1978 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
I bought this car in 1988 in Hickory, NC. It was my first vehicle and I have owned it since then. I was the 3rd owner and apparently it was bought in NC. I drove it to South Carolina a few years ago and the rust started showing up recently. I have decided to let go of this car simply because it will continue to deteriorate here. I had it painted about 5 years ago and put brand new BF Goodrich tires on it then too. In 1989 the oil pump went out and I mistakenly kept driving it and blew the motor...I replaced it with another Toyota FJ40 straight 6 with less miles. The odometer is broken, but I would guess that the body has 150,000 miles on it and the engine about 120,000. The other gauges work, but the odometer stopped working a few years ago. The car runs great. I recently had it tuned up and the Toyota mechanic, who sees a lot of FJ's said that this one had "really good bones" and that it was a solid vehicle. You will see in the pictures that there are some rust spots that could use attention. There is a missing antenna, missing mirror on passenger side, and a fender flare needs replacement. The original seats could use stitching, but I just covered them with covers. The brush guard that I bought is bent. That's about all the bad stuff. The car is a beauty and very cool. I am including the roof rack as well, but it needs new clamps to attach it...I get get it to attach with a few of the clamps, but it would be more secure with new ones. You could easily drive it home with a couple of safety straps for good measure.
If you need more pictures, just ask. Buyer assumes all responsibility - no warranty offered. Buyer pays shipping and makes all arrangements for pickup. I have this car listed on other sites and reserve the right to take this one down early at any time. Buy this baby and give it a little love... it will love you back. |

Toyota GT86 14R-60 shows how to do lightweight at a steep price
Sat, 11 Oct 2014Toyota is finally making good on its Griffon concept from last year with this limited-edition 14R-60 that basically hops through the Toyota Racing Development catalog to imagine the ultimate lightweight GT86 (the continental relative to the Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z). Unfortunately, it's not coming stateside, and even if this modded Toyobaru were coming here, you might not want to pay the rather steep price.
Like the concept, the 2.0-liter boxer engine still makes the same 197 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. However, the drivetrain isn't entirely untouched thanks to a new air filter, engine oil cooler, a reinforced clutch, lightweight flywheel, and mechanical limited-slip differential from TRD. The six-speed transmission is also tweaked, with different gearing in first and second and an altered final drive ratio.
To keep things planted the suspension gets a new coilovers, a V-shaped tower brace in the front and another in the rear. Improved deceleration comes thanks to upgraded brakes. There also are even more goodies on the outside, including a complete body kit that includes a carbon-fiber roof and massive rear spoiler. The stock wheels are replaced with 18-inch forged magnesium units, as well.
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?
Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build
Sat, 08 Jun 2013If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
