Thanks for all the inquires to date! I have only owned this vehicle for about 2 years. I don't know original mileage beyond what odometer has on it? A few updated pictures coming soon! In almost stock condition. Has a good paint job from previous owner in California. Drives well with all systems operational. I had planned to set up as a lifted, tough truck, but no time. I cleaned up but have left all blemishes to be seen for your knowledge of true condition. I put an Electronic ignition all in one distributor in it (a DUI mechanical advance version, all vacuum lines disconnected but left in place) new plugs, wires timed and tuned. Original 3 speed, trans and transfer case, engine all well.. locking hubs and 4x4 all working well! Drum breaks all around, runs, drives, stops, turns all well! Front doors and windows work very well. Electrical working, lights, wipers... Has a spare rear gas tank and is not fully connected but all seems to be there. Seat material almost perfect, 1 small tear. Has rear heater and stock spare tire carrier but not installed. As seen there is no door molding on the truck now (allows for a better view of condition) but the complete kit comes with the purchase. Minimal rust, very clean - I have attempted to show all know bad spots. Video available of running/driving. Nice FJ40 needing a good home. I would just put on a new the Weber carb as the current manual choke sticks but runs well. Also the back door handel needs to be replaced and to install the included weather stripping for doors to complete! All just recommendations, not really needed for this nice FJ40 to be a fine addition to your fleet! All part available from Performance, Man-a-fre, Cool Cruisers and other great resources for your fine Cruiser! Note, will sell for $12K buy now without the top and doors included!

Toyota reaches $1.2B unintended acceleration settlement in criminal probe

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

UPDATE: Just like that, Toyota has released an official statement confirming its $1.2-million dollar settlement with the US Attorney's Office. Our story has been updated to reflect this development and the automaker's official statement has been added below.
Toyota has reached a settlement over the criminal probe into its unintended acceleration problems, and the outcome is more expensive than first expected. The Japanese automaker has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to close the investigation among other settlement terms. The criminal inquiry focused on whether the company kept information from regulators and how it handled drivers' complaints about the problems, according to the sources.
Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota ended up recalling over 10 million vehicles worldwide over sudden acceleration fears. Fixes include modifying floor mats, gas pedals, and installing brake override software on affected models. In addition, Toyota made the latter standard on all of its new vehicles.

Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.

Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
