Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier

Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. 

This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in. The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall.

 

It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any auto paint supply store.

 

I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest Roll bar.

 

Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used, Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel. Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which will need to be upholstered.

 

New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape, but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away.

 

Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts replaced. It is in great shape.

 

Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself.

The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is “showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out.

  

There are other parts as well, and please call if you have any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks.

Toyota recalls slew of models for possible airbag calibration defect

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Toyota is recalling sixteen models from the 2009 to 2013 model years over a potential issue with passenger seat airbag calibration. In spite of the large number of different Toyotas covered by the recall, just 3,235 units are included. These were vehicles installed with accessories like leather seat covers and headrest DVD systems by Southeast Toyota Distributors, and during the modifications the passenger seat occupant sensor system might not have been calibration tested. If the sensors aren't set up properly, the passenger airbag might not work as it should.
Affected models include: Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Prius, Prius V, Rav4, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra and Venza. Scroll down for the relevant model years for each.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall will begin this month. Southeast Toyota will inform owners, at which time they can take their Toyotas to dealers for testing and repair. The complete bulletin from the NHTSA with more information is below.

2015 Toyota Camry

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Every car has its definitive year. Whether it be the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang, or yes, even the ubiquitous Toyota Camry, 10.2 million of which have been sold since 1983, every car has its year. For the Camry, that year was 1992. With son-of-Lexus styling, a clear sense of purpose and a parent company that had hit its stride as the purveyor of faultlessly reliable family transportation devices, the Camry got its legs in 1992. It's a car that even your mom is likely to remember, even if she never owned one herself.
The Camry you see here represents the closest Toyota has come to emulating the magic formula that made the 1992 model the stuff of legends. Compared to the 2014 model, some 2000 of the car's 6,000 parts are new, most of them involving things you can see or touch (on the outside, for example, only the roof carries over from 2014).
It's not a full redesign, but nevertheless it's a stunning development considering the predecessor upon which it's based only survived two model years. That's a testament to both the hyper-competitive nature of the family sedan segment and the lukewarm critical response that the outgoing car garnered. But that's in the past now - after driving this 2015 model, we suspect the new car's changes will be thorough enough to continue pulling in new customers by the hundreds of thousands each year for the foreseeable future.
