Rare Toyota Landcruiser Fj40 Fj 40 Land Cruiser 1978 Original Barn 4wd Find on 2040-cars
Amelia, Ohio, United States
|
This 1978 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser is as stock as I'm able to keep it
with 94k original miles. I bought it off the previous owner who owned
this TLC for about 30 years. It spent much of its life in Utah where
climate is dry. It has never been used for rock-crawling.
The emission system has not been tampered with and is all original. Mileage shown is believed to be actual as the odometer has never been inoperative during the time-period of our ownership, but mileage may increase from that pictured. The original owner's manual, jack, and tire tools and their pouch are included. All mechanical and electrical items function including lights, horn, wipers, radio, turn signals, window cranks, door latches and locks. I have the original keys for doors, ignition, gas cap door and rear door. Repairs, which have been rare, are made using original Toyota parts and generally accomplished by a Toyota dealership. It has manually locking front hubs. The transfer case has high and low speeds, and the 4-speed transmission easily up-shifts and down-shifts. We have never used it for towing but does have a hitch. It is extremely reliable and has never let us down a single time. It has the original 6-cylinder engine and boosted disc brakes. It has no power accessories, air conditioning, cruise control, sound insulation, etc. It has a rear-seat area heater. The paint is original except for professionally repaired and painted rust spots on the front fenders, rear quarter panels and beneath the rear door. Some small rust spots appear on the inside right rear fender, where steps join the body and on hood latches. The pan and frame show very little rust considering the vehicle's age, but springs, hubs and shackle area do show surface rust. The skid plates show no sign of ever being in contact with hard objects. No rust is seen that affects structural integrity. It has never been in an accident. An inch-long crack is in the vinyl dash. A CB antenna is installed on the rear. Rear speakers are installed but are low-tech by today's standards. Original vinyl seat covers are on the seats. The tires are brand new BF Goodrich that were $200 each. I also just installed brand new Bilstein shocks. There is no leaks on anything on this cruiser. It starts when cold with half-choke; it idles nicely and doesn't hesitate when accelerating. I just put a new clutch and water pump within the last month. The vehicle is kept garaged but is 34-years old and has expected age-related minor flaws, all of which are not listed here. This vehicle has no warranty and is being sold "as-is." |

This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother
Tue, 09 Jul 2013Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Tastes clearly vary, and there's not as much love for the first-wave of Japanese metal as there is for similar era American-iron, but we're pleased to see these cars finally getting more time in the spotlight. Scroll down below to see why we're stoked, and consider cruising your local Craigslist for late 1970s and early 1980s Japanese coolness (before we get there first).
Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
Toyota renews Supra trademark, we renew frothing at the mouth
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Enthusiasts have been begging for a new Supra practically since Toyota stopped selling its fourth generation in the US way back in 1998. We've been hearing rumors about a successor for years, but the Toyota FT-1 Concept from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show is the first tangible sign from the automaker that a new generation may be on the table. To temp us even more, the Japanese company reportedly filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week to renew its 2010 trademark for the name "Supra."
Granted, these kinds of trademark updates aren't uncommon, as automakers don't want to lose their rights to nameplates (even if they have no immediate plans to use them). However, Toyota briefly abandoned its rights to the Supra name entirely. According to The Motor Report, the original trademark was continually renewed until 2006, but the Japanese automaker let it lapse in the US until applying for it again in 2010.
The FT-1 Concept in Detroit was created at Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California and carries cues from the 2000GT, Celica and Supra in an ultra-curvy body. Officials did not disclose anything about its powertrain. Toyota is also co-developing a future sports car platform with BMW that will underpin models from both companies, but few other details are konwn, and it isn't yet clear that the joint venture has anything to do with a future Supra. Hope springs eternal.
