1982 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40 HARDTOP
Timeless Toyota Quality and Original
California Vehicle Simple, Classic, and Tough I purchased
this vehicle from its previous owner in March of 2010. The vehicle was sold new in 1982 at a local
dealership in Anaheim, California and retains its original blue CA license
plates. Over the
last four years of ownership, I have invested countless hours and thousands of
dollars on the cruiser to bring it to its current condition. The cruiser was kept in dry storage for many
years and was covered with dust after sitting in a large wood working shop. The cruiser
wears its original paint color also known as Toyota Beige (464). The exterior of the truck looks great from 5
feet away. At some point in its life,
the driver’s side appears to have had some paint and body work which must have
been completed several years ago as the vehicle maintains its retro orange pin
striping throughout. There are various
areas on the driver’s side where the paint is beginning to chip. I removed the fiberglass cap, front bezel
and had the five original steel wheels sandblasted, power coated and
professionally painted using PPG paint in Toyota White (033). Next, I had the headliner installed by a
local upholstery shop using a factory reproduction headliner sold by Specter
Off Road. While the top was off, I proceeded
to install new OEM weather stripping for both the fiberglass cap and hard
top. A reproduction front bumper was
painted using Cruiser Corps OEM Pewter paint and two new OEM Toyota bumperettes
were fitted in the rear. The interior
of the cruiser is in great shape. The
front and rear factory floor mats are in good shape as are the front and rear
jump seats. The driver’s seat bottom
appears to have been re-covered with matching grey vinyl. All seat belts are present and
functional. All switches, knobs and
controls appear to be working as they should.
The dash and sun visors are in good condition. The front door panels have been altered to
fit aftermarket speakers which are not connected at this time. In addition, an aftermarket Audiovox AM/FM
cassette player was installed in the factory location. The center console is original and has a
small crack on the ashtray. The vehicle has no A/C or Power Steering. The front floorboards are rust free and the
rear cargo area has only surface rust typical of the felt underlayment material
used under the rear factory rubber floor mat.
There are two small spots of corrosion below the ‘Toyota’ emblem on the
passenger rear quarter panel (see photos).
The underbody and frame are in good condition and free of major rust or
corrosion for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically,
the vehicle has plenty of power and runs strong. The 4-Speed transmission shifts smoothly and
the 4WD functions as it should. The
odometer reads just over 126k miles (4k average for its 32 years of life). Recently, a valve adjustment, valve cover
gasket, and steering arm were installed by Mark’s Off Road Enterprises in
Burbank, CA. I have had the carb rebuilt several
times. The first rebuild was completed by
Mark’s Off Road and the second rebuild was completed by the same shop used by
Specter Off Road (SOR) in order to pass strict California emissions
standards. This is a California model
and retains all factory smog and emissions hoses and equipment. Next, a new exhaust manifold gasket was
fitted. The cruiser has a new catalytic
converter and newer exhaust and muffler.
The truck appears to have a 2-inch suspension and anti-inversion
shackles which were also installed by the previous owner. The front axle was rebuilt and the front
knuckles have been serviced. Also, a
new transfer/trans gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear engine seal were
replaced. The drive shaft was balanced
and lubricated. A new EverStart Marine
battery was also installed in April of 2012.
California Smog Check certificate included with the sale as I just had
the vehicle smogged on 5/12/14. Current
registration and tags are good through April of 2015. The truck shifts smoothly, accelerates nicely
and has plenty of power. The tires are
30x9.5LT Bridgestone Dueler A/T in good shape; the spare is a mismatched tire
that will need to be replaced. This is not
a museum quality cruiser. If you’re

nice looking Land Cruiser that you can drive daily and are not afraid to take

Leaked Toyota FT-86 Open concept images preview droptop Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Here it is, folks - the highly anticipated Toyota FT-86 Open concept, a precursor to what could become a road-going Scion FR-S convertible. A full smattering of images and video have leaked onto the internet, and thanks to the folks at FT86Club.com, we can now see the new hotness that Toyota will be unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
These images confirm details that were first seen in spy shots captured a couple of weeks ago - namely, the larger wheel/tire package and the inclusion of the Toyobaru coupe's decidedly useless rear seats. These new photos, however, show a two-tone leather interior with goodies such as an iPod/iPhone mount on the dashboard. The concept car is also fitted with the coupe's six-speed automatic transmission (boo!) and FT86Club.com reports that the folding soft top is operated electronically.
We'll have the full details live from Geneva in just a few days. For now, click through our attached image gallery to see lots of pretty pictures of the topless wonder, and scroll down for a video to see the concept in motion.
Toyota C-HR stays sharp from prototype to production
Tue, Mar 1 2016Scion is dead. While the troubled brand was given 13 years to make a case for itself, it never quite succeeded. And that's a shame, because we're pretty confident that this, the production-spec Toyota C-HR would have been one of its biggest hits. Instead, when it arrives in the US, it will be as a Toyota... where it will still likely be a big hit. The new small CUV made its debut after literally years of teasing concepts, the most recent of which was shown late last year in Los Angeles, where it was badged as a Scion. After seeing that car, it's quite clear that Toyota has strained itself to translate its style to the real world. Up front, there's clear inspiration from the Toyota Auris/Scion iM. But aside from the front, the C-HR's biggest inspiration appears to be the Nissan Juke. View 14 Photos It's like Toyota has tried to go even further, though. Its wheel arches are flared even more aggressively and they feed into a strong character line on the lower portion of the doors. In back, Toyota's designers seem to have just rotated the Juke's taillights 180 degrees while they sit below an extremely fast rear window. Said window is integrated into today's latest design trend, a floating roof. Mechanically, the C-HR rides atop Toyota's New Global Architecture, which is Japan's answer to Volkswagen's MQB architecture. Power comes from a hybrid drivetrain, good for a relaxed 120 horsepower. If you don't want hybrid power, Toyota will sell the C-HR with the Euro-market Auris' turbo 1.2-liter engine, but we almost certainly won't see that here in the US. Instead, American drivers will probably be left with nothing but a 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder. That engine will be exclusively paired with a continuously variable transmission that sends power to either the front- or to all four wheels. So there's Juke inspiration, but not in the driving character. Toyota says it will build the C-HR Hybrid in Turkey. We don't know if that facility will handle US-market vehicles or just Europe, but we wouldn't be surprised to see additional facilities come online to produce this stylish little bugger.

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.
