Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Fuel gauge is inoperative, minor scratches and chips in paint, fading paint on rooftop, roll bar rubs against tire slightly on tight turns, odometer is stuck at 42,699."

You are bidding on a 1978 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser that has had some restoration done to it. The previous owner kept the vehicle garaged in Midlothian, VA and was only used as a fun weekend vehicle. The paint job speaks for itself in the pictures. No rust. There is some fading on the roof and some very small, minor chips/scratches but overall it is in great condition. The previous owner also made the conversion to a Chevy 350 V8 engine, 4 speed transmission. Starts and runs with no problems. Additional features: Mud King XT 32 x 11.5R x 15 LTM+S Tires, full custom roll bars, seats are original leather and are in excellent condition, Hella Fog Lamps (wiring still needs to be completed), upgraded metal brake lines, full Rhino undercoating, new muffler, tailpipe, battery, and car cover. The rear quarter panel of glass was fixed with Lexan DIY but should be an easy replacement for less than $50. Fuel gauge is stuck (unsure if it's the gauge or transmitter). Air conditioning does not work. Heater does. Radio works but an antenna needs to be installed. The front tires rub against the roll cage if you take a turn to tight or fast. It could use a 1-2" lift. Folding ambulance style seats in the rear. This vehicle is in good running condition and needs just a little more love to get it fully restored. Most of the restoration items are minor things. The only reason I am selling is because I am in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii. The vehicle is in Virginia with my parents. I haven't had much opportunity to drive it or spend restoring it. I had to buy another vehicle here in Hawaii recently when my daily driver died. I'd love to keep it but I just don't have the time to put into it right now and want to find a good home with someone who does have the time and money. The vehicle needs to be seen to be appreciated. It's a head turner and I got stopped whenever I made a run to the store or at a stoplight with people complimenting or asking about it.

Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.

Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.

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.
