I have had this rig a few years now and just cant find the time to build it, so it is for sale. Somehow I was able to piece this troopy together.I first found the tub, then the top and finally the frame! The tub is 99% rust free,very good original condition with the original 464 dune beige paint.The right front section has been patched, there was a slide out battery box and the previous owner patched it with metal, it will need some body filler to smooth out, other than that the tub as well as the doors and rear ambi doors are cherry, not rust anywhere! The top is in great shape as well except for the left rear corner(common spot) it comes with a patch panel,otherwise headliner is nice as well as all the windows latches.I have started the left hand drive conversion using an fj55 column, steering u joints and an fj60 ps gear Pedals are mounted as is the booster and clutch slave.It is installed but will require finsh work and some welding and reinforcing to make it safe.It is a bare roller with original rear full float axle(all new brakes,drums, wheel cylinders)Front drum axle,front fenders, hood, one apron,a couple nice fold down rear bench seats gas tank,filler tube front oem mat,tube style tire carrier.It currently has small block chevy mounts tacked in,will remove if not needed. The frame has been blasted and powder coated,with all new bushings and greasable shackles, springs are aussie spec with a few inches lift,original spilt rims.I did not know until assembly that the front right frame horn has a slight upward twist in it that does effect the front stance,I suggest taking it to a body shop before final assembly to get it worked out on a frame machine, should be easy for a qualified shop.This is an awesome platform to build a killer expo rig with a toyota late model turbo diesel, 5spd, etc...It is currently registered in california as an hj47 diesel!! No smog hassle,it does not have the firewall tag as I got the tub bare,but the frame numbers and title are a match.Please remember it rolls and steers but has no brakes,keep this in mind when looking for a shipper.I am in the bay area california and will help load onto car carrier.Check my feedback, yours should look the same! I can accept credit cards through my business as well! Good luck and ask questions before bidding, THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, but reserve the right to end if sold locally!

Toyota wants half its vehicles in Japan to be hybrids

Fri, Mar 27 2015

The Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle could signal the future of motoring with a somewhat accessible price and cutting-edge green technology, but there's no guarantee for the model actually spearheading a revolution in the marketplace. In the meantime, the Japanese brand is continuing to focus on its hybrid powertrains and actually plans to build even more of them. As soon as next year, half of Toyota's sales in Japan could be electrically assisted. According to the Nikkei Asian Review, Toyota is pushing to sell 760,000 hybrids in Japan in 2016, compared to 684,000 last year. That figure would account for half of the company's sales in that country, and the company plans to increase overall production of its gas-electric models. The automaker could build 1.32 million of them next year, which would be about 30 percent more than in 2014. There's actually a financial incentive for Toyota to try this green strategy. Japan's rules for tax breaks on efficient models are about to get more stringent. According to the Nikkei Asian Review, only about half of all new models are expected to meet the guidelines for the incentives, compared to over 80 percent now, and the change could cost buyers as much as 100,000 yen ($840) more. With the impending debut of the next-gen Prius and heightened hybrid production, Toyota can position itself as an attractive choice to customers.

Toyota preparing Scion-badged Nissan Juke fighter

Thu, Aug 20 2015

As we've said on multiple occasions, the sub-compact crossover market is The Next Big Thing™. With that in mind, Toyota's lack of a competitor to the new breed of super-small, super-cute crossovers like the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and Jeep Renegade has been especially glaring. But as these photos show, the hole in the Japanese giant's lineup could soon be filled. Our spies captured this heavily disguised prototype testing in the deserts of the American southwest, signaling that Toyota is preparing to wade into the Nissan Juke's space by offering a tiny, but very heavily styled crossover of its own. Our spy photographers call the cute ute's look "aggressive," citing inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Based on the meaty wheels and tires and what we can see through the camo, we're inclined to agree with their assessment. Underneath that sheet metal, we're told the new car rides on Toyota's new NGA platform. Like the Juke, a four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission will be on offer, although there's no telling whether Toyota will follow its rival's enthusiast beat and offer a six-speed manual version. What we find most interesting about all of this conjecture, though, is what it means for Scion, rather than its parent. Introducing a small crossover is the next logical step for Toyota's troubled sub-brand, and would serve as a delectable followup to the recently released iA sedan and iM hatch. Such a three-model lineup, when combined with the enthusiast-oriented FR-S, would transform Scion into a force to be reckoned with in the entry level space. Supporting this conjecture isn't too hard, either. As the spy photos show, this camo'd tester is being supported by a xB, the closest thing Scion (or its parent company, for that matter) have to a sub-compact CUV. It's unclear just when this new model will make its debut, but if Toyota hopes to make inroads into this popular new segment, this CUV will need to arrive before its extremely competent rivals can establish a solid foothold.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
