1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.

I've been restoring this vehicle since April of 2013 and it has turned out far better than I expected. I've gone to great lengths to keep it as stock as possible. I've replaced or restored almost every part of this vehicle. It runs excellent and drives strong.

Key items that people usually ask about:

Original Toyota 2F Straight 6-Cyl engine.
Original Toyota transmission and t-case.
Does not have Power Steering or AC.
Dune Beige paint code 416.
New seat upholstery.
New BF Goodrich MT 33x10.50 x 15 tires. No more than 20 miles are on these tires.
All hardware is brand new and done in stainless steel.
Spectre air intake assembly.
124,812 original miles. Odometer currently reads 24,812.

Restoration Process:

This vehicle started with very little rust. I broke down the entire vehicle, sent every piece to the sand blaster (there's a pic or two of sandblasted parts), personally sanded every part, etched, primed and then sent all parts to a local body/paint shop for professional final body and paint work. The vehicle is rust free, straight and flat. The paint is beautiful, shiny, brilliant and vibrant in color. (There are a couple pics that show the progress of the restoration).

The interior has a professional Hippo liner in the base tub from the real seal to the front fire wall. The Hippo liner is rubberized and color injected (not painted on top of the liner). The liner deadens sound and can take a beating. The color exactly matches the rest of the vehicle. The seats are professional upholstered and done in black.

As you can see from the pics there are too many parts to list that I purchased new for this restoration. From top to bottom this baby is new and fully functional. All gauges and components of the electrical system are operational. Drive train is strong. Windows are operational. Doors seal tightly and all have new weatherstripping. I even completely disassembled the rear license plate holder and made sure it was working.

I can't think of anything else this land cruiser needs. You are getting a stunning vehicle at half of the cost a professional restoration house would charge you.

Conditions for Purchase:

I require $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction. I take wire transfer or bank check. Once I verify the deposit, I will overnight the title to you. Once you receive title, you have 5 working days to get me the remaining balance. Im willing to help arrange shipping of the FJ40 or hold it for two weeks while shipping and/or pick up arrangements are made.

I've used this method of collecting payment/delivery of the title & vehicle many times. I works great. Please do NOT ask me to use PayPal - they only protect the buyer and give no insurance to the seller. Not to mention they take 3% of the sale.

Questions & Seller Note:

I've restored a few FJ40's in my day and take great pride in the restoration. With that said, I don't do this for a living - it's just a hobby. The vehicle is not perfect - if it were you would be buying it from Cool Cruisers or ICON and be paying over $50k for the vehicle. I've never had a complaint from anyone who bought an FJ40 from me. I make sure they are completely happy and I've maintained a lot of friendships across the country from my transactions. Please call me to talk about the FJ40 and/or to make me an offer. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. The vehicle is for sale as-is.

Contact Info:

I respond very quickly to a phone call or text to Dan 801-556-9399. You're welcome to email through eBay but it might take me a few hours to respond. Additionally, I will tell you that my last FJ40 sale people hesitated to click the "Buy It Now" button. The vehicle sold to someone who called me and finalized the deal over the phone and I ended the auction early. Afterwords, I had over 10 people call me and ask me if it sold and had regrets they did not click the "Buy it Now" button. My price is fair given the quality and detail of this restoration and how it compares to others on the market. Thank you and good luck!

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.
