1982 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40 HARDTOP
Timeless Toyota Quality and Original
California Vehicle Simple, Classic, and Tough I purchased
this vehicle from its previous owner in March of 2010. The vehicle was sold new in 1982 at a local
dealership in Anaheim, California and retains its original blue CA license
plates. Over the
last four years of ownership, I have invested countless hours and thousands of
dollars on the cruiser to bring it to its current condition. The cruiser was kept in dry storage for many
years and was covered with dust after sitting in a large wood working shop. The cruiser
wears its original paint color also known as Toyota Beige (464). The exterior of the truck looks great from 5
feet away. At some point in its life,
the driver’s side appears to have had some paint and body work which must have
been completed several years ago as the vehicle maintains its retro orange pin
striping throughout. There are various
areas on the driver’s side where the paint is beginning to chip. I removed the fiberglass cap, front bezel
and had the five original steel wheels sandblasted, power coated and
professionally painted using PPG paint in Toyota White (033). Next, I had the headliner installed by a
local upholstery shop using a factory reproduction headliner sold by Specter
Off Road. While the top was off, I proceeded
to install new OEM weather stripping for both the fiberglass cap and hard
top. A reproduction front bumper was
painted using Cruiser Corps OEM Pewter paint and two new OEM Toyota bumperettes
were fitted in the rear. The interior
of the cruiser is in great shape. The
front and rear factory floor mats are in good shape as are the front and rear
jump seats. The driver’s seat bottom
appears to have been re-covered with matching grey vinyl. All seat belts are present and
functional. All switches, knobs and
controls appear to be working as they should.
The dash and sun visors are in good condition. The front door panels have been altered to
fit aftermarket speakers which are not connected at this time. In addition, an aftermarket Audiovox AM/FM
cassette player was installed in the factory location. The center console is original and has a
small crack on the ashtray. The vehicle has no A/C or Power Steering. The front floorboards are rust free and the
rear cargo area has only surface rust typical of the felt underlayment material
used under the rear factory rubber floor mat.
There are two small spots of corrosion below the ‘Toyota’ emblem on the
passenger rear quarter panel (see photos).
The underbody and frame are in good condition and free of major rust or
corrosion for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically,
the vehicle has plenty of power and runs strong. The 4-Speed transmission shifts smoothly and
the 4WD functions as it should. The
odometer reads just over 126k miles (4k average for its 32 years of life). Recently, a valve adjustment, valve cover
gasket, and steering arm were installed by Mark’s Off Road Enterprises in
Burbank, CA. I have had the carb rebuilt several
times. The first rebuild was completed by
Mark’s Off Road and the second rebuild was completed by the same shop used by
Specter Off Road (SOR) in order to pass strict California emissions
standards. This is a California model
and retains all factory smog and emissions hoses and equipment. Next, a new exhaust manifold gasket was
fitted. The cruiser has a new catalytic
converter and newer exhaust and muffler.
The truck appears to have a 2-inch suspension and anti-inversion
shackles which were also installed by the previous owner. The front axle was rebuilt and the front
knuckles have been serviced. Also, a
new transfer/trans gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear engine seal were
replaced. The drive shaft was balanced
and lubricated. A new EverStart Marine
battery was also installed in April of 2012.
California Smog Check certificate included with the sale as I just had
the vehicle smogged on 5/12/14. Current
registration and tags are good through April of 2015. The truck shifts smoothly, accelerates nicely
and has plenty of power. The tires are
30x9.5LT Bridgestone Dueler A/T in good shape; the spare is a mismatched tire
that will need to be replaced. This is not
a museum quality cruiser. If you’re

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried
Mon, 01 Jul 2013We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
Toyota ready to get dirty with new TRD Pro Series
Thu, 06 Feb 2014To the general public, Toyota is often thought of as a maker of bland but dependable cars, crossovers and SUVs that get their owners and a whole herd of whatever from Point A to Point B. Generally speaking, they're fuel efficient, comfortable and affordable. What the general public may not realize, however, is that Toyota enjoys a very strong history of going off road, too. The legendary Land Cruiser arguably established the trend, helping explore remote parts of the globe, while various guerilla warfare outfits and world military branches have unwittingly joined up with the boys from Top Gear to help cement the Hilux pickup's reputation for invincible performance. Now, though, Toyota is launching a new line of trucks and SUVs in the US that are even more explicitly targeted at hitting the trails. Meet the TRD Pro Series.
Featuring the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, each Pro Series vehicle features TRD-tuned springs with Bilstein shocks, a TRD front skid plate, a TRD shifter, black wheels, branded floor mats and a "TOYOTA" grille badge, the latter of which harkens back to classic models. TRD Pro Series vehicles will be offered in the new Inferno paint color shown above, as well as Black and Super White.
The Tundra benefits from softer TRD springs that also provide a two-inch lift and a better ride in the rough, while the truck itself rides on 18-inch wheels with Michelin ORP tires. Each truck gains an extra two inches of wheel travel in front and 1.25 inches in back, while a TRD dual exhaust should generate a nicer sound than the trucks's standard V8 engine. Finally, a unique interior with red contrast stitching freshen up the cabin. We wouldn't go so far as to call this a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fighter - far from it, in fact - but it's a bit more off-road oriented than your average pickup.
Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum
Tue, Jun 24 2014There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum
