If you are looking for a TLC that is ready for off road, but a solid daily driver this is your truck.  This is a RARE car in that it started out rust free before the restoration.  This car has been lovingly restored and has never been owned by a kid nor has it been off road.  No diamond plate, no bondo, no rust-see photos of pan.  This truck was born in New Mexico where it spent its teenage years and adolescence, after which it was brought to California to bulk up a bit and get a makeover.  It has always been garaged here in California.

The motor was installed about three thousand miles ago and is a Man e Fre Hi Performance rebuild with the power pack.  All work was done by the professionals at Man e Fre.  Check the links below for the info and the review of the performance of the motor.  It is a great motor, tremendous torque and cruises at 65-70 at about 2500rpm.  The transmission is the Australian 5spd as described in the link below.  New Radiator.  Suspension was also upgraded with new shocks.  I cannot include the links, but go to Man e Fre's website and pull up: hi performance engines, power pack fj60, transmission and transfercase and reviews of the high performance 2f.  If you place man-e-fre.com in front of the following links, it should get you there.

I have all OEM parts that were replaced other than the long block and transmission.

The paint was done by a local shop and looks great.  White is the original color. There is no rust and only minor dings.  The paint was done about a year ago and has sustained no significant damage.  The photos are post my wash, not detailed and hasn't been waxed since it was painted.  There are a couple of cracks in the dash and the carpet is stained but otherwise OK.  No tears in the headliner and both dome lights work.  Light which illuminates the speedo has gone out, but other than that the electrical system is intact and working fine.  Headlights and turn signals fine, but water jets for wipers don't work.  Pump works, but probably some blockage. 

Recaros were installed about six months ago, but have the OEM seats available.  The center console is steel with a lock and two cupholders. 

Wheels are fj40 post '73 single piece, that have been sandblasted and powder coated black with a semi-gloss finish.  The caps are OEM from Toyota. 

This car was lovingly preserved in the high desert of New Mexico, which is why it is absolutely clean and rust free.  Check with Mike at Man a Fre and he will confirm it is one of the cleaner '60s that they have worked on.  The work has all been done by professionals and done properly.  This is a proper Landcruiser and priced accordingly.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
