This FJ40 is the result of a "no limits" one of a kind custom build completed in our shop. Aside from the vintage frame, VIN and title the whole vehicle has been built with new parts from the ground up. It has been driven approximately 500 miles for road testing and fine-tuning to make sure it is 100% reliable.
The body consists of an aircraft aluminum tub made by Aqualu, the tailgate and doors are also aqualu units. The body has been professionally painted in Arctic white PPG BC/CC. Frame, roll cage and suspension are powder coated for durability and long lasting good looks. Power comes from a 2007 Chevy 5.3 HO all aluminum engine making over 330hp backed by a 4L65E transmission and Atlas II transfer case. Exhaust features a high temperature ceramic coating and a polished stainless muffler. The custom aluminum center console houses an Art Carr gate shifter and twin sticks for the Atlas as well as controls for the ARB front locker and on-board air compressor. The impressive roll cage is tied into the shock towers, rocker guards, and front hoop and the frame has been fully boxed for strength. Proffitt's cruisers built a custom toyota based front axle using mini truck knuckles, longfield's high strength axle joints,an ARB air locker and heat treated axles turned by billet high-steer arms. Front suspension is a custom radius arm setup using high strength ballistic joints and poly bushings. The front-end is controlled by a saginaw power steering conversion and 12" travel Bilstein remote reservoir shocks with dual rate coil springs. In the rear a custom axle was made using a high-pinion Dana 60 with reverse-cut 4.10 gears and a 35 spline detroit locker. a triangulated 4-link was employed with high strength spherical rod ends and a tubular axle gusset / mount. 14" travel remote reservoir coil-overs were used in the rear with a custom enclosed shock tower. Stopping power is more than adequate with 4-wheel power disc brakes: Toyota 4-piston calipers up front and GM single piston calipers in the rear with integral parking brake. Inside the cabin the engine is monitored by a full array of Autometer gauges. Heat and ice cold air conditioning are provided by a custom under-dash setup. The console is wrapped in black leather. Cobra racing seats are installed on a tubular mount, and an optima redtop battery powers the electricals from under the driver seat. Although this is a fully functional off-road vehicle, the build quality is stunning. Body, paint, interior and overall fit & finish are second to none. This FJ40 was built in our full service restoration / custom shop. If you are interested in this vehicle and would like some modifications or add-ons we will be happy to accommodate you.

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Toyota Camry lineup gets interior and tech updates one year in
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When it debuted last year, the Toyota Camry came in for some criticism over its interior, most centered on material choices - both in quality (not enough) and variety (too much). Thus, Toyota has responded after just one model year, updating both materials and features on its gas-powered and hybrid family sedans for 2013.
The LE version appeared to get the lion's share of the improvements. Specifically, the LE is getting "soft-touch" door materials as well as armrests that match the rest of the interior color (instead of being black). The LE model also gets Toyota's six-inch display screen that helps folks get a better gander at the car's energy usage and fuel economy, among other things. Other changes include adding cross-traffic alert for models equipped with blind spot monitoring
Toyota introduced its latest version of the Camry and Camry Hybrid in the fall of 2011 as a 2012 model. Sales have been solid, and in particular, the Camry Hybrid has improved its fortunes, bumping its US sales almost fivefold to more than 45,000 units. So far in 2013, the latter has carried over much of that momentum, boosting January 2013 sales from a year earlier by 81 percent to 3,826 units.
