1971 Toyota FJ 40 Landcruiser. I bought this FJ40 1 1/2 years ago when I lived in California but things changed and I never ended up using it.  I ended up having to retire and moving to Arizona. I trailered it to Arizona and it’s been in my garage ever since.

This cruiser was professionally built from the frame up. Here’s a list of all the work that has been done to it.

1991 Chevrolet 5.0 fuel injected engine

Chevrolet 4 speed transmission

Aftermarket twin shift transfer case (I can’t remember the brand)

Power steering

Electric cooling fan

Spring over conversion

35” tires 85% tread left

 I think the front axle is from a Toyota truck but I’m not positive.

Rancho RS9000XL adjustable shocks all around

Front disc brakes

Adjustable proportioning valve on the master cylinder

Hunsaker seats. The driver's side seat adjuster is broken. The seat does not adjust.

Corbeau 3 point harnesses

JVC stereo cd player with amplifier 

Custom speaker box

Full roll cage

Locking Tuffy center console box with cup holders

Lots of stainless steel allen bolts

Optima battery 

I’m sure that I am missing a lot of other things but you get the idea. The truck starts right up and runs great. It doesn’t smoke and there are no leaks. It needs nothing. This truck was done right. Drive any other V8 Fj40 conversion and then drive this one. It doesn’t wander and goes down the road straight and true.

The paint has some flaking and the passenger side front fender is in rough shape. It looks like it had some really bad body work and then was painted black. There is a small rust spot above the rear drivers side fender. There is some surface rust here and there but that’s it. Look at the photos. The frame is rust free. Even the usual FJ40 rust spots have no rust. The rear corners under the diamond plate, the rear tailgate doors, the area below the tailgates, and the floors are rust free.

All gauges work except for the oil pressure gauge, the odometer, and the speedometer. Everything else works. Lights, horn wipers, heater, etc. all work. 

There is no top or doors included!

There is no top or doors included!

I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible.  However, it is over 40 years old and is sold as is and doesn’t come with any warranty of any kind. 

It has always been garaged, never left outside. The registration is current and I have the clear Arizona title for it. The FJ40 is located in Western Arizona. I will gladly answer any questions but please read the entire ad first. if I don’t get back to you in a few days then the answer to your question is in the description. I cannot ship but I will help with shipping at your cost in any way I can. Please do not bid if you can't pay. All non-paying bidders will be reported to E-Bay. Sold to citizens of the United States only – no exceptions.  A non refundable PayPal deposit of $1000.00 is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction, with the remaining due in 7 days. I will not release the truck until I have the entire payment, no exceptions. I will not accept trades so please don't ask. I accept Paypal or cash only!! Good luck!

Toyota FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.

Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series. According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations.
We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger, the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline. Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons.
That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204. Ram Trucks trailed behind in third with 241,204 units with Toyota close behind at 229,769. Nissan, meanwhile, remains a distant fifth. Head over to PickupTrucks.com for a closer look at the breakdown in each segment.
