1965 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. This FJ45 has spent the bulk of its life in Arizona with the last 12 years in a dry, low humidity part of Washington state. I bought this truck because it didn't have any rust in it which is unheard of in these rigs. I then commenced a complete six month frame off restoration. The engine and transmission are not original to this truck. The anemic F1 engine has been replaced by an F2 engine with 20,000 original miles. The 3 speed has been replaced with a later 4 speed transmission. Power steering was installed to aid in the comfort of driving while at low speeds and in tight surroundings. The truck is repainted in its original color, Horizon Blue. The paint is show quality. The pickup bed has been sprayed with Horizon Blue bed liner. 

This is the convertible version of the FJ45 pickup. The top and doors are easily removed and the windshield can be laid down flat on the hood. The winch is early Japanese made and appears to be original to the truck.

I have not undercoated the FJ deciding to leave it natural because of its high quality condition. The engine has not been detailed, which I will leave to you. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to replace the original tailgate, which is not perfect.

The restoration was performed by a team of professionals that I have used at least a dozen times over the last 15 years. They are chosen for the quality of their work, not for the fees they charge. Excellence is the goal. This truck starts, runs and drives very well. Everything works, except for the horn, which I have elected to not hook up. Everything on this truck has been inspected and refurbished, if necessary, always striving to use original parts when available.

We've done our best to maintain the originality of this truck. It is a stunning restoration that will last for another 50 years!

Toyota recalling select 2014 Camry and Avalon models

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Toyota has announced a rather small voluntary recall, affecting 5,650 Avalon and Camry sedans from model year 2014. Both gas and hybrid models are included in the action.
This recall focuses on the left front lower suspension arm, which may have a bad bolt connecting it to the ball joint. If the car hits a big enough pothole - a real concern as we head into winter - or suffers a major impact, the two components could separate, at which point steering control would more or less vanish.
According to Toyota, there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths due to this problem. Toyota is notifying owners, who will need to report to dealers for a free replacement lower suspension arm.

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.

Toyota headed to New York with 2014 Highlander, revised Scion tC

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Toyota has given us a look at what the company will bring to the 2013 New York Auto Show. Visitors will get to set their eyes upon the all-new 2014 Highlander, and while the automaker isn't saying much in the way of details, we do get the teaser you see above (click to enlarge) to ponder on until next week. The image shows little more than a headlamp and a bit of grille, but gives us the flavor of what the crossover will bring to the table.
Scion, meanwhile, says it plans to dust off the "new 2014 tC sports coupe." While we don't imagine the two door will have undergone a major surgery, we're interested to see what the automaker has cooked up. The tC last endured a redesign in 2011. Check out the brief press release below and look for the vehicles to bow on March 28.Y
