1973 Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Fresno, California, United States
Runs and drives excellent, has been a daily driver, kept in garage when not driven. I have had most of it restored
over the last 5 years, however due to recent layoff I am forced to sell our fun truck. Starts on first turn of the
key, has many upgrades; power disc brakes, power steering, V8 powertrain conversion, and more below.
Includes original steel doors which are in excellent condition - were restored with all new rubber, they look new.
Also included are the original rear seats in good condition, a new bikini top, a rubber cargo area mat, and the
original steel hard top (which was not restored). Please see details below.
Powertrain: professional powertrain conversion done in the early 90’s. Chevy 350 engine with low miles, TH350 (GM)
Automatic Transmission - shifts smooth and was recently serviced, Mild shift kit, New Process (GM) 205 Transfer
Case. Edelbrock Manifold with Holley 4 bbl Warrior Carburetor. Truck runs excellent and sounds great. Unlike a
stock FJ40, this truck has power and motors easily over hills and mountains, runs great on freeway or on the
trails.
Brakes: Power brakes, front brakes were converted to disc brakes. Serviced a few years ago, pads/disc all in good
condition.
Suspension: 31 Yokohama tires are a couple years old, a lot of tread and life on them. Original rims. 2”
Ironman leaf springs in front, original leaf springs in back. Rides nice however before I was laid off I bought
the matching rear 2” Ironman leaf springs for rear, and can be included if new owner wants to have them
installed.
Body: Several years ago I had it repainted the original color Rustic Green. Shop did a decent job. Had all
rubber replaced. Also had some common rust spots fixed. Its not perfect, but looks great and gets compliments
everywhere we go.
Doors: Doors go on easily, slide over the hinges and then drop the hinge pin in. As the rest of the truck, the
doors were sanded down, prepped, repainted original color, and have new rubber.
Original Top: The top is included and in decent condition,
The ceiling on all FJ40’s is fiberglass,
Rear Seats: Also included are the original rear ambulance seats. They were not restored however in good
condition.
Interior: Original front seats in good condition, I keep covers on them. Instruments all work, has stock A/C and
compressor, however is not hooked up or working. Stock roll bar.
Fuel tank and fuel lines recently replaced. Setup for dual tanks however the rear tank was removed by previous
owner, front tank is new.
Stereo: Original Toyota radio is in the dash, and a custom stereo console was made for a more up to date deck with
blue tooth, USB, remote, etc.

Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.
Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
Wed, 14 May 2014Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
