VEHICLE CONDITION:
This 1978 Toyota FJ cruiser was originally owned by the state of Washington. Bureau of Land Managment. It was used to chase bears away and perform other BLM chores. All the maintainance was done according to specifications and the records were reviewed by the car collector I bought the car from. It was stored in his warehouse and used as a sunday driver around town. I purchased this FJ40 around 6 years ago from him and it has been garaged since. I used to drive it on weekends around town with my kids who are now much older and have moved on to "more interesting" weekend fun so it's time for this gem to find a new home.
NOTE: This is not a restored FJ. It is a very well maintained and original SURVIVOR.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE:
HFS (Hell for stout) suspension from CCOT (Cool cruisers of Texas) Toyota springs with CCOT Brass Shackles etc.,
BF Goodrich tires with less than 500 miles on them.
Replaced headliner.
New rubber and window seals in great shape, no rattles.
Rims powder coated white.
Seat belts new.
New master cylinder.
Like new bucket seats.
Flip down seats in great shape.
Is set up for towing with plug reciver and bumper brackets for Blue Ox tow bar (tow bar not included).
Passes California smog and has original smog specs under the hood (very important).
Original LandCruiser manual.
Original 2F 4.2 LT. six cylinder motor runs great.
All features work as they should. Heater, directional signals, brake lights, headlights, running lights.
This FJ40 shifts great. The 4x4 and 2x4 all work nicely. The brakes, parking brake and clutch are all good to go.
The color is Buffalo Brown and and as you can see by the photos is in excellent condition.
I have taken pictures of the few small areas of imperfection. The dash has two cracks. There is a small chip on the hood where it touches the roof with the hood up. There are 3 very small areas where the paint is bubbling about the size of a quarter and dime. These spots are on the drivers front fender and the drivers door, bottom outside.
There is a small oil leak in the rear main seal.
I have talked to Spector offroad and the folks at CCOT and the gasket to fix it is cheap but the labor is not. The experts tell me they all leak, so if fixed, the leak will just return in a few years. Anyway I did not bother.
The radio is AM/FM with CD player. The speakers are in the original spot but have been replaced. No holes were drilled or cutouts made to replace the old speakers. The trim piece for the stereo was modified slightly to accommodate the the new stereo but I have the original trim piece should you want to put the original AM radio back in.
She is a beauty, in excellent original condition. I have many more pictures for those interested. Please be specific when asking for additional photos because I have over 100. I was limited to 24 shots by EBAY.
I will help with shipping.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION so
Good luck bidding to all interested.

Toyota recalling 20k 2014 and 2015 cars and CUVs with 3.5L engines
Thu, 18 Sep 2014Toyota has announced a recall of roughly 20,000 vehicles covering the 2014 Avalon, Camry, Highlander (pictured) and Sienna, as well as the 2015 Lexus RX luxury crossover. The affected vehicles are all powered the 2GR-FE engine, which in layman's terms, is Toyota's well-regarded 3.5-liter V6.
According to Toyota's statement, a parts supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment" correctly, meaning fuel could leak. Leaking fuel, of course, increases the chance of an engine fire. That said, no fires, crashes or injuries have been reported due to the issue.
Owners will be notified to report to dealers, where techs will check the fuel delivery pipe and fit a replacement part as necessary.
2015 Toyota Sienna
Thu, 25 Sep 2014It's hard to love a minivan, but it's very, very easy to use one. More than any other kind of vehicle - save a panel van, perhaps - the minivan is the most appliance-like of four-wheeled transportation devices. And most minivan buyers don't need to love their purchases; they just need to use them. So when it comes to a minivan's driving dynamics, who cares?
Well, we do. So we perked right up when Toyota talked about refinements it made to the 2015 Sienna, starting with some 142 added spot welds made to the body structure. Normally not stop-the-presses stuff, but Toyota says the added reinforcements prompted Sienna engineers to recalibrate the springs and shocks for improved handling, and our very limited wheel time along the (admittedly benign) roads on the Big Island of Hawaii revealed the 2015 Sienna SE model's handling to be tidier and more engaging than you'd expect for a porky, 4,560-pound, eight-passenger box on wheels.
Driving Notes
2015 Toyota Camry targeting 'more emotional' design
Sun, 19 Jan 2014There are many ways to describe the Toyota Camry: "comfortable," "economical," "affordable," "reliable" and "dull as a bucket of mayonnaise" would all be accurate. It's this last one that the Japanese brand is seeking to change. While we aren't expecting it to suddenly sprout a high-revving V8, a rear-drive layout or razor-sharp handling, a report from Bloomberg suggests we should at least expect a more evocative design from one of the best-selling cars in the country.
The next Camry update, due for 2015, should have a "more emotional, more impactful design," says Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio. That's according to Bloomberg, who caught up with the styling boss at this week's Detroit Auto Show. "Camry's taken some hits on styling, but it's still selling well. But we need to create better design for Camry in the future."
