I've perused the various other FJ40 Land Cruisers for sale here, and this one is honest. No diamond plate covering rust, no fresh paint over filler over rust, no missing body seams or spot welds, no crappy modifications, no major parts (hard tops, etc.) missing, actually runs, drives, and stops reliably... This may not be the flashiest (40 year old paint rarely is), but it's HONEST. I regret to inform you that there IS some rust, and there is some filler over said rust (sorry, previous owner did it), but it's out in the open and I point it all out in the first video below. I also have given you my absolute best attempt at a virtual test drive with the hope that a video is worth a thousand photos and a photo is worth a thousand words, so you've got about an HOUR of many many thousands of words worth of information to show absolutely everything you could possibly want to know about this truck to feel comfortable buying it. This is not the first car I've sold on eBay (the second actually), and the buyer of the first car was very very pleased and we still talk from time to time. Please bid with confidence, and don't hesitate to ask questions or for additional photos or videos.

History (to the best of my ability and knowledge)
Originally sold in Englewood, CO (Denver suburb)
Original owner worked for the Denver Post Office driving trucks and put ~124,000 miles on it He drove it to and from work
appears to have done some light off roading
put what I believe was a jerry can holder on the passenger side fender over the rear wheel (four holes)
had front seats recovered with very high quality seat covers (I thought they were factory from another vehicle for quite a while and even went so far as to locate another set of original seats)
Second owner was a diesel mechanic living in Lakewood, CO (another Denver suburb) for a mining company.
He immediately took it off the road and put a total of about 5 miles on it over approximately 7 years
While in his possession he:
took it apart
rebuilt both axles end to end
replaced or rebuilt the radiator (brass core)
put filler over the rust
repainted part of the emissions cover
put a chrome Harley horn cover over the drivers side horn
replaced the battery tray with a quality home made diamond plate job
I purchased it (and live in the mountains about 30 minutes west of Denver), got it on the road and made it my daily driver after moving up here.
While in my possession over the past <5,000 miles I put it all back together and:
sprayed some primer over the PO's filler job
adjusted all of the doors and tire hanger
new battery
new tires (Cooper Discoverer M/S studded)
Pertronix ignition points, coil, and spark plug wires (original wiring unmodified and original points, condenser, and coil retained)
rebuilt carburetor
adjusted valves
replaced valve cover gasket
replaced lift gate handle
installed new three point retractable seat belts in front (using factory holes)
installed new Toyota two point seat belts on jump seats
had gas tank boiled, patched, and lined
finely tuned the carburetor with a wideband tuner at ~6,000' (stock sea level jets are in the jet holders on the carb)
replaced all fluids
adjusted brakes
new fuel pump
new gear reduction starter
replaced drivers front suspension bushings (I decided to order greaseable shackle instead of reusing originals mid-job, and never got back around to it)
Installed new SOR floor mats
lubricated and adjusted all controls
replaced ignition key barrel, had gas door lock rekeyed to match, had keys cut for doors
replaced ignition switch
cleaned OE washer motor
cleaned OE turn signal relay
new OEM bumperettes from Toyota
replaced tire swingout bumper with more effective piece
replaced emissions fuel tank return check valve (NLA) with directional fuel filter (not perfect, but it's working pretty well)
Parts missing:
OE hubcaps (available new from Toyota)
"Land Cruiser" scripts over front fenders
"TOYOTA" script from rear corner
"4 Wheel Drive" script from rear corner
OE jack, handle, tire iron, and tool kit
passenger side jump seat retainer strap
Extra parts included:
OE wheels
an extra set of front seats
brand new SOR headliner in a box
a few extra oil filters
a box of miscellaneous hardware, small parts, original parts that were replaced
and a giant stack of receipts and documentation
Compression cylinders 1-6 (original spec is 155 lbs at sea level, ~127 lbs at 6,000'): 116, 116, 109, 105, 106, 116
Emissions results (only noted where there were limits)
HC PPM Idle: 42/1000 2500 RPM: 16/1000
CO% Idle: 1.33/3.00 2500 RPM: .12/3.00
The top genuinely appears to have never been off: see videos linked above for details on this (and much more).
Buyer may arrange auto transport, fly in and drive it home (I'm fully confident it will get you home). Additionally, if you'll pay for the gas, a return flight, any necessary hotels, and you're willing to work with my schedule, I'll even deliver it personally anywhere in the contiguous US.
This truck has not been subjected to a V8 conversion. There's nothing wrong with V8s, and they can be done well, but I've seen a V8 conversion that was so bad the frame flexed if you turned the steering wheel while parked.
This truck has its original paint. That means you won't find out a year down the road that some unscrupulous seller polished a turd. Always beware fresh paint on an old car...
I'm selling simply because we need the money (I could go into the sob story as to why, but you probably don't need or want to know) badly enough to sell my truck and trade down to something less awesome.
I've tried to be as detailed and forthcoming as possible in the videos. I've bought enough old cars to know how easy it is to miss something or to conveniently have some wrinkled body work or rust just off camera. This truck is as honest as they come from an area that gets very little precipitation and doesn't use road salt. If there are any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate. If I failed to capture some detail on video that you'd like to see, ask and I'll do what I can to provide all photographic or videographic information possible. Thanks for reading/watching, and happy bidding!

Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.

Americans certainly have a fondness for pickup trucks with the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado frequently being among the top sellers each month, and that attachment is famously strong in the Lone Star State. We already saw Chevrolet unveil its Colorado Sport concept at the State Fair of Texas. Not to be outdone, Toyota debuted its new the 2015 Tundra Bass Pro Shops Off-Road Edition there, as well.
All of the Tundras use a 4x4 CrewMax SR5 configuration with the Tow Package, and they all come with Toyota's 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and a six-speed automatic gearbox. What actually sets these vehicles off as the Bass Pro Shops special edition is the 20-inch matte black wheels, tubular side steps, a spray-on bedliner, stainless steel exhaust tips and fender flares. To promote the connection with the store, there are Bass Pro Shops-branded floor mats and company decals on the bed. Of course, pickups are meant to get used, and to make sure of that, buyers also receive a package containing fishing, hunting, camping or marine gear worth about $1,000.
The special edition trucks will only be available in the Gulf States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas beginning this October, and they'll carry a price of $43,975.

The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.
