Boulder, Colorado, United States

Selling my Baby with no reserve, high bid takes it unless it sells locally first. I'm loosing my garage storage and want to pass onto someone who can get out and wheel her. This FJ is a beast, but was my daily driver for 2 years. Built 396 Chevy Big Block mated with what I believe to be the prefect manual tranny for an FJ40, the 5speed H55F. Just the uninstalled transmission would set you back well over 3K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First the bad: basically just some minor body stuff. Has some minor bondo on both fenders (previous owner), little bit on the front of the hood and I think a bit under the gunmetal on the quarters(haven't ever pulled it off or looked to closely, but no one really puts on Gunmetal on an FJ40 if not addressing Cancer). Additionally the body is rattlecan black, over the legacy rattle can camo (PO) which is over the stock forest green after a little sand down. Basically the rig is fully built mechanically and doesn't need anything further on that aspect. It's meant to be driven and not a trailer queen, but that said it has a respectable body,72 had good thick steel, hardtop in good condition save for less than perfect seals on the back windows, and hard half doors and full doors (not yet painted to match). I can get pictures or answer questions. Additionally there is one mechanical issue that I drove on but will need addressing, the Ebrake is hydraulic and I believe a valve is sticking as at low speeds when your hard on the brakes the Ebrake has been wanting to stay on, cheap fix but don't have the time.. Below is an incomplete parts list. Truck has been stored in a garage for 3 years, was run every month for the first two, and has since been drained and sitting for the last year. I've relocated to the Midwest, and this won't get used to its full potential out there. Will probably need a quick carb clean and calibration, I had it fired up last Christmas, but the batteries were having some issues turning it over, and after sitting in storage for 3 years (last year without exercising it every month or two) it likely will need new batteries (dual setup). 72 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, -396 Chevy Big Block motor.

Truck is located in Boulder Colorado at my parents house, I'll be here till January 5th and it can assist with shipping. Please not I haven't gotten home to fire it up, this year. The fluids were swapped last year while in storage, however a little bit of gas likely remains to siphon out (drained the fuel last year when I was using it for the holidays).

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology
Wed, 23 Jan 2013For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Toyota offers many flavors of its refreshed 2015 Camry, but those who choose to lower their operating cost-per-mile, squeeze 500-plus miles out of each tank of fuel or run a very efficient and reliable sedan in their taxi fleets will only be interested in one: the Camry Hybrid.
The exterior of the 2015 Camry Hybrid is nearly indistinguishable from its gasoline-only counterparts, with the same all-new sheetmetal and bumpers. The Hybrid is offered in LE, SE and XLE trims, meaning customers are offered base, sport or luxury configurations, respectively.
While Toyota expended quite a bit of effort resculpting and improving the 2015 Camry Hybrid, one area it didn't touch was the powertrain - it is virtually identical to last year's model (just like the gas version). Under the hood is a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine (156 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque) and an electric tractive motor (141 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque). Combined, and running through Toyota's unique Hybrid Synergy Drive electronic continuously variable transmission, the two produce 200 horsepower (Toyota does not list a combined torque figure, and we've asked for clarification). A 1.6 kilowatt-hour nickel-metal-hydride battery, packaged behind the rear seats, provides energy storage.
