1974 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 -- an original off road machine!
Electronic Fuel Injected Chevy 350 V8, Auto Transmission, Front Disc Brakes, Front/Rear Lockers, Power Steering, Roll cage, SOA lift, Super Swampers, & much more!!
It spent the first 30 years in sunny rust - free California before I bought her in 2004. I've kept it garaged in Texas ever since. I bought this FJ as a project and have spent a decade putting it together the right way and making sure everything works. It's the perfect combination of power, EFI reliability, smooth steering, excellent braking, and awesome-ness! You won't believe that a 1974 truck this size can drive, stop, and steer this well.
It runs like a champ and can go anywhere. She's conquered Moab, the Rubicon trail, Katemcy Rocks, Barnwell, and a ton of places in between. Hear it run: A cold start: The Details - DRIVETRAIN: Engine Chevy 350 converted to TBI (throttle body injection) – runs great and starts first time. Fuel injected TBI conversion by “Affordable fuel injection” with optional ALDL computer port for diagnostics and “check engine” light tied into the ECM that can be used to pull trouble codes – on dash next to ARB switch see pics. TBI completely rebuilt 11/2013, gas tank removed/cleaned, new fuel pump/filter/FI lines. Tuned up 08/2013 with: new ecm, plugs, wires, rotor, ignition coil, vacuum lines High output - 200 amp Alternator Cooling 3 Core
Aluminum Radiator with 2 speed high-CFM Ford Electric Fan (Taurus) High
flow aluminum water pump Transmission/Transfer Case 700R4
Automatic transmission with remote mount transmission cooler – shifts great, no
slipping Previous owner installed a tab for the reverse lights that prevents the linkage from shifting into park. I keep the parking brake well adjusted and have always set it with the Land Cruiser in neutral without any problems. Toyota
4 Speed Transfer Case Advanced Adapters – 700R4 transmission to Toyota transfer case adapter JTO T-Case saver – Gusset plate to strengthen transfer case housing Steering/Suspension Power Steering conversion (Saginaw) with brand new gear box – super smooth turning Steering Stabilizer Spring Over Axle (SOA) lift with extended heavy duty shackles (sits about 7 inches taller thanstock FJ40), rides great on road and has incredible flex off road All new tire rod/relay rod ends For an FJ40 this size it drives straight and stops on a dime Has 5 Massive Super Swampers – 35 x 15 x 15!! On 15 x 10 black steel wheels. Custom full size spare mount on rear. Axles/Brakes Toyota
Axles with 4:10 gears, front disc brakes, front/rear lockers ARB front air locker with dash mounted switch, & Powertank CO2 Supply Tank – excellent 100% “on-demand” traction with open differential when off Powertrax Lock-Right fully automatic rear locker – incredibly reliable traction off-road with impressive on-road characteristics. Automatically disengages when turning with minimal noise. Truthfully, you don’t even notice it until you need it – then it’s perfect traction. Disc Brake conversion on front axle. New Larger/stronger brake booster (T100) – see pics New Master cylinder upgrade (FJ80) – see pics STOPS LIKE CHAMP! Interior/Exterior/Electrical Recaro Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses. Driver’s seat adjusts front to back, passenger’s seat is fixed Full Roll Cage Entire tub is Bed Lined, as well as, roll cage, wheel wells, front fenders, diamond plate rear corner guards & front/rear bumpers Newer style
front windshield (1978) with electric wipers instead of older vacuum style Newer style
(1975-1981) FJ40 Turn Signals (gives it the “signature FJ40” look) All lights, turn signals, brake lights work – except reverse lights Factory lower rear metal half doors – does not have upper rear hatch These are not installed because the spare tire mount sits there ISSUES There are, currently, no known mechanical problems with this cruiser. It runs, drives, stops, and steers like it should. The reverse lights don't work and I've never messed with them b/c it passes TX inspection without them. The speedometer works, but I cannot verify it's accuracy with the tires/lift/gears/etc. The odometer stopped at 95,999 long before I got it. I just repaired the sending unit for the gas tank b/c it always showed 1/2 tank when low - I haven't filled it back up to make sure it's working yet. It has aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges that work well. I've replaced any leaking gaskets over the years and as of now everything is dry underneath. The gaskets do require occasional replacing and you'll know it's time by any drips. If the winning bidder is interested, I can
include a full Hard Top with glass and both factory front doors – from a donor FJ40
– they’ve never been installed on this Landcruiser and need a bit of TLC to
restore them. I never pursued them because I think it looks better without the
top/doors. This Landcruiser runs/drives great and is a beast of a
truck. I’m moving out of state and can’t take an extra vehicle, so I’ve got to
let her go. For a cruiser this size, it drives very straight, stops on a
dime, and turns with minimal effort. It’s taken years to work the bugs of
steering, driving, stopping – but this one’s got the right combination! The
body/chassis are in great shape, but it has been used for the reason it was
built. As such, there are little dings and nicks here and there. This has been
a labor of love, as you can see from the build list and pictures. I’ve treated
her gently and never hammered that V8 through the drive train at full bore, as
a result I’ve never had major breakage and everything has held up well. It is still a 40 year old vehicle and, although well cared for, will require attention from time to time. If you’re looking for a beauty pageant winner, this isn’t
it. However, if you’d like an awesome FJ40 that can go anywhere without the
iconic $100k price tag, then you’ve found it! |

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.
2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
