For Sale: TOYFJ40 - 1977 Toyota FJ40 350 Chevy V8 conversion

This FJ40 turns heads at every light and has been known to attract beautiful women. I have owned this Toyota for 11 years and have stripped body and frame down to bare metal for restoration. The highlights from below are a high-end Barrett-Jackson level professional paint job and bodywork (no rivet dimples), Chevrolet 350 V8 crate engine, Ranger 2 Speed Overdrive, Power steering and Power brakes. There is a lot of more detail that went into this build. It has been garage-kept for as long as I have owned it. There are less than 5K miles on the re-build/restoration.

Building this 4 wheeler was somewhat of a mid-life crisis project for me, as I built it in the image of the 1975 FJ40 I owned during my college years. The personalized license plate reads TOYFJ40. My intentions were to never sell it. Unfortunately, the number of grandkids I now have exceeds the seating capacity of the 40 and it has forced the issue. I have organized receipts for nearly everything I have spent on this vehicle and some documentation from the previous owner. The guy I bought it from said it would never win any shows. Honestly, this is the cleanest, most tastefully customized Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 you will find anywhere; the other guys who say that about theirs are lying. Just kidding. There are other nice custom 40s out there at this level, but there is no doubt this one is a 1 per center. If the nicest FJ40 around is what you are looking for, then this is it.

HyFive hydrogen infrastructure gets $51M boost across Europe

Fri, Apr 4 2014

"High five!" was one of the catch-phrases of Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh comedic alter ego Borat. A real-world HyFive is being announced by a power broker named Boris. And this is serious business. London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced a program called HyFive, which will see automakers and other entities invest 31 million British pounds ($51 million US) in a demonstration project for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. By next year, London will have three hydrogen refueling stations, while there will be one each in the Danish cities of Aarhus and Odense and one in Innsbruck, Austria. Leaders of the program are planning for other stations in Sweden, Germany and Italy. The five participating automakers are BMW, Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota, while other companies involved include Copenhagen Hydrogen Network, ITM Power and Linde. Those OEMs will make 110 fuel-cell vehicles available for deployment in Bolzano, Copenhagen, Innsbruck, London, Munich and Stuttgart. The program represents an effort to address the "chicken or egg?" challenge inherent to establishing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle market. While the powertrain technology provides benefits by combining fossil-fuel-like refueling times with long driving ranges and zero emissions, establishing a refueling network and building fuel-cell vehicles is prohibitively expensive, especially in low volumes. The London mayor is no stranger to green transportation technology. Late last year, Johnson made himself available for a photo opportunity with Ecotive and Frazer-Nash, which had developed a six-passenger extended-range plug-in taxicab. The mayor got a test drive in the cabs this week. You can check out the HyFive press release below. Global leaders sign up to GBP31m plan to demonstrate viability of hydrogen vehicles International project HyFive pioneers hydrogen fuel cell technology A pioneering GBP31 million deal will be struck today (3 April) to make hydrogen vehicles a viable and environmentally friendly choice for motorists across Europe. Leading motor manufacturers, hydrogen fuel suppliers, the Mayor of London's Office and energy consultancies from around the globe are signing up to the HyFive project, the largest of its kind in Europe, at City Hall in London today.

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
