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 says freezing temps pose zero problems for fuel cell vehicles
Fri, Feb 7 2014Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles are not afraid of one thing – freezing cold weather. That's the latest from two companies that have been driving the cars in frostbite temperatures in the Northeast recently. Proton Onsite runs a fleet of 10 Toyota FCHV-adv fuel cell vehicles out of its Connecticut headquarters and discovered that the snow and three-degree temperature didn't restrict range. Mark Schiller, Proton vice president of business development, said in a statement that, "I went out to my Toyota FCHV-adv and brushed off a foot of snow before starting the car right up. No problem." While electric vehicles can have their driving range reduced in extreme temperatures (but not always), Proton Onsite hasn't seen that happen in the Polar Vortex. They're performing flawlessly in freezing temperatures even with the heaters blasting, and are continuing to hit their range of about 300 miles, Schiller said. Air Products, based on Allentown, PA, has had a similar experience. The FCHV-adv has had great performance under harsh conditions, according to Nick Mittica, commercial manager, hydrogen energy systems. Employees drove the fuel cell vehicle during one of Pennsylvania's worst winters in recent memory and, you guessed it, "No problem." Toyota says that has put its fuel cell fleet through the wringer, logging millions of miles over the last decade, to make sure performance can be delivered within extreme weather conditions. Toyota engineers spent weeks testing cold weather start up, performance and durability up in Yellowknife, Canada. Temperature can reach -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit) at that location. On other end of the scale, Toyota was able to verify that its FCVs can handle driving through heat in Death Valley national park. We heard the same from Mercedes the other day, too. Extreme weather functionality is apparently something automakers want to make absolutely sure the public doesn't worry about. Jan. 30, 2014 – Record low temperatures have stranded many East Coast drivers, but not those driving a Toyota fuel cell hybrid vehicle. Connecticut-based Proton Onsite, which operates a fleet of ten Toyota FCHV-adv fuel cell vehicles, says that even in single digit temperatures, the FCHV-adv shows no signs of frostbite. "We had another snow storm Tuesday night and this morning the temperature was 3 degrees," says Mark Schiller, Proton vice president of business development.
Top Gear drag races the BMW i8 and M4 to decide the future
Thu, Mar 24 2016The BMW M4 and i8 represent two every different expressions of the performance car. The M4 relies on its turbocharged six-cylinder combustion engine to spin the rear wheels. Conversely, the i8 packs a turbo three-cylinder and electric motors for its cutting-edge all-wheel drive system. Top Gear is the latest publication to put the pair together to find out which ethos is quicker. We saw Germany's Auto Bild hold a similar race last year, and the i8 scored a clear victory there. We don't want to spoil the winner of Top Gear's attempt, but we can tease that this sprint ends in a photo finish. Pick your favorite, and then watch the video to see which performance coupe takes the checkered flag. Related Video:
100-year-old Yellowstone ranger station now powered by Camry Hybrid batteries [w/video]
Thu, May 14 2015With a new project, Toyota is bringing power to the prairie and finding a way to reuse nickel-metal hydride batteries at the same time. The automaker recently completed assisting Yellowstone National Park's installation of a solar power station at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch to electrify the ranger station and education center there for the first time. Toyota's major part in the system is an array of 208 batteries that are repurposed from old Camry Hybrid sedans, and they can store 85 kilowatt-hours of energy at a time. That's as much as one 85-kWh battery pack from one top-of-the-line Tesla Model S. Toyota figures that the whole setup should generate enough annual electricity for six average US homes, which is plenty for the ranch. For a constant source of power, the site plans to install a micro-hydro turbine in a nearby stream in 2016. Prior to creating the wall of batteries to store all of this energy, Toyota disassembled and tested each one. It also installed a new management system on them to maximize their lifespan. You can get a better idea of what the whole system looks like in the automaker's video, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Toyota Flips the Switch to Sustainable Power at Yellowstone National Park Lamar Buffalo Ranch Renewable, Zero Emission Energy System Is Now Online System Features 208 Re-used Camry Hybrid Batteries May 12, 2015 Torrance, Calif. (May 12, 2015) – The lights are on where the buffalo roam. At the Lamar Buffalo Ranch field campus in Yellowstone National Park, an innovative distributed energy system that combines solar power generation with re-used Camry Hybrid battery packs is now online. The result: reliable, sustainable, zero emission power to the ranger station and education center for the first time since it was founded in 1907. Announced in June 2014, the partnership among Toyota, Indy Power Systems, Sharp USA SolarWorld, Patriot Solar, National Park Service and Yellowstone Park Foundation is an innovative effort to extend the useful life of hybrid vehicle batteries while providing sustainable power generation for one of the most remote, pristine areas in the United States. Solar panels generate the renewable electricity stored within the 208 used Camry Hybrid nickel-metal hydride battery packs, recovered from Toyota dealers across the United States.
