Location:
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
I am the third owner of this FJ40 that is original except for the wheels. I have eight orginal hubcaps, but the wheels I had were taken from a storage shed. I have the original invoice saved by the first owner, a doctor who lived in Casper Wyoming and used this vehicle as his hunting rig, which he stored in a barn on his hunting ranch. It was purchased on October 18, 1977 with the following: standard 6 cylinder engine; 4-speed transmission; 4 wheel drive/2 spd transfer; rear mounted spare tire; power front disc brakes; heavy duty steel skid plate; heavy duty battery/alternator; heavy duty heater/defroster; reinforced steel/fiberglass top/roll bar; flip-out rear quarter windows; side facing fold-up rear seats; swing-out rear doors; locking fuel fill door; rear heater; high altitude package; warn locking hubs; AM pushbutton radio; undercoating; Invoice $6,690.88 The doctor added an aftermarket air-conditioning unit that when charged cools the cabin (see picture). Additionally, the doctor added a wench to the front that runs off the transfer case, activated by a knob in the console, located just left of the headlight pull switch; CB radio; AM-FM cassette radio/player. The second owner replaced the orginal wheels with aftermarket white spoke wheels, saving the orginal wheels, which I had stolen from a storage shed. I had the exterior repainted with it's orginal color. I purchased a Spector Off-Road cover for the vehicle to cover it when it was in storage. I have had it garaged since I owned it and the second owner as well, the doctor stored it in a barn as I've already mentioned. The mileage may be questioned, but it is accurate up until the odometer stopped functioning. The vehicle was driven low miles by all owners; I have a Midas Muffler invoice from October 15, 1984, documenting the mileage at 17,450 miles (or about 2,500 miles per year, at his hunting ranch). I recall the second owner saying he'd driven it less than 3,000 miles in the years he owned it, and had shown me a letter he had from the doctor explaining and documenting the low miles. My family has driven it sparingly during the 15 years we've owned it. Four of my five kids cut their teeth driving this vehicle and now can handle a stick shift in any vehicle. She, the "Smurf" as we call her, needs an owner who wants a great classic FJ40 for fun, transportation or restoration. I just never got my cabin in the mountains to park her at... |

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view
Thu, 10 Apr 2014If 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.
Toyota Camry Dragster takes the phrase 'sleeper' to its logical extreme [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. This is certainly one of those times, as Toyota successfully trolled the entirety of the media corps at the 2014 SEMA Show by rolling an innocent-looking Camry onto the floor... only to lift literally the entirety of its body to reveal an 850-horsepower, tube-framed dragster. Well, we have been asking for a more driver-oriented Toyota.
While it's designed to go fast in a straight line, the origin of the Camry Dragster's parts might be surprising. The 5.7-liter V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics were plucked from the Toyota Tundra pickup. Toyota Racing Development donated a supercharger, while a wet-nitrous-injection system was also tacked on for that little extra something. Those goodies will help propel this anonymous looking monster through the quarter mile in just 9.8 seconds.
"This is the most extreme build we've ever unveiled at SEMA," said Toyota's motorsports chief Steve Appelbaum said in a statement. "The transformation from seemingly stock Camry to full-blown racecar just shocks the senses. Chuck Wade and the team at Motorsports Technical Center did a truly spectacular job executing the vision of this project."
