1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  

I've been restoring this vehicle since April of 2013 and it has turned out far better than I expected.  I've gone to great lengths to keep it as stock as possible.  I've replaced or restored almost every part of this vehicle.  It runs excellent and drives strong.

Key items that people usually ask about:
  • Original Toyota 2F Straight 6-Cyl engine.
  • Original Toyota transmission and t-case.
  • Does not have Power Steering or AC.
  • Dune Beige paint code 416.
  • New seat upholstery.
  • New BF Goodrich MT 33x10.50 x 15 tires.  No more than 20 miles are on these tires.
  • All hardware is brand new and done in stainless steel.
  • Spectre air intake assembly.  
  • 124,812 original miles.  Odometer currently reads 24,812.
Restoration Process:
This vehicle started with very little rust.  I broke down the entire vehicle, sent every piece to the sand blaster (there's a pic or two of sandblasted parts), personally sanded every part, etched, primed and then sent all parts to a local body/paint shop for professional final body and paint work.  The vehicle is rust free, straight and flat.  The paint is beautiful, shiny, brilliant and vibrant in color.  (There are a couple pics that show the progress of the restoration).

The interior has a professional Hippo liner in the base tub from the real seal to the front fire wall.  The Hippo liner is rubberized and color injected (not painted on top of the liner).  The liner deadens sound and can take a beating.  The color exactly matches the rest of the vehicle.  The seats are professional upholstered and done in black.

As you can see from the pics there are too many parts to list that I purchased new for this restoration. From top to bottom this baby is new and fully functional.  All gauges and components of the electrical system are operational.  Drive train is strong.  Windows are operational.  Doors seal tightly and all have new weatherstripping.  I even completely disassembled the rear license plate holder and made sure it was working.

I can't think of anything else this land cruiser needs.  You are getting a stunning vehicle at half of the cost a professional restoration house would charge you.

Conditions for Purchase:
I require $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction.  I take wire transfer or bank check.  Once I verify the deposit, I will overnight the title to you.  Once you receive title, you have 5 working days to get me the remaining balance.  Im willing to help arrange shipping of the FJ40 or hold it for two weeks while shipping and/or pick up arrangements are made.

I've used this method of collecting payment/delivery of the title & vehicle many times.  I works great.  Please do NOT ask me to use PayPal - they only protect the buyer and give no insurance to the seller.  Not to mention they take 3% of the sale.

Questions & Seller Note:
I've restored a few FJ40's in my day and take great pride in the restoration.  With that said, I don't do this for a living - it's just a hobby.  The vehicle is not perfect - if it were you would be buying it from Cool Cruisers or ICON and be paying over $50k for the vehicle.  I've never had a complaint from anyone who bought an FJ40 from me.  I make sure they are completely happy and I've maintained a lot of friendships across the country from my transactions.  Please call me to talk about the FJ40 and/or to make me an offer.  I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  The vehicle is for sale as-is.

Contact Info:
I respond very quickly to a phone call or text to Dan 801-556-9399.  You're welcome to email through eBay but it might take me a few hours to respond.  Additionally, I will tell you that my last FJ40 sale people hesitated to click the "Buy It Now" button.  The vehicle sold to someone who called me and finalized the deal over the phone and I ended the auction early.  Afterwords, I had over 10 people call me and ask me if it sold and had regrets they did not click the "Buy it Now" button.  My price is fair given the quality and detail of this restoration and how it compares to others on the market.  Thank you and good luck!

2014 Toyota Tundra

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
