1967 FJ40 Landcruiser 4X4 is not shiny, nor civilized....instead, built to be violent and rugged. Has front and rear locking differentials, 3 speed manual transmission. The engine is the famous aluminum head ZZ4 found in the Jegs catalog. It has the loudest flowmasters available. Transmission and transfer Case are original and recently rebuilt with all new bearings and seal. Transfer Case is still vacuum operated, so is a bit cantankerous engaging 2 to 4 wheel drive, but does work. It still has the original "one pump wonder" drum brakes (with new components) and is not vacuum assist. Needless to say, the phrase "refined stopping features" do not apply. They work fine, for what they are. As outrageous as this truck looks, it actually drives fast and handles well. You can steer with one hand, while cruising on the Interstate, although I don't recommend it. The fold-down tow bar is functional and the optional skull, goes with it. The speedo cable is bad, so the actual miles are not going to be correct.
Overall, being a vintage 1967, it does have rust and patch panels, here and there. It also has some pretty crude Bondo work on one fender and mostly a paint job from spray cans, so the point is: don't expect a cosmetic creampuff....at least you don't have to worry about door-dings at Walmart.
It has a true Skyjacker 4" lift suspension system and does not squeak or rattle. Despite the cosmetics, it actually is a reliable road driver. It is LOUD and CRAZY, so you do attract attention, when you drive it. The clutch is also new, when the gearboxes were rebuilt. The V8 is installed with the Advance Adaptors kit, for this. It is shown with the Bikini top, but will come with several top options, that include a full soft top, with doors, a windcurtain that fits behind the front seats (makes a "half-cab"...my personal favorite) and a set of soft, half-doors. Rear bench seat is removable and all seats do have seat belts. The heater does work, as well and the roll cage is FULL. The video is a low-resolution, walk around...I could not get the HQ version to load, so had to work with it. The tires are 35 x 15's. One is new, the other 3 have seen better days, but are serviceable. I am listing this with no reserve, so high bidder gets it....go at it boys!!

Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
Toyota is world's top-selling automaker for second year in a row
Sun, 26 Jan 2014Toyota is the top-selling automaker in the world. Again. Still. With total reported sales, including those from subsidiaries, of 9.98 million in 2013, Toyota's performance was enough to outpace rival General Motors by around 270,000 vehicles. That's a 2.4-percent gain over 2012, and it makes Toyota the top-seller two years in a row. Still, the gap between the top three is shrinking - Toyota held a 460,000-unit lead in 2012.
GM sold 9.71 million vehicles last year, a four-percent increase, coming in second place ahead of Volkswagen, which sold around 9.5 million. According to Bloomberg, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said his company managed to win the sales race while also remaining more profitable than GM or VW.
It's going to be another interesting year in 2014 as the three behemoth automakers vie for the title of World's Largest. Toyota has predicted that it will increase sales in 2014 to 10.32 million - which would make Toyota the first automaker ever to surpass 10 million global sales - though General Motors and VW are expected to again fight for the lead in the massive Chinese market. Stay tuned.
MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX
Thu, 16 Oct 2014It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.
