What we have here is a great 1968 Toyota FJ40.

It has everything you could ever want on one.

All that it needs is prep and paint. And mats.

4 wheel power disc brakes.

No matter what anyone tells you, the drum brakes

on these are a pain in the butt. Really hard to keep adjusted

and they never seem to stay adjusted. The power discs are

amazing. Its like driving a new truck.

Full Saginaw power steering including new column and

tilt wheel. I have a bad shoulder and manual steering can

literally be a pain. This has a small wheel and I can turn the

FJ with 1finger. It is really nice.

New radiator and heaters. If you have owned one of these before you

know what a pain it can be trying to defrost the windshield or keep it

from fogging up on a cold day, not to mention keeping yourself from

shivering. The front heater with new core and blower does more than you

could ask performing those tasks but right behind you is a new school

bus heater. You can drive with the windows down on a cold day. I have froze my

butt off in old rigs all my life. You will love the heat.

Air conditioning is provided by Vintage Air. You can look them

up online. They make custom installations for these FJs. It fits under the

dash like a factory unit. All installed except for the compressor. Everything

You need is there. Just needs installed. The hard stuff is in already. So when its

100 degrees out. You can have the windows up and everyone is comfortable.

The clutch, master cylinder, and slave cylinder are less than 2000 miles old.

I have extra parts as well. Boxes. There are 2 extra clutches and pressure plates.

The seats are very nice. Leather out of a 2002 Ford Focus. Very comfortable.

They are leather and the driver seat is electric and fully functional. The rear

jump seats are original and in very good condition. My grandkids love riding in them.

Other than surface rust where paint has come off, this is a rust free vehicle. Any rust

it had was properly cut out and new metal welded in place. A very nice job. The interior

Is fully Rhino lined. It still needs mats or carpet.

Glass is all very good.

Doors have good weather stripping so no cool breeze

on you when you drive in the winter.

Tires have great tread. Has hubcaps even on the spare.

Shocks are new. It has a 2.5 inch lift on Old Man Emu springs.

Also included is a big Warn winch. It mounts on the front bumper.

It has controls that mount in the cab so you can operate it from inside the rig.

Engine starts right up and runs great. Trans is a three speed on the

floor. Shifts smooth. Never pops out of gear. Tranny and transfer case both feel

great. 4x4 works nice. I'm not a serious off roader but I've used it in the snow.

Lights and turn signals work properly. Lots of interior lighting wired in.

Nice easy to see turn signal display lights on the dash.

Also comes with a tow bar.

This is a great rig. With paint and mats it should be worth 20k

All the hard stuff is done. And if you are looking for a fun family

rig or maybe something for hunting or fishing you won't find a

better built one for the price.

I'm sure I've forgotten a few things so please ask questions.

You'll need to jog my memory.

Our life has changed and we just can't have all these toys anymore.

Buyer is responsible for shipping.

I will help with loading or whatever.

I have a safe place to keep it til it's picked up.

Sold as is.

Thanks for looking.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
