This is a 1964 Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 LV wagon. This is an unrestored original that is very complete. It has the original inline 6 cylinder motor with the 3 speed column shift transmission. Axles are original with 4:11 gear ratio. The interior is also original. This vehicle was a daily driver until 2007 when the clutch failed. It has been parked since that time.

The clutch master and brake master were recently cleaned out and filled with fresh fluid. The brakes and clutch functioned but the fluid leaked out by the next day. The master cylinders did not have any significant pitting and would likely function with a rebuild kit. (The clutch master and slave operated but it still needs a new clutch and pressure plate.) The carburetor was also cleaned out and filled with fresh gas. The fuel line from the tank was disconnected as the gas has fouled. The engine fired right up and idled smoothe. There was minimal rocker noise and no other unusual sounds. This was a good daily driven motor before it was parked and should continue to run fine with fresh fuel and a minor tune up.

The carburetor is a Rochester single barrel unit from a 50s or 60s GM car. This was a popular conversion back in the day and the stock oil bath air cleaner fits right on it. This rig also has a GM alternator conversion and a remote oil filter set-up that uses the standard PH8A filter that newer Cruisers used.

This Cruiser has the typical rust for this year. The worst is in the rear quarters and the front of the rear wheel wells as shown in the pics. The drivers side front floor board also has rust.

The frame is solid and still has original paint in some areas. The axles are solid as well. There is no significant pitting in the metal like you see on cars from the eastern US or coastal areas. Shock mounts, gas tanks skid plate, drivelines, rear sway bar, and other pieces are present and in restorable condition. Tires are new 31x10.50R15s and are mounted on 1976 FJ40 wheels. These wheels can be used when doing a disc brake conversion.

Besides the rust, this Cruiser also has the following issues. The passenger side hinge for the rear upper hatch has broken away from the upper support. This will require the metal to be welded back in place. There is also evidence of a repair on the drivers side cowl area. It looks like it was hit in the side, just in front of the door. There is bondo up to 1/4 inch thick in this area.

The doors appear to be solid and there is no evidence of rust through. Some of the interior handles are missing and the front door latches are not holding the doors closed. The parts appear to be all there but need adjusting of refurbishing.

The glass is all there and is in good condition. Headliner is deteriorated but the bows are intact.

This is a good candidate for a restoration. There were very few of these imported in the US and according to some websites, less than 100 are known to exist.

The vehicle is available for inspection in Sheridan Wyoming. Please ask any questions before placing a bid.

This cruiser comes with a clear Wyoming title. I have it in my hand.

Toyota FCV Concept comes one step closer to reality

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

When Toyota first conceptualized a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle for mainstream Americans to drive, the initial response was pretty skeptical. Still, through relentless engineering and solid product after solid product, Toyota has built the Prius brand into the dominant force in the hybrid car market.
Something like that plan of attack is what the Japanese company is preparing for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well, and that attack is seeing a critical salvo fired today with the debut of this FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Though there's nothing substantive to be said about rumors of a 300-mile range or a sticker price around $50,000, the FCV concept does offer a few technical details. The sharp-beaked concept makes use of two high-pressure hydrogen tanks and boasts a power output density of three kilowatts per liter.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013


Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.

Toyota recalls 209,000 FJ Cruisers over seatbelt issue

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a substantial recall of the FJ Cruiser for a problem that could cause the front seatbelt retractors to separate from the vehicle body. This recall will apply to all FJ Cruisers - from 2007 through 2013 - totaling around 209,000 units.
The problem stems from the FJ Cruiser's pillarless door opening design that has the front-occupant seatbelts attached to the rear doors. Toyota says that when the rear doors are "repeatedly and forcefully closed," the retractor could completely separate from the door frame.
While there is no information about this recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration yet, Toyota says that there have been no accidents or injuries associated with this issue. No specific fix or recall date are given, but the official press release is posted below.
