1982 FJ40

FJ40 comes with 2 sets of rims. The stock white, and the powder gray steel rims shown on the first few photos. The color is closest to the first photos, the shots with the white rims were taken with a filter and at sun set. True color is the first set of photos (lighter color) which is the stock, original Toyota Beige.

Hard to find, rust free, original, fully restored.

Power - Factory power steering on a stock 2F inline 4.2 motor. Good compression all around. Starts and runs great, holds the road straight and true. Has 3:70 road gears, shifts tight and smooth. Passes California emissions handily.

Interior -- dash, door panels, mats, seat covers all like new. Original front mat, with added insulation and carpet underneath. Dash uncut, all gauges work. 108,000 original miles.

Exterior -- brand new stock beige paint code throughout, lights all work, tow hitch, new steel powder coated wheels and caps. Comes with original off white slotted rims as well.

New- Maxxis Mud TA's, door weather seals, shocks, bumper, radiator, battery, windshield, front seat covers, headliner, battery tray, blinkers and tail lights, Toyota badges, cap cover, front and rear carpet and insulation.

I am selling this for a client who has clear California title. He purchased the FJ40 from me in August of 2012 after we did a full restoration on the vehicle. It is and always has been a west coast FJ. Since purchase it has a few hundred more miles and sits covered in his garage.

I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Here is a list of what I had done last year prior to selling to my client.

The list of new parts is extensive and includes

5 new Maxxis Mud TAs, 31X10.50X15s on stock powder coated rims

New door weather seals all around for a very tight cab
New shocks
New bumper
New radiator
New battery
New seat covers (SOR)
New windshield (OEM)
New Headliner
New battery tray
New blinkers and tail lights
New OEM Toyota badge and emblems
New Stainless Screws throughout
New Bumperettes
New OEM license plate bracket, rear.
New visor covers
New door seals all around.
New cap seal, no air flow, nice and tight.

This is a very nice example of an original 1982 FJ40 that runs like new and is in excellent condition, inside and out.

Last few photos are my 1983 FJ40 (BJ42) 3B Diesel. Full Frame off restoration that is very close to finished. 28 mpg, 72,000 original miles. MINT. Coming to eBay soon.

Bid with confidence. Great 1982 FJ40 with CA smog certificate.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.

Mazda ad showing Facebook updates while driving criticized by Senate committee [w/video]

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, held an all-day summit on Thursday to discuss the dangers of using modern technology while driving, during which an ad that Mazda aired during the Super Bowl was used as an example of the worrisome future towards which we're headed. While seemingly innocuous at first glance, the ad, which can be seen below, shows a brief glimpse of a driver using the Mazda Connect infotainment system in a Mazda3 to check/update his Facebook page while driving down the road.
Officials from major communications companies like Samsung, Google and Apple attended the summit, as well as representatives from automakers including General Motors and Toyota. A representative from Mazda was not present despite the company's own currently available technology being used as the poster child for the issues being discussed.
According to Automotive News, Senator Rockefeller warned the automaker and communication execs on hand that he will propose legislation to regulate the use of technology while driving if they don't work together to implement their own standards more quickly. Michael Robinson, GM's vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs, argued that his company has had distracted driving guidelines in place for 15 years since the advent of its OnStar system, noting that the technology in question has also helped the automaker save lives through automatic crash detection and calls to 911.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
