1978 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States
1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser - rebuilt over the course of the last 3 years. New metal - both rear quarters, rockers, front fenders. New brakes - front calipers, rear wheel cylinders, shoes, pad, master cylinder. New DUI electronic distributor. New alternator. New voltage regulator. New radiator. Carter high performance rotary vane fuel pump, weber carb, new Interstate battery. Front seats recovered all new seat belts. Warn driving lights. ARB front bumper (covered in LineX premium), 4+Rear Tire Carrier (covered in LineX premium), rear tire flares (LineX premium) Original 2F motor with Split header 3x3 sounds great. 315 70R 17 (35 inch) Mickey Thompson MTZ tires (less than 500 miles, spare has zero miles), Eagle Alloy wheels. Wheel base extended by flipping rear leaf springs (off-set mounting) and lengthening the rear drive shaft. This centers the rear axle within the rear wheel well and improves the ride. New Warn XD9000 winch. Dual CD player (60 W per channel), Kenwood speakers in front and Pioneer in rear. Many other new parts too numerous to list. A great looking truck that always gets attention when I rarely drive it. It would cost double what I am asking to have this truck built. Act quickly as this truck will not last long. |

2015 Toyota Sienna SE keeps the swagger, adds thoughtful updates [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Toyota found huge success with its "Swagger Wagon" rap video for the 2011 Sienna SE. It showed that a minivan could actually sort of maybe be fun and didn't have to be a lame vehicle for people who long ago lost their sense of humor. Now that there is a slight refresh for the 2015 model, the company is trying to capture that effervescent image again with a bunch of videos aimed at families.
For the latest launch, Toyota is partnering with some family-friendly online video stars and having them show off the Sienna's features. It's releasing YouTube videos from the creators of Action Movie Kid and Convos with My 2-Year-Old and a Vine from Eh Bee Family, and they all hope to show that it's cool to be a family with a minivan.
In terms of actual changes, though, the update is pretty light aesthetically, but the new tech inside seems aimed directly at mom and dad. However, unless you've got a sharp eye, spotting the exterior refresh might be tough. Toyota is tweaking the front end slightly by adding a dark mesh grille and trim. The headlights are also slightly reshaped to incorporate a new strip of available LED running lights.
Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S sales disappointing worldwide?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Okay, folks - it appears we've got a problem. The Toyota GT86, Europe's counterpart to our own beloved Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S coupes, is apparently not selling too well. This, according to Toyota's European Vice President of Research and Development, Gerald Killman, is what's limiting plans for additional variants of the rear-drive coupe.
"A faster version of that car would be at the top of most people's wish lists, but like the cabriolet, it is hard to justify a business case to push either model into production based on the current sales," Killman told AutoExpress. "Personally, I think that engine could use a little bit more," he added.
More troubling is that slow sales aren't limited to the Euro-spec car, with Killman claiming that the GT86 have been missing sales targets in major markets around the globe. It may not be that the US is one of those major markets, though. Scion's Vice President, Doug Murtha, tells Autoblog that his brand is happy with the sales of its version of the GT86, the FR-S. 18,000 units were sold last year, which Murtha says is "generally in line with original expectations for the car."
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
