This was a frame on restoration ~ The first step was to remove all fixtures in the interior, repair and replace any
defective metal, rust with new metal. New parts when available from Toyota were used as well as body parts from
Cool Cruisers of Texas. The hood was brand new. The quarter panels were new, the fenders were new, the passenger
floor pan was new, the front bib and clip were also new.
~ The interior was painted with POR-15 (Paint Over Rust) to prevent and protect the body from future corrosion.
Next they covered the interior with Rhino Lining to give the interior more protection as well as that cool look
that Rhino Lining gives a trail truck.
~ They then painted the underbody of the truck with POR-15. ~ The entire exterior was sanded down and repainted red
~ All badges on the truck were replaced with OEM badges; all lenses on the lights were replaced; Hella H-4 halogen
headlights were added as well as Hella halogen fog lights. Both the front and rear jump seats were replaced
(Specter Off Road)
~ The roll cage, the heater, and the rear jump seats were sand blasted and powder coated.
~ A “Hell For Stout” front bumper from Cool Cruisers of Texas replaced the front bumper. It is ready for a
winch if desired. There are two tow rings on the bumper
~ A rear trailer hitch for towing is on the rear bumper.
~ OEM rubber door seals (weather-stripping) for the roof, the front doors, and ambulance doors
~ Off Road style OEM side mirrors were added plus I have the original side mirrors.
~ One Pakistani rear half tail gate and hardware. You can replace the ambulance doors with this drop down tail
gate. The Pakistani model is a copy of the rare old style Toyota rear FJ-40 tailgate.
~ Two Specter Off Road fiber glass half doors - Take the top off, add the half doors and the tailgate and you will
have that look only available with a FJ-40.
~ Roof head liner has a small but easily repaired tear.
~ Dash screw knobs, gear shift boots, sun visors, hood hooks and pads, windshield squirter ~ OEM windshield wiper
motor
~ OEM seatbelt receiver, seatbelts for rear jump seats. ~ Simpson 4 point off road seatbelts ~ Fire extinguisher ~
OEM Bottle Jack with OEM tire tools, all were sandblasted and powder coated in black. ~ Sand Blasted and powder
coated roll cage, replaced rubber head protectors on roll cage.
Engine and Transmission:
~This Cruiser has a fire breathing 2-F engine (that was rebuilt 17,000 miles ago). The compression is perfect; this
motor is stout.
~ Man A Fre Headers ~ Weber 38-38 carb with special Weber air cleaner ~ A rare H-55F 5 speed transmission with a
split transfer case. This transmission with a lower first gear and an overdrive gear was never sold in the USA. It
was purchased it from Man A Fre who rebuilt it and imported it from Australia.
~ Toyota Power Steering, with pump. Bracket made by CCOT. ~ A 4.11 rear end
~ Lock Rite rear locker
~ HEI distributor with a Toyota gear. The HEI really boosted the horsepower; and performance of the motor versus
the stock Toyota distributor. You are ready for fuel injection should you choose to go that route in the future. We
replaced all plug wires and plugs and the truck was recently tuned for peak performance.
~ OEM Master Cylinder, Clutch Master Cylinder and slave cylinder ~ New OEM fuel pump and fuel filter
~ FJ-60 High Output alternator that has been rewound by Specter Off Road for increased amps and voltage
~ OEM water pump ~ OEM horn ~ U-joints Tires and Misc.
~ Old Man Emu springs, shocks, and steering stabilizers – 2 to 3 inches of lift
~ Greasable shackels
~ Fender Flares are from Specter Off Road ~ Tuffy Center Console ~ New locks and keys for front and rear doors. ~
Bikini top with rails.

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F
Thu, Sep 10 2015The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
