I have a 77 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a 3/4 Aluminum body, Aluminum Drop Down Tailgate, and brand new rear fender flares on it up for sale. The previous owner said the engine ran perfect when he bought it and that his son messed it up when he got his license and that the engine needs to be rebuilt or at least the block does. I'm going to be picking up a running 2F engine that I will include for an extra $450 if you want to do a quick swap. If you want to you can hear it run before I pull it out of the truck. The front and rear brakes, brake lines and also has a new brake master cylinder that were just done 6 months ago. The front bib has some rust on it and I will include one in much better shape to replace the one thats on the truck right now. The windshield frame has some bubbling along the bottom edge and will need some sanding and bodywork or you can swap another windshield frame on. Think I know someone who has one off a 76. The rest of the truck is in good shape with the aluminum body and drop down tailgate. The frame is also in good shape and was painted a year ago by the P.O. The aluminum body was rhino-lined inside the tub and under it at one point as well. All of the lights, blinkers, and even the radio works. Both front seats are in great shape and have a locking center console in between the seats. The skinny wheels and tires that are on the truck do not come with it, I have another set that go with the truck that you can see on it with the pictures of the soft top on it. I just have these skinny wheels and tires on, so I can roll it easier. Truck was garage kept before the previous owner and has been garage kept since I have owned it. Have a clear NJ title for it as well. The trucks inspection sticker is good til May of 2014. The truck will come with a extra hood, front bib in much better shape to replace the rusted one that's on the truck, a 1 year old soft top & split front soft doors, black bikini top, "2" Rear hatch doors & crossbar for hard top, and a couple of other boxes of parts. If you have any questions or want to stop by to look at it email me or call me at

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
2013 Toyota RAV4
Tue, 16 Apr 2013A Nicer View Than Ever Of Middle Of The Road
When we had our first shot behind the wheel of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the overall judgment from Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski could be summed up in a sentence along the lines of, "Eh, not bad." The truth is that the compact crossover segment, now filled with not-so-compact offerings, is as cutthroat as any in the industry these days. When a heavyweight player like the RAV4 comes to market with a new generation, it is not at liberty to start from a clean sheet, lest it throw cold water on a vehicle that sells tens of thousands of units globally every month. Like De La Soul says, "Stakes is high."
If the choices in the marketplace were still largely limited to the Honda CR-V, as was the case when this market niche was green, the Toyota offering might actually seem like the exciting choice. But with new players offering better dynamic thrills (Mazda CX-5), cool turbo motors and fancy technology (Ford Escape), or even crunchy cred (Subaru Forester), the small crossover shopper is really spoiled for choice in 2013.
Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process
Sat, 12 Apr 2014Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
