1967 FJ40 Landcruiser 4X4 is not shiny, nor civilized....instead, built to be violent and rugged. Has front and rear locking differentials, 3 speed manual transmission. The engine is the famous aluminum head ZZ4 found in the Jegs catalog. It has the loudest flowmasters available. Transmission and transfer Case are original and recently rebuilt with all new bearings and seal. Transfer Case is still vacuum operated, so is a bit cantankerous engaging 2 to 4 wheel drive, but does work. It still has the original "one pump wonder" drum brakes (with new components) and is not vacuum assist. Needless to say, the phrase "refined stopping features" do not apply. They work fine, for what they are. As outrageous as this truck looks, it actually drives fast and handles well. You can steer with one hand, while cruising on the Interstate, although I don't recommend it. The fold-down tow bar is functional and the optional skull, goes with it. The speedo cable is bad, so the actual miles are not going to be correct.
Overall, being a vintage 1967, it does have rust and patch panels, here and there. It also has some pretty crude Bondo work on one fender and mostly a paint job from spray cans, so the point is: don't expect a cosmetic creampuff....at least you don't have to worry about door-dings at Walmart.
It has a true Skyjacker 4" lift suspension system and does not squeak or rattle. Despite the cosmetics, it actually is a reliable road driver. It is LOUD and CRAZY, so you do attract attention, when you drive it. The clutch is also new, when the gearboxes were rebuilt. The V8 is installed with the Advance Adaptors kit, for this. It is shown with the Bikini top, but will come with several top options, that include a full soft top, with doors, a windcurtain that fits behind the front seats (makes a "half-cab"...my personal favorite) and a set of soft, half-doors. Rear bench seat is removable and all seats do have seat belts. The heater does work, as well and the roll cage is FULL. The video is a low-resolution, walk around...I could not get the HQ version to load, so had to work with it. The tires are 35 x 15's. One is new, the other 3 have seen better days, but are serviceable. I am listing this with no reserve, so high bidder gets it....go at it boys!!

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.
Despite slow sales, no new Scion models in near-term pipeline [w/poll]
Mon, 09 Sep 2013According to a top Toyota executive, the Japanese automaker will not be introducing any fresh Scion models in the near future, Reuters reports. As of August, Scion sales for this year were down 1.6 percent from 2012 and accounted for only 0.3 percent of Toyota's overall US sales. And last month, Toyota Motor Sales USA Senior Vice President Bob Carter informed the 1,000 dealers who carry Scion that they can drop the brand without penalty.
However, never fear - Carter has assured that, while nothing new is coming for at least six months, the company is still very committed to the quirky Scion brand. Toyota launched Scion, which targets the youth market, in 2003, and sales peaked in 2006. The brand currently has five models, with the 2013 best-sellers being the FR-S sports coupe followed by the tC sedan and xB hatchback.
What do you think about Toyota's decision to hold off on introducing new or refreshed Scion models? Are they heading in the right direction, or does this spell doom for the funky Gen Y brand?
