This is a good mostly original 81 FJ40 with 55000 actual miles. About 1200 of the early miles were when it was towed behind a motor home. It was originally Texas bought and owned. A commercial pilot bought it new, and towed it around for several years. My brother-in-law bought it to use on his farm down there, but drove it little as a ATF served his needs better. I bought it from him in the 1990's. I'd have to dig out the title to find out for sure.it spend the summer months at my cabin in the mountains, and at my friends ranch in the winter. It was never used but about 10 times in the winter. Many years it was driven about 300 miles per year driving it back and fourth, and sat unused for months at a time. When I bought it my brother-in-law gave me some parts too do away with the emission controls. This included an exhaust header. I put on all of what I was given and stored the original emission items as there was no emission checks at that time. Recently about 2 years ago they began emission testing in my area, and it would not pass the test. I had long since gotten rid of the original items. To get around this, it is licensed as a classic because it appears original, and it is driven seldom. The running gear is all stock, the top has never been taken off. The brakes are still factory original. The interior looks great, however, I had the driver's seat reupholstered recently. One winter when I took it close to my cabin in winter. I snowmobiled in. When I came back out 2 days later it was 27 below zero. When I got in to the Toyota, the seat was stiff and the upholstery on the seat cracked in several areas. Believe it or not but the Land Cruiser started up, and I drove it 120 miles home. It has never been wrecked, except for the damaged area on the left rear part of the front fender, and area under the right door as shown. The photo of the left front fender shows some heavy rust. 15 or so years ago, it has previously rusted in the same area. I took the fender off and had it sanded and repainted at a local body shop. Several years later it began rusting in the same places. Several years ago the rear cargo area floor mat got wet some how, and it wasn't moved for over a year. At that time, I took the mat out to sweep in out, and the floor underneath had a lot of rust. I took it and had it sandblasted, and it was sealed with an anti-rust compound. I painted over that 6 coats of tan paint. I am certain that it will not rust there again. Also the floor next to the driver's heel has some rust I just noticed, along was a few other small areas on the right rear door. I believe that I have posted photos of the bad spots. It isn't as nice as if it had been stored inside, but it is pretty much original except the winch, and working aftermarket air conditioner. It wouldn't hurt to put on a set of tires, and then it could be driven anywhere at highways speeds. It runs, and drives very well. Email for more information if needed, although I am slow to answer at times. I need $1000.00 non refundable within 5 days of auction close. You can come and drive it home, or you could have it trailered or shipped. It needs too be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close.

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.

How platform problems are delaying next-gen Prius
Tue, Jul 29 2014Short-term pain for longer-term gain? That may be the prognosis for the next-generation Toyota Prius, the world's best-selling hybrid. But, hey, the new version might get holiday season debut, now. Toyota is upgrading some of its most popular models and trying to cut long-term costs with components that can be used on multiple models on the new Toyota New Global Architecture platform, Automotive News says. That means more parts that can be used for the Camry, Avalon (not big stretch, since the Avalon is basically a rich man's Camry) and Corolla in addition to the Prius. The downside, of course, is that this takes a bit more engineering and certainly more time. In the case of the Prius, that means pushing back the start of production from next summer to December 2015. But Automotive News also says the Prius may have an all-wheel-drive option. Happy Holidays. The report is in update from Automotive News Europe, which cited folks familiar with the process who were not identified and said late last month that the production of the fourth-gen Prius would be pushed back by about six months as engineers continue to tweak the hybrid powertrain for maximum efficiency. The goal is around a 10 percent improvement in fuel-efficiency thanks to an upgraded powertrain and lower vehicle weight. Toyota spokeswoman Amanda Rice told AutoblogGreen in an email that the company doesn't comment on future products, so we'll just have to keep an eye out.
