1980 Toyota Landcruiser Hj47 Troopy Left Hand Drive! on 2040-cars
Redwood City, California, United States
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 bids farewell to FJ Cruiser with Ultimate Edition at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Happy trails, to you... As we reported back in August, the FJ Cruiser is headed to the great automotive graveyard in the sky, and Toyota is offering a fitting eulogy in the form of the 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition, which was just unveiled here at the 2013 SEMA Show.
Unlike many special edition models, the Ultimate FJ Cruiser earns its name with a host of parts from Toyota Racing Development, starting with TRD Bilstein race shocks that Toyota says improve damping, articulation and high-speed stability. The front shocks measure 66 millimeters and feature TRD race coil springs, with geometry that improves the approach angle; the 50mm rear units are equipped with remote reservoirs to diminish damping fade.
A new one-quarter-inch thick aluminum TRD front skid plate offers protection for the underbody bits, and the outfit is completed with a BF Goodrich A/T KO tires on 16-inch bead lock wheels, rock rails and a roof rack. Check out the high-res image gallery above and the press release below for all the rest of the details.
Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
Toyota demos its TRD Pro Series line [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With a rich history of creating off-road worthy trucks and SUVs and a somewhat bland impression of its brand overall, Toyota has wisely created a line of TRD Pro Series vehicles to spice up its showrooms and newly engage customers. Debuting at this year's Chicago Auto Show before rolling into dealers this fall, the TRD-tuned vehicles include the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, all with added rough-road gear and amped-up looks.
The TRD Pro Series trucks might end up, in many cases, as lifestyle accessories for outdoorsy types, but that doesn't mean they're all show. TRD springs and Bilstein dampers are set up for off-road performance, while skid plates will protect the softish underbellies of these would-be rock-crawlers. The trio all get lifted over stock height, as well, with two-inch gains for the Tundra and Tacoma (lovingly referred to as "Taco Supreme" in the Toyota press release), and an inch-and-a-half rise for the 4Runner.
We detailed all of the changes to the Pro Series vehicles in our original announcement post, and you'll also find more granularity of information in the Toyota press release below. Before you dive in, however, be sure to take in our set of live, action-packed images from the Chicago Show floor.
