If your reading this you should probably make sure your significant other is not around. You're relationship has to be up to the stresses imposed by the new arrival. It may take some time for your spouse to adjust to being a "Land Cruiser widow" If a Land Cruiser is brought into a weak relationship, there's always the chance you won't get to keep the house then you'd be without a garage to work in. Take a minute and make sure you're in a "safe zone" ........ All clear? OK! Now let's get a few things straight:

You have obviously done quite well for yourself and you deserve this.

She gets 13 MPG. It doesn't matter if she's in 2WD, 4WD, going up hill, downhill, with a tailwind or a headwind, going sideways or backwards. She gets 13MPG.

She does not have Airbags, ABS brakes, A/C, DVD, Chrome, Navigation or Heated Seats (unless the tops off and it's summer). - If you want that stuff, move on.

She IS very cool and somewhat rare.

Here's your chance if you want the best of the best. This one has a shade over 112K miles and her had the motor rebuilt by the previous owner. The good news? These continue to go UP in value unlike your daily driver. The bad news, hmmm, wait a second, there is no bad news.

This Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is pretty much like it was the day it left the dealership. A drop-dead gorgeous 1980 Beige Land Cruiser FJ40 and a very stock example to boot. Shes undergone an extensive restoration from top to bottom with meticulous attention to detail. She rides and drives as good as any FJ40 I have ever owned, and I've owned a lot of them.

Miraculously, this FJ40 has been able to dodge all of the modifications that you often see. You won't find diamond plate, a V8, rear quarters cut out for flares or machine gun turrets! It's got the original Toyota 2F 6-cylinder and the emission control or smog equipment appears to be intact. Why somehow it even managed to escape the dreaded CB antenna hole! 10-4 GOOD BUDDY! The inline six-cylinder hums and the steering, clutch, transfer case and transmission are all in excellent working order.

Overview:
This FJ40 was restored by the previous owner who is a pilot and he did an excellent job! I have great respect for pilots, they’re detail oriented, maintenance and performance minded. The engine rebuild combined with a performance distributor and several other upgraded components results in a great running and driving truck. She doesn't burn or leak oil or any fluids. Inside you will find a beautiful cabin upgraded with LED lighting, additional amp meter, manifold pressure meter, aviation compass, sunroof and a high quality audio system. Having spent most of her life in dry climates, she’s in nearly perfect shape. Check out all the pictures. This FJ40 is a keeper!

Interior:
The interior is flawless. New front and rear seat covers, metal seat backs were sandblasted and powder coated. Correct 1980 rear heater installed and painted satin black. Correct 1980 plastic center console installed. Original headliner is still in place. Kenwood AM/FM/CD with speakers in doors and in the rear. Correct jack, jack rods and toolkit. There's new door weatherstripping on all doors, all windows work smoothly and seal well. 112K miles indicated on odometer and believed to be accurate. All OEM original mats front and rear. All 4 seat belts are intact, not frayed, and work well. The rear heater works well as do all gauges and controls. All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers, stereo and all gauges work perfectly. The front seats have been reupholstered and the rear jump seat retain the original upholstery and they look great. Both interior door panels as well as the dashpad are perfect.

Body:
Repainted inside and out with Dupont single-stage urethane with hardener – Color matched to Toyota Beige 464. Rooftop and rain gutter repainted white, headlight bezel media blasted and painted white. Any rust was cut out and replaced with metal and rust proofed. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body. OEM front bumper with Halogen spots and fog lamps. During restoration she received new parts galore, rubber hood pads, hood hooks, all emblems & gaskets, new front and rear lamps, new mirrors, new transfer case shifter boot, etc. Set up to tow your favorite toy with a standard hitch receiver and 4 pin flat wiring. Cruiser is dealer equipped with Warn free wheeling hubs. The truck sits on a stock suspension and has a smooth ride compared to most. The Wildcat Radial tires are 80% and are mounted on OEM stock white wagon wheels! The spare is the original Dunlop Snow Cruiser.

Summary:
The quality of this FJ40 is extreme. You'll be unable to drive her around with noticing the smiles and waves of the growing FJ40's fan base.! You can make a great memories in your FJ40 while also enjoying a blue chip investment. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 5 business days. I encourage you to call me (515) 864-1275 and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this auction early, which is usually what happens.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Japanese automakers welcome North American trade deal, fear what's next

Tue, Oct 2 2018

TOKYO — Toyota, Nissan and Mazda welcomed on Tuesday the revised North America trade deal that left Japanese automakers unscathed, but they may face a bumpy ride when Washington and Tokyo hold new talks on over $40 billion of annual U.S. auto imports from Japan. The United States and Canada reached an agreement on Sunday to update the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after Washington had forged a separate trade deal with Mexico in August. The updated deal effectively maintains the auto industry's current footprint in North America, and spares Canada and Mexico from the prospect of U.S. national security tariffs on their vehicles. Mazda, which ships cars to the United States from Mexico and Japan, called the deal a "big step forward". Nissan, which makes the cars it sells in the United States locally as well as in Mexico, Japan and other countries, said it was "encouraged" by the agreement. Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was "pleased" that a basic deal was reached. Other automakers were not immediately available for comment. While the deal has removed the risk that the disintegration of the pact would have posed to automakers, bigger risks loom large for Japanese firms as a chunk of the roughly 7 million cars they sold in the U.S. last year were shipped from Japan, and a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo has yet to be agreed. The United States and Japan last week agreed to begin fresh trade talks, with U.S. President Donald Trump seeking to address Japan's $69 billion trade surplus, of which nearly two-thirds comes from auto exports. Washington is also investigating the possibility of slapping 25 percent tariffs on auto imports on national security grounds, although it has agreed with Japan to put any new tariffs on hold during the talks. Analysts say the United States may take a tougher stance on auto imports from Japan than from its neighbors. "If Japan requests an exemption from the 25 percent tariffs under consideration, Washington could propose a more strict cap on imports than it agreed to with Mexico and Canada," said Koji Endo, senior analyst at SBI Securities. "That would be a risk." This could be a big blow to Japan, as the United States is a key source of revenue for Japanese automakers including Toyota, Nissan and Honda. The U.S. market accounts for a quarter or more of their annual global vehicle sales, and of their total U.S.

This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Tastes clearly vary, and there's not as much love for the first-wave of Japanese metal as there is for similar era American-iron, but we're pleased to see these cars finally getting more time in the spotlight. Scroll down below to see why we're stoked, and consider cruising your local Craigslist for late 1970s and early 1980s Japanese coolness (before we get there first).
