1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Don't miss out on this one! I have owned this FJ for the past 10 years and it has
given me nothing but happiness and no problems. I will give a little history, at least what I know, and was told
when I purchased it. I bought this from a gentleman in the Atlanta, GA area back in 2006. He told me that this FJ
came from CA and was owned previously by a director or producer in the L.A. area. I have never researched this so I
can not confirm or deny this story. The previous owner had it painted the Olive Brown color that it is today along
with the black undercarriage. This FJ was originally light blue. There is no rust or body filler on the body that I
can find which tells me this truck came from the west. So the CA story may be true. The fenders, wheel wells, floor
pans, ambulance doors and rear sill are all solid as you can also see in the pictures. This is a solid reliable
vehicle that has not been molested as you can see by the pictures. Over the years I have repaired anything that
needed attention and also added the OME suspension. A perfect candidate to keep driving as I have been doing or a
clean slate for a restoration. It always starts right up and shifts through the gears smoothly. The 4WD works as it
should and this thing is almost unstoppable in low range 4WD. Some other features of this FJ are listed below;

Garage kept while in my ownership
Original 4.2 liter straight six engine
Original emission controls
4 speed transmission
New front disc brakes
Rear drum brakes
Air conditioner. Toyota compressor and different blower unit.
Old Man EMU front and rear springs, shocks and steering stabilizer.
Front winch with remote.
Gauges work as they should.
Engine compression last time I checked (about a year ago) ranged from 145-147 per cylinder
New brake master cylinder and fluid flush.
Fresh oil change and radiator flush.
Stereo with amp and 2 rear speakers attached to roll bar. Aux cord to play tunes from your phone.
Locking center console which is nice when you take the top off.

Toyota Camry Hybrid SE adds a dash of limited-edition sport

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

For drivers who want to benefit from the increased efficiency of a hybrid sedan but who don't want to look like they'd rather be hugging trees, Toyota has just announced its 2014.5 Camry Hybrid SE Limited Edition.
The SE LTD combines the exterior bits and pieces that make the SE look sportier than other Camry models with the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, electric motor and nickel metal hydride battery pack of the Camry Hybrid. That means the Hybrid SE offers up 200 combined system horsepower to the front wheels, and we'd expect it to be rated at the same 40 miles per gallon city and 38 highway of the Camry XLE Hybrid.
Only 5,000 units will be produced between February and June of 2014, with an asking price of $27,845, which is about $700 more expensive than the base Camry Hybrid LE or $2,620 less than the Hybrid XLE that Toyota says shares a similar level of equipment. Sounds like a fair shake to us. Scroll down below for the complete press release.

Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan

Sat, 12 May 2012

Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.
