1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Don't miss out on this one! I have owned this FJ for the past 10 years and it has
given me nothing but happiness and no problems. I will give a little history, at least what I know, and was told
when I purchased it. I bought this from a gentleman in the Atlanta, GA area back in 2006. He told me that this FJ
came from CA and was owned previously by a director or producer in the L.A. area. I have never researched this so I
can not confirm or deny this story. The previous owner had it painted the Olive Brown color that it is today along
with the black undercarriage. This FJ was originally light blue. There is no rust or body filler on the body that I
can find which tells me this truck came from the west. So the CA story may be true. The fenders, wheel wells, floor
pans, ambulance doors and rear sill are all solid as you can also see in the pictures. This is a solid reliable
vehicle that has not been molested as you can see by the pictures. Over the years I have repaired anything that
needed attention and also added the OME suspension. A perfect candidate to keep driving as I have been doing or a
clean slate for a restoration. It always starts right up and shifts through the gears smoothly. The 4WD works as it
should and this thing is almost unstoppable in low range 4WD. Some other features of this FJ are listed below;

Garage kept while in my ownership
Original 4.2 liter straight six engine
Original emission controls
4 speed transmission
New front disc brakes
Rear drum brakes
Air conditioner. Toyota compressor and different blower unit.
Old Man EMU front and rear springs, shocks and steering stabilizer.
Front winch with remote.
Gauges work as they should.
Engine compression last time I checked (about a year ago) ranged from 145-147 per cylinder
New brake master cylinder and fluid flush.
Fresh oil change and radiator flush.
Stereo with amp and 2 rear speakers attached to roll bar. Aux cord to play tunes from your phone.
Locking center console which is nice when you take the top off.

Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

Toyota Corolla Nurburgring Edition talks the talk, doesn't walk the walk

Mon, Mar 23 2015

From the Opel Corsa OPC to the Lexus LFA, there have been all sorts of vehicles worthy of wearing the Nurburgring name. And while the Toyota Corolla may have a lot going for it – it is, after all, once of the top selling models in the world Â– we're not sure it would count among them. Especially not with a CVT. Toyota's Thai division seems to think otherwise, though, and is launching the Corolla Altis ESport Nurburgring Edition at the Bangkok Motor Show this week. Apparently inspired by a seventh-place class finish at last year's 24-hour race on the Nordschleife, it's based on the Corolla Altis Â– a version of the popular sedan sold in South Asian markets Â– and picks up where the ESport trim leaves off. From there it gets a reworked aero kit, blacked-out grille, LED daytime running lights and red-trimmed leather interior. There's even a recalibrated suspension hooked up to 17-inch alloys, giving it the right stance, but that's about the extent of the performance enhancements. Power unfortunately still comes from a 1.8-liter atmospheric inline-four, driving just 141 horsepower to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. So while it may have at least some of the looks to go with its racy name, it still lacks the oomph. This, then, will not be one of those overseas performance specials we'll be longing for when passing by a Toyota showroom on our own shores, but at least customers in Thailand can look the part.
