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.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

2023 Chicago Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: See all the new cars from the show

Thu, Feb 16 2023

The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.   2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander View 7 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2024 Volkswagen Atlas View 14 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport View 7 Photos 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with its carbon fiber wheels 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels View 7 Photos 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray View 10 Photos Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions View 3 Photos 2023 BMW XM 2023 BMW XM View 6 Photos Ram Revolution Concept Ram Revolution Concept View 6 Photos NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car — Toyota Camry NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car ?

Toyota confirms 2014 Highlander is in a New York state of mind

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Toyota has confirmed that it will be showing off the all-new 2014 Highlander at the New York Auto Show later this month. It's been a while since we've heard about the updated Highlander, but given just how long this thing has been on the market, we certainly hope that the list of changes will be more extensive than the new 2014 Toyota Tundra that debuted in Chicago last month.
Currently, the Highlander is offered in both naturally aspirated and hybrid versions, with front- and all-wheel drive. We don't expect the formula to change too much, since sales of the Japanese CUV are still steady - well in line with newer players in the segment like the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and GM's Lambda triplets (Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave).
We'll have the full skinny on the new Highlander in the coming weeks. For now, scroll down to read Toyota's incredibly brief press blast.
