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
after a perfect cruiser, I suggest checking out www.tlc4x4.com as these guys have some amazing

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

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ
Mon, 19 May 2014Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.
Toyota FCV Concept comes one step closer to reality
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When Toyota first conceptualized a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle for mainstream Americans to drive, the initial response was pretty skeptical. Still, through relentless engineering and solid product after solid product, Toyota has built the Prius brand into the dominant force in the hybrid car market.
Something like that plan of attack is what the Japanese company is preparing for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well, and that attack is seeing a critical salvo fired today with the debut of this FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Though there's nothing substantive to be said about rumors of a 300-mile range or a sticker price around $50,000, the FCV concept does offer a few technical details. The sharp-beaked concept makes use of two high-pressure hydrogen tanks and boasts a power output density of three kilowatts per liter.
These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks
Tue, Jan 6 2015Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...
