You are bidding on a fully restored 1964 FJ40L. Everything meticulously restored back to original including rare and often forgotten parts. I restore cars. I lovingly restored this land cruiser and utilized all of the correct parts during this restoration.

Jack? Got it. With hardware under back seat as well.
The correct seat covers? You bet. They look fantastic.
Does your FJ have the covers for the rear tailgate chains? Mine does, and in the correct and matching material.
Door Safety straps, check.
Hubcaps and the correct wheels/tires? Check.
Glass bowl early Toyota carb? You bet!
Oil bath air cleaner as well as oil filter canister, often very difficult to find - CHECK.
Correct plated hardware used, full set of correct zinc plated nuts and bolts.
Dealer installed heater option, fully restored in correct color with correct label.
The correctly sourced rubber for the steps, which look amazing - check.
Glass bowl fuel filter.
Have the correct 3 on the tree drive train. Transfer case rebuild. Everything works as it should.
I had a complete custom AND PERIOD CORRECT wiring harness made for this car. All new wiring that is factory correct with original fuse block. Amazing work by an artisan. Only non stock item in wiring is added trailer light provision built in. Again, every had a 50 year old vehicle with new and perfect original wiring? This one has it.
Original Generator and old school starter, works GREAT.
Frame media blasted and powdercoated.
All new suspension and steering items such as ball joints, shocks and new poly bushings for cab to frame mounting

Please view the photos, you can also view the restoration progress where I was working with the FJ community to get it right.

Full disclosure. I am honest. What I describe below is what I consider either a deviation from complete bone stock (intentionally) or a known minor issue. This is it!

I decided to put disc brakes up front. Wilwood set up with a custom Geo Metro booster and Wilwood proportioning valve installed. Seemed safe and prudent.
When reinstalling the windshield after paint, with new rubber, the installer cracked the windshield. It is vertical and you have to work hard to see it, not worth fixing. You cannot see it in photos and I have never had a passenger notice!
I never could find the knob for the windshield vent.
I bolted an aftermarket 2" hitch receiver to rear bumper, all factory holes. Also wired for trailer.
I replaced the points with a Pertronix electronic ignition, more reliable and hidden. Still OEM distributor with vacuum advance and octane adjustment!
I have the correct windows for the soft top doors, but they are fiddly to stay up. I think this is as they were originally.
I do not have the hand throttle cable connected. (the one on dash)
I added a Toyota radiator overflow bottle. Looks the part but also makes rig more reliable.
Sometimes (rarely) the starter bendix doesn't engage, retry will work. This is the original starter and there is no way I am putting a new one in there.
I added a period valve to shut off coolant to the interior heater. Looks great and on warm days keep the heater core from warming up.

The pictures here show some of the progress DURING the restoration as well as the final product.

Please email me if you have any questions.

Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.

Manga stylized Toyota Aygo takes on Godzilla

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Japan has given the world so much to enthuse over. We're not sure the Toyota Aygo is necessarily one of them as much as, say, the Scion FR-S or Lexus LFA (especially since it's actually made in Europe), but for many Nipponophiles, the centuries-old artistic discipline of Manga certainly is. And now the two have come together in this two-and-a-half-minute animated short.
In Toyota's own take on the classic narrative, an Aygo animated by celebrated artist Sonia Leong takes on Godzilla. As in, a giant lizard rampaging through a Japanese city, not the Nissan GT-R, against which the little Toyota would certainly stand even less of a chance by any metric other than affordability, fuel economy or ability to park in tight spots.
In any case, watch this Manga-fied video above, and feel free to read through the related press release below.

Toyota CamRally is vanilla spiced

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

We weren't quite sure it was possible, but NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman and the other folks behind this Toyota Dream Build Challenge vehicle (check out the other cars in the challenge) have made the Camry, a versatile but vanilla family sedan, into a performance car to be reckoned with. And by stripping it (literally) of its versatility and injecting some spice into it, this rally-spec Camry does indeed appeal to the enthusiast crowd.
The appeal starts with the CamRally's vintage Toyota racing colors of red, orange and yellow painted on a widened body. Those wide fender flares and rocker panels, paired with the revised front and rear fascias (and massive rear spoiler), lend the car an aggressive look without being tacky, and enhance the aerodynamics. But peel back the skin and you'll find plenty of performance upgrades to back up the looks.
While Toyota doesn't say how much horsepower it makes, the CamRally's V6 is turbocharged, and we assume the car's brake upgrade is indicative of the engine's increased output. The stripped interior only contains what's needed for rally racing, including bucket seats, a motorsport steering wheel covered in Alcantara, a carbon-fiber dashboard and a roll cage.
