This beautiful Heath Grey 1974 FJ43 is sold to a client in Florida. Volcan 4x4, LLC is sourcing, restoring and exporting these rare and desirable trucks out of Colombia. We are taking orders for FJ43s in the $30,000 to $60,000 range.
We have sold a 1981 FJ43 and a 1974 FJ43 to date. We are working on our 9th truck since starting the business in early 2014. We have a 1982 FJ43 and a 1978 FJ43 in process. These are high end trucks that will likely go to the auctions. We are located in Tampa, Florida and also Medellin, Colombia where we contract with various Land Cruiser specialists to purchase and restore FJ43s. The best FJ43 models come from Colombia as they are Left Hand Drive and rust free. The FJ43 is a rare FJ model. It has a 5 inch longer wheelbase than the FJ40 and a few more inches along the rear tub. This gives the truck a superior ride than the FJ40 and a great stance. The FJ43s are typically 7 to 9 passengers also. All the mechanical parts are interchangeable with the FJ40. The FJ43s are rare in the US with auction prices for the top trucks approaching $80,000. Volcan 4x4, LLC can source you a pre-1979 FJ43 starting at $30,000. Volcan 4x4 is on its 9th truck since launching the business in early 2014 with our over $50,000 frame off 1983 FJ40 that was featured at Mecum Auctions in Orlando 2014. Owner Charlie Guy is a bilingual US citizen and purchases each truck in Colombia. I personally review each truck along with my mechanic and paint/body specialist. I typically look at 10 trucks for every truck that I purchase. I personally oversee all the restoration work with my subcontractors to ensure each truck reaches "Volcan 4x4" level of quality. Each truck typically undergoes a 30 day overhaul including thorough mechanical review, new tires, shocks, exhaust, new paint and interior. We take advantage of the high quality knowledgeable specialists in Colombia before we export the trucks. The trucks are unique in that the some may require more paint work for instance or others mechanical work. The end result for every truck however is a rare, rust free, high quality Volcan 4x4 classic truck that has been reviewed and overhauled recently by professional mechanics and paint/body work specialists. We are focusing now specifically on bringing in high quality frame on restored FJ43s. Why buy an FJ40 when you can buy a restored FJ43 that is more rare and more valuable in the US? This 1974 Heath Grey FJ43 is an example of the work we just completed. A client contacted us in early June with interest in a FJ43 in subdued color. She preferred the earlier models with the painted inside metal doors. We had a Colombian seller client in mind and very quickly went and purchased the truck once she sent Volcan 4x4, LLC a deposit to our Florida bank. We shipped the truck from Bogota to our shop in Medellin, Colombia and performed a 30 day overhaul including mechanical overview, extensive paint work, and new AC installation. Many upgrades included details such as preserving and repairing the 40 year old original seat vinyl and installing a dome light and new door gaskets. As of August 1st the truck is now in the Port of Miami awaiting shipment to Tampa, Florida. The client takes delivery of her one of a kind truck August 20th. You can find Volcan 4x4 on youtube, Facebook and our website. I have leads on several 1978 FJ43s with the 2F and 4 speed starting at $30,000. If you have been following the market for classic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s you know that they are increasing in value and gaining a lot of interest. What you may not know is that Colombia is becoming the source for classic FJ40s and even more so the ONLY source for rare FJ43s. Volcan 4x4, LLC is now working on its 4th FJ43 this year and we are quickly becoming THE source for these great trucks. Please contact us with interest in a Volcan 4x4. You could be driving a rare, restored FJ43 within a few months time. Thank you, Charlie Guy |

Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Toyota reveals latest autonomous tech test bed
Fri, Mar 3 2017Toyota revealed its latest autonomous technology effort Friday, a sophisticated Lexus LS 600hL prototype that showcases its plans to advance in the emerging field. The Lexus is the first developed entirely by the company's in-house Toyota Research Institute and it will focus on the car's ability to learn and see behavior on the road. Toyota is showing the car at the Prius Challenge event at Sonoma Raceway. The Lexus uses Lidar, radar, and sensors, which potentially reduce reliance on mapping. The prototype advances Toyota's last concept vehicle shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2013. This one is said to be more flexible and it will focus on Toyota's two autonomous tech pillars, called Guardian and Chauffeur. Guardian is meant to improve safety features, while Chauffeur moves toward full autonomy. "We believe Guardian can probably be deployed sooner and more widely than Chauffeur, providing high-level driver-assist features capable of helping mitigate collisions and save lives, sooner rather than later," Toyota Research Institute Gill Pratt said in a statement.
