1979 Bj40 Land Cruiser Australian Rhd 13b-t Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States

I am selling a beast of a cruiser that is fun to drive and gets plenty of attention. The BJ40 started life in Australia, then over to New Zealand and then legally imported to the USA. All import paperwork and fee's are completed and I have a Idaho title in my name. I am in the middle of a 2 year restoration on my 82 Fj40 and need more $$$ , so the BJ is for sale.
12 volt, not the costly 24 volt system common in Canada and other countries. All blinkers, wipers, horn ect.. working 4 speed transmission/transfer case work great and drivetrain is quiet. It also has a heavy duty full floating rear end not found in the US. imported fj40's. EFS of Australia suspension system includes 4" spring lift with grease zirk shackles. Ride quality is good and little more firm than my stock 82 FJ40. Body and frame are in good condition, some typical rust issues are present in back seal, rear doors, bottom front door, top by windows and small areas in floor. I think it is cleaner than most on the road. Previous owner applied some rust converter to surface rust areas ,repair while you drive or go all out for the next couple years on a body off restoration. I personally planned on driving it as is, camping and wheeling without a care about scratches. This cruiser is a capable off roader , very unique and gets a lot of attention. If you are hoping that it is a 25-50k rig for cheap it is not, but investing $$$ into body, paint and interior work it would be money well spent and cruisers are climbing in value. I have it listed for sale locally and on other classifieds, so I reserve the right to sell. Any questions call 801-550-6042. Thanks |

Toyota working on cars that hover above the roadway
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, but it's not content simply building and selling conventional cars - it's been at the forefront of numerous advancements in ground transportation. It is widely credited with advancing the cause of hybrid propulsion, and alongside Audi and Google, is among the first automakers seriously testing self-driving cars. We could go on, but the news here is that Toyota is reportedly developing vehicles that hover above the road surface instead of rolling along it.
The news comes from Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, one of Toyota's tech gurus, who revealed at Bloomberg's Next Big Thing summer in San Francisco that the company is working on hovering cars - ones that travel just above the road surface, but don't actually fly in three-dimension space.
According to The Verge, a spin-off of our own sister-site Engadget, Yoshiki refused to elaborate on what the project entails and how far along it is. He was speaking along acting NHTSA chief David Friedman, who lauded such advancements as a "great taste of innovations to come," but stressed the significance of more concrete improvements to conventional automobiles - like inter-car communications to keep vehicles from colliding on the highway - as more relevant to today's industry.
Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?
Tue, 28 Oct 2014When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.
Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut
Wed, 12 Nov 2014After 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.
