Boulder, Colorado, United States

Selling my Baby with no reserve, high bid takes it unless it sells locally first. I'm loosing my garage storage and want to pass onto someone who can get out and wheel her. This FJ is a beast, but was my daily driver for 2 years. Built 396 Chevy Big Block mated with what I believe to be the prefect manual tranny for an FJ40, the 5speed H55F. Just the uninstalled transmission would set you back well over 3K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First the bad: basically just some minor body stuff. Has some minor bondo on both fenders (previous owner), little bit on the front of the hood and I think a bit under the gunmetal on the quarters(haven't ever pulled it off or looked to closely, but no one really puts on Gunmetal on an FJ40 if not addressing Cancer). Additionally the body is rattlecan black, over the legacy rattle can camo (PO) which is over the stock forest green after a little sand down. Basically the rig is fully built mechanically and doesn't need anything further on that aspect. It's meant to be driven and not a trailer queen, but that said it has a respectable body,72 had good thick steel, hardtop in good condition save for less than perfect seals on the back windows, and hard half doors and full doors (not yet painted to match). I can get pictures or answer questions. Additionally there is one mechanical issue that I drove on but will need addressing, the Ebrake is hydraulic and I believe a valve is sticking as at low speeds when your hard on the brakes the Ebrake has been wanting to stay on, cheap fix but don't have the time.. Below is an incomplete parts list. Truck has been stored in a garage for 3 years, was run every month for the first two, and has since been drained and sitting for the last year. I've relocated to the Midwest, and this won't get used to its full potential out there. Will probably need a quick carb clean and calibration, I had it fired up last Christmas, but the batteries were having some issues turning it over, and after sitting in storage for 3 years (last year without exercising it every month or two) it likely will need new batteries (dual setup). 72 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, -396 Chevy Big Block motor.

Truck is located in Boulder Colorado at my parents house, I'll be here till January 5th and it can assist with shipping. Please not I haven't gotten home to fire it up, this year. The fluids were swapped last year while in storage, however a little bit of gas likely remains to siphon out (drained the fuel last year when I was using it for the holidays). Payment due in Cash or certified bank check (won't release Cruiser till cleared). I am happy to assist with shipping as long as it's gone by Jan 7th, however any shipping is buy responsibility. If your local I can meet to show. |

2014 Toyota 4Runner revealed at Stagecoach Music Festival
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Toyota has just pulled the sheet off its updated 2014 4Runner at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. Toyota is the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival. We're also guessing this is the first time that the 4Runner has seen duty inside what looks like a vintage circus act's cage.
We can see from the photos (and the earlier teaser images) that the body-on-frame SUV has received a freshened look with new smoked light fixtures front and rear, along with a reworked front fascia and grille. The profile view seems largely unchanged, though there are new wheel patterns on offer.
The 4Runner will continue to be offered in three trims, including SR5, more luxurious Limited, and off-road-ready Trail specification. Both 4x2 and both part- and full-time 4x4 models will continue to be available, all will be powered by the same 4.0-liter 270-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic as last year.
2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*
Tue, 27 Aug 2013We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
