Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser 1981
I can’t begin to emphasize how excellent the condition is of the inside and out of this Fj40 . Not a screaming
fast, tear it up rig, but an unrivaled crawler in the outback. Never abused, it remains an icon of endurance, a
philosophy of engineering over-design, in this era of throwaway.
It is a very well maintained plug and play great running machine. With no hidden problems, this cruiser is ready
to go another 35 years. Starts, drives, and stops like new, as it should. The strength of this particular Fj40 is
how stock original and uncut it is. This cruiser has never been painted and is all there including the padded roll
bar,original dashpad with no cracks, plug in glove box light, original manuals, original touch-up paint, original
floormats with no holes or tears, crank up jack and tools, folding back seats, front seats that are in good
condition, heater console with cover and finally the original unmolested 6 cylinder high compression,
low-end-torque engine and its support hardware that was supplied when new in 1981. Original repair manuals for
engine, body and emissions are also included. Some manuals are in tattered condition but still usable. Under hood
emissions are there but not currently hooked up. The FJ also comes equipped with lockable front hubs, front disc
brakes,good tires, a classic safari roof rack, rear tow ball which is intended to tow and maneuver a small boat or
equivalent.
Cosmetically the detractors on this vehicle are the typical rust spots on the rear of the body. Since not
considered a structural problem, these “battle scars” were coated with rust stop and left as is.
The frame, springs, mounts and undercarriage are all in great condition. All front end steering linkage knuckles
were re-done not long ago as was replacement of the water pump.
If restoration is your goal you could add to this excellent original Fj40 foundation.

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried
Mon, 01 Jul 2013We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
