Runs and drives excellent, has been a daily driver, kept in garage when not driven. I have had most of it restored
over the last 5 years, however due to recent layoff I am forced to sell our fun truck. Starts on first turn of the
key, has many upgrades; power disc brakes, power steering, V8 powertrain conversion, and more below.

Includes original steel doors which are in excellent condition - were restored with all new rubber, they look new.
Also included are the original rear seats in good condition, a new bikini top, a rubber cargo area mat, and the
original steel hard top (which was not restored). Please see details below.

Powertrain: professional powertrain conversion done in the early 90’s. Chevy 350 engine with low miles, TH350 (GM)
Automatic Transmission - shifts smooth and was recently serviced, Mild shift kit, New Process (GM) 205 Transfer
Case. Edelbrock Manifold with Holley 4 bbl Warrior Carburetor. Truck runs excellent and sounds great. Unlike a
stock FJ40, this truck has power and motors easily over hills and mountains, runs great on freeway or on the
trails.

Brakes: Power brakes, front brakes were converted to disc brakes. Serviced a few years ago, pads/disc all in good
condition.

Suspension: 31 Yokohama tires are a couple years old, a lot of tread and life on them. Original rims. 2”
Ironman leaf springs in front, original leaf springs in back. Rides nice however before I was laid off I bought
the matching rear 2” Ironman leaf springs for rear, and can be included if new owner wants to have them
installed.

Body: Several years ago I had it repainted the original color Rustic Green. Shop did a decent job. Had all
rubber replaced. Also had some common rust spots fixed. Its not perfect, but looks great and gets compliments
everywhere we go.

Doors: Doors go on easily, slide over the hinges and then drop the hinge pin in. As the rest of the truck, the
doors were sanded down, prepped, repainted original color, and have new rubber.

Original Top: The top is included and in decent condition,
The ceiling on all FJ40’s is fiberglass,

Rear Seats: Also included are the original rear ambulance seats. They were not restored however in good
condition.

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue

Wed, Oct 9 2019

Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra.Â In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018Â–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019Â–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."Â The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â

2014 Toyota Corolla to bow before LA

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

We've sort of been wondering when Toyota would finally debut the next-generation Corolla sedan, especially since the current car is getting very, very long in the tooth. We got a glimpse of the new compact's design at this year's Detroit Auto Show in the form of the Furia concept seen above, but we figured we'd see the production car by now.
According to Edmunds, Toyota will be unveiling the new Corolla sometime soon, and it won't wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Officials from the Japanese automaker did not state a specific location or date for the new car's unveiling, but said that the 2014 Corolla is expected to be on sale before the LA expo later this year and that it will be revealed "somewhere in the US."
Toyota did not divulge any details about the new Corolla, and we're willing to bet that the aggressive lines of the Furia concept will be dulled down quite a bit for the production model. Still, news that the new car is coming sooner rather than later is indeed a good thing.
