1974 Toyota Landcruiser on 2040-cars
Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, United States

Thank you for looking at my FJ40. I have owned this truck for 17 years, and have many fond memories in it. As I have grown older my priorities have changed, and I find that I no longer use the truck as it should be used. I realize that buying anything over the internet is a risky thing to do, so I will try to be as honest as possible about the condition of the truck. It is my goal that if you buy it, you have no surprises as to what you purchased.
All of the mechanical updating was performed by professionals, and was done over ten years ago. Since then I have put maybe 5,000 miles on the truck. -Rebuilt Head(Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Webber Performance Carburetor (SOR) 2001 -Performance Camshaft (SOR) 2001 -Performance Header (SOR) 2001 -Full custom Exhaust (Mighty Muffler) 2001 -Rebuilt Transmission /4 Speed (Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Rebuilt Transfer Case (Up and Over Innovations) 2001 -Brakes Redone (New Wheel Cylinders & Pads) 2014 -Truck Completely Rewired (Keystone Electric) 2001 -Recaro seats that were 2,000 when new -Stereo with older amp and 2 subwoofer speaker boxes (sub speakers are blown) -Stereo has CD/AUX input and 4 speakers -New Front Fenders and Bib (2001) -Newer Alternator and Belts (2005) -Newer Master and Slave Cylinders (2005) -New Clutch (SOR) 2012 -Mickey Thompson Classic 2 Aluminum Rims -Tan Soft Top and Doors (SOR) 2001
The Body was Redone in 1982, and an all aluminum floor was installed. It is from the front floor in the cab to the rear of the truck, it was done professionally and the welds are nice. The body panels were then bolted to the Aluminum floor because you cannot weld two different metals. The body panels will need to be replaced (rocker, quarter panel, rear sill). What is on the body panels of the tub is bondo, and it is beginning to rust and crack. The Hood of the truck also has small dents and two spots in the front that appear to be rusted, but are actually a crack in the metal. The windshield is rusted on the inner bottom and will need to be replaced. I say need to be replaced meaning that if you want a show truck they are too far gone, but they are fine for a driver. The steering wheel has play due to the steering box needing replacement. The frame as you can see from the pictures is in fairly good shape. The bottom of the main frame rail on the left side forward of the leaf spring was rusted out, and a patch of metal was installed. You can also see that the bottom of the main channels have had rust in them at some time as they are raised, and not flat as they would have been from the factory. Tires are starting to show slight Dry-Rot cracking in between tread, tread is 90%. The truck is mechanically very strong and has never given me any problems. The motor runs great and performs well. I honestly would not hesitate to drive the truck anywhere. If you have any questions please ask. Like I said, I don’t really need to sell the truck, and honestly want the buyer to be happy and know what they are getting. |

Lexus LX to get diesel engine?
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.
Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]
Sat, 31 May 2014Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.
Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
