1982 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, Black, Chevy 355, Auto Trans, Power Steering on 2040-cars

Year:1982 Mileage:115384
Location:

Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States

Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States

   This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done.   Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts.

 I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver.  I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle.  I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months.  I did not drive it in the winter.  This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle.  If you have any questions, please ask.

 The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth.  The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride.  It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane.  At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400.  It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed.  (new torque converter too)  The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings.  The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members.  Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop.  Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well.

 New:

Engine/Trans
Front bumper with Tow bar option
Brakes

Brake master cylinder
Shackle reversal for added stability and drivability

New Saginaw steering gear retrofit

Anti-Wrap / Traction Bar installed to protect pinion in High torque situations
Shocks
Rear axle bearings and seals
New dual Flowmaster 40 series Edlebrock 650cfm carb with electric choke

Fuel tank (poly) and sending unit
Fuel lines and pump
Aftermarket gauges were installed with new billet aluminum cluster. Didn't trust the old gauges for new engine. Original cluster will be included in the sale.                                                         
Air Horns Installed original Toyota horns are still available.
Speedometer and odometer work correctly with factory gauge cluster.  Currently use GPS and Tachometer for speed.
JVC CD player and aftermarket speakers. 10” powered subwoofer installed under driver seat.

New Cooper ST 33x12.5x15 tires (full size spare included)

*May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones.
Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.  I will respond within 24hours.

Additional info:

 The original odometer shows 115384 miles but has been replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster.    Many of the common FJ modifications have been done.  For example; the new SBC, 4 core radiator, automatic transmission, shackle reversal, and power steering, anti-wrap bar. This Landcruiser is a great comfortable driver. Since the modifications and the engine replacement the vehicle has been driven less than 4500 miles.  Many of the trips have been within Michigan on warm summer days.                                                                                          


*Pre purchase inspection and local pickup can be arranged. Buyer has full responsibility for setting up shipping and all expenses. Other arrangements can be discussed. $300 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hrs after auction ends. Balance due within 7 days of auction ending. Vehicle will not be released until all funds have been deposited and cleared by my bank.  Clear and clean Michigan Title is available. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding. FJ is for sale locally as well. Thanks for looking.

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:

Toyota Camry, Lexus RX to get aluminum parts

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Ah, aluminum. The lightweight, strong material has long held a following within the premium ranks, but as Ford prepares to launch an aluminum F-150, the material is gaining acceptance among more mainstream automakers. Toyota is one such brand, with a new report indicating that the Japanese giant will add aluminum bits and bobs to some of its upcoming vehicles.
These won't be full, aluminum-intensive treatments like the F-150, however. Automotive News reports that an aluminum hood and liftgate will be coming to the 2016 Lexus RX, and following that, the Camry will get a bonnet built from Element 13 for model year 2018.
As AN points out, Toyota is no stranger to aluminum, using it in Japanese-built models like the Prius and Scion FR-S. The RX and Camry, though, will mark the first time the company's North American factories will use the material, and they'll do so on a significantly larger scale, owing to the higher volumes that the Camry and RX represent.

Toyota begins shipping Le Yaris to America

Fri, 17 May 2013

Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.
