The last of a great breed, and one of the last 40-series
production units: this is my 1984 Australian FJ45 Troopy, VIN FJ45406186. Built
front to rear for expeditioning plus lots of goodness like a rebuilt engine, air conditioning,
power steering, upgraded alternator, new tires, full floater
axle and more. There are dozens of cool and new parts on the Troopy. I am detail oriented, so crack a beverage,
sit down, and read the full description. Built with input from 4WD Toyota Owner magazine, a publication solely for 4WD Toyota and Land Cruiser owners. Check them out online. 1984 model. Literally one of the final 40-series Land Cruisers to come off the production line, and in the extremely rare FJ45 Troop Carrier (Troopy) configuration. Super rare and super cool. Powerful 4.2L 2F engine, rebuilt less than 20,000 miles ago by HM Gem Australia. Runs great. Factory 12V system. The 2F means parts are readily available from US Toyota dealers and aftermarket companies. Has brand new spark plugs and wires, PS/alternator/water pump belts, clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder, installed by Torfab. New water pump, new fuel pump, new fuel filters (2) and new OME steering stabilizer. Brand new spare radiator/ water hoses included. 4-speed H41 transmission with factory granny low range gear. This FJ45 will climb a tree. Literally. The FJ45 runs on petrol or propane (LPG). I have run it on both. It is set to run petrol only currently. The Troopy has two, 40lb (9.4 gallon) propane tanks. A dash switch changes between petrol or propane. You can switch from one to the other on the fly. Propane burns cleanly, is cheap, and yes, the filler fitting works in the USA. Mileage on propane is around 230 miles total with both tanks filled. Factor in the main petrol fuel tank and you’ve got around a 500 mile total range! Dash gauge shows level of propane, too, plus there’s a gauge on the main tank too. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. Supremely rare! Compressor spins good, needs belt and re-gas. Factory power steering with rebuilt pump. Works great! Dual battery system. Backup battery is charged by the solar panel on roof (see pics) when engine is off. Brand new main battery from Costco. Upgraded to 150A alternator. Fully tinted windows. Proper large rear view mirrors. Note the original floor mat is in excellent condition. There's an external jump start Anderson plug at right rear corner, and cables are included. Flood and pencil beam spotlights on roof that work with high beams. Brand new 33” Goodyear Duratracs, including spare, on 16” wheels. Factory rear full floater axle (Aussie spec, USA only got semi-floaters). Front disc brakes, rear drums. All new front hardware upgraded to 4Runner units (bigger and better) by Torfab. Parking brake also fully rebuilt by Torfab. She’s a solid old girl, has various patches and bubbles of rust inside and out but no rot, and frame is fine. Overfill of fuel caused paint to flake below inlet. One tie rod end needs replacing. Blue Max shocks and springs, 2.5" lift. POP TOP ROOF TENT! Love this! No harsh wind resistance and not top-heavy like a normal rack mounted rooftop tent. Unlatch the latches, push it up and there is an upper floor with 4” foam mattress for comfortable sleeping for two! Canvas sides with screen windows that zip up. So awesome to not have to set up and tear down a ground tent! Interior/exterior: where to start? Full battery monitoring equipment, rear view camera (I’m keeping the viewscreen but camera stays), rear seats with seat belts, two 20-gallon water cans with powered pump and two outlets, one inlet is missing and common RV-style filter housing needs replaced, hot water shower outlet, fold down table with room for sink, mirror and light on side, 12V outlets, Kenwood stereo with iPod cable but won't turn on, trailer brake controller, heavy duty top-of-the-line voltage monitoring units and power inverter (see pics), interior LED lights, passenger map light on flexible stalk, upper storage shelf at windshield roofline, UHF radio, multiple cubby storage boxes and more. Rare factory digital clock and hand throttle. Large 65-quart capable sliding aluminum freezer/fridge platform comes with Troopy. (Note: EvaKool fridge seen in pics not included with sale, sorry.) You can fly in to Seatac, the Kitsap Airporter will take you direct to Gig Harbor and I will pick you up in the Troopy. Also happy to deliver to Tacoma area. I just got back from an expedition to SE Oregon in her, see pics. Truck is 30 years old, she's not perfect, needs attention here and there--it's a Land Cruiser! ‘Nuff said! Vehicle is sold “as is” with no expressed or implied warranties. Payment via cash or cashier’s check only drawn on a major bank. Clear Washington state title, will release on clearing of valid cashier's check or immediately with cash. I am a Cruiserhead with a small barn of Cruisers, and I’ve sold a few in the last year, see my 100% positive feedback for the HJ61, FJ45, HJ47 etc. Please feel free to ask questions and yes I welcome test drives and mechanic checkouts (you arrange for and pay for). Thank you and happy bidding for a rare and awesome FJ45! |

Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
Wed, 14 May 2014Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
Honda Civic overtakes Toyota Corolla as America's best-selling compact
Mon, 04 Nov 2013The battle to claim October's best-selling compact sedan title has been won by the Honda Civic. The Japanese four-door sold 27,328 units, leaving the Toyota Corolla - September's title holder - in its wake with 23,637 units sold. In terms of year-to-date sales, the Civic sits at 280,899 units, with the Corolla trailing at 257,184 vehicles.
Sitting in third place, separated by a significant gap from the leaders, is the Chevrolet Cruze with 16,087 units sold. The Ford Focus earned fourth, with 15,108 units moved out of showrooms. (It is interesting to note that while the Civic and Corolla have both enjoyed double-digit sales increases year-over-year, the Cruze and Focus have seen significant decreases during the same period.)
Sales of the Hyundai Elantra hit 14,876 units, putting it in fifth place, with the Volkswagen Jetta earning sixth place with 11,710 units. Rounding out the ten top sellers were the Nissan Sentra (8,399 units), Mazda3 (7,647 units), Dodge Dart (5,617 units) and Subaru Impreza/WRX (4,923 units). The Kia Forte (4,706 units) and Volkswagen Golf (2,249 units), eleventh and twelfth respectively, have fallen behind.
