The last of a great breed, and one of the last 40-series
production units: this is my 1984 Australian FJ45 Troopy, VIN FJ45406186. Built
front to rear for expeditioning plus lots of goodness like a rebuilt engine, air conditioning,
power steering, upgraded alternator, new tires, full floater
axle and more. There are dozens of cool and new parts on the Troopy. I am detail oriented, so crack a beverage,
sit down, and read the full description. Built with input from 4WD Toyota Owner magazine, a publication solely for 4WD Toyota and Land Cruiser owners. Check them out online. 1984 model. Literally one of the final 40-series Land Cruisers to come off the production line, and in the extremely rare FJ45 Troop Carrier (Troopy) configuration. Super rare and super cool. Powerful 4.2L 2F engine, rebuilt less than 20,000 miles ago by HM Gem Australia. Runs great. Factory 12V system. The 2F means parts are readily available from US Toyota dealers and aftermarket companies. Has brand new spark plugs and wires, PS/alternator/water pump belts, clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder, installed by Torfab. New water pump, new fuel pump, new fuel filters (2) and new OME steering stabilizer. Brand new spare radiator/ water hoses included. 4-speed H41 transmission with factory granny low range gear. This FJ45 will climb a tree. Literally. The FJ45 runs on petrol or propane (LPG). I have run it on both. It is set to run petrol only currently. The Troopy has two, 40lb (9.4 gallon) propane tanks. A dash switch changes between petrol or propane. You can switch from one to the other on the fly. Propane burns cleanly, is cheap, and yes, the filler fitting works in the USA. Mileage on propane is around 230 miles total with both tanks filled. Factor in the main petrol fuel tank and you’ve got around a 500 mile total range! Dash gauge shows level of propane, too, plus there’s a gauge on the main tank too. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. Supremely rare! Compressor spins good, needs belt and re-gas. Factory power steering with rebuilt pump. Works great! Dual battery system. Backup battery is charged by the solar panel on roof (see pics) when engine is off. Brand new main battery from Costco. Upgraded to 150A alternator. Fully tinted windows. Proper large rear view mirrors. Note the original floor mat is in excellent condition. There's an external jump start Anderson plug at right rear corner, and cables are included. Flood and pencil beam spotlights on roof that work with high beams. Brand new 33” Goodyear Duratracs, including spare, on 16” wheels. Factory rear full floater axle (Aussie spec, USA only got semi-floaters). Front disc brakes, rear drums. All new front hardware upgraded to 4Runner units (bigger and better) by Torfab. Parking brake also fully rebuilt by Torfab. She’s a solid old girl, has various patches and bubbles of rust inside and out but no rot, and frame is fine. Overfill of fuel caused paint to flake below inlet. One tie rod end needs replacing. Blue Max shocks and springs, 2.5" lift. POP TOP ROOF TENT! Love this! No harsh wind resistance and not top-heavy like a normal rack mounted rooftop tent. Unlatch the latches, push it up and there is an upper floor with 4” foam mattress for comfortable sleeping for two! Canvas sides with screen windows that zip up. So awesome to not have to set up and tear down a ground tent! Interior/exterior: where to start? Full battery monitoring equipment, rear view camera (I’m keeping the viewscreen but camera stays), rear seats with seat belts, two 20-gallon water cans with powered pump and two outlets, one inlet is missing and common RV-style filter housing needs replaced, hot water shower outlet, fold down table with room for sink, mirror and light on side, 12V outlets, Kenwood stereo with iPod cable but won't turn on, trailer brake controller, heavy duty top-of-the-line voltage monitoring units and power inverter (see pics), interior LED lights, passenger map light on flexible stalk, upper storage shelf at windshield roofline, UHF radio, multiple cubby storage boxes and more. Rare factory digital clock and hand throttle. Large 65-quart capable sliding aluminum freezer/fridge platform comes with Troopy. (Note: EvaKool fridge seen in pics not included with sale, sorry.) You can fly in to Seatac, the Kitsap Airporter will take you direct to Gig Harbor and I will pick you up in the Troopy. Also happy to deliver to Tacoma area. I just got back from an expedition to SE Oregon in her, see pics. Truck is 30 years old, she's not perfect, needs attention here and there--it's a Land Cruiser! ‘Nuff said! Vehicle is sold “as is” with no expressed or implied warranties. Payment via cash or cashier’s check only drawn on a major bank. Clear Washington state title, will release on clearing of valid cashier's check or immediately with cash. I am a Cruiserhead with a small barn of Cruisers, and I’ve sold a few in the last year, see my 100% positive feedback for the HJ61, FJ45, HJ47 etc. Please feel free to ask questions and yes I welcome test drives and mechanic checkouts (you arrange for and pay for). Thank you and happy bidding for a rare and awesome FJ45! |

