Build was done by previous owner about 3 years ago. Very capable crawler and still does well on the street and highway. I have daily driven the FJ for about 9 months with excellent reliability. Wheelbase was extended to just under 100". The TBI 305 and rig has unknown mileage and runs good. The SM465 transmission and split case transfer case were rebuilt at time of build. Drives very well on street and highway, runs about 2800 rpm @ 60mph with current gear setup and has around a 170-1 craw ratio with Crawler box and transfer case in low. I have 3 tops, the bikini is custom made for the full family cage and is in great shape. The soft top is in decent shape with a couple small repairs, and small scratches on windows that are still nice and flexible. The hard top consist of the two sides and rear hatch which are stripped to bare metal, and the fiberglass top which is decent but could be refinished or line X. I have the rear quarter window glass, You would have to have the flat side windows cut at a glass shop. 2 sets of doors-full hard and 1/2 soft. Front windshield was new at build and is safety glass. The body is in overall pretty good shape and was painted with a single stage Limco paint at build. I have about 1/3 gallon on original paint for hard top or touch-ups. The rear quarter panels were in same condition as the rest of the body when the build was done with the exception of a dent in one side (which is why the budbuilt corners were installed). The bud built corners had POR 15 applied to backside and the outside was paired with satin black for easy touch-ups. The body/paint is not show quality, has minor defects or scars from use, but still looks good. Small dent in passenger front fender from rock (see pics). FJ was in pretty good shape before build, any rust was cut out and new sheet metal welded in. Since build any chips or surface rust has been sanded, primed, and touched up. One of the doors has a small spot of rust that is forming by the drain at the bottom. 12 point wiring harness is all plug and play and not spliced up. There are no electrical gremlins and every wire is labeled for it's use. New fuse box and has LED indicators for check engine, brights, and blinkers. Computer is in glove box for safety. Comes with extras: gun case with full set of spare axles-fuel pump, filter, axle grease, spare hoses/fitting for trailside repair, pitman arm.

Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
