We spent 2 years and countless dollars painstakingly restoring this 1971 Land Cruiser FJ40. A beautiful frame off
restoration featuring all new wiring, Drive-train, and of course Disc Brakes, new fuel system including fuel tank.
By the way we started out with a really nice truck that was merely painted the wrong color with minimal rust.
Powered by Cummins Diesel 4BT 3.9 ltr. In-line 4 Cylinder, large air to air Intercooler, P7100 pump, HX35 turbo,
non- EGR, 8 valve, with 450ft/lbs torque @ 1600rpm and 180 HP @ 2500 Rpm. which cruises at a comfortable 80-90 MPH
uphill. NV-4500, Five -speed New Venture/Chrysler (Ram) transmission and automatic locking transfer-case all brand
new matched to the Cummins diesel. Tuned to perfection by a world renowned diesel mechanic here in Denver, no black
smoke and starts in seconds. A conversion cost of $25,000.00, by far a better solution than even the ICONic builder
uses. Will run for 200-300,000 miles easily!
Repainted original PPG code I-1710 Toyota 14208 Scanda Blue inside and out. With new charcoal upholstery covering
the seats. $6000.00 spent on paint and interior restoration.
Along with the disc brakes we found some of the last few brand new BFG KM2's 31/10.50 15 left to cover the original
6.5 inch wide steelies to help it stop. To fit the 31 inch tires we added a 2 inch Old Man Emu suspension which
maintains the original ride with a slightly more comfortable feel. Here we spent an additional $8500 for ride and
comfort.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Toyota recalling select 2014 Camry and Avalon models
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Toyota has announced a rather small voluntary recall, affecting 5,650 Avalon and Camry sedans from model year 2014. Both gas and hybrid models are included in the action.
This recall focuses on the left front lower suspension arm, which may have a bad bolt connecting it to the ball joint. If the car hits a big enough pothole - a real concern as we head into winter - or suffers a major impact, the two components could separate, at which point steering control would more or less vanish.
According to Toyota, there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths due to this problem. Toyota is notifying owners, who will need to report to dealers for a free replacement lower suspension arm.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
