Very cool and rare late model FJ40 with Power Steering.

Here's your chance if you want the best of the best. Here's a drop-dead gorgeous 1980 Beige Land Cruiser FJ40 that has undergone an extensive restoration from top to bottom with meticulous attention to detail. She rides and drives beautifully and without issue.

Miraculously, this FJ40 has been able to dodge many of the of the undesirable modifications that you often see. You won't find diamond plate, a V8, rear quarters cut out for flares or any jerry cans bolted on. The truck does have a very nice leak-free sunroof which was added at the time of purchase. It can tipped open or glass completely removed.  It's got the original Toyota 2F 6-cylinder and the emission control or smog equipment appears to be intact. The inline six-cylinder hums and the steering, clutch, transfer case and transmission are all in excellent working order.

Overview:
This FJ40 was restored by the previous owner who was very detail oriented, maintenance and performance minded. The engine was rebuilt and a performance distributor and other upgraded components were added which result in a great running engine. She does not burn oil or leak any fluids. Inside you will find a beautiful cabin upgraded with brighter LED signal and cluster lighting, additional amp meter, manifold pressure meter, aviation compass, sunroof and a high quality audio system. Having spent most of her life in dry climates, she’s in nearly perfect shape. The pictures tell the story and there are many to see if you click the links below. This FJ40 will not disappoint!

Interior:
The interior is flawless. The front seats have been reupholstered and the rear jump seat retain the original upholstery and they look great. The metal seat backs were sandblasted and powder coated. You will find the correct 1980 rear heater installed and finished in satin black. Correct 1980 center console, original headliner and Kenwood AM/FM/CD with speakers in doors and in the rear.  There's new door weatherstripping on all doors, all windows work smoothly and seal well. 112K miles indicated on odometer and believed to be accurate. All OEM original mats front and rear. All 4 seat belts are intact, not frayed, and work well. The rear heater works great as do all gauges and controls. All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers, stereo and all gauges work perfectly. Both interior door panels as well as the dashpad are perfect. Includes the jack, jack rods and toolkit.

Body:
Repainted inside and out with Dupont single-stage urethane with hardener – Color matched to Toyota Beige 464. Rooftop and rain gutter repainted white, headlight bezel media blasted and painted white. Any rust was cut out and replaced with metal and rust proofed. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body. OEM front bumper with Halogen spots and fog lamps. During restoration she received new parts galore, rubber hood pads, hood hooks, all emblems & gaskets, new front and rear lamps, new mirrors, new transfer case shifter boot, etc. Set up to tow your favorite toy with a standard hitch receiver and 4 pin flat wiring. Cruiser is dealer equipped with Warn free wheeling hubs. The truck sits on a stock suspension and has a smooth ride compared to most. The Wildcat Radial tires are 80% and are mounted on OEM stock white wagon wheels! The spare is the original Dunlop Snow Cruiser.

Summary:
The quality of this FJ40 is extreme. You'll be unable to drive her around with noticing the smiles and waves of the growing FJ40's fan base! You can make a great memories in your FJ40 while also enjoying a blue chip investment that will reward you when and if you ever sell her. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 5 business days.

2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 4

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
