I am selling a original 1978 FJ40 that I just got and will be slowly restoring. The FJ has the original 2F engine with 70K miles on her and she runs great. Most fjs will leak a little oil, well not this one-no leaking oil!! I just drained all the fluides, installed new fuel filter, new air filter, new TOYOTA fuel pump. put in new full SYNTHETIC OIL with new oil filter, new battery and it has new tires. I just pulled the radiator and will be having it recorded or replaced, either way it will perform like new. I will slowly be restoring this fj to ORIGINAL stock condition, no crazy modifications or chevy engines!!! I am a 100% STOCK guy.
The engine is good, it is the body cosmetics that need attenion. I get most of my parts from Cool Cruisers and they have preformed thicker body parts for restorations. These are NOT cover up parts, they are for cutting the old rusty metal out and new metal going in. After all the parts have been replaced, she will be getting a fresh coat of her original Toyota Freeborn red color. I will continue to slowing work on her and the price will reflect the upgrades. I have another 78 and a 82 that I am doing right now, so this one will be a good 3 weeks or so before she gets her body work done. In the pics I have some of her parts on the fj taken off as I slowly strip her down for prep. When I am done with this fj, she will be a 20K+landcruiser. I am just in the begining but you can have her somewhere along this stage and capture some of the increased value of her. If you have any questions, please let me know

I dont need help selling this fj, scammers will be reported, NO TRADES and fj is being sold as is. You are welcome to preview the fj anytime. I reserve the right to end this aution at anytime as I am selling it locally as well. Winning buyer is required to deposit $2,000 within 24hours of end of auction and the remaining balance within 3 days of end of auction. I WILL NOT do paypal, so cash or wire is preferred. I will help with shipping, but the buyer pays the cost to ship. I have a lady I use for my shipping and she been great for me. I would be happy to give you her name and number

2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
