BEAUTIFUL 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LANDCRUISER FRESHLY RESTORED










WELCOME TO MY AUCTION:


HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A BEAUTIFULLY FRAME ON RESTORED 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LAND CRUISER.

THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOUTHWEST TRUCK. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE NEW

MEXICO AND HAS BASICALLY SPENT IT'S WHOLE LIFE HERE. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL DEALER

WINDOW STICKER FROM NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE.


I AM A RESTORER OF THESE TOYOTA'S . WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IT CAME WITH A FILE FROM THE

PREVIOUS OWNER OF MECHANICAL REBUILDING, MANY MANY RECEIPTS FROM HIS OWNERSHIP.

BEFORE I STARTED THE RESTORATION OF THE BODY AND INTERIOR, I KNEW THE MECHANICS ON THE

FJ40 WERE JUST SUPER. THE TRUCK HAS NO LEAKS! THE ENGINE IS AS SMOOTH AS A SEWING

MACHINE.


NOW FOR WHAT I DID TO THE TRUCK. VIEW ALL PHOTOS SINCE IT SHOWS THE TEAR DOWN AND

REBUILD. THE COMPLETE BODY WAS DISASSEMBLED AND MEDIA BLASTED TO SEE WHAT WAS NEED FOR

A PROPER REPAINT. THE TOYOTA MUSTARD COLOR YOU SEE IS THE FACTORY COLOR IT CAME WITH.

THE TRUCK IS PAINTED WITH DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL INSIDE AND OUT, TOOK THREE GALLONS OF

PAINT FOR THE BEAUTIFUL FINISH YOU SEE HERE TODAY. THE PAINT FINISH IS OUTSTANDING. THE

TRUCK HAD NO FLOOR RUST.  

I ELECTED TO RHINO LINE THE INTERIOR FLOOR SURFACES FOR FUTURE USAGE AND PROTECTION

FROM THE ELEMENTS. AS YOU CAN READ ON THE DEALER STICKER THE TRUCK HAD BEEN UNDERCOATED

BEFORE IT WAS FIRST SOLD, THAT IS WHY THIS TRUCK WAS IN SUCH NICE CONDITION. THE TRUCK

SHOWED TO NEVER HAD BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENTS. EVERY PIECE OF

SHEET METAL ON THIS TRUCK IS ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF THE REAR SILL UNDER

THE AMBULANCE DOORS. THE SILL WAS SHOWING RUST BLISTERS, I ELECTED TO REPLACE RATHER

THAN REPAIR.

EVERYTHING PAINTED SILVER ON THE TRUCK IS ALSO PAINTED IN DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL. ALSO

EVERYTHING THAT IS IS WHITE IS PAINTED THE SAME WAY.

MOST OF THE ASSEMBLY HARDWARE WAS REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS.

YOU ARE VIEWING PHOTOS OF THE TRUCK IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE RESTORATION.

ALL SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE ALONG WITH THE FOAM IN FACTORY COLOR. I ALSO ADDED A NEW

CARGO MAT FOR THE REAR AND NEW MATS FOR THE FRONT.

ALL GAUGES FUNCTION AS NEW, TRUCK IS JUST A LITTLE OVER 72,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. ALL

ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN GONE THROUGH. ALL LENSES FOR LIGHTS REPLACED.

ALL WINDOW WIND LACE WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS DOOR SEALS. DOORS SHUT LIKE A NEW CAR.

TRUCK, HAS NO RATTLES OR SQUEAKS.

ALL GLASS IS EXCELLENT.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD DONE SOME OF THE CHROME YOU SEE . I ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T JUST

BUY THE NEW STAINLESS PARTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE? HE SAID HE DID BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE QUALITY

SO HE ELECTED TO HAVE THE BRIGHT WORK YOU SEE CHROME PLATED INSTEAD. THE THINGS HE DID

SHOW VERY NICE.

THE TRUCK HAS 5 NEW NEXEN ALL TERRAIN TIRES . THESE TIRES HAVE THE PLACES FOR STUDS IF

NEEDED FOR YOUR CLIMATE. THEY ARE 10.50X 31X15 INCH, THESE MAKE THE TRUCK STAND UP

PROUD. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS TRUCK HAS NOT HAD THE REAR FENDERS CUT OUT AND FLAIRS ADDED.

THE TRUCK WILL COME WITH A FOLDER FULL OF RECEIPTS FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE AND THE PREVIOUS

OWNER HAD DONE.

THIS CRUISER DOES NOT HAVE POWER STEERING OR AIR CONDITIONING.

BID WITH CONFIDENCE, THIS IS A GORGEOUS FJ40 THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD TO OWN.

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner

Mon, 20 May 2013

If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.

Toyota pondering high-performance GT86 hybrid?

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

From what Autocar has to say, Toyota has even more plans for the GT86 beyond the convertible concept we just saw at the Geneva Motor Show. Along with a planned midcycle facelift, Toyota is reportedly looking at how to pack some extra ponies under the coupe's hood, and while there has already been a lot of talk about superchargers and turbochargers, it sounds like a performance-boosting hybrid system could also be in the works.
Talking to Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, Autocar has learned that the automaker is considering an electrical motor assist for the sporty coupe to improve performance without harming fuel economy. In attempting to keep weight - and, presumably, costs - down, the article mentions the use of a system closer to what Honda uses for its Integrated Motor Assist rather than a full Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in current Toyota hybrids. Tada says the added weight of the system could be offset by weight reduction, while aerodynamic changes and a lower center of gravity could improve the car's handling.
No word yet on whether a mild hybrid system would find its way to North America's Scion FR-S - let alone its Subaru BRZ twin - but the thought is certainly an intriguing one.

The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
