Build was done by previous owner about 3 years ago.  Very capable crawler and still does well on the street and highway.  I have daily driven the FJ for about 9 months with excellent reliability.  Wheelbase was extended to just under 100".  The TBI 305 and rig has unknown mileage and runs good.  The SM465 transmission and split case transfer case were rebuilt at time of build.  Drives very well on street and highway, runs about 2800 rpm @ 60mph with current gear setup and has around a 170-1 craw ratio with Crawler box and transfer case in low.  I have 3 tops, the bikini is custom made for the full family cage and is in great shape.  The soft top is in decent shape with a couple small repairs, and small scratches on windows that are still nice and flexible.  The hard top consist of the two sides and rear hatch which are stripped to bare metal, and the fiberglass top which is decent but could be refinished or line X.  I have the rear quarter window glass, You would have to have the flat side windows cut at a glass shop.  2 sets of doors-full hard and 1/2 soft.  Front windshield was new at build and is safety glass. The body is in overall pretty good shape and was painted with a single stage Limco paint at build.  I have about 1/3 gallon on original paint for hard top or touch-ups.  The rear quarter panels were in same condition as the rest of the body when the build was done with the exception of a dent in one side (which is why the budbuilt corners were installed).  The bud built corners had POR 15 applied to backside and the outside was paired with satin black for easy touch-ups.  The body/paint is not show quality, has minor defects or scars from use, but still looks good.  Small dent in passenger front fender from rock (see pics).  FJ was in pretty good shape before build, any rust was cut out and new sheet metal welded in.  Since build any chips or surface rust has been sanded, primed, and touched up. One of the doors has a small spot of rust that is forming by the drain at the bottom.  12 point wiring harness is all plug and play and not spliced up.  There are no electrical gremlins and every wire is labeled for it's use.  New fuse box and has LED indicators for check engine, brights, and blinkers.  Computer is in glove box for safety.  Comes with extras: gun case with full set of spare axles-fuel pump, filter, axle grease, spare hoses/fitting for trailside repair, pitman arm.

Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell coming to US Northeast in 2016

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Looks like someone was able to read the future back in July. That's when rumors first circulated that Toyota's upcoming fuel cell vehicle will be called the Mirai. Today, Toyota president Akio Toyoda confirmed the name alongside plans to build out a hydrogen refueling infrastructure in the US Northeast.
In Japanese, mirai (??) means "future," which is a fitting name for a car that Toyota believes represents the direction the auto industry will go in the coming years. In a promotional video announcing the name, Toyoda said, "For [Toyota], this isn't just another car. This is an opportunity - an opportunity to really make a difference. And making a difference is what Toyota is all about."
To help that future come into existence, Toyota CEO Jim Lentz also disclosed the vague outline of a fuel cell infrastructure investment that Toyota and partner Air Liquide will make in a five-state Northeastern corridor that consists of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. The Mirai will be available there in 2015 and Toyota is going to build 12 stations in and around New York and Boston to support the launch. More details will be available later.

Toyota, Kaley Cuoco grant wishes in Super Bowl XLVII ad

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

For viewers who plan on watching the Super Bowl only for the commercials, here's one for you to enjoy ahead of time. As we saw in the teaser video that Toyota released last week, will be making the transition from Big Bang to The Big Game as a wish-granting genie in a commercial for the 2013 Toyota RAV4.
Though not as entertaining as the actual teaser for this commercial, it still garnered a couple chuckles from the Autoblog crew. We won't spoil it for you, but a word of advice: if Cuoco ever shows up in your driveway granting you wishes, we'd suggest you be very clear what you want... and enunciate.
If you want to see the commercial before this Sunday's game, we have the video (and an accompanying press release) posted after the jump.

Toyota Corolla Nurburgring Edition talks the talk, doesn't walk the walk

Mon, Mar 23 2015

From the Opel Corsa OPC to the Lexus LFA, there have been all sorts of vehicles worthy of wearing the Nurburgring name. And while the Toyota Corolla may have a lot going for it – it is, after all, once of the top selling models in the world – we're not sure it would count among them. Especially not with a CVT. Toyota's Thai division seems to think otherwise, though, and is launching the Corolla Altis ESport Nurburgring Edition at the Bangkok Motor Show this week. Apparently inspired by a seventh-place class finish at last year's 24-hour race on the Nordschleife, it's based on the Corolla Altis – a version of the popular sedan sold in South Asian markets – and picks up where the ESport trim leaves off. From there it gets a reworked aero kit, blacked-out grille, LED daytime running lights and red-trimmed leather interior. There's even a recalibrated suspension hooked up to 17-inch alloys, giving it the right stance, but that's about the extent of the performance enhancements. Power unfortunately still comes from a 1.8-liter atmospheric inline-four, driving just 141 horsepower to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. So while it may have at least some of the looks to go with its racy name, it still lacks the oomph. This, then, will not be one of those overseas performance specials we'll be longing for when passing by a Toyota showroom on our own shores, but at least customers in Thailand can look the part.
