About us:   Amazonia-4x4 is a small family owned company located on the Treasure Coast (Hobe Sound, FL)   with over five years of experience in Restorations specialized in Toyota Land Cruisers FJ40s. Most of the work is done by us in our premises except for the paint job which is done at a professional Body Paint shop (Massey Yardley Body Shop). All the restoration process is documented with lots of pictures that we will provide to the winner on a CD as a courtesy.

Vehicle Description:

     Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser 1979 with all the body parts taken apart and eventually sand blasted for better future rust prevention (primed, sealed and painted with BASF quality paint), the whole frame was sand blasted as well and immediately primed and painted with Professional black color in order to be restored. Undercarriage was completely black rubberized with excellent quality liner to prevent even more rust issues and give it a better nice looking finish to it.

     Most of bolts, washers and nuts were replaced for full threatened Stainless Steel, and all other bolt and nuts and pieces that we did not replace for stainless steel were restored, replaced for zinc plated ones or painted as well.

   Inside the body, we used a Professional grade tintable spray in liner (not painted over) to give the vehicle a better look and even more rust protection. So, if you have kids or a pet, well, no problem, you can carry them inside the vehicle without being afraid to scratch it, stain or damage the paint.

   New upholstery in all 4 factory seats with marine grade vinyl, and a small color detail in the piping matching the vehicle color as well. All the seats frames were sand blasted, primed and black painted for excellent quality and finish. For better ride entertainment we installed a Sony Marine USB/iPod ready stereo and 4 sony marine speakers.

     The engine: This is a great 6 cylinders Toyota 2F completely refurbished (not rebuilt) with new gaskets and seals and the most important with all OEM Toyota parts in it. Compression was tested and as you can see in the detailed pictures, it was over 150psi each piston, and excellent leak down test. This engine has only original 42,600 miles in it (miles could vary due that we have it for sale locally and most of the time people want to take a test drive).

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Toyota mints 10-millionth vehicle in Kentucky

Fri, 30 May 2014

In 26 years, from 1988 up to now, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky plant in Georgetown has built ten million vehicles - nearly enough for every citizen of Seoul, Korea or the nation of Hungary. The first car to roll off the line back when the claymation California Raisins were singing old Marvin Gaye hits and everybody wanted to know Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a white Camry. The ten-millionth car to roll off the line among the Avalons and Venzas also produced there: a white Camry Hybrid.
Toyota has put $5.9 billion into the site since its inception, employment is up to 7,000 associates and will grow when Lexus ES350 assembly begins next year. Whereas car number one is a showpiece for the ages, one of the automaker's current associates will get to win the ten-millionth car in a blind drawing to be held this summer.
There's a press release below with more information on the impressive milestone.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
