If you are looking for a restored, high end custom built Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, you have just found it! This FJ
was professionally repaired using new sheet metal components (where needed) from Cool Cruisers of Texas.
Professionally installed and custom painted, interior has bed liner in black and New custom Mastercraft Baja seats
and a Tuffy center console. Everything on this build was completed in the last 2 ˝ years, many components were
replaced with new parts or rebuilt to perform like new. The truck has been driven very rarely since completion.
This is one of the more stunning FJs you will see. The Body is super straight. The Paint color is a 1978 Porsche
Green. The panels of this FJ were painted on the outside as well as the inside…giving a complete color change.
Both fenders & aprons, the hood, rear ambulance doors, etc. were removed from the tub when painted, as well as all
glass was removed. Re-assembly included stainless steel hardware. Mechanical upgrades include new battery, many
engine gaskets, belts, hoses, new starter, new alternator, new braking system, re-built factory power steering
system, new PS pump, complete new cooling system (including water pump, hoses, & heavy duty diesel radiator) the
fuel system (including removing tank to inspect and clean, new fuel pump & lines where applicable, re-built factory
original carburetor, etc). Drivetrain upgrades include WARN locking hubs, 4” suspension lift with all new leaf
springs & Biltein 5100 shock absorbers. The FJ40 has been re-geared to 4:88 with new ring and pinions and master
install kits, both axles have been completely gone through including front knuckle ball re-builds. The truck also
features stainless braided brake lines & all new power brake system front and rear. Other upgrades included new
U-joints in both drive shafts, all new suspension bushings, all new steering components, and all new fluids
throughout. In addition, this is a rare factory equipped power steering model, and the factory box has been
remanufactured The FJ40 is fitted with 17” ATX Slot simulated bead lock alloy wheels in satin black and Goodyear
Wrangler MT/R + Kevlar tires in a 35x12.50 R17 size. The axles have 1.5” wheel spacers to widen the track width
and make the stance look great Interior was kept very authentic and original where possible. Interior upgrades

provisions, new shoulder belts, bed liner floors, & Weather Tech rubber Floor Liners. In addition the hard top was
fitted with a new headliner. Body upgrades include sheet metal repairs and replacement on the back ˝ of the tub as
well as the back of the frame. New Factory Toyota lighting and emblems were used. New mirrors & Truck Light LED
headlights with high low beams were installed. PIAA multi-function front off road lighting is mounted to an ARB
front winch bumper (no winch yet, but will accommodate a WARN 8274). Many parts on this build are the beset
condition original Toyota parts we could find and the time. This is a very nicely restored and modified FJ40 that
is ready to drive. Truck has a current Virginia safety inspection, and is road worthy. The truck had a professional
front end alignment upon completion, This truck stops, steers, and drives great. A clear Virginia Title and
matching Factory VIN number on body and on frame. Receipts are available for all work performed with details for
the new owner. I am sure I am leaving some details of this restoration out, there has been so much work done to
this truck. As with any old car, there is certainly more that can or could have been done. I have taken this FJ40
as far as I am willing to go and now it is your turn to take the keys and make it yours.

Toyota recalls 337,000 RAV4s and HS250h models for tie rod failure
Thu, Sep 1 2016UPDATE: The post has been updated with additional information from NHTSA. The Basics: Toyota is recalling 337,000 2006-2011 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers built between October 31, 2005 and September 7, 2010 as well as 2010 model year Lexus HS250h cars built between July 6, 2009 and August 26, 2010. The Problem: When either an affected RAV4 or HS250h is given an alignment and the tie rod adjustment nut on the rear control arm isn't tightened properly, the threads on the tie rod can start to rust. If this happens, the nut may break off and throw off the alignment drastically and suddenly. This isn't a case of the car simply pulling to one side, either. This would seriously upset the balance of the car and could cause the driver to lose control and crash. This is also the third time these vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if this control arm issue has resulted in any injuries or deaths. Autoblog reached out to Toyota for more information, but a company representative told us that the company isn't able to discuss injuries or deaths caused by this issue (if any) at this time. Based on information from NHTSA documents, it does not appear that any crashes, injuries or deaths have been attributed to the defect addressed in the current recall. The Fix: The dealer will completely replace the rear suspension assemblies at no cost to the owner. The tie rods and nuts will also be coated in epoxy to prevent future rusting from occurring. According to Car and Driver, the previous recalls involved tightening nuts, coating decent tie rods in epoxy and completely replacing rusted ones. The car magazine reports that further complaints were filed and the company is now replacing all components regardless of condition. If you own one: Toyota will notify owners of affected cars by mail. Owners can also check whether their cars are affected by entering the VIN at safercar.gov/vin. Owners with questions can also reach Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987.

Toyota demos its TRD Pro Series line [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With a rich history of creating off-road worthy trucks and SUVs and a somewhat bland impression of its brand overall, Toyota has wisely created a line of TRD Pro Series vehicles to spice up its showrooms and newly engage customers. Debuting at this year's Chicago Auto Show before rolling into dealers this fall, the TRD-tuned vehicles include the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, all with added rough-road gear and amped-up looks.
The TRD Pro Series trucks might end up, in many cases, as lifestyle accessories for outdoorsy types, but that doesn't mean they're all show. TRD springs and Bilstein dampers are set up for off-road performance, while skid plates will protect the softish underbellies of these would-be rock-crawlers. The trio all get lifted over stock height, as well, with two-inch gains for the Tundra and Tacoma (lovingly referred to as "Taco Supreme" in the Toyota press release), and an inch-and-a-half rise for the 4Runner.
We detailed all of the changes to the Pro Series vehicles in our original announcement post, and you'll also find more granularity of information in the Toyota press release below. Before you dive in, however, be sure to take in our set of live, action-packed images from the Chicago Show floor.
Hyundai tops Toyota in annual CarMD Vehicle Health Index
Fri, 06 Dec 2013CarMD has released its third annual Vehicle Health Index, which for the 2013 tracked the frequency and cost of repairs for "check engine" problems of 119-million vehicles built between the 2003 and 2013 model years. For the first two years of the index, Toyota ranked at the top of the list, but this year's results see Hyundai moved to number one, pushing Toyota down a spot.
The Korean automaker's rise to the top has been "fueled by its low repair frequency," according to CarMD. Toyota is second to Hyundai in lowest repair frequency, but Toyotas also have the highest average cost of repair. (Interestingly, General Motors vehicles have the lowest average.) Both Toyota's and Hyundai's manufacturer "health" ratings suffered this year, but Toyota took a bigger hit, which also is what helped Hyundai achieve the top ranking.
While Hyundai is the top manufacturer in the index, the 2012 Toyota Camry is the top vehicle. The best-ranking Hyundai was the 2010 Elantra (behind three Nissan models and four Toyotas), which took the number eight spot. Hyundai has six other vehicles in the top 100.
