About us:   Amazonia-4x4 is a small family owned company located at the Treasure Coast (Hobe Sound, FL)   with over six years of experience in Restorations, specialized in Toyota Land Cruisers FJ40s. Most of the work is done by us in our premises except for the paint job, which is done at a professional Body Paint shop (Massey Yardley Body Shop). All the restoration process is documented with lots of pictures that we will provide to the next owner on a CD as a courtesy.

Vehicle Description:

     Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser 1979 with all the body parts taken apart and eventually sand blasted for better future rust prevention (primed, sealed and painted with BASF quality paint), the whole frame was sand blasted as well and immediately primed and painted with Professional black color in order to be restored. Undercarriage was completely black rubberized with excellent quality liner to prevent even more rust issues and give it a better nice looking finish to it.

     Most of bolts, washers and nuts were replaced for full threatened Stainless Steel, and all other bolt and nuts and pieces that we did not replace for stainless steel were restored, replaced for zinc plated ones or painted as well.

   Inside the body, we used a Professional grade tintable spray in liner (not painted over) to give the vehicle a better look and even more rust protection. So, if you have kids or a pet, well, no problem, you can carry them inside the vehicle without being afraid to scratch it, stain or damage the paint.

   New upholstery in all 4 factory seats with marine grade vinyl, and a small color detail in the piping matching the vehicle color as well. All the seats frames were sand blasted, primed and black painted for excellent quality and finish. For better ride entertainment we installed a Sony Marine USB/iPod ready stereo and 4 sony marine speakers.

     The engine: This is a great 6 cylinders Toyota 2F completely refurbished (not rebuilt) with new gaskets and seals and the most important with all OEM Toyota parts in it. Compression was tested and as you can see in the detailed pictures, it was over 150psi each piston, and excellent leak down test. This engine has only original 42,600 miles in it (miles could vary due that we have it for sale locally and most of the time people want to take a test drive).

   New gas hoses, gas filter, gas pump, gas sending unit, oil sending unit, OEM Toyota oil filter and new air filter as well. New DUI high performance Distributor and spark plugs, new OEM oil cap, OEM battery tray, OEM PCV valve and grommet, New OEM starter and alternator. New dual header and gasket as well.

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."

Toyota recalls slew of models for possible airbag calibration defect

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Toyota is recalling sixteen models from the 2009 to 2013 model years over a potential issue with passenger seat airbag calibration. In spite of the large number of different Toyotas covered by the recall, just 3,235 units are included. These were vehicles installed with accessories like leather seat covers and headrest DVD systems by Southeast Toyota Distributors, and during the modifications the passenger seat occupant sensor system might not have been calibration tested. If the sensors aren't set up properly, the passenger airbag might not work as it should.
Affected models include: Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Prius, Prius V, Rav4, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra and Venza. Scroll down for the relevant model years for each.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall will begin this month. Southeast Toyota will inform owners, at which time they can take their Toyotas to dealers for testing and repair. The complete bulletin from the NHTSA with more information is below.
