If you are looking for a restored, high end custom built Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, you have just found it! This FJ
was professionally repaired using new sheet metal components (where needed) from Cool Cruisers of Texas.
Professionally installed and custom painted, interior has bed liner in black and New custom Mastercraft Baja seats
and a Tuffy center console. Everything on this build was completed in the last 2 ˝ years, many components were
replaced with new parts or rebuilt to perform like new. The truck has been driven very rarely since completion.
This is one of the more stunning FJs you will see. The Body is super straight. The Paint color is a 1978 Porsche
Green. The panels of this FJ were painted on the outside as well as the inside…giving a complete color change.
Both fenders & aprons, the hood, rear ambulance doors, etc. were removed from the tub when painted, as well as all
glass was removed. Re-assembly included stainless steel hardware. Mechanical upgrades include new battery, many
engine gaskets, belts, hoses, new starter, new alternator, new braking system, re-built factory power steering
system, new PS pump, complete new cooling system (including water pump, hoses, & heavy duty diesel radiator) the
fuel system (including removing tank to inspect and clean, new fuel pump & lines where applicable, re-built factory
original carburetor, etc). Drivetrain upgrades include WARN locking hubs, 4” suspension lift with all new leaf
springs & Biltein 5100 shock absorbers. The FJ40 has been re-geared to 4:88 with new ring and pinions and master
install kits, both axles have been completely gone through including front knuckle ball re-builds. The truck also
features stainless braided brake lines & all new power brake system front and rear. Other upgrades included new
U-joints in both drive shafts, all new suspension bushings, all new steering components, and all new fluids
throughout. In addition, this is a rare factory equipped power steering model, and the factory box has been
remanufactured The FJ40 is fitted with 17” ATX Slot simulated bead lock alloy wheels in satin black and Goodyear
Wrangler MT/R + Kevlar tires in a 35x12.50 R17 size. The axles have 1.5” wheel spacers to widen the track width
and make the stance look great Interior was kept very authentic and original where possible. Interior upgrades
include new door panels and hardware, reclining Mastercraft Baja seats, Tuffy center console with stereo
provisions, new shoulder belts, bed liner floors, & Weather Tech rubber Floor Liners. In addition the hard top was
fitted with a new headliner. Body upgrades include sheet metal repairs and replacement on the back ˝ of the tub as
well as the back of the frame. New Factory Toyota lighting and emblems were used. New mirrors & Truck Light LED
headlights with high low beams were installed. PIAA multi-function front off road lighting is mounted to an ARB
front winch bumper (no winch yet, but will accommodate a WARN 8274). Many parts on this build are the beset
condition original Toyota parts we could find and the time. This is a very nicely restored and modified FJ40 that
is ready to drive. Truck has a current Virginia safety inspection, and is road worthy. The truck had a professional
front end alignment upon completion, This truck stops, steers, and drives great. A clear Virginia Title and
matching Factory VIN number on body and on frame. Receipts are available for all work performed with details for
the new owner. I am sure I am leaving some details of this restoration out, there has been so much work done to
this truck. As with any old car, there is certainly more that can or could have been done. I have taken this FJ40
as far as I am willing to go and now it is your turn to take the keys and make it yours.

US-built Corollas will soon be exported to Latin America, Caribbean
Sun, 29 Sep 2013Toyota has announced plans to export the American-made Corolla south, to 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2014. The move follows statements made to The Wall Street Journal by Toyota's South American leader, Steve St. Angelo, that spoke to Toyota's resolve in emerging American markets.
Toyota is expected to begin export production in April, with initial production of 7,500 Corollas in the first year, courtesy of its Tupelo, Mississippi assembly plant. Years of unpredictable swings in the value of the Japanese yen has seen Toyota push its manufacturing operations in other countries, particularly the US, where its builds ten different models.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut
Mon, 20 May 2013Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