Cheap, honest transportation | 2017 Toyota Yaris iA
Fri, Mar 24 2017In The Love Bug, the main character (aside from Herbie) is a down-on-his-luck racing driver named Jim Douglas. Early on, he steps into an exotic car show room, and when the dealer asks him kind of car he's looking for, Douglas replies, "What do you have in the way of cheap, honest transportation?" The dealer quickly snatches his fancy liquor back from Douglas and soon after Herbie shows up from the back of the showroom. But if this happened today, you could easily replace the classic Beetle with a 2017 Toyota Yaris iA. The poor thing isn't nearly as endearing to look at as a classic Bug, as a result of the rather unattractive nose, and it's now using a second pseudonym (first Scion iA, then Toyota Yaris iA) to hide its Mazda heritage. However, everything else about it nails the description of cheap, honest transportation. And for that reason, it's a lovely little car. Let's start with honesty, and it begins from the minute you start equipping the car – the iA is a "what you see is what you get" proposition. You see, the iA moniker isn't the only holdover from the Scion era. The Toyota Yaris iA retains its "monospec" configuration, which means it comes with only one option: the transmission. Customers can choose from either a 6-speed manual like our test car, or a 6-speed automatic which costs $1,100. Everything else is standard, and "everything" includes some choice features. You get alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, USB and Bluetooth integration, a rear-view camera, tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and keyless entry with push-button start. Technically there are a number of dealer-installed accessories too, including your typical fare of mudguards, rear spoiler, cargo organizers, and such. However, none of them are really necessary, with one exception. For some odd reason, the Yaris iA does not come with a center armrest. It's a $195 accessory, and frankly it should be a standard feature because it's so useful. If you hadn't guessed, ours wasn't equipped with it. Everywhere else the iA is a thoroughly pleasant car, if not as sporty as the old Mazda2. The little 1.5-liter four-cylinder under the hood isn't particularly potent with 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. But with a Miata-like 2,385-pound curb weight and our car's manual transmission, it manages to feel fairly sprightly, and never has any trouble dicing it up with traffic. That transmission is pretty decent, too.
Toyota's production fuel cell car to cost between $50-100k
Fri, 03 May 2013
While the cost of building a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle continues to go down over time, reports over the last few years have steadily maintained that the first Toyota hydrogen-powered vehicles for customers should ring up for around $50,000. Company officials cited this figure way back in 2010, and have reiterated it in subsequent years.
So, while a recent Automotive News report about the cost of Toyota's 2015 Hydrogen car doesn't offer up any new figures, it does offer an interesting pricing wrinkle. According to the report, the "cost factor" for the hydrogen vehicles will be in the $50k ballpark, meaning the retail price could be anywhere from there, up to as much as around $100,000.
Toyota casts off in Ponam-31 motor yacht [w/video]
Sun, 12 Oct 2014Some Japanese automakers focus purely on cars, while others dabble in all sorts of motorized transportation. Honda, for example, makes everything from motorbikes to jet aircraft. But while Toyota may be known principally for automobiles, it also makes a line of boats. And this is the latest.
The new Toyota Ponam-31 motor yacht is built around an aluminum hull with a flybridge and cockpit rear deck layout, similar to the Carver 32 on which this writer spent his childhood summers. It measures 31 feet overall and is powered by a pair of 3.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines derived from the Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX 460) but marinized for nautical application. Toyota has even equipped its new Sports Utility Cruiser with such features as Drive Assist and a Virtual Anchor System.
Toyota expects to sell around 15 units of the Ponam-31 through its network of 49 dealers across Japan, with prices starting at 29,700,000 yen (about $27,500 at today's conversion rates). Scroll down below for a video, along with a press release, meant to show potential customers what's waiting for them.
