" **** Awesome 1986 FJ 60 ***** Here is your chance to own an amazing Cruiser with a really cool history. This Cruiser was purchased by a retired Toyota manager along with 19 other FJ-60's and taken to Costa Rica where it was completely restored 5 years ago. 18 of the Cruisers were sold to folks living there, as they are an ideal vehicle for the place. This particular FJ was one of his 2 personal Cruisers (one for him and one for his wife) and was used regularly in Costa Rica for about year after being finished. Once a week, he would pick up the local veterinarian, and take him out through the country to service those that did not come to town. When they decided to move back home to Oregon, they were not ready to part with their personal FJ's, so they shipped them both back. For the past 3 years, they had been sitting side by side in his garage, only being driven on rare occasion. We went to look at one for sale, and ended up buying both of them as a package deal (My wife thought this one would be her daily driver, but she found out that she doesn't like driving a standard transmission in town every day. Deciding we really don't need two toy's, we have decided to part with this one before we too, become overly attached. As you will see from the photo's, the FJ is in fantastic condition both inside and out. As the restoration was done over the course of restoring several others, he didn't bother keeping detailed documents, but as mentioned, this was his personal FJ, so he didn't spare any expense on it. He did tell me that even buying parts for the projects in bulk, he figures he invested nearly 30k into the project. Top end of engine, and drivetrain were re-built, all springs and shocks were replaced with new, all body panels were taken apart, painted and put back together, interior was re-done with carpet, custom rubber mat in the back for cargo, and new Kenwood CD player with IPOD connection in glove box. All the chrome emblems, grill, lights, etc. were replaced. All window regulators were replaced and properly lubricated so the windows work great. Custom rear sliding windows were added. Custom tow hitch and wiring for trailer was installed. Custom ultra wheels and 33x12x15 BFG mud terrain tires were installed, and are still like brand new. Custom roof rack, and an ARB bull bumper with Warn 8000 LB winch was installed. The A/C system was converted to R-134A and we just had it re-freshed so it blows Ice Cold. All in all this is an amazing Cruiser that gets tons of looks and compliments. It looks beautiful from any distance, and would look great in any exhibition. It rides and drives great at 5 mph, or at 65 mph out on the hi-way. Everything works as it should and it is ready to be your every day driver, or your weekend warrior. I believe that someone is going to get a fantastic deal on this Cruiser. We are setting our reserve price at less than half of what has been invested just so we can use the money for our other project, a custom 1983 convertible FJ 60. " |

Toyota investing $30 million in Indiana for more Highlander production
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Indiana seems like the place to be if you're looking for work in a car factory. In May, Subaru announced plans to invest $400 million in its Lafayette, Indiana plant, creating 900 new jobs in the process and increasing capacity to 300,000 units per year. Now, Toyota has announced plans to invest $30 million in its Princeton, Indiana plant, 170 miles south of the Subaru factory, which also builds the Camry.
Toyota's investment will create an additional 200 jobs and increase the factory's volume by 15,000 units. Toyota announced an investment in the plant in February of 2012 that bumped volume up from 300,000 to 350,000 units. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, as the Princeton facility is officially known, produces the recently revised Toyota Highlander, the Sequoia and the Sienna. It employs 4,500 people, and this announcement represents Toyota's tenth production increase in under two years.

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES
Fri, Jan 2 2015Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?
Sun, 24 Nov 2013With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."
