1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Rugged on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Available for acquisition is my 1977 FJ40.
The body and drive train was removed from the chassis and the bare chassis was media blasted and coated in Imron.
While the chassis was being media blasted the underbody was prepped and coated in bedliner. There was minor rust at
the rear door sill which was cut out and replaced, photo documentation is available. There was no other rust
concerns at all, pre paint photo documentation verifies the remarkable condition prior to restoration. The interior
wears original patina, nothing has been done to hide the amazing condition of the original interior. New shocks,
shackles, and body bushings were introduced at time of reassembly. All spot welds and rivets are easily visible and
compliment the unmolested body. All glass is original TEQ, the windshield has a couple imperfections that do not
obstruct but it is the original glass throughout. The side mirrors are not original, they are European spec sourced
for their aesthetic contribution. Every light works, headlights, signals, marker lights, seat belt light, brake
lights, interior e-brake light, back up lights, fog lights and fog light switch light, gauge cluster, green dash
light and dome light. The only sticker missing from this vehicle is the Unleaded fuel only sticker, I am trying to
source one now.Vintage Air was added and functions as intended. The wheels and tires are not original, the white
wagon wheels and tires are available if desired.

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?
Thu, 18 Apr 2013According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.
Toyota recalling FJ Cruiser due to excessively bright headlights
Sun, 05 May 2013Now, hold on. This recall isn't quite as serious as it sounds. Yes, Toyota is recalling 11,489 FJ Cruiser models from the 2007 to 2013 model years, and yes, it's because the vehicles, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states, "fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, 'Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.'" But read the fine print and you'll see the catch: This recall is only for vehicles fitted with the automaker's auxiliary lighting kit that can be mounted to the front bumper.
Basically, the auxiliary lamp assemblies use 55-watt bulbs, and when these are turned on in conjunction with the upper beam headlamps, it's a pretty blinding sight. NHTSA states that excessively bright lights can blind other drivers, increasing the risk for a crash.
To remedy the situation, Toyota will replace the 55-watt bulbs with cooler 35-watt units. The recall is expected to begin later this month. Scroll down for the full details in the NHTSA report.
2014 Toyota Corolla gets marginal IIHS small overlap crash test score [w/video]
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Toyota may have performed some major surgery on the 2014 Corolla, but that hasn't helped the Japanese automaker overcome tough new crash test procedures. The Corolla, Toyota's bread-and-butter compact sedan, managed only a Marginal score on the new small overlap crash test, which was just added last year.
Despite the low score, the Corolla performed well in the moderate overlap front, side, rollover and rear testing, which was enough to score it a 2013 Top Safety Pick. In testing in August, six of the Corolla's competitors earned the Top Safety Pick + award, for good or acceptable scores across the board.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Corolla's "Marginal" score was down to an "intruding structure," that could cause injuries to the lower left leg. There was also concern that in a collision, the driver's head would move after hitting the air bag, and collide with the A-pillar or dash.
