1971 FJ40 .
The previous owner told me this FJ40 had been cosmetically restored 3 or 4 years ago. It is a super clean daily driver. It appears to have new door weather stripping, headliner, deluxe carpet, emblems, hub caps and other misc items.
Overall, this FJ40 remains very original. The interior is in amazing condition for a 43 year old vehicle. The interior paint is all original and the entire dash, visors and gauges are all original and still in nice condition. All the gauges work properly. The wipers and lights work fine.
The upholstery is a heavy duty Navy Blue vinyl and in great condition. The seat backs and frames are original. The headliner and floors have been treated to a dense automotive carpet, which I hated at first, but getting kind of used to now.
The vehicle has 79,082 original (box A) miles. The title VIN numbers (FJ4091677) match the frame numbers, as well as the body tag numbers, which is still in the driver door jamb. Even the engine block numbers match the truck. "In the future, let's see which FJ's are more sought after. All numbers matching examples, or FJ's modded with LS5 V8's, billet pulleys and racing seats.... ? "
The body is straight, solid and shows well. There are no signs of accidents, and all the doors and hood close squarely. The windows roll up and down nicely and the rear fender wells have never been cut.
The truck is very solid, and travels quietly down the road with no squeaks or rattles.
As you can see, ALL the original components in the engine bay are still in place. A big plus If you have plans to do a full restoration.
The engine sounds great and runs strong. The engine does not blow smoke ever and the truck has no oil leaks whatsoever. The engine even runs cool in the Arizona heat (117+). The brakes work fine and the clutch and tranny work well. The steering is fine around town but wants to wander a bit at full speed. Big tires??
The exterior has been repainted. It is not a "high-end" repaint, but still nice enough to show. There are no major drips, scratches or paint chips.
I did install a new lift kit, shocks and 5 new 33''x10.5" BFG Mud Terrains. The BFG's are ultra quiet on the road.
The body has had some rust issues in the past. These areas however, have been cut out and had new panels welded back in. The quality of work looks OK, and the repairs seems to be holding fine. (Please see the pictures of the repairs on the driver floor and drivers step area.) That area on driver's side of the floor, is the only part of the entire floor that has been worked on. The flat panels above the driver's and passenger side step boards show signs of work, and the area below the tailgates have been worked on too. The old patchwork is there, but I don't feel have any effect on body strength whatsoever.
I feel this is a nice FJ40 for someone who actually wants to drive and enjoy their Land Cruiser. It is not an "over the top" Nut and Bolt restoration that you wouldn't dare take off road, but it is certainly nice enough to show off at your local car show. Drive it to work on Fridays, or pack it up and head out on weekend adventures. One thing is for sure...a clean, very original, matching number FJ40 will only gain in value.
I have a 100% positive eBay feedback rating. I have sold many classic cars, vintage boats and classic motorcycles all over the world and have not had one displeased customer. I am forthcoming about all my vehicles true conditions, positive and negative. I do ask you to read my listing carefully. Also, please call if you have any questions, prior to placing a bid, and if possible come out and view the vehicle in person. Please only bid if you intend to follow through with the purchase. Thank you!

2014 Toyota 4Runner priced at $32,820*
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota has announced pricing on its facelifted 2014 4Runner. The rough-and-tumble SUV will be available in three grades: base SR5, upmarket Limited and off-road-ready Trail. Depending on the trim level, buyers will have the choice of rear-drive or one of two different four-wheel drive systems. The sole engine is Toyota's 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower V6.
Entry-level buyers can get an SR5 for $32,820. That includes 17-inch wheels, fabric seats and Toyota's Entune infotainment system. Adding four-wheel drive bumps the price by $2,920, while the Premium Package (SofTex faux leather seats, navigation, sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors and power passenger seat) adds $1,875. All model prices listed do not include $860 for destination and tax.
The Trail starts at $35,725, while the Trail Premium bumps the price to $38,645, adding the same suite of equipment found on the SR5. While it boasts the same standard equipment as the SR5, the Trail is better suited for going off road. A multi-terrain response system comes standard, as does hill-start assist and Toyota's Crawl Control. For an extra sum, buyers can opt for the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which automatically disconnects the sway bars for better articulation and trail holding.
Oh, Kei Go: Toyota set to enter JDM minicar market?
Fri, 01 Oct 2010Toyota is looking to get bigger... by going smaller. The Japanese automaker is looking to enter the kei car market, a popular segment in its homeland. Kei cars are small vehicles with restrictions on length (11.15 feet), width (4.86 feet), engine size (660 cubic centimeters) and power output (63 horsepower). Currently, Toyota is the only Japanese automaker not producing vehicles for this segment, but that is set to change, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
Thanks to its relationship with Daihatsu, Toyota can jump right into the kei car game. Daihatsu is one of the largest producer of kei vehicles and it is currently owned by Toyota.
Although kei cars are restricted in terms of size and power, they are not restricted by technology. Automakers utilize different drive configurations, powertrains and amenities to keep their cars fresh. Daihatsu and Toyota plan to work together to produce Toyota-branded kei cars. The two companies will utilize Toyota's knowledge of electric and hybrid systems to produce efficient little vehicles for the Japanese market.
Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title
Sun, 15 Jun 2014As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
