74 Toyota Fj40 Landcruiser With Chevy V8 Conversion Dark Green on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:100000
Location:

Ooltewah, Tennessee, United States

Ooltewah, Tennessee, United States

This is a 1974 FJ40 that has had the Chevy V8 conversion. The engine is a new Chevy 350 crate engine with less than 500 miles since installed. I had the turbo 400 transmission and transfer case rebuilt when they replaced the engine. This is built for a true off road vehicle, but can be driven on the road. It has a 4 inch lift and sits on 35 inch tires (that are new),It is in good shape for this year vehicle and had the typical rust in the rear quarter panels and along the back of the seats where the rear section meets the floor pan. I welded in metal along that section and put on the rear quarter panel covers over the bad spots. I did treat and paint the rust areas and they have been this way for the past 13 years I have owned and driven the vehicle. I repainted it last year, but it is just a rattle can paint job, great for off road cause you can touch up any trail rash with paint from local hardware or superstore. I have done many upgrades to the vehicle listed below. I am in the Chattanooga TN area, so you are welcome to see the cruiser if you are in the area. It has a clear TN title. I will only except cash or PayPal as payments for this vehicle. No international sales, but I can be available if someone wants to have the vehicle shipped in the US. Here is a list of what has been done to this cruiser:

New crate 350 engine with less then 500 miles

Rebuilt 400 turbo trans and transfer case

New BF Goodrich 35 inch mud terrain tires (less then 200 miles on them)

New Superwinch 9500 winch with cover

New Hella high intensity driving lights

Power steering

4 wheel disc brake conversion

4 inch lift, also less then 200 miles on it.

New swing out rear tire bumper with 2" hitch

Spare tire is match new BF Goodrich mud terrain

Has a 4 barrel Holley Truck Dominator carb

Newer battery

Aluminum radiator

New lights up front and in the rear

New hold downs for the hood and windshield

ARB rear air locker with onboard air compressor with air storage tank plumbed in.

Newer adjustable seats

Tuffy center locking console with a new Sony explode CD player with Ipod input

2 weather proof speakers

Poly gas tank

Rock lights

New weather stripping on doors

Soft top with hard doors. The soft top has a place on the roof where it rubs on the role bar that wore through. I have duct tape over it, and it is a small hole.

Full roll bar

CB radio with antenna

Custome gauges (Spedo and odometer do not work, replaced the cable but no luck, not sure of milage but guessing over 100,000)

 As I said, this is set up for off road use, but it can be driven on the road. It does not have the greatest road manners with the power steering and large tires on a 4" lift. The 4 barrel carb also likes gas and these things are not the most fuel efficient vehicles to begin wth. As you can see from the list above a large amount of money has been spent on this cruiser to set it up for a serious 4 wheeling vehicle. I moved from another state and away from my wheeling friends and have no time to take it out anymore.No reserve on this auction and I will not end it early so please do not ask.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Recharge Wrap-up: Minnesota first to require biodiesel, maglev in Israel, Toyota FCV in Aspen

Thu, Jun 26 2014

A new Minnesota law that requires biodiesel blends goes into effect in just a few days, says KELO. Diesel drivers in Minnesota will be pumping soybeans into their tank beginning July 1. Every year, diesel will be sold as a B10 blend (ten percent biofuel) from April through August, and will scale back to a cold-hardy B5 blend from September through March. The biofuel largely comes from soybean crops grown within Minnesota, and the biodiesel industry pumps more than $900 million into the state economy every year. According to the National Biodiesel Board, using the B10 and B5 blends will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1,342,000,000 pounds every year. Minnesota is the first state to require diesel to be sold as a biofuel blend. In Japan, Isuzu Motors and Japanese biotech venture Euglena are teaming up to create biodiesel using algae, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. The goal is to create a new type of fuel that doesn't need to be mixed with light oil to be used in engines. "As long as we use light oil for diesel engines, emissions of carbon dioxide are inevitable," says Isuzu president Susumu Hosoi. Euglena has also been using algae to develop jet fuel with airline operator ANA Holdings. Isuzu and Euglena hope to have the new biodiesel developed by 2018. Aerial maglev transportation is coming to the campus of a defense contractor in Tel Aviv, Israel, Wired reports. The SkyTran personal rapid transit system uses small pods on an elevated magnetic track to move people from place to place. The pilot program will see SkyTran come to the corporate campus of Israel Aerospace Industries as soon as next year. The pods are hailed by phone, and carry passengers along the magnetic rail system at speeds of up to 44 miles per hour. The passive magnetic system levitates the pod attachment a centimeter above the rails, while a burst of electricity propels the pod forward. If the test at the campus goes well, SkyTran could spread to Tel Aviv at large, moving up to 12,000 people per track per hour with top speeds of 150 mph. The pre-production prototype of the Toyota FCV will make its North American debut at the 2014 Aspen Ideas Festival on Friday, June 27. The hydrogen car's finished exterior was revealed in Japan on Wednesday along with its nearly $70,000 price tag. It will go on sale in Japan by April of next year, and will come to Europe and California in the summer of 2015.

Vote to unionize Toyota Canada plant faces delay

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with high-profile unionization efforts afoot at one of its North American factories. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, is attempting to organize Toyota's factories in Ontario, reports Reuters. A vote was originally set for next week, but Unifor has apparently found more workers eligible to vote, delaying the proceedings. It hasn't rescheduled the ballot yet, but claims there are 7,500 employees with the right to vote, with over 3,000 having already signed union cards.
Toyota is pushing against organizing, saying that workers already have a payment and benefits near the top of the industry, and noting that it has never laid off a permanent employee in Canada. Unifor has reportedly countered by saying that about a quarter of the workforce is operating under a temporary contract, which receives lower benefits.
The automaker has three factories in Ontario - two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock. To form a union, a majority of eligible employees must vote to join Unifor. If successful, they would be the first wholly owned Toyota plants in North America to be organized. Previous attempts to unionize the Japanese automaker's Canadian factories in 2001 and 2008 failed due to lack of support.
