Im selling my 1974 Toyota Landcruiser fj40. its a great truck. I have owned it for about 7 months and it has been my daily driver the whole time. I am moving to brooklyn and well... it cant come.
It was restored by the previous owner about 10 years ago and after that he only drove it on nice sundays. It has the original drive train. inline 6cyl motor, 4 speed manual transmission, 4x4 transfercase. I just had the cylinder head completely rebuilt, brand new valves, seats, guides, springs. re-machined and cleaned. new head gasket and headbolts. fresh tune up. At the same time i had the carborator rebuilt. total just for parts and machining for this all was over $1200. Truck runs great. Has a slight exhaust leak. transmission shifts perfect. 4X4 works perfect. Truck does not have power steering. Interior is in pretty good shape. Odometer doesnt work and cigerette lighter too. every other knob and gauge works. It has a brand new custom oak dask board with cupholders ( I needed those). It has jump seats in the back. To make it a better daily driver I Sound proofed the truck. in the front i installed cruiser crap sound deadener and in the back I installed FAT MAT. Before i did this I lined the whole floor with Grizzly grip roll on liner. When i re-installed the top after winter, I put new weatherstripping between the top and body. And also on top of the windshield and the windows. The Truck has 32x11.50 x 15 tires It has Manual locking hubs It has an Optima red top battery. It has a custom speaker box with a Cd player above the sunvisers. Very well made and sounds very good. When the P/O restored it, He used CoolCruisers very thick replacement panels and rear sill. The Body is very solid. There is rust spot forming. nothing to serious but could use attention. along the front fenders it is starting to bubble. The P/O had the hardtop shipped to him and the way they strapped it down rubbed the paint off in 2 spots on back. The back has a custom swing down tailgate. It is a different color then the rest of the vehicle. There is Scratches and dings so dont expect a perfect vehicle. Im sure there is somethings I am forgetting to write. If you have an questions JUST ask! If you would like to come and see the vehicle, contact me and we will arrange for it. |

Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating
Wed, May 18 2022It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score. SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category. Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested. The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept
Sun, 03 Nov 2013Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?
