1978 Toyota FJ40 Land CruiserRestored FJ40 Land Cruiser 4WD 4.2L 4 Speed/ Fuel Injected!! /Factory Dune Beige Color Vehicle InfoExterior/Body- The body on this 1978 FJ40 is almost all new. The following have been replaced:
Engine- This FJ40 has the original straight 6 in it with low miles (around 110k miles). The really nice thing about this engine is the fuel injection. There is a TBI injection kit from Man-a-fre. This kit is solid and has run really well for me, it runs well because I took the time to buy all the necessary parts i.e. painless wiring harness, all new sensors, brand new electronic distributor etc. To make it run like it should I had Howell EFI burn a computer chip especially for this FJ40. There is nothing like getting into this Cruiser and having it crank right up and go. Also the gas mileage is around ~18 MPG depending how heavy your foot is. Other than that all systems in the engine have been properly sorted. Finally, if the buyer would like the old parts to convert this back to a carb I have those and will include them upon request. Overall this is great running LandCruiser Interior- As you can see from the pictures the front seats have been recovered and are in new condition. When I was replacing the seat covers I installed heated seat elements in the Driver and passenger seats. These are great for those cold mornings- definitely what every Cruiser should have. There is a factory original jump seat in the back and the original cover is in good shape. Audio System- I have replaced the front radio with a good quality JVC unit some Pioneer 6x9's in boxes in the back along with a bazooka sub in the back. It has a great sound with the top on or off. Winch- Included with the truck is the venerable Warn 8274. It runs really well and has a remote that is in great condition. I put a custom from bumper on to mount the winch it gives the truck a great recovery option and looks great. Power Steering- I had the GM/Saginaw conversion done, it is clean and looks like it has always been there. There is no "strong arming" yourself around the road. It is the only way to go with an FJ40 plus it tightens up the steering by removing all the sloppy factory joints. Lift Kit- Overall there is 5 inches of lift on this truck. It is sprung under using Hell Creek 4" leaf springs and +1 inch Ruff Stuff shackles. I have also installed Bilstein 5100 series shocks. Tire size is 35x12.5 R17 running in American Racing Mojave wheels. Questions- Feel free to ask me any questions, I will respond as quickly as I can.

Toyota launches new Noah, Voxy minivans in Japan [w/videos]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014We know the feeling: you've got what seems like your whole bloodline to transport, and maybe not quite two of every living kind, but a household pet or two. So you're going to need something big to fit them all. Something like a Toyota Sienna ought to do the trick. But if you live on an Asian island that, we're sorry to say, has been known to flood in what can only be referred to as an Act of God but whose vehicles fall short of such biblical proportions, at least you can get one with a suitably biblical name. (And an awesome one at that, if this writer may say so.)
That would be Noah, the name Toyota gives to its JDM minivan. It's also known as the Voxy, and Toyota has just revealed new versions of both. Previewed in concept form at the recent Tokyo Motor Show, the production Noah and Voxy have been completely redesigned. The boxy form allows for as many as eight seats and a low, flat-folding cargo floor to accommodate your whole clan and all the stuff you could buy from Uniqlo and Muji with the roomiest interior in its class.
Toyota is offering both with a variety of gasoline and hybrid powertrain configurations driving the front wheels or all four through a continuously variable transmission in a range of trim levels starting from 2.18 million yen (equivalent to $20,952 at today's rates) to 3.4 million yen ($32,694). The Voxy is sold through Toyota's network of Netz dealerships across Japan, and the Noah through its parallel Corolla dealers. Along with the pair of video clips and the high-res image galleries top and bottom, there are plenty of details in the press release below, where you can read more about the flexible seating arrangements and all the latest tech. Just don't expect to be reading dimensions measured in cubits and construction from gopher wood.
Toyota pondering high-performance GT86 hybrid?
Fri, 08 Mar 2013From what Autocar has to say, Toyota has even more plans for the GT86 beyond the convertible concept we just saw at the Geneva Motor Show. Along with a planned midcycle facelift, Toyota is reportedly looking at how to pack some extra ponies under the coupe's hood, and while there has already been a lot of talk about superchargers and turbochargers, it sounds like a performance-boosting hybrid system could also be in the works.
Talking to Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, Autocar has learned that the automaker is considering an electrical motor assist for the sporty coupe to improve performance without harming fuel economy. In attempting to keep weight - and, presumably, costs - down, the article mentions the use of a system closer to what Honda uses for its Integrated Motor Assist rather than a full Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in current Toyota hybrids. Tada says the added weight of the system could be offset by weight reduction, while aerodynamic changes and a lower center of gravity could improve the car's handling.
No word yet on whether a mild hybrid system would find its way to North America's Scion FR-S - let alone its Subaru BRZ twin - but the thought is certainly an intriguing one.
Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
