Here is your chance to buy the legend. 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. 1982 - one of the most coveted years for FJ40's ever!! I can't believe I'm actually selling this bad boy. This may be one of your last chances to purchase such an awesome machine. These vehicles continue to climb in value and are getting harder and harder to find, especially in this type of condition. 

It has the original bulletproof inline six cylinder 2F motor with 134k original miles. It has an Aqualu aluminum tub that was installed about 8 or 9 years ago, according to the previous owner. Last year my Cruiser mechanic and I went through the entire motor and rebuilt and replaced a huge amount of parts. We replaced the front and rear motor mounts, radiator fan, all new heating, cooling, and emission hoses, rebuilt the carburetor and distributor, new spark plugs and wires, fuel pump, fixed all oil leaks and replaced gaskets and seals, replaced the clutch master cylinder, replaced the heater blower resistor (to enable the low fan setting for the heater). All OEM Toyota parts were utilized whenever possible.

In addition to the engine work, we also reupholstered the front seats with Cruiser Corps covers, provided a new dash cap cover, installed a new radio delete plate, replaced the brake, gas and clutch pedal pads, overhauled a new (used) set of 5 OEM Toyota rims with Toyota OEM paint and OEM Toyota chrome center caps, installed a brand new ARB front bumper with an overhauled Warn 8274 winch that works great, including new bumper gussets, installed a Man-a-Fre rear swing out tire carrier with cooler carrier, hitch and Hi-Lift jack attachment, aftermarket mirrors, OEM fuel cap, OEM rear seat straps, OEM Toyota emblems, rear heater lines, and jack and jack rod clips (I realize they were not ’82 specific but work and look great nonetheless). Tires are 31x10.5x15 BFG A/T with excellent tread, although the spare is fairly worn.

The Cruiser starts and runs great. The only known issues with the Cruiser are that the hardtop does have some spots of rust and needs a new headliner. I have a brand new headliner ready to install that will go with the Cruiser. The white on the hardtop is not OEM Toyota and will need to be updated to match the wheels and bezel. There is also a leak in the front driver side knuckle and I also have the rebuild kit that will also go with the Cruiser. I just didn’t have time to install. There is also a small leak between the transmission and transfer case that is very common with the FJ40’s.

I also have a lot of extra parts that will be included with the sale: Aqualu tailgate for when the ambulance doors are removed, fuel door cover with retainer bracket, bikini top with sunroof with all hardware, additional OEM radiator, aftermarket chrome front bumper, extra Toyota brown jack (for all you purists out there), OEM spare tire carrier (gray), radio antenna, aftermarket cup holder, Toyota touch up paint, and a box of additional nuts and bolts.

All in all this FJ40 is in great shape and turns heads wherever it goes. I have additional photos that I can email upon request. It is a 30+ year old vehicle and is in used condition and is being sold AS IS. I am only asking what I have invested in the Cruiser and it is a no reserve auction. Don’t miss your chance to own the last of one of the greatest vehicles ever made. Please email any questions prior to bidding. The vehicle is located in Northwest Colorado but could be delivered to the SLC or Portland, OR for an additional shipping fee. Please confirm prior to bidding. Please take care of my baby!!

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Toyota Auris gets new Touring Sports variant

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Toyota showed off the Touring Sports version of the Auris next to the newly introduced Auris Hybrid at last year's Paris Motor Show, but didn't say much about it. Six months later, just ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, the company is crowing about that wagon going on sale with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, creating the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
The hauling version of the exceptionally popular Auris hatchback doesn't just add a hybrid wagon to the compact segment, Toyota says it offers class-leading load capacity of 1,658 liters with the Easy-Flat one-touch rear seats down. With the rear seats up, it offers 530 liters. The little big gulp is possible because the hybrid batteries have been placed under the rear seats instead of being in the luggage area.
It looks the same as the hatchback save for the fact that it's 285 millimeters (11.2 inches) longer behind the C pillar, has a redesigned tailgate and a lower load floor. Engines beyond the hybrid will match the rest of the lineup: 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel. There's a chance we'll see it in Geneva, if we don't there's a press release below to tell you all about it.
