33k$ OBO1974 Toyota Land cruiser FJ40

Frame off Restoration. Body off. RestoMod. Motor Swap. Restored. Crate Motor. 15k miles. Fuel injected. All new electrical.

This is an amazing Toyota Land cruiser FJ40, it looks great, its dialed in mechanically and drives wonderfully.  With its fuel injected crate motor it will crawl or cruise (well) over highway speeds.  I drive it often up and down the highway to work or out on the town.  It tracks straight, brakes perfectly (all wheel are disc), shifts smooth and has no slack in the steering.  The Land cruiser has a pronounced sound, with a nice deep growl produced by the crate 350 with headers and true dual side pipes.  It is tagged, titled and inspected.  All lights, electrical and gauges work too.  The truck has 15,000 miles since its nut and bolt restoration.

The FJ has had a number of modifications and improvements over the years, in multiple phases.  It began years ago as a frame off project from the ground up.  All components were new or improved. The frame was sand blasted and epoxy painted. Suspension, bushings and body mounts replaces.  The drive train was imported using a crate Chevrolet chevy 350, using an edelbrock fuel injection system. The transfer case and 4 speed transmission are rebuilt Toyota OEM, I’ve honestly never had components shift so smooth and easy, the transfercase glides in (most you have to double pump clutch and man handle it into 4wd). Also Seats, gauges, dash, etc all new… The paint and body work has just been completed, no rust or damage. The autometer gauges set on stainless steel dash operates perfectly.  All the electrical has been replaced using painless wiring system, the ignition is a push to start, hidden in the tuffy’s locking console.

·       The truck is amazing

This is my personal truck, so I obviously cannot offer a warranty or guarantee. The truck is also for sale locally, so I must reserve the right to end the auction anytime for any reason.  I’ve attempted to list everything as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions I will be happy to address (but due to the magnitude of questions and effort it requires to address, I must ask that you only ask questions if you are serious or have actually bid on the truck). 

This is a great truck that drives as nice as a modern jeep, and has the fuel efficiency and reliability of a modern fuel injected vehicle.

Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series. According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations.
We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger, the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline. Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons.
That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204. Ram Trucks trailed behind in third with 241,204 units with Toyota close behind at 229,769. Nissan, meanwhile, remains a distant fifth. Head over to PickupTrucks.com for a closer look at the breakdown in each segment.

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
