Toyota Land Cruiser Landcruiser Fj40 Restored Gm Ramjet Arb Rockcrawler on 2040-cars
Powderhorn, Colorado, United States
|
I am helping an old customer / friend sell his Land Cruiser collection. This is his 1972 FJ40 Custom Restoration. The restoration was professionally done a number of years ago and the cruiser has only been driven a few miles a year for the last few years.
This cruiser is a good value for the person wanting a great, professionally built, custom FJ40 with almost every feature. Having a cruiser built like this at any shop now would cost 60K-80K plus. Read below about the features and the condition and then email with any questions. I have the cruiser at my house so I can take any additional pictures upon request. I know the risks of buying a vehicle on eBay so I want to be completely up front about the condition of the rig and provide answers to all of your questions so there will be no surprises. Please keep in mind that a winning bid on eBay is a contract to buy, not just the right to come look at the vehicle and decide if you want to buy it. I am requiring a $1000 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of the end of the auction, so please only bid if you've communicated with me, and you are a serious buyer. I will consider adding a buy it now price if you are a serious buyer. Features:
Condition: With this few of miles after the restoration, this Land Cruiser is still in very good shape. After driving it about 70 miles to my house from the warehouse where it was stored for the last 7 years, I did notice a few cosmetic blemishes. There is a small crack in the bodywork on the rear quarter panel, and the passenger door has rubbed on the windshield frame where the top pulled it back too far. There is a dent in the body by the passenger side front fender. The undercarriage is still in freshly restored condition and looks great. The frame was powder coated during the resto. The underside of the body is coated in the same liner as the inside and firewall. Mechanically the vehicle is still in excellent condition. There are only 655 miles on it since everything was replaced, renewed, or inspected. There was a few drops of ATF under the torque convertor which may indicate a leaky front tranny seal, possibly from sitting. The transmission fluid is still at the correct level and the vehicle ran, shifted, and drove very well during my 70 mile trip home. I was disappointed at the stiffness of the ride and blame the shocks. SOA suspensions like this are traditionally known for providing a soft ride. I recommend switching to bilstein 5125 series shocks, which will provide a much better ride, plus they look better. Please contact me with any questions and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thanks |

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
