This FJ40 is perfect for on road or off road use.  It is geared just perfect for off road and runs smooth on the highway. This is the perfect FJ40 that has never been abused and has been well cared for.  I take pride in this Landcruiser and it has never seen any serious rock crawling.  All U-joints and ball joints are in perfect condition.  The rig drives and brakes straight and is a pleasure to drive.

The red paint is not new, but it is a professional paint job that was done right. It looks like new paint because it is a super high quality.  There is NO RUST anywhere on this rig.  Notice in the pictures the custom body work where the gasoline fill caps are.  The rig has custom rock sliders and custom work to the front fenders as well.  All the parts are original Toyota FJ40.

I hate to sell this rig, but my father recently passed away and family comes first.  The FJ40 has always been garaged and I rarely drive it anymore.  It needs a good home with someone who will use it for what it is intended.

I am available on the weekends if anyone wants to come see the rig in person and drive it.  I live in the Sierra Foothills and have a local off road area we can take the rig so you can test it off road. Call 916-749-9350 to make appointment to see vehicle.

I am sure I am forgetting something about this rig.  IT has everything.  No cost was spared building this FJ40 to perfection.  Also comes with extra axles, driveshafts, wiper motors, and transfer case.

Buyer is responsible for picking up Hard top and hard doors.  If you do not want them, we can work something out.  But the hard top matches the rig. 

Buyer is responsible for shipping and transport of the vehicle after sale.  I will assist in arrranging to meet with transport service.  OR you can come here and drive it away!  I sold my brothers FJ40 to a guy in Colorado who flew to California and drove it home.  This vehicle does not come with a warranty and all sales are final. The vehicle has a clear California title and is currently registered and insured.  Buyer to send Paypal deposit of $700.00 within 48 hours of the close of auction.  I reserve to the right to cancel this auction at any time if the vehicle sells locally.  I am also willing to negotiate a sale outside of EBAY.  I will only accept full payment by cash in person or bank account transfer.

Good luck Bidding!

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.

Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
