1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj-40 on 2040-cars
Poolesville, Maryland, United States
A Stunning and rare 1974, 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). No stereo, rear seats Not install but comes with a nice pair with a special brackets to fit outside of
the roll bar. 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. 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 70+mph. I have a video showing drive, climbing, braking and speed I
can send you! Power steering works great (a must feature!). Full new 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 vehicles 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!

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]
Tue, 08 Jan 2013While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
