1982 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, Black, Chevy 355, Auto Trans, Power Steering on 2040-cars
Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States
This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done. Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts. I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver. I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle. I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months. I did not drive it in the winter. This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle. If you have any questions, please ask. The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth. The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride. It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane. At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400. It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed. (new torque converter too) The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings. The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members. Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop. Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well. New: Engine/Trans Brake master cylinder New Saginaw steering gear retrofit Anti-Wrap / Traction Bar installed to protect pinion in High torque situations Fuel tank (poly) and sending unit New Cooper ST 33x12.5x15 tires (full size spare included) *May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones. *Pre purchase inspection and local pickup can be arranged. Buyer has full responsibility for setting up shipping and all expenses. Other arrangements can be discussed. $300 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hrs after auction ends. Balance due within 7 days of auction ending. Vehicle will not be released until all funds have been deposited and cleared by my bank. Clear and clean Michigan Title is available. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding. FJ is for sale locally as well. Thanks for looking. |

Toyota celebrates 30th anniversary of Land Cruiser 70 with Japan rerelease [w/videos]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014It's a common refrain among auto enthusiasts to bemoan the current models being sold for being overly complex and expensive and to wish that automakers would just make vehicles like the old days. Sure, they might not have been as safe or efficient, but there was often a certain rugged simplicity that's gone today. Well, Toyota is actually doing it and thinks there's enough demand to put the Land Cruiser 70 back into production in Japan for its 30th anniversary. Sadly, it's only for one year.
The original Land Cruiser 70 served a long life in Japan from 1984 to 2004. Even today, the proven model remains in production in some regions abroad. People in its home country still love the vehicle though, and Toyota is brushing off the mothballs to give customers what they want. For the first time ever there, it's also offering the double-cab pickup version in addition to the traditional enclosed body. The company thinks that it can move about 200 of these classic trucks this year, which isn't too shabby for a vehicle that's three decades old.
Looking at the pictures above, these look like the same old Land Cruisers, but Toyota is updating them slightly to meet modern safety rules. The grille, hood and headlights are all tweaked, and they now come with airbags and anti-lock brakes. A 4.0-liter V6 is under the hood making 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) and 266 lb-ft of torque (360 Newton-meters), and the only available gearbox is a five-speed manual. Part-time four-wheel drive is standard. If you're really afraid of getting stuck in the wilderness, locking front and rear differentials and a winch are available as options.
Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan
Sat, 12 May 2012Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.
Are you the facelifted Toyota Yaris?
Fri, 28 Mar 2014As basic transportation goes, there's not a lot to complain about with the Toyota Yaris. The five-door hatch (not to mention its JDM cousin, the Vitz) are due for upgrades, though, having toddled along in its current form since the 2011 model year. Now, we have what looks to be leaked images of the new Yaris, straight from a Japanese brochure.
The next-gen Yaris was previewed in Frankfurt by the Yaris Hybrid-R Concept. Surprisingly, both the standard version and the RS (shown above) share a strong resemblance with the Frankfurt concept. That gaping lower intake remains, while a pointy, sharp front end shares a resemblance with the new Aygo city car (though the Yaris won't have a giant X on its face like its smaller cousin). The lower intake is flanked by a pair of what we're guessing are non-functional grilles, which house the fog lights. There are only a few small images of the rear of the car, which looks more like an evolution of the current five-door hatch.
The interior looks rather racy, with a small, thick-rimmed, leather-wrapped steering wheel and black cloth seats with red contrast stitching. There's a bright red button to the right of the steering wheel on this right-hand-drive JDM model, which could indicate the arrival of pushbutton start. Under hood of this Mazda-built Toyota should be a Mazda Skyactiv engine. That gives us hope that this latest Toyota compact will be imbued with some sense of driving fun.
