1981 Toyota Fj 40 Original on 2040-cars
Nampa, Idaho, United States
|
This is a good mostly original 81 FJ40 with 55000 actual miles. About 1200 of the early miles were when it was towed behind a motor home. It was originally Texas bought and owned. A commercial pilot bought it new, and towed it around for several years. My brother-in-law bought it to use on his farm down there, but drove it little as a ATF served his needs better. I bought it from him in the 1990's. I'd have to dig out the title to find out for sure.it spend the summer months at my cabin in the mountains, and at my friends ranch in the winter. It was never used but about 10 times in the winter. Many years it was driven about 300 miles per year driving it back and fourth, and sat unused for months at a time. When I bought it my brother-in-law gave me some parts too do away with the emission controls. This included an exhaust header. I put on all of what I was given and stored the original emission items as there was no emission checks at that time. Recently about 2 years ago they began emission testing in my area, and it would not pass the test. I had long since gotten rid of the original items. To get around this, it is licensed as a classic because it appears original, and it is driven seldom. The running gear is all stock, the top has never been taken off. The brakes are still factory original. The interior looks great, however, I had the driver's seat reupholstered recently. One winter when I took it close to my cabin in winter. I snowmobiled in. When I came back out 2 days later it was 27 below zero. When I got in to the Toyota, the seat was stiff and the upholstery on the seat cracked in several areas. Believe it or not but the Land Cruiser started up, and I drove it 120 miles home. It has never been wrecked, except for the damaged area on the left rear part of the front fender, and area under the right door as shown. The photo of the left front fender shows some heavy rust. 15 or so years ago, it has previously rusted in the same area. I took the fender off and had it sanded and repainted at a local body shop. Several years later it began rusting in the same places. Several years ago the rear cargo area floor mat got wet some how, and it wasn't moved for over a year. At that time, I took the mat out to sweep in out, and the floor underneath had a lot of rust. I took it and had it sandblasted, and it was sealed with an anti-rust compound. I painted over that 6 coats of tan paint. I am certain that it will not rust there again. Also the floor next to the driver's heel has some rust I just noticed, along was a few other small areas on the right rear door. I believe that I have posted photos of the bad spots. It isn't as nice as if it had been stored inside, but it is pretty much original except the winch, and working aftermarket air conditioner. It wouldn't hurt to put on a set of tires, and then it could be driven anywhere at highways speeds. It runs, and drives very well. Email for more information if needed, although I am slow to answer at times. I need $1000.00 non refundable within 5 days of auction close. You can come and drive it home, or you could have it trailered or shipped. It needs too be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close.

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership
Mon, May 11 2015Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Toyota Harrier gets a whale of a facelift [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX - at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically. That appears to be changing with this just-revealed new generation at the Tokyo Motor Show.
That's because this two-row, five-seat Toyota is in possession of a bold new look, dominated by a jutting, baleen-like grille edged in chrome, along with new headlamps and fascia. The greenhouse has likewise been revamped and gotten more pointed at the rump, which has new taillights, a resurfaced tailgate and a faux rear diffuser. Were it to be ported over to North American Lexus dealers intact, the Harrier's look would be jarring in light of the brand's spindle-grille-based design language, so we suspect that if the RX gets any of these updates (it was just refreshed for 2013), it will strike out on a different path visually.
Unlike the US RX, the new Harrier will rely on smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines, namely a 2.0-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission or a 2.5-liter four backed up by an electric motor. We'd like to see a smaller-displacement option for the US RX (it presently runs with 3.5-liter V6 engines in both gas-only and hybrid guise), but suspect it won't arrive until the next all-new model.
