This did not sell the first time around but had a ton of interest. Since I don't see any other FJ45"s on the auction right now I'll give it one more try. I have lowered the reserve but please don't ask. I do reserve the right to end the auction early. 

 

Well my friends didn't think I would get rid of this but I don't use it enough to warrant keeping it. I bought this 4 years ago with the intention of adding lockers and heading for the Rubicon trail (my back yard) but this is to nice for me to slam into a rock so here we are.

I bought this from Scott at Eco Off Road, it was his daily driver. He had just finished a short bed with a B3.3 and a 5 speed. He had Proffit cruisers install the rebuilt axles, Cummins B3.3 (crate motor) and the TH475 automatic transmission some time around 2005.  It has later model fine spline axles with 3.73 gears, power brakes with front disc, Saginaw power steering, Toyota split transfer case, and 2.5" lift.

I added the Warn 8274 last year ($1500.00) and  5 new tires (33's). Spare wheel not an exact match of what's on truck but close enough. I also have pipe doors that go with the truck (great when you take the top off). New battery last week. Tool box lid is dented and key is broken off in lock so it stays locked all the time and I use a screwdriver to unlock. High lift jack stays with truck.

Truck was originally red and someone did a great job on the green paint. Some body filler in a couple of spots if you get out a magnet but not much and great for the age of the truck. Some places are a little faded but some wax will brighten it up. Drivers door has a hole cut on the inside to help get lower hinge bolts out. The original metal holder that held the nuts had rusted away. One bolt is broken off on the passenger door lower hinge. Wipers work but need replaced and the arm on the passenger side does not match correctly. Both door vents have been sealed closed since I bought it and the drivers door is missing the hardware. Heater box and hoses are rough but work well enough for California for I was planning to add vintage air some day.

Less than 10,000 miles on the motor (new crate) since installed. I do not have any idea of original mileage on the truck it's self.

If I was going to keep it I would get the fuel tank sealed. When filled up the seams get wet. No big deal because I use it so little so I have not done it. Both seats need repair or recovered at sometime also. I have not checked but I do not think it has a thermostat in it. Runs between 160 and 180 degrees on the flat with the electric fan off. On a long hill temp may rise to a little over 200 degrees before the fan kicks in then the temp goes down as you are going up hill. Great cooling system, aluminum radiator with dual fans. If I lived in a cooler area I would add the thermostat.

Glass has no cracks but there are some scratches. Windows roll up and down a little stiff.

Will cruise 65 all day long but will only get around 20mpg at that speed.  I get 22 to 24 mpg cruising around town.

I can send more pictures and take some more if needed.

Currently registered in California and is available for inspections. Please come take a look.

Bidders with less than 5 feedback please contact me before you bid or it will be removed.

 

Call 530/401-3552, text or email with any questions.

 

It runs great, drives great and will last somebody a very long time. This is not a trailer queen or a gussied up import just a great all around truck.

Just realized that cruiser fest is next month. If the buyer is interested after payment I can keep the FJ at my house and if you fly into Sacramento I'll pick you up take you to your truck so you can head to cruiser fest.

Had a couple of people ask about the stereo system. None, I find that singing is better for the soul. Dash is uncut, holes where old 4 wheel drive handle was and misc. from factory. Good places for toggles for added accessories in the future. Went to town this morning and remembered that the emergency brake is hooked up but needs adjustment. Right now it won't hold do-do.

 

Truck now shows 9750 miles as of 8/10/13.

JLR shares backstage 'No Time to Die' Range Rover Sport SVR carnage

Sat, Sep 18 2021

James Bond's latest adventures will take him to Norway and Scotland, as seen in the trailer for the upcoming "No Time to Die." Somewhere along the way, the British spy encounters a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs, the ultimate high-performance SUV from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations division in one of the movie's centerpiece car chases. Now, the company has given us a behind-the-scenes look at its filming, and the automotive carnage that ensues. The filmmakers wanted to take a Bond action sequence off-road, and chose the Range Rover Sport SVR as the the bad guys' pursuit vehicle. Armed with a JLR product placement deal (Bond drives a new Defender in another part of the movie) the henchmen had no qualms picking one of the most expensive things on the menu. Unfortunately, that also makes is a bit hard to watch when machines that start at $115,000 are totaled as they careen through the air or roll onto their roofs. The SVRs share a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with the Jaguar F-Type SVR and are the most powerful vehicles in the Land Rover portfolio. With 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, translating to a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, they're the perfect weapon for chasing a super-spy down a dirt road. As for Bond himself, 007 makes his escape in a decades-old yellow Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Specifically, it's a 90-series, a smaller version built from 1996 to 2002 that was never sold in the U.S. but remains popular in other parts of the world. The most powerful engine had just 190 horsepower from a 3.4 liter V6 shared with the similar-era 4Runner. Despite the power discrepancy, Bond manages to dispatch the Range Rovers in spectacular fashion. Wait, this is a Range Rover promo, right? "All the stunts are for real, there's nothing that's CGI'ed," said Neil Layton, the film's action vehicle coordinator. "So to make the cars more dramatic on the screen, we had to turn off a lot of safety feature aids that's on there." Interestingly, another non-JLR product shows up in the video as well. The camera car is a blacked out (to minimize reflection in other cars) Ford F-150 Raptor outfitted with a massive rooftop boom. "No Time to Die" is hits the screens on October 8.

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]

Fri, Nov 21 2014

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.

BMW could have a fuel cell vehicle by 2020

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The Ultimate Driving Machine may start emitting water vapor, which may not thrill gearheads but could be good for the environment. BMW may have a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle to sell as soon as the end of the decade, UK's Auto Express says, citing people familiar with the process that it didn't identify. And the model will likely be sold within the i sub-brand that includes the i3 electric vehicle and the i8 plug-in hybrid. "We are working on fuel cell development, but we are not able to comment on vehicle plans at this stage or timing at this point," BMW spokesman Dave Buchko wrote in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen on Thursday. Chatter about a potential BMW fuel-cell vehicle has been getting louder in recent months. Late last year, Autocar reported that BMW was mulling using Toyota's fuel-cell system for a version of what would be called the i5 (all the better to quietly cruise the interstate running up and down the West Coast, we guess). BMW and Toyota have been working together on accelerating the development of fuel-cell technology since 2013. Toyota has since made good on the effort of selling fuel-cell vehicles by introducing the Mirai in Japan last year and is preparing to start sales in California later this year. But BMW has been mum, so far.
