This is a one of a kind 1978 Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser. It features a 1989 TPI Fuel injected 350 (5.7) with an automatic overdrive 700r4 transmisison connected to the stock toyota transfer case. The axles are beefy FJ units. The engine has been modified slightly with Twisted Wedge heads, a small cam, full stainless exhaust with headers, and a K&N air filter. The exhaust is dual 2.5" into a single 3", all stainless, with a Borla muffler. Cooling duties are handles by a Griffin aluminum radiator. Fuel injection makes the car start up with the turn of a key, even if its 20 below in the middle of winter. No messing about with un-reliable carburetors. This car has been proven reliable over many years of service, there are no bugs to be worked out. This is a turn key driver.

The FJ was restored from the frame up around 1998, and no expense was spared. The car was originally from California and was a NO RUST car to start with. It was stored indoors for most of its post restoration life, and it shows very well.The frame was sand blasted and painted with PPG DP-90 primer and an epoxy paint top coat. The body tub was blasted, painted, and then coated with Rhino Liner, both inside the tub, and underneath. The exterior of the body was painted a brilliant yellow. The top has the drop rails shaved to remove road noise and make a sleeker look.

The suspension was upgraded to cross-over steering with a GM steering box, and the shackles were swapped to the rear for a much more stable ride. Rancho shocks on all four corners dampen out the ride, and BF-Goodrich Mud terrain T/A on Center Line rims provide the grip. The tires are size 33x12.5x15.

The interior features the instrument cluster molded into the dash-board, from the 1989 Iroc Camaro, the same one the engine and transmission were sourced from. The miles listed on the cluster are original to the engine and trans (83,000 approx). A B&M ratchet shifter controls the gears. After-market bucket seats make the front comfortable for driver and passenger, and the rear features a fold away jump seat for extra passengers. A CD player provides the noise when you don't want to listen to the borla exhaust. The engine is fitted with an air conditioning compressor and condenser up front, and just needs the evaporator unit to be added to have functioning A/C.

The reserve price is slightly less than the buy it now price, for those who are going to ask...

2014 Toyota 4Runner priced at $32,820*

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Toyota has announced pricing on its facelifted 2014 4Runner. The rough-and-tumble SUV will be available in three grades: base SR5, upmarket Limited and off-road-ready Trail. Depending on the trim level, buyers will have the choice of rear-drive or one of two different four-wheel drive systems. The sole engine is Toyota's 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower V6.
Entry-level buyers can get an SR5 for $32,820. That includes 17-inch wheels, fabric seats and Toyota's Entune infotainment system. Adding four-wheel drive bumps the price by $2,920, while the Premium Package (SofTex faux leather seats, navigation, sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors and power passenger seat) adds $1,875. All model prices listed do not include $860 for destination and tax.
The Trail starts at $35,725, while the Trail Premium bumps the price to $38,645, adding the same suite of equipment found on the SR5. While it boasts the same standard equipment as the SR5, the Trail is better suited for going off road. A multi-terrain response system comes standard, as does hill-start assist and Toyota's Crawl Control. For an extra sum, buyers can opt for the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which automatically disconnects the sway bars for better articulation and trail holding.

Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F

Thu, Sep 10 2015

The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.
