1974 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 -- an original off road machine!
Electronic Fuel Injected Chevy 350 V8, Auto Transmission, Front Disc Brakes, Front/Rear Lockers, Power Steering, Roll cage, SOA lift, Super Swampers, & much more!!
It spent the first 30 years in sunny rust - free California before I bought her in 2004. I've kept it garaged in Texas ever since. I bought this FJ as a project and have spent a decade putting it together the right way and making sure everything works. It's the perfect combination of power, EFI reliability, smooth steering, excellent braking, and awesome-ness! You won't believe that a 1974 truck this size can drive, stop, and steer this well.
It runs like a champ and can go anywhere. She's conquered Moab, the Rubicon trail, Katemcy Rocks, Barnwell, and a ton of places in between. Hear it run: A cold start: The Details - DRIVETRAIN: Engine Chevy 350 converted to TBI (throttle body injection) – runs great and starts first time. Fuel injected TBI conversion by “Affordable fuel injection” with optional ALDL computer port for diagnostics and “check engine” light tied into the ECM that can be used to pull trouble codes – on dash next to ARB switch see pics. TBI completely rebuilt 11/2013, gas tank removed/cleaned, new fuel pump/filter/FI lines. Tuned up 08/2013 with: new ecm, plugs, wires, rotor, ignition coil, vacuum lines High output - 200 amp Alternator Cooling 3 Core
Aluminum Radiator with 2 speed high-CFM Ford Electric Fan (Taurus) High
flow aluminum water pump Transmission/Transfer Case 700R4
Automatic transmission with remote mount transmission cooler – shifts great, no
slipping Previous owner installed a tab for the reverse lights that prevents the linkage from shifting into park. I keep the parking brake well adjusted and have always set it with the Land Cruiser in neutral without any problems. Toyota
4 Speed Transfer Case Advanced Adapters – 700R4 transmission to Toyota transfer case adapter JTO T-Case saver – Gusset plate to strengthen transfer case housing Steering/Suspension Power Steering conversion (Saginaw) with brand new gear box – super smooth turning Steering Stabilizer Spring Over Axle (SOA) lift with extended heavy duty shackles (sits about 7 inches taller thanstock FJ40), rides great on road and has incredible flex off road All new tire rod/relay rod ends For an FJ40 this size it drives straight and stops on a dime Has 5 Massive Super Swampers – 35 x 15 x 15!! On 15 x 10 black steel wheels. Custom full size spare mount on rear. Axles/Brakes Toyota
Axles with 4:10 gears, front disc brakes, front/rear lockers ARB front air locker with dash mounted switch, & Powertank CO2 Supply Tank – excellent 100% “on-demand” traction with open differential when off Powertrax Lock-Right fully automatic rear locker – incredibly reliable traction off-road with impressive on-road characteristics. Automatically disengages when turning with minimal noise. Truthfully, you don’t even notice it until you need it – then it’s perfect traction. Disc Brake conversion on front axle. New Larger/stronger brake booster (T100) – see pics New Master cylinder upgrade (FJ80) – see pics STOPS LIKE CHAMP! Interior/Exterior/Electrical Recaro Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses. Driver’s seat adjusts front to back, passenger’s seat is fixed Full Roll Cage Entire tub is Bed Lined, as well as, roll cage, wheel wells, front fenders, diamond plate rear corner guards & front/rear bumpers Newer style
front windshield (1978) with electric wipers instead of older vacuum style Newer style
(1975-1981) FJ40 Turn Signals (gives it the “signature FJ40” look) All lights, turn signals, brake lights work – except reverse lights Factory lower rear metal half doors – does not have upper rear hatch These are not installed because the spare tire mount sits there ISSUES There are, currently, no known mechanical problems with this cruiser. It runs, drives, stops, and steers like it should. The reverse lights don't work and I've never messed with them b/c it passes TX inspection without them. The speedometer works, but I cannot verify it's accuracy with the tires/lift/gears/etc. The odometer stopped at 95,999 long before I got it. I just repaired the sending unit for the gas tank b/c it always showed 1/2 tank when low - I haven't filled it back up to make sure it's working yet. It has aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges that work well. I've replaced any leaking gaskets over the years and as of now everything is dry underneath. The gaskets do require occasional replacing and you'll know it's time by any drips. If the winning bidder is interested, I can
include a full Hard Top with glass and both factory front doors – from a donor FJ40
– they’ve never been installed on this Landcruiser and need a bit of TLC to
restore them. I never pursued them because I think it looks better without the
top/doors. This Landcruiser runs/drives great and is a beast of a
truck. I’m moving out of state and can’t take an extra vehicle, so I’ve got to
let her go. For a cruiser this size, it drives very straight, stops on a
dime, and turns with minimal effort. It’s taken years to work the bugs of
steering, driving, stopping – but this one’s got the right combination! The
body/chassis are in great shape, but it has been used for the reason it was
built. As such, there are little dings and nicks here and there. This has been
a labor of love, as you can see from the build list and pictures. I’ve treated
her gently and never hammered that V8 through the drive train at full bore, as
a result I’ve never had major breakage and everything has held up well. It is still a 40 year old vehicle and, although well cared for, will require attention from time to time. If you’re looking for a beauty pageant winner, this isn’t
it. However, if you’d like an awesome FJ40 that can go anywhere without the
iconic $100k price tag, then you’ve found it! |

Scion testing updated FR-S
Thu, Sep 17 2015It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
Toyota NA CEO says his excitement for hydrogen sedan is rising
Fri, Apr 4 2014Toyota has an undeniable vested interest in seeing its hydrogen sedan succeed when it goes on sale in the US next year, so it's no surprise that the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, says that he's got more hope for the car now than ever before. And if we remember ways that others in the company, like Bob Carter, have loudly sung hydrogen's praises, we have to assume that positivity is running awful high in Torrance. In fact, Lentz said that the US side of the company is far more excited by the H2 car than colleagues in Japan. Speaking at The Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara, CA this week, Lentz said: After we've seen the product, understand its range, its driving dynamics, its refueling, we're a lot more bullish than Japan - probably about fivefold more bullish. It's just a question of how many can be produced now. Well, we've driven this car, and we still feel that Toyota is placing a big bet on the technology. One important issue is cost, but Lentz would not say exactly how much the car costs to make or what it will be priced at. He did say, though, that the production cost has dropped by 95 percent from the $1 million price tag the car wore ten years ago. That hints at a production cost of around $50,000. Lentz also said he thinks it will take at least a decade for hydrogen vehicles to hit sales of 500,000 per year in the US. Speaking to Bloomberg, he said: Their acceptance could get off to a quicker start than the hybrids did. I think you're going to see a lot more marketing of the concept of fuel cell much sooner than you did for hybrids, because basically the whole industry is behind it.
Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner
Wed, 03 Apr 2013A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.
