This is either a great truck to do a little bit of work on and immediately take out and bang up on the trail or a start of a project! I bought it a few months ago so I could take the original F type motor, the heater parts and a few other parts put in a 73 FJ 40 I have that has a 350 in it. As is often the case, I have bitten off too much and I don't have time or energy to to go through with it. I'm in the middle of bringing a 72 FJ 55 back to life so something has to go. That is why I am selling this truck.
So...here is what you get that is good:
- Strong & solid running F type motor, choke works, starts a bit rough but give it a simple tune up and it would start right up. I took the air cleaner assembly off but it does come with the truck. Properly functioning transfer case & transmission. 2 WD High/4 WD High & Low all work. The clutch is working but needs adjusting or eventually replaced. Motor, trans & transfer can go for $1,500 plus
- Working breaks with new master cylinder, newer wheel cylinders in back and a couple new break lines. I just was trying to get the breaks working which I did so didn't do anything to drums or shoes.
- Front & rear heater
- Ok top. Some rust on back left and top has one spot that needs a little fiber glass repair. No headliner. Glass is all good and the back swing up window is in good shape and works. Tops alone can bring $400 to $900+.
- Good doors with no rust, good glass, right vent glass hinge is broken but an easy fix. Registers are stiff but a little work and they would be fine. Doors go for $175 to $275 easily.
- Good windshield glass no wiper motor.
- Dash is cracked but not ridiculous, most of knobs are intact and I have the glove box door and ash tray.
- Seats are way above average but could use some work and are extremely solid as a base for refurbishing. No head rests
- Roll bar & seat belt
Here is what you get that isn't good:
- Rust! It looks like this truck lived in northern Michigan and spent plenty of time in Canada so you can imagine. There is a rust through spot on the frame but everything considered not too bad and is pretty straight forward fix.
- needs taillights and front marker lights.
Thanks Kevin

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.
Autocar pits McLaren MP4-12C against turbo Toyota GT86
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The Toyota GT86, in all of its forms, is one of the best-handling cars money can buy, a trait that can put a smile on the faces of all but the most jaded car enthusiasts. But if good handling isn't what they're looking for, then what is? Our first guess would have to be more power, something the 200-horsepower Toyota would benefit from. Autocar tries out that theory by driving two turbocharged GT86s on track, then pitting the more powerful one against the 616-hp McLaren MP4-12C in a track battle.
The first GT86 turbo Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe drives makes around 255 rear-wheel horsepower and a bucket-load more torque than the stock car. That's plenty of power to either have a lot of fun or get into a lot of trouble. But the GT86 that Sutcliffe tails in the McLaren is race-prepped, stripped to the bone and wears slicks to harness a heavy-hitting 335 hp at the wheel. Weighing in at under 2,500 pounds, the Toyota can't overcome the MP4-12C's power-to-weight ratio of 5.3 pounds per horsepower, but it comes pretty close.
Enjoy a lot of chasing and drifting fun in the video below!
Toyota and Lexus recalling 235,000 hybrid CUVs and sedans over separate issues
Wed, 04 Sep 2013When it rains, it pours. Toyota has announced a pair of separate but voluntary North America recalls covering approximately 235,000 vehicles built between 2006 and 2011. The larger of the two recalls targets Toyota's hybridized crossovers, the Lexus RX400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. 133,000 units, including 2006-2010 Highlander and 2006-2008 RX crossovers are covered in the campaign. The other recall affects 102,000 IS350 sedans, IS350C convertibles and GS350 sedans built between 2006 and 2011.
With the CUVs, the faults in the parallel circuits of the transistors can cause heat damage in the inverter assembly, triggering an abundance of warning lamps and sending the vehicle into limp mode. The Lexus sedans are being recalled due to loose bolts on the variable valve timing controller. Detected by unusual underhood sounds on startup, the issue can cause the engine to stop while driving. The inverter issue is also triggering similar recalls in Japan and Europe.
At the moment, it's unclear if any of these issues have caused any crashes or injuries. Toyota says it plans to notify owners of the recall via snail mail. Additional information for owners can be found on the recall sites for Toyota and Lexus or by calling Toyota's customer service line, at 1-800-331-4331.
