1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a 2F engine. Olive Brown
I have owned a total of 14 FJ40s and 2 FJ45 pickups in the last 30 years and this stock '78 is a nice one!. It
has 99.9% of the 'original-stuff'' still on it AND that stuff still functions! I currently have two other FJ40s and
the facility-space requires this one to be adopted. I have a passion for these vehicles and I'm certain that the
new owner will love it.
I live 40 minutes northwest of Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and 90 minutes northwest of Hobby Airport
in Houston, TX. I welcome you to inspect and drive this vehicle and you will agree as to the quality of this FJ40.
Interior:
Front seats and jump seats in FJ40 stock charcoal-grey are in very nice condition.
Driver & passenger floorboards and cargo bed are in great condition (see photos). Two coats of Zero-Rust product
(as a base) and 3 coats of Raptor bed liner (with matching paint) was applied to the driver and passenger floor
boards. I left the transmission hump stock, however it can be finished to match the floor boards. I will include a
can of extra paint.
Knobs and switches are present and operate:
Wipers slow & fast operational
Choke, hazard, fan low & high, fresh air, warm air all function. Vent/heat/defrost knobs present and heater
functions. Rear heater was disassembled, cleaned and it has an easy-access, quick disconnect wire to turn it on &
off. It works well and will certainly warm-your-cargo.
Cigarette lighter is present but does not work.
There is a home-made piece of plastic to cover the hole where the AM/FM radio was removed. Antennae is present.
All gauges operate correctly and hold steady. (Nice that this FJ40 holds engine temp on the cool side).
Emergency brake holds the vehicle stationary.
Horn functions with two horn assemblies on the side of the radiator shroud.
Gauges, dash, heater and dome lights all function. Dome light plastic cover is cracked.
Sun visors and rear view mirror are functional.
New 4-speed shift knob.
Side window defoggers and hoses from heater are present and functional.
New pedal pads for brake, clutch and gas.
Glove box....you can eat out of there it is so clean!
Driver & passenger windows roll up and down properly.
Driver, passenger, ambulance doors and fuel door lock & unlock with TWO sets of keys.
Headliner is not present, however the top has been properly prepared & is ready for a replacement liner. These run
about $150 from Cruiser Corps.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.
