Year:1979
Mileage:102333
Location:
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
|
This is a 1979 FJ40 with only 102k original miles. It is an unrestored original that has never been painted. You can see exactly what you are getting. This is a great vehicle to begin a ground up restoration on. The frame and axles have minor surface rust and will clean up easily without any of the major pitting that is seen on some vehicles from salty enviroments. This Cruiser runs, steers, stops, and drives nice. I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle to any destination in the United States. I first purchased this vehicle in 2001. At that time it had 80k miles. I owned it for several years and then sold it to a good friend of mine. It was sold a couple more times before I re-purchased it last year. I had intentions of completing my 4th complete frame up restoration but decided to stick with the one I already completed. The tires were purchased new 3 months ago and have about 10 miles on them. They are mounted on original FJ40 rims and have brand new OEM hubcaps. They are 33x10.50R15 BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrains. All 5 were purchased at the same time. The radiator and water pump were recently replaced. It currently runs a Weber carburetor and header with a Mallory Unilite ignition. There is a new OEM carb, linkage, some side mirrors, and air cleaner included to take it back to stock. I also have a stock exhaust manifold from a 1977 2F motor that I will include if the buyer desires. The exhaust on the rig is not stock but is also new within the last couple of years. I drove this rig today and it starts and runs perfect. It is a solid rig and is very complete. The only modifications from stock are the carb and header, Mallory electronic ignition, and rear fender flares. I have tried to show the rust as clearly as possible in the pictures. The rear quarters have the typical rust. To fix this, it needs quarter panels and the rear sill parts that are all available from Cool Cruisers of Texas. There is some rust in the wheel wells but it is small and patches will do. There are also 2 small holes in the drivers side floor that need a patch. The rust on the rockers appears to be just deep surface rust and should clean up without having to replace any panels.The fenders and hood are good as well. There are some other minor dents in the front passenger fender and passenger door. If you have read this far, you already know that the 79-84 FJ40s are the ones that are highly sought after by collectors. They have the under body gas tank that is a little bigger and a lot safer than the in-cab tanks of the ealier years. They have the 4 speed transmissions and the 3:70 gear ratios that make them drive better at highway speeds. The 33 inch tires help this rig run comfortably down the road at 75. This is a great rig and you will not be disappointed. I have heard and seen all the stories of people buying painted over rust buckets for big money and having to sink thousands into them to fix them. You can see exactly what you are getting with this rig. I ask for a $500 deposit within 2 days of the close of this auction. The balance can be handled through a bank transfer cash in person. I have a clear Wyoming title for this vehicle in my hand. No bank liens or other issues. This rig also comes with a Warn 8274 winch and remote that is in great working condition. There is also a heavy duty panel that closes the back end of the tub if you take the top and rear doors off. It is shown under the extra parts. The original tool bag with the Toyota OEM tools and some extra no-name tools, as well as all original jack and handles is there too. The brake master is also new. The rear seat is a Con-Fer unit that folds down and has storage underneath. There is also a Con-Fer console installed. I do not have the original console piece. Stereo is new too!
On Apr-07-14 at 05:56:45 PDT, seller added the following information: This rig has a Rancho 2 or 3 inch lift kit and it also has an Auburn limited slip differential in the front axle. Also, the front bumper was built to bolt on to the stock brackets. It can be removed and replaced with an OEM bumper. |

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
Toyota recalls 2016 RAV4, RX350, and ES350 for stability failure
Wed, Apr 6 2016The Basics: Toyota will recall 4,170 examples of the 2016 RAV4, 90 units of the 2016 Lexus RX350, and 12,400 units of the 2016 ES350. The Problem: A component in the brake actuator assembly may have damage from a manufacturing error. The actuator controls the anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, and other systems. If the part doesn't work properly these safety systems might not activate properly. Accidents/Injuries: Toyota spokesperson Amanda Rice told Autoblog, "Regarding the recent recalls, alleged crashes, injuries, and fatalities are reported in many ways to many different organizations. We are not providing specifics at this time." The Fix: Dealers will check the brake actuator's serial number and will replace it if the part comes from a period when the damage could have happened. If you own one: Toyota will contact affected owners by mail. Related Video: TOYOTA RECALLS CERTAIN 2016 MODEL YEAR RAV4 AND LEXUS RX AND ES VEHICLES TORRANCE, Calif., April 6, 2016 – Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. today announced that it is recalling approximately 4,170 Model Year 2016 Toyota RAV4; approximately 90 Model Year 2016 RX350; and approximately 12,400 Model Year 2016 ES350. The involved vehicles are equipped with a Brake Actuator assembly that enables enhanced brake control functions including the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), among others. There is a possibility that a component inside the actuator could have been damaged during manufacturing, preventing the actuator from operating properly. This could cause a loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of crash. All known owners of the affected Toyota vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Toyota and Lexus dealers will check the serial number of the Brake Actuator and replace actuators assembled during a specific production period. Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-do-date Safety Recall information on Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicles, customers should check their vehicle's status by visiting toyota.com/recall and entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Safety Recall inquiry by individual VIN is also available at the NHTSA site: safercar.gov/vin.
Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules
Mon, Feb 13 2017Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.
