Selling my one of my most reliable friends over the past 35 years!I just don't use this old beast the way it was meant to be used anymore.This truck has been with me since new,though not much original remains what with all the upgrades & changes made over the years.Many up grades have been made over the years to make her more offroad capable.A complete frame off was done approx. 8 years ago when frame rotted out. A mint bj42 frame was sourced & was acid dipped then galvanized.Will last forever!A complete OME suspension was added.It now has a turbo charged 3b & 5 speed out of an 87 bj60.Engine features aux.oil cooler & 4 core rad.Engine has 350,000 km but these things run forever.The transfercase was upgraded with a set of crawler gears from Mark's 4wd acc. out of Australia.3.08 low range-1.08 hi range.Tranny & tc both shift smooth & no strange noises.Clutch is only couple of years old.Brakes & steering are good,no excessive wear.Truck features a factory PTO winch up front & warn planetary winch installed in the rear.Front & rear axles feature ARB air lockers with compressor under hood.Rear axle is a full foater from a late model fj45 1Ton.Tires are 255-R85-16 on 7.5x 16 rims,approx. 50% tread.Under truck is a trick custom skid plate made from 3/16"plate.This thing is more like a belly pan on a bulldozer,your not damaging anything under this truck,if you can't drive over a boulder,drag it with the winch!!!Also has nice custom rear bumper & receiver hitch,nicest looking setup I've seen on the back end of an old cruiser.The body tub is a 1 pce Aqualu aluminum tub complete with aluminum windshield frame,tailgate,running boards &custom aluminum liftgate that replace barn style door setup.(nicer & simpler for running with top removed as pics show).The front end sheetmetal & front doors are factory Toyota as are hardtop side panels.One interesting feature is that I removed front turn signals from fenders & installed them in the grill.This is how the very first fj's from the 1950's were set up.Personally I think it's a way cleaner look & no lights to break in the bush.All have very very minor surface rust if any rust at all.As pics show,truck features a custom made trunk lid that can be installed when top is removed.It is lockable & watertite.looks great with bikini top & soft half doors.Always get lots of comments on this setup,never seen one like it before.Also has a lockable aluminum center console.Seats are out of a Toyota 4runner,look just like they were original but way more comfy.Drivers seat small tear on outer edge from sliding in & out of truck.This truck was built to be a daily driver & very capable offroad at the same time.She's no trailer queen that's for sure.Paint job is a little faded & rough around the edges but hey ,it adds character!Now for the bad.The exhaust system is on it's last breath,turbo down pipe is still good & muffler is stainless & appears still good.Engine has several oil leaks,nothing major but messy.Rear main & front timing cover seal & lifter cover I think.Front axle swivels weeping oil,again nothing major but messy.I think I've covered all major points.There is so much invested in this truck but it is time to let her go.Winning bidder to deposit $1000.USD to my paypal within 24hrs.,the remainder by direct deposit to my bank acc. within 7 days.If you are not picking up truck yourself,I will try & assist with shipping in any way I can. |

Heavily updated 2015 Toyota Camry to bow in New York
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Looks like the new, "more emotional" Toyota Camry designer Kevin Hunter talked about back in January is going to arrive very soon, with news that Toyota's bread-and-butter sedan will be getting an update in just a few weeks time at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
"On April 16 at the New York International Auto Show, we will make an important announcement about America's best-selling car, the Toyota Camry," said Curt McAllister, Toyota product news manager, in an emailed statement. Considering the high-profile nature of the NYAS - not to mention the competition that will be shown there - it makes sense that Toyota would choose to unveil something as significant as a major refresh at the Javits Center.
We wish we had more to tell you than this, but unfortunately, that's about all we've got to go on at this time. Of course, we'll have much more for you during the lead up to NYAS, including any leaks of the refreshed Camry. Stay tuned.

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?
Sun, 24 Nov 2013With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."
