1973 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
3 Speed Transmission & Transfer Case
Awesome Farm Find
Hello, and welcome to my FJ40 auction. I am the third owner of this vehicle. I bought this FJ40 from an irrigation salesman who purchased it from a farmer in Oakley Idaho.
He only had the vehicle for a couple of months and then sold it to me. It has always run well, but I have had to do some work to her to get her on the road and legal again. 
This Land Cruiser is in excellent condition and has not been changed much from the day it rolled off of the lot. It still has all of the smog and emissions set-up intact and it even has the original radio.
The body is very clean, the suspension is excellent, and the vehicle has been in use since 1973. This is one of the rare FJ40s you will find that has never sat for a long period of time. 
The farmers took the rear seats out and and the tire carrier off to make a pipe carrying device on the FJ40. The rear seats are missing but I do have the rear hitch for the vehicle.

Here is a list of the original OEM parts on this vehicle:
The 3 speed transmission engine, and transfer case are all stock. 
The entire body, frame, axles, etc. are stock with no aftermarket parts.
The interior is all original including all of the switches, lights, and all four seats
The radio, knobs, seats, front heater are OEM and original to the vehicle. 
The doors and hatch are all original and in excellent condition. The front and back doors are entirely rust free, and are very nice
The paint on this vehicle is also original. The previous owners would shoot a little primer on the rig when it got a chip in the paint to keep it from rusting. It definitely worked, and you will be stunned by how clean this rig is.
You can see that most of this vehicle is stock and in great condition.

The brakes have been completely redone and the engine has had a tune-up. The seals, steering, tie rods, etc. have all been greased.
The 4x4 has been tested and greased as well. This rig is ready to go on the trail now. 
I must say that every time I work on this rig I am just amazed at how clean it is still.

Farmerations:
This vehicle was used for farm use, so it has been farmarized in a few ways.
First, when I got the vehicle I had to cut the crazy pipe carrying unit off of it. 
Second, the farmer has done a little welding work on the vehicle. There are three nicely welded patches on the vehicle. The first one is on the tranny hump, the second is a small patch on the wheel well, and the third is where the tire carrier attaches to the body.
Third, the overflow tank is not OEM, it is an antifreeze bottle. I have been rocking it for months and it works great by the way.
Fourth, the rear heater is custom made and works better than any FJ40 heater ever made. It has its own fan and a newer heater core that pumps out the heat. You will not get cold with this thing on. 
Fifth, the passenger side door has an awesome pipe door handle.
Sixth, I have left some of the bullets and beer tabs in this rig to add to the ambiance.

I have eleven FJ40s at the moment and this is the one that everyone wants to drive and ride in. The rubber is in excellent shape and everything is straight and clean, so the ride is really smooth and quiet.
The engine just purrs and is a torque machine. This thing is trail ready and a blast to drive. This is probably the best FJ40 project car I have ever had, I just have too many at the moment. This one hurts a little to sell because it is so straight and mostly rust free. The doors are in great shape and the hatch actually works. This vehicle also still has all of the original factory stickers and emblems. I do have the two rear emblems for this vehicle, that are not photoed in the auction, but they will be included.

This FJ40 would be an ideal restore project, daily driver, or hunting rig. It does have a little rust but it is minimal for an FJ40.
This Cruiser has not been modified at all and is all original. 
The vehicle is fully functional and trail ready.
The only things that do not work on the vehicle are the speedometer, and the turn signals. I had the turn signals working but there is a ground problem that I do not have time to fix. It would be a really easy fix though.

I have a video on Youtube that shows the car running, shifting, driving, and a complete walkthrough. You need to view this video to appreciate the power and beauty of this FJ40.
I can also store the vehicle for 30 days once payment is made if you need time to arrange shipment. You will need to pay me $100.00 a month to store it any longer than that.
Payment must be made within one week of auction ending. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day:)

Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.

Subaru, Toyota refute reports of BRZ, 86 demise

Fri, Feb 1 2019

After news broke of an anticipated Japanese report telling that the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins were not long for this world, both carmakers have denied the cars' successors have been canceled. Carscoops reports that both Toyota and Subaru have stated they are developing next-generation cars. As a Subaru USA spokesman told Carscoops: "We do not endorse this report coming from Japan's Best Car. ... We are moving ahead with a next-generation Subaru BRZ, but have no further details at this time." The website also reported a similar statement from Toyota. With the models getting long in the tooth and no test mules having been spied, doubts are not unwarranted — remember just how long Toyota teased the fifth generation Supra before its 2019 debut. More information is not yet available, or whether the two brands will still collaborate to bring the new-generation coupes to the market, but for Toyobaru fans this might be grounds to breathe a sigh of relief. That would also mean, that if the hinted MR-2 revival is based on solid ground, there will be a full "Three Brothers" Toyota sports car portfolio for sale in the next decade. With the Supra offered also as a four-cylinder in Japan, it will be interesting to see if Toyota will retain the 86's current, slight power advantage over the Supra's 197-horsepower variant or respect the status of the bigger brother.

Toyota prepped to spend $1.3B on plants in Mexico and China

Tue, Apr 7 2015

Toyota is getting set to expand its manufacturing operations in a big way, with a pair of sources reporting to Reuters that the company was preparing to make a roughly $1.3-billion investment to add two new factories in China and Mexico. If Reuters sources turn out to be correct and the company's upper management decides to greenlight the two new factories, Toyota's annual output would grow by 300,000 units per year. Two-thirds of the capacity would come from the new Mexican factory, where the company may produce the next-generation Corolla, due in 2019. That facility would be in the state of Guanajuato, in the central part of the country, the sources told Reuters. The Chinese factory, meanwhile, would likely be built in Guangzhou, and may become a source of Yaris production sometime in 2018.
