1984 Landcruiser Fj60. 350 V8 4 Speed, Tbi/fi, Ca Smog Legal on 2040-cars
Auburn, California, United States
|
1984 FJ60 in very good condition for it's age. I've owned it for 15 years now and the previous owner for 5. Neither of us are/were smokers. The mileage is 286,000 approx, and is likely the true number. After the original 6 cylinder gave up the ghost I did the 350 5.7 GMC conversion. That was around 193,000 miles. <P> The motor and ECU are out of an '87 GMC Suburban and it runs fine. It has worn down a bit but is still a fine runner. The valve guides are wearing and now and then a puff of blue smoke out the back when 1st starting. But it does not burn or leak oil. It was a great conversion! The I-6 was great off-road but would not get out of it's own way trying to merge onto the freeway. The 350 took care of that. Later I installed a rebuilt 4 speed from Spector Off Road, with a compound low, 1st gear. Got my torque back. :) <P> The truck was off-roaded some but was never a boonie crasher, or abused. The suspension is stock, with the shocks recently replaced, Monroe. I replaced the carpets a few years ago with Specter's gray loop kit. In the cargo area just behind the bench seat is a 3" slit. I had all the seats re-covered about 18 months ago; custom sewn. As wonderful as Toyota's fabrics were there was no way to keep that driver side seat panel from wearing out. I didn't want to but I'd replaced the driver side once ($250). A second replacement was not an option. :) Now, as you can see, HD boat vinyl. Problem solved. There are a few nicks in the window tint.<P> The body is rust free and straight. There are 2 or 3 minor "beer can" dents that are very hard to see, being white.... The truck has been regularly serviced for the last 20 years at least. 6 months ago the left front axle seal gave out so I had both sides taken apart, inspected and re-sealed. No mo drips. 18 months ago I had the air conditioning totally replaced and it blows nice and cold. There went another $2k..... but living in the Sacramento Valley makes me wish I'da done it years before. The adaptor kit for the 350 is a Marks, out of Australia. Tow hitch welded to chassis. Wired for 7 pin round or 4 pin flat trailers. Prodigy brake control, and wired for charging circuit. <P> The truck has been in an accident but I couldn't tell you when or where. It happened before the PO sold it to me. It was hit on (ran into?) with the left front fender. Nothing apparent to me, and the frame is straight. The transfer case is fine, and the drive line in general.<P> If you have any questions please ask. MIKE On May-28-14 at 21:36:58 PDT, seller added the following information: A watcher asked a question earlier today about the motor swap, and I thank him. It is pertinent. The motor swap was not a shade tree conversion. It was done by a local Pro Shop. I purchased the needed parts and the shop did the installation. The V8 and ECU came from the same truck, and was wired into place using a Painless Universal wiring harness. The ECU is located next to the left foot, behind the kick plate, in front of the A pillar. The Check Engine light is located above the left knee of the driver as well as the BDO (?) test socket. The Calif BAR issued a new bar code sticker for approval. Thank you. |

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases
Wed, 26 Mar 2014In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
