1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Ontario, Oregon, United States
|
This is a nice Cruiser that could and would be my daily driver if I didn't need a pick-up for work. I bought it about 8 years ago in Nampa, Id. The previous owner said he brought it up from California. Thats about all I know of its history. There are more things that I have fixed or upgraded over the last 8 years than I can remember but I will try to get most of it on here.
-Rebuilt original F155 Toyota 6 cylinder motor with plenty of pep and power. (about 10,000 thousand miles since rebuild.) -Radiator was rodded when engine was rebuilt. -Upgraded Australian H41 4 speed Toyota transmission. (This has a 4.925:1 1st gear rather than the American 3.555:1.) Still has the stock lower geared 3 speed transfer case which gives it a super nice crawling gear. And it is all stock Land Cruiser parts. -Center Force Dual Friction clutch. -Asian vacuum advance carburetor with vacuum advance distributer. (gives a little more pep and performs great off road even in high elevations.) -Toyota Mini Truck power steering. -New "HFS" 3 inch lift and 32/11.50 mud terrain tires.(about 60% tread remaining.) -U bolt skid plates. -Full custom roll cage with grab handles and a place for CB. -Best Top fold and tumble rear bench seat. -New dune beige paint. (2007) -Has Best Top soft top, summer top, and hard top.(Not painted or assembled but complete with some new gaskets and seals and enough paint, although its 7 years old, to finish it. All included with sale.) I had a body shop tell me that it would cost $1500 to repair all the rust and get the hard top painted and ready for install. Not too bad. ----WINCH NOT INCLUDED--- There is more, I'm sure. And there are lots of spare parts as well as stuff I have to still put on. I have black leather heated bucket seats from a Subaru and shoulder belts from a newer FJ40 I was going to install but have not gotten around to it. I will include all of this stuff with "buy it now price". This truck looks great but it is not perfect.(minor rust resurfacing, some paint chips and minor scratches from branches and things. "Desert pin striping" I guess you might call it. Gas will drain back out of the carburetor if the rig is not driven daily and make it take about 10 - 15 seconds of cranking to get started but it always starts and runs great. There are also a few small oil leaks but nothing serious. As far as I know these are the only mechanical issues. I get looks and compliments every time I drive it. But it is one of those rigs that I built and used for hunting and camping so the paint is no longer perfect. If you want a truck that looks good and has many of the upgrades needed for great off road capability then this is the Cruiser for you. I have owned and been building and improving this Cruiser with the intension of keeping it forever but an opportunity has come up for me that I would like to take advantage of so I am reluctantly selling. I can email you more pictures if you need them. Just let me know. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or delivery from Ontario, OR 97914. I may be able to deliver within 300 miles or so for a fee. I know we will be taking a trip to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks. So if you are anywhere in the southwest, this could be a good meeting place. Plus you could run the Rubicon with it. :) I will require a $2000 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Remainder will be due within 4 business days unless other arrangements are made with winning bidder. I also reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally as well. I will check emails daily and get back with answers to questions as quickly as I can. You can also call me at 541-212-6873. Leave message if I don't answer and I will call you back as soon as I am able. *****RESERVE PRICE HAS BEEN LOWERED FROM PREVIOUS LISTING***** On May-29-14 at 21:14:04 PDT, seller added the following information: I do have a file full of receipts, both parts and labor, for nearly all of the work that has been done to this rig since I have owned it. I can also get you pictures of the unfinished hard top if you would like them. There is very little rust in that either. |

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests
Thu, 19 Dec 2013All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.
Oh Buoy! Toyota sinks to Spongebob depths with custom Highlander
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The launch of the 2014 Toyota Highlander is being assisted by Bikini Bottom's number one resident, SpongeBob SquarePants. The new crossover has been wrapped with SpongeBob's square mug all over it as if he's saying "I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready," from every direction. Inside is a cabin that Toyota says "captures all of the beloved character's high-octane energy," but might make you question whether this is really the world you want to live in.
Revealed on SpongeBob Day at the San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants baseball game in San Diego, CA on July 13, the Highlander will go from there to seven locations nationwide on a "Happy Driving Tour," ending at the LA Auto Show in November.
You can read all about it in the press release below, as well as ways to fill your life with more SpongeBob than is probably healthy.
Toyota Prius line may not reach 2013 sales target
Mon, 22 Apr 20132012 was a good year for the Toyota Prius line, the hybrid that started it all moving 236,659 units, being the best-selling model in California for the year and the Prius C (pictured) being deemed the most reliable car of 2012 by Consumer Reports. Then 2013 happened, and gas prices dropped more than expected, and people haven't been buying the little hybrids like they used to.
A report in Bloomberg says Toyota set 250,000 units as the Prius family's sales target for this year, but hits like the double-digit drop in year-on-year performance in February have helped lower 2013 sales by 8.4 percent compared to 2012, making the objective "a challenge" to reach. The declines in Prius sales come even as hybrid sales overall were up in the first couple of months this year, including sales of other Toyota and Lexus hybrids. Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American chief, said the Prius target would be adjusted if necessary.
