1982 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, Black, Chevy 355, Auto Trans, Power Steering on 2040-cars
Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States
This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done. Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts. I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver. I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle. I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months. I did not drive it in the winter. This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle. If you have any questions, please ask. The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth. The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride. It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane. At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400. It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed. (new torque converter too) The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings. The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members. Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop. Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well. New: Engine/Trans Brake master cylinder New Saginaw steering gear retrofit Anti-Wrap / Traction Bar installed to protect pinion in High torque situations Fuel tank (poly) and sending unit New Cooper ST 33x12.5x15 tires (full size spare included) *May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones. *Pre purchase inspection and local pickup can be arranged. Buyer has full responsibility for setting up shipping and all expenses. Other arrangements can be discussed. $300 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hrs after auction ends. Balance due within 7 days of auction ending. Vehicle will not be released until all funds have been deposited and cleared by my bank. Clear and clean Michigan Title is available. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding. FJ is for sale locally as well. Thanks for looking. |

Toyota Recalling 1.67 Million Vehicles Worldwide
Wed, Oct 15 2014UPDATE: Toyota is now announcing specifically which models are covered under its fuel pipe recall in the US. The company is repairing about 423,000 Lexus models that include the 2007-2010 LS, 2006-2011 GS, 2006-2011 IS, 2010 IS C and 2008-2010 IS-F. The automaker says that it isn't aware of any fires, crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem. According to Toyota, the recall is because it's possible for the fuel delivery pipes and the fuel pressure sensor to form a bad seal with the gasket between them because of a protective coating protecting against corrosion on the pipes. It's possible for this to eventually cause a fuel leak, and obviously in a hot engine bay that's a potential fire risk. To fix the problem, dealers will replace the gasket and repair the gasket seating surface between the fuel delivery pipe and the fuel pressure sensor. The company will begin notifying owners soon. You can find the official press release, below. Toyota is issuing three separate recalls covering 1.67 million vehicles worldwide with most of those models in Japan. It looks like the campaigns' impact on the US may be smaller, though. According to Reuters, Toyota isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities affecting the models. Some yet-unnamed Lexus models might also be affected. The largest of the campaigns does not currently affect any US-market vehicles. About 802,000 units of the Toyota Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy in Japan are being repaired to replace a seal that could leak in the brake master cylinder. Those already leaking get a new brake booster, as well, according to Reuters. The only recall currently believed to affect the US is due to a problem covering approximately 759,000 vehicles with 423,000 of them here. The repair is to fix a faulty fuel delivery pipe that could cause a fire if the fuel leaks out. Unfortunately, we don't know which models it covers. Autoblog spoke to Toyota spokesperson Mona Richard and was told the information was still "under embargo." When exactly that embargo will lift isn't yet known, but we're on the case. Finally, Toyota is recalling 190,000 Corolla Rumion and Auris models in Japan for a faulty evaporative emission control unit. Autoblog is in contact with Toyota, and we'll update this story as soon as we know more about its affect on the US market.
Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.
Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.
