If you are looking for a TLC that is ready for off road, but a solid daily driver this is your truck. This is a RARE car in that it started out rust free before the restoration. This car has been lovingly restored and has never been owned by a kid nor has it been off road. No diamond plate, no bondo, no rust-see photos of pan. This truck was born in New Mexico where it spent its teenage years and adolescence, after which it was brought to California to bulk up a bit and get a makeover. It has always been garaged here in California.
The motor was installed about three thousand miles ago and is a Man e Fre Hi Performance rebuild with the power pack. All work was done by the professionals at Man e Fre. Check the links below for the info and the review of the performance of the motor. It is a great motor, tremendous torque and cruises at 65-70 at about 2500rpm. The transmission is the Australian 5spd as described in the link below. New Radiator. Suspension was also upgraded with new shocks. I cannot include the links, but go to Man e Fre's website and pull up: hi performance engines, power pack fj60, transmission and transfercase and reviews of the high performance 2f. If you place man-e-fre.com in front of the following links, it should get you there.

I have all OEM parts that were replaced other than the long block and transmission.
The paint was done by a local shop and looks great. White is the original color. There is no rust and only minor dings. The paint was done about a year ago and has sustained no significant damage. The photos are post my wash, not detailed and hasn't been waxed since it was painted. There are a couple of cracks in the dash and the carpet is stained but otherwise OK. No tears in the headliner and both dome lights work. Light which illuminates the speedo has gone out, but other than that the electrical system is intact and working fine. Headlights and turn signals fine, but water jets for wipers don't work. Pump works, but probably some blockage.
Recaros were installed about six months ago, but have the OEM seats available. The center console is steel with a lock and two cupholders.
Wheels are fj40 post '73 single piece, that have been sandblasted and powder coated black with a semi-gloss finish. The caps are OEM from Toyota.
This car was lovingly preserved in the high desert of New Mexico, which is why it is absolutely clean and rust free. Check with Mike at Man a Fre and he will confirm it is one of the cleaner '60s that they have worked on. The work has all been done by professionals and done properly. This is a proper Landcruiser and priced accordingly.

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas
Fri, 02 May 2014Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
