This is the FINEST FJ40 I have ever seen in my life which is why I bought it back in 2008. 


SERIOUS COLLECTORS READ ON.....

I have owned 5 LandCruisers and currently own four.  I have never seen an FJ40 in ABSOLUTE SHOWROOM CONDITION that is better than this one. 

AGAIN LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR - THIS IS A MUSEUM QUALITY 100% ORIGINAL FJ40.  Nothing has been cut, Americanized, or molested in this truck.   This truck is plated in Wisconsin as a "Collector" plate.   This means it is only legal for me to drive it to and from storage and to and from car shows.  During the summer months I would go get an ice cream with my wife on Sunday afternoons in it just to keep everything lubed and the battery charged.  Obviously it was stored in a climate controlled environment over the winters.  

In fact, speaking of car shows, this truck was accepted by the Iola Car Show in 2009 as one of 50 "Under the Tent" vehicles.  This was the year the show was titled "Imports and Foreigns".  Due to a family issue, I had to cancel and did not bring it to the show.  But the mere fact that it was accepted gives you an idea of the level of perfection of this vehicle.  

There are many very nice FJ40's out there that have been restored by excellent shops.  But this is the only one I have ever seen that was restored by a bona-fide Toyota Dealer!  I bought this from a dealership owner in Illinois in July of 2008.  I have driven it about 250 miles during the last 5 years.  I would be happy to discuss the dealer who restored it with you over the phone, I will even give you his number if you want. 

The pictures tell the story.  You could literally lick this vehicle in almost any spot without worry.  It is impeccable.  

RAREST OF THE RARE FACTORY PTO WINCH.....Check out the MINT AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL FACTORY PTO WINCH!!!!  Finding an FJ with a functioning and beautiful factory winch is like seeing a Sasquatch for crying out loud.   For the uninitiated, the FACTORY PTO WINCH is why this vehicle has three separate sticks on the floor.  One of the stick shifters diverts the transmission to the PTO.  Once that is done you go to first gear to deploy the winch line, and you go back to second gear to pull in the winch line.  As you can see, the winch line is coiled perfectly.  I only used it once to make sure it worked.  I let out about two feet of line and immediately pulled it in.  I did not want to ruin the perfect coiling on the winch spool. 

If you look closely you will notice the engine even has the required pollution control equipment under the hood.  Like I said, BONE STOCK. 

The only thing that I have ever had any issues with since buying the vehicle is that the transmission "weeps" a little bit after driving it.   Probably could be fixed by tightening the bolts but I didn't touch it for fear of over torquing.  

I have clear Wisconsin title to the vehicle and the mileage is listed as exempt.  This is because the truck came to the restorer from Canada.  The engine was completely redone by the restorer and runs perfectly.  

 Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS VEHICLE?  It is very simple.  I like to DRIVE my vehicles.  This vehicle is NOT a daily driver.  It is a Barrett Jackson level restoration and should be owned by a serious collector.  

You wont find one better than this one, maybe you will find one as nice, but not better.  

BUYER - THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE MY POSSESSION UNTIL I HAVE CERTIFIED GOOD FUNDS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT.  Also, I am a very busy person and I travel frequently.  Once you have paid for the truck I will accommodate your shipper in any way I can.  If I am traveling I can arrange to have my father in law meet you to ship the vehicle.  

Good luck and email me if you want to ask any questions.   My name is Dave.

Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.

Expedition drives from Russia to Canada over North Pole...

Tue, 21 May 2013

No, a Ford Expedition did not drive from Russia to Canada via the North Pole, but that's exactly what a team of intrepid explorers accomplished recently. Using specially-modified buses with massive tires, the group slowly drove 2,485 miles in 70 days over drifting ice, occasionally using a pickaxe to clear a path and staying on guard for chasms that could open up and plunge the team into the frigid arctic waters. Average speeds were about 6 mph, "at the speed of a (farm) tractor." While the big tires technically allowed the buses to float if the need arose, the team preferred to stay out of the water to keep the suspension from getting coated in thick, hard ice. Falling in on foot would mean almost certain death.
According to Phys.org, the buses were powered by Toyota diesel engines, but were built with prototype parts from a previous driving expedition to the North Pole. Right now, the machines are parked in a garage in Canada's Resolute Bay while the the team rests up with family back home. They plan to continue their trek to back across the Bering Straight to Russia. If successful, the team may eventually offer a version of their buses for commercial sale.

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ

Mon, 19 May 2014

Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.
