74 Toyota Fj40 Landcruiser With Chevy V8 Conversion Dark Green on 2040-cars
Ooltewah, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a 1974 FJ40 that has had the Chevy V8 conversion. The engine is a new Chevy 350 crate engine with less than 500 miles since installed. I had the turbo 400 transmission and transfer case rebuilt when they replaced the engine. This is built for a true off road vehicle, but can be driven on the road. It has a 4 inch lift and sits on 35 inch tires (that are new),It is in good shape for this year vehicle and had the typical rust in the rear quarter panels and along the back of the seats where the rear section meets the floor pan. I welded in metal along that section and put on the rear quarter panel covers over the bad spots. I did treat and paint the rust areas and they have been this way for the past 13 years I have owned and driven the vehicle. I repainted it last year, but it is just a rattle can paint job, great for off road cause you can touch up any trail rash with paint from local hardware or superstore. I have done many upgrades to the vehicle listed below. I am in the Chattanooga TN area, so you are welcome to see the cruiser if you are in the area. It has a clear TN title. I will only except cash or PayPal as payments for this vehicle. No international sales, but I can be available if someone wants to have the vehicle shipped in the US. Here is a list of what has been done to this cruiser: New crate 350 engine with less then 500 miles Rebuilt 400 turbo trans and transfer case New BF Goodrich 35 inch mud terrain tires (less then 200 miles on them) New Superwinch 9500 winch with cover New Hella high intensity driving lights Power steering 4 wheel disc brake conversion 4 inch lift, also less then 200 miles on it. New swing out rear tire bumper with 2" hitch Spare tire is match new BF Goodrich mud terrain Has a 4 barrel Holley Truck Dominator carb Newer battery Aluminum radiator New lights up front and in the rear New hold downs for the hood and windshield ARB rear air locker with onboard air compressor with air storage tank plumbed in. Newer adjustable seats Tuffy center locking console with a new Sony explode CD player with Ipod input 2 weather proof speakers Poly gas tank Rock lights New weather stripping on doors Soft top with hard doors. The soft top has a place on the roof where it rubs on the role bar that wore through. I have duct tape over it, and it is a small hole. Full roll bar CB radio with antenna Custome gauges (Spedo and odometer do not work, replaced the cable but no luck, not sure of milage but guessing over 100,000) As I said, this is set up for off road use, but it can be driven on the road. It does not have the greatest road manners with the power steering and large tires on a 4" lift. The 4 barrel carb also likes gas and these things are not the most fuel efficient vehicles to begin wth. As you can see from the list above a large amount of money has been spent on this cruiser to set it up for a serious 4 wheeling vehicle. I moved from another state and away from my wheeling friends and have no time to take it out anymore.No reserve on this auction and I will not end it early so please do not ask. |

Toyota U2 urban utility concept inspired by Maker Faire [w/video]
Tue, 09 Sep 2014There's a quiet revolution happening in US cities. People want to mix an urban lifestyle with a connection to nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The result of all of this is folks pursuing things as varied as urban farming, home brewing and the whole maker movement. Toyota thinks it has the perfect concept for these intrepid customers with its new Urban Utility concept that it is debuting during a panel discussion hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco and debuting publicly on September 20 at the World Maker Faire in New York City.
The Urban Utility concept can best be described as a modern take on the old panel van. Designers from Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California interviewed Maker Faire participants to find out what its users want from a novel vehicle like this. "Toyota saw an opportunity for a new approach to an urban vehicle based on increasing re-urbanization of our cities and urban drivers' desire for flexibility, fun and maneuverability," said Kevin Hunter president of Calty.
On the outside, the Urban Utility doesn't really scream for attention. It's meant to meet users "desire for greater utility but a smaller vehicle footprint," according to the release, but the shape is still very much a van. The designers do try to lend it some panache with the LED headlights up front and checker board side panels. It's really more about utility than looks, though, because the roof can roll back for taller loads, the rear glass retracts into the tailgate, and the whole rear can fold down as a ramp to load stuff more easily into the cabin. Toyota isn't talking about a powertrain yet but claims that the underbody is also especially durable for a long life in the big city.
Toyota plans biggest stock buyback in over a decade
Tue, 01 Apr 2014At the end of December, 2013 Toyota had a cash stockpile of 1.8 trillion yen ($17.5B US). As of March 31, at the end of its current financial year, company coffers are expected to swallow another 1.9 trillion yen ($18.4B US) in net profit - said to be a record sum for the Japanese automaker. In a gesture signaling a turnaround from the horrors of the global recession, Bloomberg reports that Toyota will buy back 60 million shares of its stock, as much as 1.89 percent of the company, for something like 360 billion yen ($3.5B US). It's the first buyback since 2009 and the largest buyback since 2003, when it spent roughly 390 billion yen ($3.8B US) repurchasing shares.
Company president Akio Toyoda founded the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), a non-profit that will support international groups working on transportation issues in emerging markets. Half of the stock that Toyota buys, 30 million shares, will be sold to the foundation via the Japanese Trustee Services Bank for one yen per share, the dividend providing the foundation's initial funding. The other 30 million shares will be canceled, a company spokesman telling Reuters that the company wants to reward shareholders.
Industry analysts have been asking Toyota to either return money to shareholders or invest in new factories, but Toyota has ruled out the latter. After getting burned with excess capacity when the financial crisis came, the company is focused on extracting efficiencies from the plants it already has. Toyota has said it plans to complete the buyback by June of this year.
VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.
