Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I
bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on
since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in
order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the
inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in.
The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall. It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s
called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can
change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has
several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any
auto paint supply store. I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this
vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and
back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest
Roll bar. Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used,
Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel.
Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling
off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which
will need to be upholstered. New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape,
but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you
want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away. Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts
replaced. It is in great shape. Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself. The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is
“showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have
too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out. There are other parts as well, and please call if you have
any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks. |

Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
