1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Last Summer I put a lot of money and time in this Cruiser, I had a Cruiser Specialty shop in Everett do most of the work. It runs great and is really fun to drive. I just don't use it as much as I hoped to. When I brought the car in they replaced every gasket on the engine, replaced the hoses and belts and Spark Plugs. The carb was rebuilt and tuned up. New Motor mounts as well as a new exhaust from the engine to the tailpipe. They removed the Fuel tank and cleaned it out. Replacing the fuel pump and filter with a newer more reliable electric Holley pump. The Sender also got replaced and a new reliable gauge mounted on the dash. I didnt want to leave any suspension piece not rebuilt. So I had them replace all of the bushings and tie rods. At the same time we replaced the Leaf Springs and Shocks with a lift kit. I had them install a FJ60 Power Steering box so it was easier to drive. The Front and Rear Differentials were also rebuilt. New Axle Bearings and Seals, Rebuilt breaks a 4 new tires. The truck rides really nice and smooth. It Starts easy and the blue paint looks awesome. I had the Front fenders repainted because they had a lot of rock chips over the years. At the same time I had a little rust repaired on the Hard top. Can't even tell it was there. The original Seats were very uncomfortable, they installed modern and comfortable BMW Bucket seats up front. Then recovered the rear seats to match the leather. I powder coated the frames also. Up front we put in Shoulder harnesses. As you can see I wanted to restore the running gear so it would be reliable and safe. I have 13k in receipts I can provide upon request. All of this was done in July of last year (2013). I only drove the car a few hundred miles afterwards. The car currently has 82,300 miles I own the car outright with no liens or loans. I also have the Title in Hand! -Mike |

Toyota makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
2014 Toyota Aygo is so cross with itself
Mon, 03 Mar 2014It almost made it, but images of the redesigned Toyota Aygo have leaked ahead of its official debut at tomorrow's Geneva Motor Show. The new Aygo sports an aggressive look overall with a, um, mark on its face.
That distinguishing design feature aside, we quite like the angular headlights and muscular overall look of this little city car. The gaping trapezoidal air intake make the Aygo look more substantial, while swollen rear wheel arches hint at something sportier than your standard commuter device.
Sportiness, though, isn't likely to be a big part of the Aygo. As it's built on the same platform as the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, we should expect the same pair of gas-powered engines, which means at best, the Toyota will come to market with 82 horsepower under hood.
