I am attempting to sell my fj40 in hopes to be able to purchase another style land cruiser. I have documented the refresh pretty well over the last two years on Ih8mud. com. The build isnt perfect and there is room to grow of course. I did not upgrade the steering from manual to power nor the brakes from drums to disc. The paint is not car show quality but it does get many compliments even up close. I did not rebuild the motor because the PO who also owns an FJ40 stated that it had been recently rebuilt. It is a 2F motor which is not original to the vehicle but seems to be a common upgrade. I had the compression checked earlier in the summer and the numbers looked good. If you would like a compression check please let me know. I will try to get down to the local shop to have them do a check this week. The mileage is unknown as the PO did not know the mileage . I was eventually going to do a 3FE upgrade. All of the rust was cut out, the rocker panels, quarter panels, and rear sill were replaced by a local friend. The paint job was done by Demention's Body Shop on the south side of San Antonio. Once again it is not the best nor is it oem. It is actually a Chrysler code which is in the receipts but it is the new Jeep Sahara Tan color code. The shop applied POR 15 to the bottom of the tub and in the wells on the fender and rear quarter panels. I applied Rust Bullet to the frame while the body was off having rocker panels, rear sill, and quarter panels replaced. Also the brake lines and clutch lines were replaced. The speedometer cable has been matched for the autometer gauge but does not currently work because of where it attaches to the transfer case. I also just put a new alt and voltage regulator on this week. Once again the vehicle is ready to be enjoyed. The vehicle has a clear Colorado Title but is located in San Antonio, Texas due to moving and not registering it here in Texas yet. The vehicle will come with all parts that remain are in my garage which is quite a bit of stuff. The vin# is FJ40137489 if you would like to check it out. I never have so I honestly do not know what is on there, but want to be open. Once again please ask questions if you have one. Just some of the stuff that I could think of and through one file of receipts just to give an idea of what I have spent so far.

Scion rules out roadster, turbo versions of FR-S
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ever since Toyota and Subaru released the sports car alternatively known as the GT86, 86, BRZ and Scion FR-S a couple of years ago, rumors have circulated that even more exciting variants could be in store. But at least as far as Scion is concerned, those rumors are apparently nothing more than wishful thinking. Speaking with WardsAuto at the LA Auto Show last week, Scion chief Doug Murtha said that the prospect of an FR-S roadster has been taken off the table entirely. Apparently Scion lobbied parent company Toyota to produce just such a model, but after failing to find other markets interested enough in the model to put it into production, corporate HQ said no. "I think we were pretty aggressive on our (submitted plan), but we looked at what we would have conceivably lost on the product and said, 'We're not going to even push it further,'" Murtha said, going on to note, "Nobody was more disappointed than we were." Murtha further shot down the idea of a turbo version of the FR-S, dismissing it as a prospect the blogosphere (that's us) wanted to happen but "that's not something that's coming." Either variant might have helped Scion and Toyota boost sales of the model (which are predictably dropping after their first two years on the market), but the investment also might not have paid off their development, tooling and marketing costs. Of course, Murtha can only speak for Toyota, but we'd be surprised to see Subaru go it alone on either model, as costs would be that much more prohibitive without a partner. Bummer.
Toyota To Stop Building Cars In Australia
Tue, Feb 11 2014Toyota said Monday it will stop making cars in Australia by the end of 2017, spelling a final blow to auto manufacturing in the country, where car companies say high production costs and tough competition have crippled business conditions. Toyota's announcement, which will result in the loss of around 2,500 jobs, was widely anticipated, coming just two months after General Motors Co. said it would end production in Australia by 2017. Ford Motor Co. announced in May that it would cease Australian production in 2016. All told, some 6,600 manufacturing jobs will be lost between the three companies. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. stopped manufacturing in Australia in 2008. Toyota Motor Corp. said its decision was based on a combination of factors including the high Australian dollar, the high cost of manufacturing and competition. "We did everything that we could to transform our business," Toyota Australia CEO Max Yasuda said in a statement. "But the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia." Toyota President Akio Toyoda delivered the news to workers at the company's Altona plant near Melbourne, where he paid tribute to 50 years of Toyota cars being built in Australia. "To now have to deliver this news to the very people we have worked so hard with, to the many people who have supported our production for so many years, is most regretful for Toyota and, for me personally, simply heartbreaking," he said. Toyota, which has been manufacturing cars in Australia since 1963, currently makes the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Aurion in the country. It will become a sales company. Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said Toyota had not asked the government for any financial assistance in the lead-up to its decision. The government had subsidized auto manufacturing, hoping to keep the industry alive as it supports tens of thousands of jobs in other areas including auto parts. Holden, which is the Australian arm of GM, received 1.8 billion Australian dollars ($1.6 billion) in federal government assistance in the past 11 years. Auto makers in Australia produced about 178,000 cars in 2012, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.

2014 Toyota Highlander
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."
