1978 Toyota FJ40.....Very Nice Original Condition Here is the story: This vehicle was purchased new by a gentleman by the name of Edward Shaffner in 1978 from a Toyota dealership in Harrisburg, PA. Mr. Shaffner kept record of everything he had done to the vehicle as well as most of the receipts. He kept a record from 05/20/78 when the vehicle had 00053 miles on it up until 11/14/07 when the vehicle had 65253 miles on it. Mr. Shaffner subsequently passed away and an estate auction was held in April 2008. The vehicle was placed up for auction. I bid on the vehicle, but was not the successful bidder. The vehicle was purchased by Mr. David Weiser, who happened to be a neighbor of Mr. Shaffner and always liked the vehicle. After the sale, I went and congratulated Mr. Weiser. During conversation, we exchanged names and phone numbers. I advised Mr. Weiser that if he ever wants to sell the vehicle to please call me. I received a call a from the wife of Mr. Weiser a little over a year later. Mrs. Weiser had advised me that her husband had suffered a stroke and could no longer drive the vehicle due to the manual steering. Mrs. Weiser offered the vehicle to me. I was told that they had only put 30 miles on the vehicle since they had bought it at the auction. I advised Mrs. Weiser that I would love to purchase the vehicle but do not currently have the funds to purchase it. Mrs. Weiser advised me that she was in no rush to sell it and that it would be kept safe and secure in the garage. I purchased the vehicle in August 2011 with 68120 miles on the vehicle. The miles are original and documented on a CLEAN PA title. I installed a 2 1/2" Black Diamond suspension lift and shackles from Cool Cruiser of Texas. It currently has 33" BF Goodrich tires with like new tread as well as aluminum Outlaw II wheels. The vehicle drives, runs and looks 100%. I still have the original leaf springs for the vehicle as well as the set or tires that I purchased the vehicle with. The interior is all original. There are no modifications. The stitching in the drivers side seat is ripped. The material is not ripped, just the stitching from age. It is a $200.00 fix at an auto upholstery shop. The original tool bag is still wrapped up and secured under the drivers seat. The seats still even have the small square Japanese decal on the backs of them. The black that you see in the pictures is from the original owner getting the vehicle rust proofed every few years. The frame is solid. I could probably go on and on, but it's probably easier to just ask me what is on your mind. There are two small spots that are starting to develop.....the first is on the rear at the right side bottom near the ambulance door opening. The second is barely visible on the right fender. One side note.....last summer my son was behind a pick up truck and a can of paint fell off the rear. The paint can exploded and paint got onto the FJ. The vehicle was taken to a professional detailer and all the paint was removed, however; there was a spot on the right rocker panel where the paint needed fixed. The FJ was taken to Yancey's in Lebanon and the right rocker and side step were repainted professionally. The match is 100%. Vehicle is offered for sale with a reserve and is listed locally as well. I will ship anywhere in the 48 contiguous states as long as payment clears first and you make the shipping arrangements. I will help any way that I can and you pay actual shipping. No extra costs or fees. This vehicle is being offered for sale ONLY due to the fact that my son is getting married and needs help with the costs. This was always a father/son deal and now the investment will pay for his expenses. THIS IS A COMPLETE VEHICLE...I have the hard top, two side doors, and rear ambulance style doors. I also have a second set of tires in excellent shape mounted on the original rims and hubcaps. I almost forget......I want to be as complete and honest as possible....the front driveshaft is currently off the vehicle but included. When the suspension lift and shackles were installed, the front driveshaft was too short. I had a local speed shop give me an estimate of $200-$300 to get it lengthened. I never followed through as the vehicle never went off road. This was stored in the garage over the winter and was never out in the rain as well. It was strictly a "fair weather driver". |

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
Scion was slain by Toyota, not the Great Recession
Wed, Feb 3 2016Scion didn't have to go down like this. Through the magic of hindsight and hubris, it's easier to see what went wrong. And what might have been. What the industry should understand is this: Scion wasn't a losing proposition from the get-go. Its death is due to negligence and apathy. This is more than just the failure of a sub-brand. It's the failure of a company to deliver new and compelling products over an extended period of time. Toyota will point to the Great Recession as the reason it hedged its bets and withdrew funding for new vehicles, instead of using that as an opportunity to redouble efforts. This was as good as a death warrant, although myopically no one realized it at the time. Sadly, GM's Saturn experiment was a road map for this exact form of failure. No one at Toyota seemed to think the Saturn experience was worth protecting their experimental brand from. Or they weren't heard. Brands live and die on product. Somehow, Scion convinced itself that its real success metric was a youthful demographic of buyers. It seems like this was used to gauge the overall health of the brand. Look at the aging and uncompetitive tC, which Scion proudly noted had a 29-year-old average buyer. That fails to take into account its lack of curb appeal and flagging sales. Who cares if the declining number of people buying your cars are younger? Toyota is going to kill the tC thirteen years [And two indifferent generations ... - Ed.] after it was introduced. In that time, Honda has come out with three entirely new generations of the Civic. Scion wasn't a losing proposition from the get-go. Its death is due to negligence and apathy. At launch, the brand could have gone a few different ways. The xB was plucky, interesting, and useful – a tough mix of ephemeral characteristics – but the xA didn't offer much except a thin veneer of self-consciously applied attitude. That's ok; it was cute. Enter the tC, which managed to combine sporty pretensions with decent cost. It took on the Civic Coupe in the contest for coolness, and usually managed to win. More importantly, an explicit brand value early on was a desire to avoid second generations of any of its models, promising a continually evolving and fresh lineup. At this point, the road splits. Down one lane lies the Scion that could have been. After a short but reasonable product lifecycle, it would have renewed the entire lineup.
Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The 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.
