Tampa, Florida, United States

Update 7/22/2014. Truck just cleared Colombian inspections now and is scheduled to ship on the freighter Friday with estimated arrival July 31, 2014. Truck then will need to clear US customs in the following week and ship one day to Tampa. Estimating August 7th through the 10th. $5000 deposit holds this truck for your inspection. 

Truck is a 1982 not a 1980.  Truck is in a container being shipped into Tampa, Florida arriving around August 10, 2014.  The truck will be titled in Florida or can be titled in the buyer's state.  Truck has no emissions equipment like the USA models for 1982 so we will need to confirm your state's regulations. Most regulations have a model year waiver.

The VIN number will be the chassis number which is FJ40359271. 

Volcan 4x4, LLC based in Tampa, FL and Medellin, Colombia brings this very exciting truck to the US market. The truck is named Pacho. This is a rare late model 1982 FJ40. 

Approximately 700 FJ40s were imported into the US in 1982 making this a collectable truck.

We sourced this truck from an airline pilot who upgraded the truck and kept it garaged. 

This truck has thousands of dollars in accessories and upgrades. Volcan 4x4 then spent 30 days overhauling what was already a very clean truck. 

This truck has:

4 inch Rough Country lift kit with gas charged shocks
5 90% tread 285/75/16 mud tires (33 inch tires)
5 black alloy rims
new AISIN hubs
4 speed H41 transmission with 4.10 gears (Colombian spec)
vent windows
7 passenger layout with newer vinyl. door panels are new.
custom roll bar
working AC
pioneer stereo with new speakers
power windows
performance header and brand new oversized exhaust with stainless steel muffler
custom bumper with WARN winch
Reese hitch
newer battery
4 drum brakes (recently reviewed)
power steering with custom leather covered steering wheel
custom fitted vinyl floor mats with new insulation up front
floors rust free and recently textured painted in beige
new rear half doors
2 coats of new black protective paint under the truck

This truck starts immediately and sounds fantastic with the header and exhaust. Not too loud but powerful. This is the most powerful and quickest truck in our fleet. This Pacho powers up the local 8000 foot Colombian highway in 3rd gear where the other trucks had to drop to 2nd. Steers straight and stops well. The ride is tight/hard due to the lift kit. 

Truck will be sold mileage exempt via Florida law due to the model year but given some Colombian documents and working odometer looks to be 176,000 miles.

The paint is very nice in original code Dune Beige. It has a touch of pearl white in it. There is a slight scratch on the driver's side but overall very clean. Painted black under the fenders.

Very handsome truck gets a LOT of attention. 

Compression test was in the 120 range. This truck outperforms another truck that we had in the 150 range. Very strong motor.

A $5000 refundable deposit to Volcan 4x4, LLC secures this truck until it arrives in Tampa. Truck is priced aggressively in the market at $35,900. This is our 5th truck since we started Volcan 4x4 and we price the trucks to sell quickly before or within 30 days once they reach the US.  We have the advantage of being able to pick among very nice rust free Colombian FJs. This is a fantastic late model lifted FJ40.

Toyota unveils two new small displacement engines

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Toyota introduced a pair of brand-new engines in Japan today, that it says will eventually spawn 14 different variants by 2015. Where these two engines stand out in today's world, is that neither mill boasts direct injection, and both are naturally aspirated.
The larger of the two is a 1.3-liter, while the smaller engine, a 1.0-liter, was developed in collaboration with Daihatsu. What makes these two unique is that they both use the Atkinson cycle. Now, we aren't going to bore you by explaining just what this is - there's Google for that. Suffice it to say, Atkinson engines are highly efficient, but that efficiency comes by sacrificing power. That's why they're so popular in hybrids, which can offset the power losses.
This focus on fuel efficiency extends throughout the new engines, which also benefit from tweaks like a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system and a trick intake port, while the 1.3 employs Toyota's iE variant of variable valve timing. Both engines can be fitted with stop-start tech. According to Toyota, when fitted with stop-start the 1.3 should provide around a 15-percent bump while the 1.0-liter will increase economy around 30 percent, when they arrive on the road.

Oh Buoy! Toyota sinks to Spongebob depths with custom Highlander

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The launch of the 2014 Toyota Highlander is being assisted by Bikini Bottom's number one resident, SpongeBob SquarePants. The new crossover has been wrapped with SpongeBob's square mug all over it as if he's saying "I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready," from every direction. Inside is a cabin that Toyota says "captures all of the beloved character's high-octane energy," but might make you question whether this is really the world you want to live in.
Revealed on SpongeBob Day at the San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants baseball game in San Diego, CA on July 13, the Highlander will go from there to seven locations nationwide on a "Happy Driving Tour," ending at the LA Auto Show in November.
You can read all about it in the press release below, as well as ways to fill your life with more SpongeBob than is probably healthy.

Toyota previews next Lexus RX with Tokyo-bound JDM Harrier

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Lexus RX shares much with the Toyota Highlander, but its more direct counterpart is the Toyota Harrrier. Never heard of it? That's because Toyota only sells it at home in Japan, and now it's revealed a new one. So if the Harrier is essentially a Toyota-badged version of the RX, then what's the big deal, you ask? The big deal is that the new Harrier which leaked in July, set to debut at the Tokyo Motor Show next week and which you see here isn't quite the same as the Lexus, and those differences could (and in most cases likely will) make their way over to the RX as well.
For starters, the styling is different. Granted that the Lexus version will almost certainly get a spindle-shaped grille, but even so, the Harrier's nose seems to protrude further than the RX's and the headlamps are a notably different shape. The greenhouse is also a different shape, coming to a sharper point at the back, and the mirrors are fixed to the A-pillar not to the door panel. The taillamps are revised, the tailgate has a new profile and there's a pseudo-diffuser at the bottom of the rear bumper. Subtle changes, to be sure, but then Toyota and Lexus are known for their evolutionary approach to styling. The interior has apparently undergone some updates as well, with a more dynamically styled dashboard, a more symmetrical center stack and different seats, steering wheel, door panels... the works. The infotainment display screen has also moved further down from its position in the current RX.
Toyota will offer the new Harrier with a 2.0-liter four mated to a CVT and driving either the front wheels or all four, and a hybrid setup with a 2.5-liter married to a 140-hp electric motor. The RX is offered here with a 3.5-liter V6 either on its own or with an electric assist. We wouldn't expect Lexus to go swapping the larger engines for the smaller ones, at least not for the US market. There's plenty more to the Harrier, of course, than the similarities and differences to the Lexus RX, and if you're buying a premium crossover in Japan, you can delve into the full details in the press release below, together with the images in the gallery above.
