Up for sale is my 1980 FJ40 Landcruiser. Lots of new parts and labor have been put into it including:
Complete body and paint restoration with $2,350.00 in receipts done by a professional.
Chevrolet 350 V8 conversion mated to the stock 4 speed Toyota transmission (flush just done)
Power steering conversion using a Toyota 4-Runner power steering parts
Rear disc brake conversion with an upgraded dual reservoir power brake booster
Line-X tub (black / interior)
Warn M 8000 professional (Made in USA) winch with remote
New HEI high output ignition with new wires and plugs.
Heavy duty swing away tire carrier, holds two jerry cans, offroad accessories
Newer chrome rims with newer tires
New windshield and wipers
New custom front seats
Locking front storage container in cab (where stock dash pad would normally be)
Comes with new tow bar
Newer floor mats with sound proofing
Brand new (expensive) headliner
All bolts that I have had to take off to do work on the truck (about 60% or so) have been replaced with grade 8, stainless steel METRIC hardware. SO, working on this FJ only requires a metric tool set unless you are going to wrench on the Chevy V8. As you can tell, I am a bit OCD with the restoration and the accuracy of working on this Toyota. I have spent hundreds of dollars on just stainless steel bolts, lock washers, screws, etc. :)
These are things I can think of, many more things have been done. This cruiser (mechanically sound) drives great at 70mph. Clean clear title in hand. This is not a frame off restoration or show room quality, but is an awesome rig ready to hit the trail. I get lots of compliments.
In some of the pictures the front turn signals were not installed, they are installed and working now. The weather was nice that day I took the pictures, but hasn't been as nice since I put the blinkers on. :)
Toyota FJ40's increase in value by 4% a year (average). This FJ was toward the end of the years they imported FJ40's into the U.S. Approximately 3,000 1980 FJ40's were imported that year - in contrast LOTS more were sold other years.
1973......11,218........FJ40 / FJ55
1974.......8,204........FJ40 / FJ55
1975.......9,050........FJ40 / FJ55
1976.......9,236........FJ40 / FJ55
1977.......9,924........FJ40 / FJ55
1978.......8,858........FJ40 / FJ55
1979.......5,716........FJ40 / FJ55
1980.......3,058........FJ40 / FJ55
SO, this truck is very rare and in the condition it sits - it is even more rare. I have spent hundreds of hours on this vehicle and I am ready to start another project.
I will help ship the vehicle to a great extent. I will not pay, of course, but I will possibly drive the FJ up to 1000 miles from Reno to meet the buyer (please pay for gas). This FJ will travel across the US with no problems :) I just want a good home for my beloved FJ. Please contact me through eBay with any questions. I will be at the ready for the next week to respond.
Also, I have NO RESERVE on my FJ. Anyone that knows nice FJ40s knows what this truck is worth. I have faith that the buyer will still find a good deal here on ebay with my FJ, but I will feel good about the sale price. I am open to buy-it-nows, just ask.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Toyota hits 10 million Camry models sold in US
Tue, 02 Jul 2013This year marks 30 years of sales for the Toyota Camry in the US, and in that time, it has amassed more than 10 million sales. In its first year on the market, the Camry sold 52,651 units, but it has gone on to become the best-selling car in the US for the last 11 years.
Toyota says that "virtually all" current Camry models sold in the US are made here, and three-quarters of all Camry contents are domestically sourced. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota, and be sure to check out our gallery of images showing every model year and bodystyle of the Camry since it first went on sale in 1983.
Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
