This is the FINEST FJ40 I have ever seen in my life which is why I bought it back in 2008. 


SERIOUS COLLECTORS READ ON.....

I have owned 5 LandCruisers and currently own four.  I have never seen an FJ40 in ABSOLUTE SHOWROOM CONDITION that is better than this one. 

AGAIN LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR - THIS IS A MUSEUM QUALITY 100% ORIGINAL FJ40.  Nothing has been cut, Americanized, or molested in this truck.   This truck is plated in Wisconsin as a "Collector" plate.   This means it is only legal for me to drive it to and from storage and to and from car shows.  During the summer months I would go get an ice cream with my wife on Sunday afternoons in it just to keep everything lubed and the battery charged.  Obviously it was stored in a climate controlled environment over the winters.  

In fact, speaking of car shows, this truck was accepted by the Iola Car Show in 2009 as one of 50 "Under the Tent" vehicles.  This was the year the show was titled "Imports and Foreigns".  Due to a family issue, I had to cancel and did not bring it to the show.  But the mere fact that it was accepted gives you an idea of the level of perfection of this vehicle.  

There are many very nice FJ40's out there that have been restored by excellent shops.  But this is the only one I have ever seen that was restored by a bona-fide Toyota Dealer!  I bought this from a dealership owner in Illinois in July of 2008.  I have driven it about 250 miles during the last 5 years.  I would be happy to discuss the dealer who restored it with you over the phone, I will even give you his number if you want. 

The pictures tell the story.  You could literally lick this vehicle in almost any spot without worry.  It is impeccable.  

RAREST OF THE RARE FACTORY PTO WINCH.....Check out the MINT AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL FACTORY PTO WINCH!!!!  Finding an FJ with a functioning and beautiful factory winch is like seeing a Sasquatch for crying out loud.   For the uninitiated, the FACTORY PTO WINCH is why this vehicle has three separate sticks on the floor.  One of the stick shifters diverts the transmission to the PTO.  Once that is done you go to first gear to deploy the winch line, and you go back to second gear to pull in the winch line.  As you can see, the winch line is coiled perfectly.  I only used it once to make sure it worked.  I let out about two feet of line and immediately pulled it in.  I did not want to ruin the perfect coiling on the winch spool. 

If you look closely you will notice the engine even has the required pollution control equipment under the hood.  Like I said, BONE STOCK. 

The only thing that I have ever had any issues with since buying the vehicle is that the transmission "weeps" a little bit after driving it.   Probably could be fixed by tightening the bolts but I didn't touch it for fear of over torquing.  

I have clear Wisconsin title to the vehicle and the mileage is listed as exempt.  This is because the truck came to the restorer from Canada.  The engine was completely redone by the restorer and runs perfectly.  

 Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS VEHICLE?  It is very simple.  I like to DRIVE my vehicles.  This vehicle is NOT a daily driver.  It is a Barrett Jackson level restoration and should be owned by a serious collector.  

You wont find one better than this one, maybe you will find one as nice, but not better.  

BUYER - THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE MY POSSESSION UNTIL I HAVE CERTIFIED GOOD FUNDS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT.  Also, I am a very busy person and I travel frequently.  Once you have paid for the truck I will accommodate your shipper in any way I can.  If I am traveling I can arrange to have my father in law meet you to ship the vehicle.  

Good luck and email me if you want to ask any questions.   My name is Dave.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Toyota issues stop sale on 6 key models over seat fabrics; recall possible? [UPDATE]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Toyota has issued a stop-sale order on six of its core models due to concerns about the flammability of certain seat fabrics. The issue rests not with the cloth and leather covers themselves, but with a piece of seat heater beneath them that fails to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flame retardancy.
There have been no reports of fires or injuries from the affected cars, which include some of Toyota's biggest volume sellers. 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Sienna models equipped with heated seats are included in the stop-sale, as are 2014 Tundra pickups and Corolla sedans. The exact number of vehicles with the non-compliant materials are still being tabulated, according to The Detroit Free Press.
According to a Toyota spokesman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, although it remains to be seen if a recall will be issued. Outside of a full recall, though, it's unclear how Toyota will deal with vehicles equipped with the flammable materials that have already found homes.
