TLC Stage Three Restored FJ's are the best in the world. In short, it involves a complete tear down and rebuild... leaving no stone unturned. We focus on quality OEM Toyota parts. Body is media blasted to raw metal then repainted using top quality materials. Before reassembly, the body is polyurea coated on the bottom of the tub and fenders, and on the inside floor surfaces. Inside of doors coated in Dynamat. All OEM hardware re-plated in factory finishes, exterior hardware upgraded to stainless steel. Nylon washers applied anywhere you may one day remove a panel, to protect the finishes. Chassis and all trim components are all media blasted to raw metal then powder coated (including rims, bumpers, mirror arms, roll bar, interior trim…). OEM seating restored with new foam, stock stay straps and improved marine quality vinyl. Fully rebuilt or new transmission, transfer case, differentials, steering system, exhaust, intake, suspension, fuel system, all clutch system parts and more. This FJ is perhaps the finest anywhere. Restored as delivered new back in 77, with the exception of LED lighting and improved suspension and 33" tires. Runs and drives as you would expect. A Cruiser of the highest quality, no excuses. An exceptional investment.

This Cruiser was rebuilt by one of the oldest and most respected Land Cruiser experts, TLC4x4. Look into our reputation if you are not familiar with our work. We have restored more FJ40's than anyone, with a consistent focus on quality. Our Cruisers are with happy owners all over the world. This particular FJ40 has been in Southern Ca since new. First owned by the father then the son, then we scored it. Rust free and unaltered. Numbers match. Note that classic Land Cruisers have been bringing six digits at auction lately. We have been restoring and selling them for years, long before they became "the hot thing". If you look closely at the ones selling at the auctions, they are restored with aftermarket parts without an expert eye on authenticity. By from the best, TLC, and rest assured you are getting only the best. Thanks for viewing.

Toyota celebrates 30th anniversary of Land Cruiser 70 with Japan rerelease [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

It's a common refrain among auto enthusiasts to bemoan the current models being sold for being overly complex and expensive and to wish that automakers would just make vehicles like the old days. Sure, they might not have been as safe or efficient, but there was often a certain rugged simplicity that's gone today. Well, Toyota is actually doing it and thinks there's enough demand to put the Land Cruiser 70 back into production in Japan for its 30th anniversary. Sadly, it's only for one year.
The original Land Cruiser 70 served a long life in Japan from 1984 to 2004. Even today, the proven model remains in production in some regions abroad. People in its home country still love the vehicle though, and Toyota is brushing off the mothballs to give customers what they want. For the first time ever there, it's also offering the double-cab pickup version in addition to the traditional enclosed body. The company thinks that it can move about 200 of these classic trucks this year, which isn't too shabby for a vehicle that's three decades old.
Looking at the pictures above, these look like the same old Land Cruisers, but Toyota is updating them slightly to meet modern safety rules. The grille, hood and headlights are all tweaked, and they now come with airbags and anti-lock brakes. A 4.0-liter V6 is under the hood making 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) and 266 lb-ft of torque (360 Newton-meters), and the only available gearbox is a five-speed manual. Part-time four-wheel drive is standard. If you're really afraid of getting stuck in the wilderness, locking front and rear differentials and a winch are available as options.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.
