1971 Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Plainfield, New Hampshire, United States
1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This is a truck built BY a Land Cruiser enthusiast FOR a Land
Cruiser enthusiast. As you read this description, you’ll note the details that make this the ultimate Land
Cruiser Junky’s truck!
This recently restored Land Cruiser started off as a 1971 US-SpecFJ40, but was converted to a BJ40 diesel during
the restoration. This is NOT a South American truck! The Land Cruiser went through a thorough frame-off,
nut-and-bolt, multi-year restoration and is ready for anything. It’s the perfect truck for taking to the
mountains, cruising along the beach, or just cruising to the local car show. The odometer reads 38471 miles
The truck received a Toyota LandCruiser 3B (approx. 150k km or 93k miles) from a Canadian spec Land Cruiser along
with an H55F 5-speed transmission, “split” transfer case, and 1981 BJ42rear axle with integrated parking brake.
The engine received all new gaskets and seals and was installed using quality BJ42 reproduction frame mounts with
new motor mounts. The transmission was installed using an OEM1981+ transmission crossmember. An original BJ42 Air
cleaner assembly was also used. The drivetrain looks like it came from the factory this way and doesn’t have any
goofy custom-made brackets like so many other conversions. If you’re a LandCruiser junky like I am, this is
probably the most highly desired 40 series drivetrain combination available. The transmission and transfer case
were rebuilt with all new Japanese (mostly Koyo)bearings, 3rd-5th synchros, seals, and gaskets. The front and rear
axles received all new wheel bearings with the front axle receiving a complete knuckle rebuild with Koyo bearings.
Has restored period-correct Dualmatic (Selctro-style) hubs. Stock Land Cruiser driveshafts were retubed, balanced,
and had new Japanese (Matsuba) U-joints installed by a local driveshaft shop. There is an OEM hand throttle
mounted under the dash to assist with cold starts or for use if a winch is installed.
This FJ40 received an OEM BJ42radiator shroud, an aftermarket BJ42 brass radiator from Australia, a new Aisin(OEM)
water pump, and new fan. This was all tied together with new Toyota hoses and belts.
The front brakes were converted to power disk using Wilwood 4-piston caliper kit, stainless hoses, and stock
Landcruiser disk brake master cylinder and brake booster. The rear brakes are stock 1981 self-adjusting, single
cylinder brakes with integrated parking brake. The brakes are a HUGE upgrade all-around with no wheel cylinders or
parking brake to manually adjust. The steering was converted to power steering using a Toyota mini-truck power
steering box and factory BJ42 power steering pump. Additionally, all tie rods were replaced with new Japanese (555
brand) units. The suspension upgrades consist of 2.5” lift springs and new Bilstein5100 series shocks. All new
greaseable spring pins and anti-inversion shackles were installed along with new polyurethane bushings. The truck
rides better than any other FJ40 I’ve been in.

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000
Sat, 05 Jan 2013After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.
