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!

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Toyota recalls 209,000 FJ Cruisers over seatbelt issue

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a substantial recall of the FJ Cruiser for a problem that could cause the front seatbelt retractors to separate from the vehicle body. This recall will apply to all FJ Cruisers - from 2007 through 2013 - totaling around 209,000 units.
The problem stems from the FJ Cruiser's pillarless door opening design that has the front-occupant seatbelts attached to the rear doors. Toyota says that when the rear doors are "repeatedly and forcefully closed," the retractor could completely separate from the door frame.
While there is no information about this recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration yet, Toyota says that there have been no accidents or injuries associated with this issue. No specific fix or recall date are given, but the official press release is posted below.
