1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40

Here is a very honest solid little FJ40. Purchased in Idaho by my client in 2005 then taken immediately to TLC in Van Nuys CA to have Jonathan Ward's ICON team do full "Stage Two" mechanical inspection and refurbishment which totaled $21,411. TLC inspected and refurbished everything mechanically in need, here is a partial list of the mechanical work done: all wiring and electrics refurbished, installation of "Old Man EMU" suspension and shocks, all tie rod ends updated, R&R cylinder head resurface and overhauled, new smog legal header/manifold, oil pan gaskets and all oil hoses refreshed, ignition fully serviced and parts replaced as needed, axels spindles and wheel bearings serviced and packed, cooling system checked and refreshed hoses etc., wheel cylinders and brake linings serviced and replaced as needed, R&R clutch disc and pilot busing and rear seal, all u-joints serviced, steering arms serviced and fuel system completely refurbished, new exhaust installed.

The car remains in excellent mechanical condition today having had regular services. This FJ has had sparing street use since 2005 covering less than 5k miles. It has been garaged whilst here in the Bay Area. Paint is decent and serviceable and appears to have had only one re-spray. Interior is not fully OEM (front seats changed) but nice and sanitary. Underneath the car is excellent, no rot, no rust holes, no corrosion and very clean with only very slight surface rust in some areas. No evidence of any leakage either evidently benefit of the TLC work performed.

The truck drives great! Tight, good clutch engagement, nice non-gronchy gearbox and good power, and everything works sans a radio (note hole in dash.) Interior is very clean and nicely detailed. Top, latches, bumpers, lights, emblems wheels and tires all look very nice although tires are as replaced in 2005 and should before heavy use be refreshed. On the whole, an extremely solid, well preserved, largely OEM stock Land Cruiser 4X4 with hard top in excellent mechanical and good cosmetic condition. This is a private part consignment FJ-40 being sold "as-is" by Driveline. The truck is located here in the SF Bay Area. Inspections welcome and please call 650-261-1777 for any questions.

Mileage: T.M.U.

VIN: FJ40186094

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Toyota 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 TRD Pro lineup coming next week

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.

2015 Toyota Yaris

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Advertising firms have done an admirable job convincing consumers that the easiest way to find a best-in-segment car or truck is by looking at a few key metrics. In the most elementary terms, the vehicle with the highest horsepower, most gears in its transmission housing, lowest acceleration times and best fuel economy most certainly must be the class benchmark.
Yet as the commercials and billboards continue to drive that deceitful message, Toyota is betting shoppers in the subcompact segment are a bit more discerning. The Japanese automaker has just launched its updated 2015 Yaris, a three- and five-door offering that bucks the innovation and performance trends by offering what Toyota feels that entry-level buyers actually desire - reliability, practicality and a low sticker price.
It's sweltering in the tropical Hawaiian sun as I check out the deeply refreshed 2015 Yaris SE. This five-door hatchback, a range-topping version of the company's subcompact "sporty hatch" (Toyota's words, not mine), builds on the new-in-2012 generation by wearing new front and rear fascias, redesigned headlights and some attractive new wheels for the upcoming model year.
