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.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute
Mon, 05 Aug 2013With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.
