I AM SELLING MY 1971 FJ55 ( Build Date 1 / 1971 ), VIN NUMBER: FJ5519787 / 2F ENGINE NUMBER: 2F668416. What your looking at is ALL ORIGINAL PAINT, NEVER PAINTED SINCE FACTORY. The Cruiser has ZERO CANCER and only light surface rust in some areas. The roof gutters were lined with protective coating years ago by PO and show NO signs of cancer rust at all. The UNDERCARRIAGE is also Rust Free. The quick story is that this FJ55 lived in Palm Springs almost its entire life until brought over to San Diego area in 2011. The Original owner's daughter blew up the F engine sometime in the late 70's, early 80's. It then sat in the owners garage for approx. 29 years. It was then sold to a friend of mine in Palm Springs. He found a 2F ENGINE but did NOT put it in. He then sold it to a guy in San Diego who put the engine in but never hooked it up. I then bought it and my mechanic who was with Toyota for 18 years got the Engine running. We have done the following to the cruiser:>>>>> Hooked up 2F engine, Removed and cleaned out and replaced fuel line to fuel tank, Rewired Alternator, Bled hydraulic Clutch, New wheel cylinders, Brake shoes, Exhaust pipe, Igniter, Coil, Belt, Wiper blades, Pedal pad kit, Choke cable, Gas pedal and assembly, Battery hold down, Sand blast and restore stock steel wheels, New BF Goodrich 33 x 10.50 x 15 All Terrain T/A x 4 ( only 20 miles on them, Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, Primer Pump, Ignition wires, Oil plug gasket, Distributor Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Thermo gasket, 4 speed knob, 4 wd knob, OPTIMA battery, Battery cables, Install 4 speed Transmission / Transfer Case, Mount heater, heater hoses, Rebuild Starter, R&R Valve Cover, Replace Valve Cover Gasket, Replace Water Pump studs, Install Radiator Fan, Pully, Alternator, Belt and other details, Fabricate and weld in Motor Mounts, R&R Radiator, Reseal Top of Transmission, New flanges and seals, New drive shafts, 2F Engine flush, Oil Change, Drain plug gasket, New hose clamps, Replace all Radiator Hoses, Coolent, Sand Blast and machine Brake Drums, Brake Fluid, New fuel line, New wiring, Front and Real Pinion Seal and flange, R&R Brakes front and rear, Install Clutch, Clutch Slave, R&R Cargo electric window, Replace Oil Pan Gasket, Freeze plug, Glove compartment, Repair brake lights, blinker switch, back lights, Replace heater core, Hook up Temp gauge, Fuel gauge. I am not sure when the PO upholstered the seats front and rear but they are in perfect condition, Headliner in very nice condition with no rips, Floor in front has been rhino lined, floor in back and cargo remain stock and in near perfect condition with no rust at all. This Land Cruiser was kept inside and also in a very dry environment its whole life. As mentioned, it stayed put for about 30 years from what we understand. It is the cleanest original paint I have ever seen on an FJ55. I have owned 4 of them. ZERO RUST on this cruiser. The Cruiser can be either driven on a daily basis and enjoyed in its original form until you decide to restore it or just improve on it over the years. I have never wanted to restore the exterior body because of its original paint. It has a BEAUTIFUL original patina. I have many other pictures that I can send to you. Please ask questions and I will post them for others to see as well. The addition of the 2F Land Cruiser Engine has given the cruiser a much added boost in power and still wonderful torque. The FJ55 is known for its ruggedness. Mine has been well taken care of and has many years of life still in it. It has either been garaged or covered its entire life. Ready for the mountains. Good luck bidding and let me know if you need more pics. I know there are things I have forgotten to mention but please just ask questions if you have them. I have set the reserve fairly in my opinion based on the rarity and condition of the cruiser. I will be doing a COMPRESSION CHECK this next Wednesday to confirm the Engine condition but it does NOT leak, does NOT smoke, has plenty of power and a joy to drive. Will post Compression numbers when I get them. Thanks.

Toyota, Nissan, Honda will work together on hydrogen filling stations

Thu, Feb 12 2015

Japan's own version of the Big Three is taking on a transportation effort that's a far cry from the large-engined history of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. In fact, Toyota, Nissan and Honda are looking to do their part – and maybe a little more – for the environment by working together to collaborate on accelerating the deployment of hydrogen fuel delivery in Japan. More refueling stations means more convenience for prospective hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle owners. Toyota says the specifics, including investment amount and the number of stations to be deployed, will be "determined at a later date." Still, the effort dovetails with that of the Japanese government. That government announced a so-called Strategic Road Map for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells last June and subsequently said it would start offering about $20,000 worth of incentives for fuel cell vehicle buyers. In December, Toyota started selling its first mass-produced fuel cell vehicle, the Mirai, in Japan and said it would almost triple production to 2,000 vehicles in 2016 from 700 this year. Last month, the Tokyo government began talks with Toyota and Honda to collaborate on ensuring that there'd be at least 6,000 fuel-cell vehicles on Japan's roads in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Tokyo officials are looking to have 100,000 fuel-cell vehicles on the city's roads by 2025. Check out Toyota's press release below. Toyota, Nissan, and Honda to Jointly Support Hydrogen Station Infrastructure Development Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. have agreed to work together to help accelerate the development of hydrogen station infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Specific measures to be undertaken by the three manufacturers will be determined at a later date. For hydrogen-fueled FCVs to gain popularity, it is not only important that attractive products be launched-hydrogen station infrastructure must also be developed. At present, infrastructure companies are making every effort to build such an infrastructure, but they face difficulties in installing and operating hydrogen stations while FCVs are not common on the road. Following the formulation of its Strategic Road Map for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in June 2014, the Japanese government has highlighted the importance of developing hydrogen station infrastructure as quickly as possible in order to popularize FCVs.

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
