1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj-40 on 2040-cars
Bowie, Maryland, United States
I am always available by mail at: josefjpprocknow@ukpoets.net .
A Stunning and rare 1974 & ½, the Coolest FJ-40 year ever with the added stock 4 speed trans (3 speed in prior
years) and the remaining Hatchback rear doors (went to the dual ambulance doors with no open while driving ability
in 1975)! I had a professional Major Renovation Frame-Off, New Replacement Full Tub…done and completed 2005/6 by
Iron Pig of VA. Easily $60K invested! All painted Factory KTM Orange as individual parts at time of restoration by
Iron Pig’s preferred painter! A True Beauty who drives as good as she looks! Since all is almost better than
perfect I will list what is missing or in complete: One paint spot on hood showing signs of a potential to chip
(see pic). Original switches could be upgraded for greater beauty… No stereo, missing rear seats (I have a nice
pair of full size units with a special brackets to fit outside of the roll bar but at an added cost of $750 beyond
sale price). Rear heater missing (I have one but not that attractive but can be purchased separately if
interested), vent hose to windshield air defrost missing. Skid plate missing. Just had an issue with the blinkers
and hazard not working consistently (I will replace control unit as needed to have working) all other lights,
wipers work great! No windshield sprayer installed, available for under $50.00. Stock engine with maybe original
miles all checks out and runs good! (I was going to but a LT1 fuel injected in next…) All 4 wheel drive functions
work great, locking hubs, trans smooth will do 70mph. I have a video showing drive, climbing, braking and speed I
can send you! Power steering works great (a must feature!). Full tire tread life from new (maybe 2500mi on them)
Would prefer to have interested buyer come and drive her in person prior to buying… I have bought almost a dozen
vehicle w/o driving and have had some great luck but if possible come on over and take her for a ride! Front wheel
disk brakes stops amazing, parking brake great too! Great seals all around, no leaks. Windows a bit stiff to
operate but with all new parts and seals (unfortunately the front small vent windows do not open due to the
position of custom roll cage). Custom bucket seats with a Tuffy center console with all kinds of storage. Stock
under driver seat full size storage compartment. Many, many top quality parts and on going maintenance invested in
this very tough beauty! As with the sale of all older vehicles this is a no warranty transaction but I will be glad
to send with all previous work documentation and help with all questions! Be glad to assist with setting up for
your pick-up in person or with a delivery service as well. I will continue to add info as this listing moves
forward.

Subaru Viziv 2 presages Tribeca replacement with diesel hybrid tech
Mon, 31 Mar 2014Subaru is in the middle of a new product bonanza. It has recent replacements for the Impreza and Forester at dealers, and soon we're getting the WRX, Legacy and if rumors are right the new Outback as well. Now, there are rumblings that there could be two more models from the Japanese brand on the way with styling inspired by the Viziv 2 concept from the Geneva Motor Show.
According to a company insider speaking with Motor Trend, the crossover concept shows the way for the brand's future design language. The shape would be used on a smaller CUV that is still being kept quite secret, and a second, larger one that would replace the recently axed Tribeca. The bigger model is the first priority and is planned as a new technology showcase.
It's rumored to use a turbodiesel, four-cylinder boxer engine that would be boosted with one electric motor on the front axle and two at the rear, with a plug-in hybrid system sourced from Toyota. It should provide a great mix of torque and fuel economy. A smaller flat-six engine would be a second powertrain option. Though the Viziv 2 concept only seats four, the production version would probably offer three rows.
Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car
Fri, 25 Jan 2013Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
