1974 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40 Land Cruiser 6cyl 4 Speed Great Truck on 2040-cars
Im selling my 1974 Toyota Landcruiser fj40. its a great truck. I have owned it for about 7 months and it has been my daily driver the whole time. I am moving to brooklyn and well... it cant come.
It was restored by the previous owner about 10 years ago and after that he only drove it on nice sundays. It has the original drive train. inline 6cyl motor, 4 speed manual transmission, 4x4 transfercase. I just had the cylinder head completely rebuilt, brand new valves, seats, guides, springs. re-machined and cleaned. new head gasket and headbolts. fresh tune up. At the same time i had the carborator rebuilt. total just for parts and machining for this all was over $1200. Truck runs great. Has a slight exhaust leak. transmission shifts perfect. 4X4 works perfect. Truck does not have power steering. Interior is in pretty good shape. Odometer doesnt work and cigerette lighter too. every other knob and gauge works. It has a brand new custom oak dask board with cupholders ( I needed those). It has jump seats in the back. To make it a better daily driver I Sound proofed the truck. in the front i installed cruiser crap sound deadener and in the back I installed FAT MAT. Before i did this I lined the whole floor with Grizzly grip roll on liner. When i re-installed the top after winter, I put new weatherstripping between the top and body. And also on top of the windshield and the windows. The Truck has 32x11.50 x 15 tires It has Manual locking hubs It has an Optima red top battery. It has a custom speaker box with a Cd player above the sunvisers. Very well made and sounds very good. When the P/O restored it, He used CoolCruisers very thick replacement panels and rear sill. The Body is very solid. There is rust spot forming. nothing to serious but could use attention. along the front fenders it is starting to bubble. The P/O had the hardtop shipped to him and the way they strapped it down rubbed the paint off in 2 spots on back. The back has a custom swing down tailgate. It is a different color then the rest of the vehicle. There is Scratches and dings so dont expect a perfect vehicle. Im sure there is somethings I am forgetting to write. If you have an questions JUST ask! If you would like to come and see the vehicle, contact me and we will arrange for it. |

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner
Mon, 20 May 2013If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.
Subaru Indiana plant to stop building Toyota Camry
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Subaru 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.
Toyota GT86 gets TRD treatment in UK
Fri, 08 Feb 2013As dearly as we love the Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ franchise, we readily admit we wouldn't look sideways at a model with a bit more firepower. And while that's not quite on the table yet, Toyota has been busy amping up the visual firepower of its rear-drive coupe with a whole host of TRD parts. To this point, that's been a largely à la carte affair, but the automaker's UK outpost has just announced a special-edition model that allows our British friends to pick up the whole shooting match all in one go.
The Toyota GT86 TRD will only be available in black and white, and just 250 examples are to be built. As you can see from the excellent gallery above, the catalog of look-faster bits include a more aggressive front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, spoiler and unique 18-inch forged alloys. Additional flourishes include a TRD shift lever and branded radiator cap. The sole concession to actual performance? A "fast-response quad exhaust" that might only improve things audibly - 0-62 mph is apparently unchanged at 7.7 seconds, and the top end is still 140 mph for the manual transmission model. (The auto gets by with 8.4 seconds and 130 mph).
Pricing? Glad you asked. £31,495 for GT 86 TRD manual, £32,995 for the automatic - that's nearly $50,000 US for the tripedalist and just over for the automatic. (Those are heady prices, but bear in mind that UK MSRPs and taxes are generally significantly higher than their US counterparts). If the standard GT86 is more your speed, it still rings up at a more affordable £24,995 - roughly $39,500 - leaving plenty of budget for actual performance parts. No word yet on North American availability of a special TRD model, but we've got a call in...
