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.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.
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.
First 2014 Toyota Corolla commercial dances through time
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Despite the fact that the Toyota Corolla pretty much sells itself, the eleventh-generation 2014 model is getting a huge marketing push that aims to appeal to both Millennials (of course), as well as the older generations that have lived with the stalwart Japanese compact for decades. The first television advertising spot, called, "Style Never Goes Out of Style," shows that the Corolla has had a place in mainstream culture since its launch in the 1960s. We have to admit, it's pretty cool to see older models from the '60s, '70s and '80s come out to play for this commercial, especially the latter of those, as it gives us enthusiasts fond memories of the infamous AE86.
The whole web/broadcast/print/social media marketing campaign surrounding the 2014 Corolla is called "Elevate," because, according to Toyota:
Extensive market research shows that Millennials are looking to take their career to the next level and are looking to buy their first 'real' car to get them there. The design of the all-new Corolla is significantly elevated from the previous generations, creating a more dynamic and desirable image for the Corolla nameplate that will appeal to these younger buyers.
