Tampa, Florida, United States

Update 7/22/2014. Truck just cleared Colombian inspections now and is scheduled to ship on the freighter Friday with estimated arrival July 31, 2014. Truck then will need to clear US customs in the following week and ship one day to Tampa. Estimating August 7th through the 10th. $5000 deposit holds this truck for your inspection. 

Truck is a 1982 not a 1980.  Truck is in a container being shipped into Tampa, Florida arriving around August 10, 2014.  The truck will be titled in Florida or can be titled in the buyer's state.  Truck has no emissions equipment like the USA models for 1982 so we will need to confirm your state's regulations. Most regulations have a model year waiver.

The VIN number will be the chassis number which is FJ40359271. 

Volcan 4x4, LLC based in Tampa, FL and Medellin, Colombia brings this very exciting truck to the US market. The truck is named Pacho. This is a rare late model 1982 FJ40. 

Approximately 700 FJ40s were imported into the US in 1982 making this a collectable truck.

We sourced this truck from an airline pilot who upgraded the truck and kept it garaged. 

This truck has thousands of dollars in accessories and upgrades. Volcan 4x4 then spent 30 days overhauling what was already a very clean truck. 

This truck has:

4 inch Rough Country lift kit with gas charged shocks
5 90% tread 285/75/16 mud tires (33 inch tires)
5 black alloy rims
new AISIN hubs
4 speed H41 transmission with 4.10 gears (Colombian spec)
vent windows
7 passenger layout with newer vinyl. door panels are new.
custom roll bar
working AC
pioneer stereo with new speakers
power windows
performance header and brand new oversized exhaust with stainless steel muffler
custom bumper with WARN winch
Reese hitch
newer battery
4 drum brakes (recently reviewed)
power steering with custom leather covered steering wheel
custom fitted vinyl floor mats with new insulation up front
floors rust free and recently textured painted in beige
new rear half doors
2 coats of new black protective paint under the truck

This truck starts immediately and sounds fantastic with the header and exhaust. Not too loud but powerful. This is the most powerful and quickest truck in our fleet. This Pacho powers up the local 8000 foot Colombian highway in 3rd gear where the other trucks had to drop to 2nd. Steers straight and stops well. The ride is tight/hard due to the lift kit. 

Truck will be sold mileage exempt via Florida law due to the model year but given some Colombian documents and working odometer looks to be 176,000 miles.

The paint is very nice in original code Dune Beige. It has a touch of pearl white in it. There is a slight scratch on the driver's side but overall very clean. Painted black under the fenders.

Very handsome truck gets a LOT of attention. 

Compression test was in the 120 range. This truck outperforms another truck that we had in the 150 range. Very strong motor.

A $5000 refundable deposit to Volcan 4x4, LLC secures this truck until it arrives in Tampa. Truck is priced aggressively in the market at $35,900. This is our 5th truck since we started Volcan 4x4 and we price the trucks to sell quickly before or within 30 days once they reach the US.  We have the advantage of being able to pick among very nice rust free Colombian FJs. This is a fantastic late model lifted FJ40.

Why Lexus shies away from plug-in hybrids

Mon, Apr 20 2015

Lexus may have softened its stance a bit from the anti plug-in vehicle ads the Toyota luxury badge ran last year, but at least one executive from the company casts a pretty critical eye towards the concept as a way to cut both emissions and refueling costs. In fact, Lexus doesn't really buy the fact that buyers of plug-in hybrids are really looking to save both gas and the environment, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview at the recent New York Auto Show with Lexus executive Mark Templin. Templin also said hydrogen fuel-cell technology may be a better way to edge towards zero emissions. Templin decried plug-in hybrid technology because it adds weight to vehicles, which contributes to poor emissions figures in the process. He added that plug-in vehicle buyers are motivated more by potential tax credits and solo driving rights in high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes than cutting back on fuel use. Last summer, Lexus ran an supposedly tongue-in-cheek print ad poking fun at how long it takes to charge a plug-in vehicle and how using air conditioning can shorten a car's charging range. Last spring, Lexus had to backpedal from an anti-electric ad it ran that had serious mistakes about hydrogen infrastructure. News Source: Green Car Reports Green Lexus Toyota Hybrid PHEV

Toyota celebrates 30 years of 4Runner with... incentives?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Many Americans view their 30th birthdays as significant milestones, even though the average life expectancy here is more than 2.5 times that age. So you might think Toyota would be keen to party over the 30th anniversary of its 4Runner, since most models don't even live to half that age. You can put that idea away unless you consider discounts of $500 to $1,000 something worthy of cake and kazoos, since it appears that's all the birthday SUV will get. That's right, not even a trim-and-tape special edition or so much as a sticker. We asked Toyota for comment and were told they had "No other 30th anniversary 4Runner items to announce at the time."
So, about those incentives: they climb from $500 on the SR5 and Trail editions to $750 on Premium models and $1,000 on the Limited trims. Toyota says they're available at dealerships now and will last for the entire year. There's a press release below with a little more background, and there's a sad violin playing somewhere in the distance.
Disappointed, party of one, your table is now ready...

Toyota Harrier gets a whale of a facelift [w/video]

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX - at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically. That appears to be changing with this just-revealed new generation at the Tokyo Motor Show.
That's because this two-row, five-seat Toyota is in possession of a bold new look, dominated by a jutting, baleen-like grille edged in chrome, along with new headlamps and fascia. The greenhouse has likewise been revamped and gotten more pointed at the rump, which has new taillights, a resurfaced tailgate and a faux rear diffuser. Were it to be ported over to North American Lexus dealers intact, the Harrier's look would be jarring in light of the brand's spindle-grille-based design language, so we suspect that if the RX gets any of these updates (it was just refreshed for 2013), it will strike out on a different path visually.
Unlike the US RX, the new Harrier will rely on smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines, namely a 2.0-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission or a 2.5-liter four backed up by an electric motor. We'd like to see a smaller-displacement option for the US RX (it presently runs with 3.5-liter V6 engines in both gas-only and hybrid guise), but suspect it won't arrive until the next all-new model.
