Up for auction is a very well built 1997 FZJ80. 81,000 miles on vehicle (98,000 on engine) There is so much to list about this vehicle but I will try my best.
Upgrades Include: - GM Vortec 6.0L V8 (98,000 miles) - GM Automatic Transmission (rebuilt 07/14) - Original transfer case which retains the full time 4WD - Advance Adapters transmission to transfer case adapter - Howell Engine Performance Computer & Wiring Harness - Spahl Electric fans - Factory Electric Locking Differentials (front and rear) - Slee 4" Lift - ARB Bullbar - Warn 9.5xp winch - Slee Rear Bumper - Slee Sliders - Viair 450c onboard air compressor - 4.88 gears - 35" BFG Mud Terrains - Hi-Lift Jack - Custom Louvered Hood (very cool and one of a kind) - 4 wheel high performance vented rotors and ceramic brake pads - Optima Red Top battery - Cold AC - Etc History: This 80 series was built to run the high mountain passes in Colorado and to run the mild to medium desert trails around Moab. This truck was professionally built by Proffitt's Cruisers out of Austin, Colorado in 2007 and 2008. Proffitt's Cruisers was an exclusive Toyota Land Cruiser restoration and modification shop that did top notch work. All upgrades except for the engine conversion were done in 2007 at 58K original miles. In 2008, more power was desired so the engine conversion was done at 65K original miles. A low mileage 6.0L Vortec was installed (not as low miles as the original six but with only 17K miles more than original engine). Condition: The truck looks like it has 81K miles on it. This is not a 200K+ mile truck that has a trashed interior and beat up exterior and then converted to a V8. The front driver's seat is not torn and shows very little wear; indicative of a low mileage vehicle. Aside from a few dirty spots, the interior is in really great shape. The exterior shows a couple of small dings here and there. The worst being in the driver's side door which occurred in the Summer of 2013 with the Hi-Lift jack trying to get out of a snow bank. The exterior also shows a bit of "trail pin striping" here and there. The pin striping might be buffed out with some effort. It's never bothered me so I didn't worry about it. Also, there is no rust on this truck. Drivability: To be quite honest, this truck gets up and goes and this is the way Toyota should have made these incredible vehicles. The in-line 6 is a great motor, but the V8 is awesome! It has plenty of power to get you into and out of traffic and it has low end torque for running trails. The vehicle runs great, shifts smooth, and is a nice all-around driver. 15K miles have been put on this truck since the conversion. Over $40K has been invested into this Cruiser. It's a great car but I don't use it. It has done most of the Colorado high mountain passes and mild to medium trails around Moab with ease. It has never been "wheeled" and it is well taken care of. It does not leak a drop of anything anywhere. The front axles seals are clean and don't leak. This car brings a lot of attention due to its condition. It draws even more attention when people hear the low rumble of a throaty V8 under the hood. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind, well built, ready to roll 80 series, then this one may be for you. If you are looking for an all original grocery getter soccer mom car, then this is not the right one for you; keep looking. The Little Stuff: Here are a couple of things that a potential buyer needs to be aware of: 1) There are no emissions on this vehicle. Here on the Western Slope of Colorado, we don't require them so it didn't need it. If you live in an area where you have emissions testing, then you may have to modify the vehicle for your needs. I have no idea what this entails and I highly suggest you contact someone BEFORE you bid and/or commit to buying the vehicle. 2) There is no cruise control. The original system might be able to be hooked back up or an aftermarket system installed. I have never needed it so it doesn't bother me. 3) The airbag light is on the dash. I always assumed this was due to the engine modification. I have no idea if the air bags are still operational or not.... I've never hit anything to test them out. I have tried to explain this vehicle to the best of my knowledge. I highly recommend that you ask questions as surely, I have forgotten something. You can reach me at 970-379-8568. If I don't answer, please leave a message and I will call you back at my earliest convenience. I have listed this vehicle with a buy-it-now price of $25K which is a fraction of what was put into it. Trust me; you will not be able to professionally build this type of vehicle for anywhere close to that price. The reserve is a little lower than the buy-it-now. If it doesn't sell the first time around, I will keep re-listing until it does. It is located in Carbondale, CO 81623. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. I have worked with an auto shipping broker and she is great to work with. I will pass her information on to any interested buyer. Again, please ask questions and Thanks for looking. |

Scion testing updated FR-S
Thu, Sep 17 2015It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
The real reason automakers are giving away free hydrogen
Wed, Nov 19 2014Just like Hyundai did with its Tucson fuel cell, Toyota is offering free hydrogen fuel with the $57,500 Mirai H2 sedan. Toyota is being a bit vague about the details, saying simply that Mirai drivers will get, "complimentary hydrogen fuel for up to three years." Turns out, the reason that the hydrogen avant-garde will not be paying anything at the pump isn't because the automakers want to give them a boost or because the OEMs are kind. Instead, it's simply impossible to accurately charge people for hydrogen right now. It's simply impossible to accurately charge people for hydrogen right now. At an in-depth hydrogen seminar this week as part of the Mirai preview, three representatives from various hydrogen organizations revealed that the current hydrogen stations (most of which are in California) are not set up to accurately measure the hydrogen that is dispensed. Without this little bit of information, you can't charge customers for the fuel they use. Toyota is well aware of this, and Toyota Motor Sales' national manager of environmental, safety and quality communications, John Hanson, said that, "There are no set standards, so there is no way to charge people for anything." Alberto Ayala, the deputy executive officer for the California Air Resources Board, said CARB is in the middle of developing a way to sell a given amount of hydrogen, "which up to this point doesn't exist. If you think about it, it's a real simple yet real practical challenge. If you're going to pay for X amount of hydrogen, you're actually getting that amount of hydrogen." Ayala said it's not a difficult technical problem to measure the hydrogen as it goes into the car, but "we just have not done it. We are at a point where we are solving multiple remaining questions [with hydrogen infrastructure], and that just happens to be one of them." The National Institute of Standards and Technology says that there has been a discussion to change the current tolerance of two percent up to 10 or 20 percent, but that new technology should be able to measure accurately to within one percent. Air Liquide is working with Toyota to launch the Mirai in the US and Air Liquide CEO Ole Hofelmann told AutoblogGreen that being able to charge customers will be key to the technology's success. "We need to make sure we accurately measure the gas," he said.
