 I've owned this cruiser for almost 30 years. It has been sitting garaged for about the last 20 and has not been on the road in that time. There are many many "new" parts (they were new 20 years ago!) and some aftermarket, as well, from both Specter Off-Road and Manafre (two Landcruiser aficionado companies if you're familiar with them). It has the original engine and trannie but with added headers, Weber carb, and aftermarket super-strong Delco starter and distributor (from Manafre, I believe). The wiring harness has been completely replaced, small shackle and suspension lift, new springs in the front, new steering parts, brake booster, center arm bracket kit, clutch slave cylinder rebuilt, etc... The wheel cylinders and master cylinder were just rebuilt last year, points and condenser replaced, and it has a new Diehard battery. The front-end is a fiberglass one piece unit. I was getting it ready to go back on the road but realized I am just not around enough to make it worthwhile (I live overseas). The truck starts up great. It does suffer from the usual body rot of FJ40's and there are a variety of patch jobs and customs rebuilds on the body. The frame has been welded in the front on both sides and is slightly bent on one side (I think the truck was hit years ago though not by me). However, I drove it for years around town and on the highway, as well. Even took it up to northern Vermont. A little TLC should get it road ready. Come and take a look...before someone else does. Buyer needs to arrange for transport from the trucks current location.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it

Thu, 05 Jun 2014



Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.
