1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40

Here is a very honest solid little FJ40. Purchased in Idaho by my client in 2005 then taken immediately to TLC in Van Nuys CA to have Jonathan Ward's ICON team do full "Stage Two" mechanical inspection and refurbishment which totaled $21,411. TLC inspected and refurbished everything mechanically in need, here is a partial list of the mechanical work done: all wiring and electrics refurbished, installation of "Old Man EMU" suspension and shocks, all tie rod ends updated, R&R cylinder head resurface and overhauled, new smog legal header/manifold, oil pan gaskets and all oil hoses refreshed, ignition fully serviced and parts replaced as needed, axels spindles and wheel bearings serviced and packed, cooling system checked and refreshed hoses etc., wheel cylinders and brake linings serviced and replaced as needed, R&R clutch disc and pilot busing and rear seal, all u-joints serviced, steering arms serviced and fuel system completely refurbished, new exhaust installed.

The car remains in excellent mechanical condition today having had regular services. This FJ has had sparing street use since 2005 covering less than 5k miles. It has been garaged whilst here in the Bay Area. Paint is decent and serviceable and appears to have had only one re-spray. Interior is not fully OEM (front seats changed) but nice and sanitary. Underneath the car is excellent, no rot, no rust holes, no corrosion and very clean with only very slight surface rust in some areas. No evidence of any leakage either evidently benefit of the TLC work performed.

The truck drives great! Tight, good clutch engagement, nice non-gronchy gearbox and good power, and everything works sans a radio (note hole in dash.) Interior is very clean and nicely detailed. Top, latches, bumpers, lights, emblems wheels and tires all look very nice although tires are as replaced in 2005 and should before heavy use be refreshed. On the whole, an extremely solid, well preserved, largely OEM stock Land Cruiser 4X4 with hard top in excellent mechanical and good cosmetic condition. This is a private part consignment FJ-40 being sold "as-is" by Driveline. The truck is located here in the SF Bay Area. Inspections welcome and please call 650-261-1777 for any questions.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.
