Want to crush my dreams? Buy this fantastic FJ40. I'm military and have moved to a new house without a garage. The wife says it has to go even though I had every intention for keeping this for the rest of my life.

It is a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40- Extensive professional restoration completed in April of 2010.

Under the hood- The original 2F inline six cylinder engine was completely rebuilt by Mack Weld (highly respected builder) using top quality components including factory intake and exhaust valves, dome pistons etc. The Block was bored .30 over and the heads milled to perfection, then balanced and blue printed. The valve cover, intake manifold, and thermostat housing were all media blasted then powder coated for great looks and a durable finish. A Man-A-Fre hi performance kit was added, including ceramic coated two piece headers, complete exhaust, a 38 mm Weber carburetor with an electric choke, K&N hi flow air filter, HEI distributor/ coil, and top of the line spark plugs and wires. Finished with all new hoses, water pump, Performance Cooling all aluminum radiator, chrome overflow container, fuel pump, battery and much more. The motor has less than 5000 miles on it since the rebuild, proper break in procedures have been followed.

Steering- Heavy duty and very tight Saginaw power steering and axle mounted dampener used in conjunction with a shackle reversal kit provide a safer and more controlled driving experience. Axles/suspension/ tires - Factory axles with 4:10 gear ratio, and disc brake front end. Rebuilt Warn hubs, new brake pads. Outer bearings checked and repacked with synthetic grease. 4” lift springs from TPI and greaseable anti-inversion shackles. 35x12.5x15 B.F. Goodrich Mud terrains mounted on white spoke steel wheels. The Factory 4speed transmission and transfer case are in excellent condition, it shifts with ease and no slop. All fluids in the cases and axles have been replaced with synthetic blend fluids.

Body- Excellent rust free body from Arizona that has been repainted in high gloss single stage acrylic (better than factory) in the factory beige color (code 464). The undercarriage is coated with rust prohibiting paint and 3M undercoating. The fender wells, underside of the hood, and engine compartment are coated with an extra layer of 3M rocker panel guard type material that reduces chips, heat, and noise. The interior floor has been coated with a heavy duty textured liner that is far more durable than paint. It has the factory roll bar, and factory front and rear bumpers. Rear fender flares help protect the paint from debris thrown from the tires and allow extra clearance for the tires while articulating off road. Stainless steel bolts, door hinge pins, and washers are used throughout the vehicle. They make it easier to make adjustments, and to take the top and doors off without chipping the paint off of the bolts and surrounding paint. All of the seals needed to take the hard top on or off were replaced with new factory seals. New factory emblems too!

Interior- The front and rear jump seats are in perfect condition with new pads, hardware, seat belts, and covers from Spector off road. All new door seals. It has a new dash cover and a new headliner. All of the gauges, lights (selectable rear lights, upgraded interior and headlights), vents, door locks, and blowers work perfectly. This Land Cruiser comes with the original owners manual and has an extensive file of receipts that document the restoration.

It is extraordinarily expensive to restore a vintage Land Cruiser to this standard. I have the original tire carrier and the original back jump seats (all items included in sale). I replaced the jump seats with a bench seat so I could drive the kids around (they love it!). I also added seat belts to the bench seat. There is no radio or A/C! A lot of people ask... yes it easily does highway speeds (I just would not personally get this vehicle if you plan on going on the highway for long distances). I seldom have taken it on the highway and it has not seen any serious off road duty. Top has never been off.

While this FJ40 is not perfect, it is a fantastic by for the money. I would prefer to sell this to someone that can come take a look at it. Thanks for looking!

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000

Sat, 05 Jan 2013

After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."
