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! |

Toyota Tundra ditches V6 for 2015
Fri, 12 Sep 2014The Toyota Tundra debuted in new-ish form for the 2014 model year, but as we head into 2015, the truck boasts a couple of small updates. Most notably, the base V6 engine has been discontinued. On top of that, there's the new TRD Pro model on offer for 2015, which we've told you about before.
Why kill the V6? Simple - it was very low-volume. "The Tundra V6 take rate was significantly less than five percent," a Toyota spokesperson confirmed via email to Autoblog. So for 2015, the two V8 engine options remain - a 4.6-liter unit with 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque, or the more powerful 5.7-liter powerplant with 381 hp and 401 lb-ft. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive is standard. Four-wheel drive, of course, is available with either engine.
The only other noteworthy changes for 2015 include an optional integrated trailer brake for the 5.7-liter models, a new rear under-seat tray storage system for Double Cab trucks, and a spray-in bed-liner. Scroll down for the official press blast.
Toyota Prius gets higher clearance, better suspension in Pakistan
Thu, Jan 2 2014It's been 16 years since the Toyota Prius launched in Japan. Finally, the world's most popular hybrid is becoming the first hybrid car to show up in Pakistan. This version of the Prius has been customized by Indus Motor Company (IMC) in order to deal with, well, let's just say some challenging road conditions. IMC knows what it's doing, and has modified Toyota and Daihatsu vehicles for the Pakistani market for over 20 years. The Prius brings with it the iconic shape and Parvez Ghias, CEO of IMC, told The Technology Times that the car's arrival, "is indeed a great milestone, not only in the history of IMC, but, of the entire nation." Pakistan Today says that IMC is beefing up the ground clearance of the imported Priuses and adds a "robust suspension system." Why would this be important? Well, the US Department of State warns travelers to beware of crowded roads, aggressive and poorly trained drivers and bad roads that could include potholes and sharp drop-offs. Then there's the "donkeys, cattle, horse carts, and even the occasional camel [that] can pose roadside hazards in some areas." There's also the big problem of terrorism-related violence in Pakistan, but we haven't heard that the Pakistan Prius has been bullet- and shrapnel-proofed.
Toyota issues multiple recalls for 6.4 million vehicles worldwide
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It looks like 2014 may go down as the year of recalls. We were already at a record pace, and now it seems Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide, including about 30 of its models for a variety of problems. None of the faults have caused any injuries or fatalities, but there have been two reports of fires caused by a defective engine starter motor.
Toyota's numbers show 1.772 million vehicles being recalled in the US, but that includes some overlap because the Yaris is being repaired for multiple faults. According to The Detroit News, there are 2.36 million affected models in all of north North America, 1.09 million in Japan and 810,000 in Europe, plus smaller numbers in other regions.
Among the vehicles recalled in the US are 1.3 million units of the 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris. The problem is that the driver's airbag module is attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on the cable can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, which deactivates the airbag and causes the airbag warning light to come on. Toyota is replacing the cable with an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin the repair. The company is sending affected owners notifications in the mail. According to The Detroit News, an unspecified number of Pontiac Vibe vehicles are also included in this recall because it shares the part with the Matrix.
