1984 FJ60 in very good condition for it's age. I've owned it for 15 years now and the previous owner for 5. Neither of us are/were smokers. The mileage is 286,000 approx, and is likely the true number. After the original 6 cylinder gave up the ghost I did the 350 5.7 GMC conversion. That was around 193,000 miles. <P> The motor and ECU are out of an '87 GMC Suburban and it runs fine. It has worn down a bit but is still a fine runner. The valve guides are wearing and now and then a puff of blue smoke out the back when 1st starting. But it does not burn or leak oil. It was a great conversion! The I-6 was great off-road but would not get out of it's own way trying to merge onto the freeway. The 350 took care of that. Later I installed a rebuilt 4 speed from Spector Off Road, with a compound low, 1st gear. Got my torque back. :) <P> The truck was off-roaded some but was never a boonie crasher, or abused. The suspension is stock, with the shocks recently replaced, Monroe. I replaced the carpets a few years ago with Specter's gray loop kit. In the cargo area just behind the bench seat is a 3" slit. I had all the seats re-covered about 18 months ago; custom sewn. As wonderful as Toyota's fabrics were there was no way to keep that driver side seat panel from wearing out. I didn't want to but I'd replaced the driver side once ($250). A second replacement was not an option. :) Now, as you can see, HD boat vinyl. Problem solved. There are a few nicks in the window tint.<P> The body is rust free and straight. There are 2 or 3 minor "beer can" dents that are very hard to see, being white.... The truck has been regularly serviced for the last 20 years at least. 6 months ago the left front axle seal gave out so I had both sides taken apart, inspected and re-sealed. No mo drips. 18 months ago I had the air conditioning totally replaced and it blows nice and cold. There went another $2k..... but living in the Sacramento Valley makes me wish I'da done it years before. The adaptor kit for the 350 is a Marks, out of Australia. Tow hitch welded to chassis. Wired for 7 pin round or 4 pin flat trailers. Prodigy brake control, and wired for charging circuit. <P> The truck has been in an accident but I couldn't tell you when or where. It happened before the PO sold it to me. It was hit on (ran into?) with the left front fender. Nothing apparent to me, and the frame is straight. The transfer case is fine, and the drive line in general.<P> If you have any questions please ask. MIKE On May-28-14 at 21:36:58 PDT, seller added the following information: A watcher asked a question earlier today about the motor swap, and I thank him. It is pertinent. The motor swap was not a shade tree conversion. It was done by a local Pro Shop. I purchased the needed parts and the shop did the installation. The V8 and ECU came from the same truck, and was wired into place using a Painless Universal wiring harness. The ECU is located next to the left foot, behind the kick plate, in front of the A pillar. The Check Engine light is located above the left knee of the driver as well as the BDO (?) test socket. The Calif BAR issued a new bar code sticker for approval. Thank you. |

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ
Tue, Sep 30 2014A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader. Elon Musk will speak at the Automotive News World Congress in January. The Tesla CEO is a featured speaker for the program, "Setting the Pace in a Thriving Market." The event takes place in Detroit, which could lead to an interesting mix of people in the audience, and Musk will speak on January 13. Read more at Automotive News. Production of the Toyota Rav4 EV has ended. The shipment of the final Toyota EVs concludes Toyota's deal to source batteries from Tesla. Of the 2,600 Rav4 EVs to be produced, there are probably just a few hundred left to be sold, most of which are likely to be gone by the end of October. Read more at Inside EVs. Cadillac will likely show an improved version of the ELR at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The 2016 ELR will include unspecified "engineering enhancements," according to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell. There will be no 2015 model, as the 2014 model will be sold until the 2016 ELR goes on sale in the first half 2015. Read more at Edmunds. Uber executives, along with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, have announced a major expansion of the ride-hailing company's Chicago headquarters. Uber also plans to add 420 jobs by the end of 2016. "Uber's new expanded headquarters will allow the company to continue its rapid growth and serve its riders and drivers throughout Illinois," says Governor Quinn. Last month, Quinn vetoed legislation that would have put restrictions on companies like Uber in the state. Read more in the press release below.

Toyota C-HR Concept is a high-riding hybrid hatch [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Despite having the tendency to offer decidedly bland production cars, Toyota occasionally surprises us with interesting concept cars. Such is the case with the C-HR concept making its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week. It's a concept showing forward-thinking design that hints at "a type of crossover vehicle Toyota would like to bring to market," according to the automaker's release, and it rides on an all-new platform and uses a hybrid powertrain.
About that powertrain: Toyota isn't revealing anything, just saying that it will - brace yourselves - "deliver significantly improved fuel efficiency" (over what, exactly?) The car also uses a brand-new architecture, though it hasn't really revealed any major details about that aspect, either.
It's a high-riding, muscular thing, with a rakish hatchback shape. Should it reach production, Toyota says it would take the shape of a C-segment crossover. It'd be cool to see something like this hit the road someday, but for now, we won't hold our breath.
