This is a rare custom converted FJ80 to a 1HZ Toyota diesel with a 5 speed manual transmission and 2 speed transfer case. The donor vehicle was a 1991 Toyota FJ80 with 238k miles on the chassis that was owned and well-maintained by a boeing engineer in Seattle. The diesel drivetrain is a 1HZ Toyota 6 cylinder from Australia, the mileage on the motor is approximately 115,000 miles. The conversion was done by a journeyman mechanic in Alaska. These motors are not turboed, therefore they are absolutely bullet proof (google it). However, they can be turboed if you've got the money. Current mileage on the rig is just over 250k. Compression numbers are strong. The head was replaced with a brand new head, head gasket and valve job. The injectors were rebuilt, a new water pump was installed and an upgraded K&N air filter. The injection pump was just rebuilt by H&H diesel in Seattle with new vitron seals that are compatible with US Ultra low sulfur diesel. There is a dual battery system with a battery isolator switch and a BlueSeas battery isolator that charges the starting battery first then the auxiliary battery. The front hubs, bearings and seals were recently rebuilt and run smoothly. Both differentials, the transmission and transfer case have new synthetic fluids. The rig gets around 20 mpg highway. It has brand new tires and rims, and 3inch Old Man Emu left kit. Brand new stereo with blue tooth/mic and Aux hook ups. The rig is registered in California as a diesel. There is no rust on this vehicle. The only reason I am selling is because I have too many vehicles. The vehicle is currently located in Eureka, CA. However, I will deliver it to the Bay Area with a good non-refundable deposit. If you want to have it checked out I will take it to Ponci's Diesel in Fortuna CA, at your cost, I don't trust anyone else, sorry. The rig is in perfect shape. Email me if you're interested. |

Tesla now California's top automotive employer
Fri, 16 May 2014Tesla has knocked off Toyota as the biggest auto employer in the state of California, employing over 6,000 people to the Japanese company's 5,300. That lead is only likely to grow, as the EV manufacturer prepares to add another 500 jobs by the end of the year, and as Toyota begins its relocation to its new North American headquarters in Texas. The news comes barely a week after the company announced a $50 million loss during the first quarter of 2014.
Tesla's statewide employment could be set to double, beyond even 6,500 people, if it follows through on rumors to construct its eagerly awaited gigafactory in the Golden State. The $5-billion venture could add another 6,500 employees, making Tesla not just the largest automotive employer in the state, but making it one of the largest employers in the state full stop.
The investment of Tesla and its founder (and real-life Tony Stark), Elon Musk, has been substantial. The company has added 3,000 employees in the state since 2013, reopening the Toyota and General Motors joint-venture factory that use to be known as NUMMI in 2009 and constructing a design studio in Los Angeles, all in addition to its Palo Alto headquarters.
In Jamaica, it's not easy to sell or buy hybrid cars
Wed, Jan 15 2014Jamaica's mellow reputation and Rasta vibe contributes to an international reputation of an island nation that moves at a leisurely pace. And the term "leisurely" certainly applies to the rate of sales of hybrids there. And we thought Mitsubishi i sales in the US have been slow. The country's Toyota dealership is still in the process of explaining hybrid technology to many of its prospective customers, with the widespread perception remains that a standard Toyota Prius needs to be plugged in for electrical charging, the Jamaica Gleaner reports. Because of such slow exposure, Toyota has only sold about 10 hybrids in Jamaica since the Japanese automaker started selling them there in 2010. And we thought Mitsubishi i sales in the US have been slow. Toyota dealers in Jamaica continue to tout hybrid technology that can boost fuel economy by about 30 percent but are going up against the fact that Toyota's hybrids now need to be pre-ordered and aren't kept in stock because of sluggish demand. There's also the fact that Toyota's Japanese operations insist on an approval process that ensures the hybrids sent there can handle Jamaica's road conditions, and it typically takes three to four months for a Prius to get to Jamaica once ordered. Island locales provide a curious dichotomy for advanced-powertrain vehicles. On one hand, the driving distances tend to be relatively small, lengthening the amount of time it takes to pay back the original cost premium. On the flip side, importing fuel to islands makes gas prices skyrocket and can prove costly for the economy in island nations. Late last year, for instance, the government of another Caribbean nation, Barbados, estimated it spends about $250 million a year on gas used for personal vehicles. That's why the government there is pushing for more electric-vehicle adoption, though the number of EVs on the island was in the low double-digits as of mid-2013.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
