1979 Fj40 Landcruiser, Original Paint And Drivetrain, Unrestored on 2040-cars
Year:1979
Mileage:102333
Location:
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
|
This is a 1979 FJ40 with only 102k original miles. It is an unrestored original that has never been painted. You can see exactly what you are getting. This is a great vehicle to begin a ground up restoration on. The frame and axles have minor surface rust and will clean up easily without any of the major pitting that is seen on some vehicles from salty enviroments. This Cruiser runs, steers, stops, and drives nice. I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle to any destination in the United States. I first purchased this vehicle in 2001. At that time it had 80k miles. I owned it for several years and then sold it to a good friend of mine. It was sold a couple more times before I re-purchased it last year. I had intentions of completing my 4th complete frame up restoration but decided to stick with the one I already completed. The tires were purchased new 3 months ago and have about 10 miles on them. They are mounted on original FJ40 rims and have brand new OEM hubcaps. They are 33x10.50R15 BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrains. All 5 were purchased at the same time. The radiator and water pump were recently replaced. It currently runs a Weber carburetor and header with a Mallory Unilite ignition. There is a new OEM carb, linkage, some side mirrors, and air cleaner included to take it back to stock. I also have a stock exhaust manifold from a 1977 2F motor that I will include if the buyer desires. The exhaust on the rig is not stock but is also new within the last couple of years. I drove this rig today and it starts and runs perfect. It is a solid rig and is very complete. The only modifications from stock are the carb and header, Mallory electronic ignition, and rear fender flares. I have tried to show the rust as clearly as possible in the pictures. The rear quarters have the typical rust. To fix this, it needs quarter panels and the rear sill parts that are all available from Cool Cruisers of Texas. There is some rust in the wheel wells but it is small and patches will do. There are also 2 small holes in the drivers side floor that need a patch. The rust on the rockers appears to be just deep surface rust and should clean up without having to replace any panels.The fenders and hood are good as well. There are some other minor dents in the front passenger fender and passenger door. If you have read this far, you already know that the 79-84 FJ40s are the ones that are highly sought after by collectors. They have the under body gas tank that is a little bigger and a lot safer than the in-cab tanks of the ealier years. They have the 4 speed transmissions and the 3:70 gear ratios that make them drive better at highway speeds. The 33 inch tires help this rig run comfortably down the road at 75. This is a great rig and you will not be disappointed. I have heard and seen all the stories of people buying painted over rust buckets for big money and having to sink thousands into them to fix them. You can see exactly what you are getting with this rig. I ask for a $500 deposit within 2 days of the close of this auction. The balance can be handled through a bank transfer cash in person. I have a clear Wyoming title for this vehicle in my hand. No bank liens or other issues. This rig also comes with a Warn 8274 winch and remote that is in great working condition. There is also a heavy duty panel that closes the back end of the tub if you take the top and rear doors off. It is shown under the extra parts. The original tool bag with the Toyota OEM tools and some extra no-name tools, as well as all original jack and handles is there too. The brake master is also new. The rear seat is a Con-Fer unit that folds down and has storage underneath. There is also a Con-Fer console installed. I do not have the original console piece. Stereo is new too!
On Apr-07-14 at 05:56:45 PDT, seller added the following information: This rig has a Rancho 2 or 3 inch lift kit and it also has an Auburn limited slip differential in the front axle. Also, the front bumper was built to bolt on to the stock brackets. It can be removed and replaced with an OEM bumper. |

Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW Next 100 video, how Nissan "tops off" battery
Mon, Mar 14 2016BMW explains the ideas behind its Vision Next 100 concept car that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. As BMW celebrates its 100th birthday, it wants to look into the future rather than dwell on its past. This involves the digital and analog worlds working together "to create a seamless experience." Hence the "live geometry," wherein physical parts of the car move to translate digital information to the driver. The video also gets into the future of driving modes, like "Ease," for more autonomous driving, and "Boost," for when the driver wants to take control to enjoy some motoring the good, old-fashioned way. Check out the video above, and read more from Hybrid Cars. Nissan has managed to find a way to boost the range of EV batteries inspired by pouring a glass of beer. The automaker has found that after a full charge, one can wait a few minutes for subsequent "minicharges" to "top off" the battery. The voltage dips slightly, much as the foam does on a pint of beer, allowing the battery to accept some more juice. The result is an extra 0.7 percent of energy, which could mean just enough extra range to reach the next charging station. Read more from Automotive News. Hyundai has delivered its first Tucson Fuel Cell in Ontario, Canada. The lucky recipient is Joseph Cargnelli, Chief Technology Officer of Hydrogenics Corporation, a company based on hydrogen technology. The expansion into Ontario follows Hyundai's trial of six Tucson Fuel Cell vehicles in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Read more at Green Car Congress. Toyota has entered a public-private partnership to test an end-to-end hydrogen supply chain in Japan. The collaboration with the Kanagawa Prefectural Government, the municipal governments of the cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki and three private companies to create renewable hydrogen to power forklifts. It will use wind energy to electrolyze hydrogen, which will then be shipped to a factory, a vegetable and fruit market and two warehouses to be used in the fuel cell-powered vehicles. This supply chain is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent compared to traditionally fueled forklifts. Read more from Toyota.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
