I'm selling my 1976 FJ55 Toyota Land Cruiser. It's solid, clean, runs great, looks great and has been my daily driver for 3 years. A/C blows cold. Details below. Back in 2007 the body was taken down to bare metal and brought back up. You can read the details and see pictures here: http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pig-preservation-society/169838-august-potm-pigwald.html In October 2011 it was taken to Iron Pig Off Road for the following work: -

-Headlight upgrade -
-3-point seatbelts -
-Custom front seats After that I installed a custom
aluminum gas tank from Boyd Welding – the original had some rust issues. I then sent it to Urban Land Cruisers in
Atlanta to continue with the project.
They brought it to its current state and you can see
pictures of their work here: http://www.urbanlandcruisers.com/photos/?album=BrianAFJ55 Here’s what they did: -

showing a few dings here and there and some of the paint on the bumpers has
been nicked. It runs great – no issues
whatsoever and is a ton of fun to drive.
7100 miles since resto-mod. A few updates to to the listing: - rear window works great - CD player w/ AUX input inside Tuffy console, wired to alpine speakers - only load on the blue top battery is the stereo - the batter selector allows you to run both batteries in parallel - comes in handy if you need to jump yourself - the engine bay is solid - no rust issues, sprayed with raptor liner - vin tags in engine bay and on door jam were removed during painting - they're stored in the center console - the undercarriage is solid, only rust issue is surface rust where the sliders were welded 3 years ago - electrical connections for the trailer lights are not connected to the plug, they are what is seen in the gas tank picture Cheers, Brian |

1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M
Fri, 10 May 2013Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.
Toyota builds world's first 'outdoor website' for RAV4 promo
Thu, 08 Aug 2013This whole thing started with the premise that Toyota's target RAV4 buyers are people who spend their time cycling, hiking, and generally not in front of computer screens. These people are therefore not able to benefit from the full website experience that Toyota has built for the RAV4. We should clarify that the video below is for Toyota South Africa, and maybe RAV4 buyers there really are the disgustingly outdoorsy ideal that us bacon-eaters are not living up to.
Toyota's agency partner, Hello Computer, set up a 1.8-kilometer track at a cycle park that replicated sections of the automaker's website with real physical displays and interactive feedback. Riders were asked to leave their mouses and hit the trail on a mountain bike to experience the RAV4 Outdoor Website and learn about the vehicle.
That seems like a lot of effort for something that's available on the smartphones of these hyper-active people who aren't in front of computers, but hooray for creatively conquering a problem that didn't exist. Hey, let's not be complete wet blankets - maybe some of the cyclists that ran the Toyota gauntlet got a RAV4 for their to- and fro-ing after the experience. Check out the video of the outdoor website below.
Toyota produces millionth truck in Texas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013After going online in 2006, Toyota's San Antonio, Texas truck plant has just built its one-millionth vehicle, the 2014 Tundra 1794 Edition you see above. The plant originally focused on just the Tundra pickup, but the smaller Tacoma started rolling off the line there in 2010, as well.
Fittingly, the 1794 Edition (a new premium trim level for 2014) pays homage to the property on which the Toyota plant now resides - a ranch that was founded in 1794. Scroll down for the official press release for the plant's milestone, and be sure to check out the full gallery of Tundra 1794 Edition images as well.
