1982 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, Black, Chevy 355, Auto Trans, Power Steering on 2040-cars
Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States
|
This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done. Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts. I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver. I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle. I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months. I did not drive it in the winter. This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle. If you have any questions, please ask. The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth. The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride. It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane. At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400. It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed. (new torque converter too) The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings. The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members. Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop. Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well. New: Engine/Trans Brake master cylinder New Saginaw steering gear retrofit Anti-Wrap / Traction Bar installed to protect pinion in High torque situations Fuel tank (poly) and sending unit New Cooper ST 33x12.5x15 tires (full size spare included) *May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones. *Pre purchase inspection and local pickup can be arranged. Buyer has full responsibility for setting up shipping and all expenses. Other arrangements can be discussed. $300 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hrs after auction ends. Balance due within 7 days of auction ending. Vehicle will not be released until all funds have been deposited and cleared by my bank. Clear and clean Michigan Title is available. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding. FJ is for sale locally as well. Thanks for looking. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles
Fri, Dec 1 2023It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take: The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score: 7 What it competes with: Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons: Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder — "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender  2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take: The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mirai earns Toyota "Most Innovative" honor, Tesla cold-weather range
Tue, Feb 10 2015A Tesla driver has graphed the effect of cold weather on the driving range of his Model S. Rob at Teslarati kept track of the amount of miles driven and energy used and mapped that against temperature readings to find how the colder temperatures affect efficiency. The results were an average of 10 miles of range lost for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Also, he calculated that drivers will lose about 25 percent more range when the roads are slippery.

AEC produces composites for the aerospace industry, and having proven themselves in that field, they show promise for helping automakers make their cars lighter and more efficient without sacrificing structural integrity. "The agreement announced today is excellent news for our global automotive customers as we work to find further weight reductions in vehicles to meet future CO2 reductions," says Ricardo CEO Mark Garrett. With carbon composite prices expected to drop, Garrett believes this is an "attractive solution" for structural components. Read more at Ricardo's website. Toyota Motor Europe (TME) wants to recover all of its hybrid batteries for remanufacturing. TME currently recovers 91 percent of Toyota and Lexus batteries at the end of the vehicles' lives through dealerships, and is now working with independent end-of-life vehicle treatment operators to recover the rest. Beyond just being recycled, Toyota is looking into remanufacturing batteries for other vehicles or for stationary energy storage systems. Read more in the press release below. Fast Company Magazine has recognized Toyota as one of the 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2015 for its Mirai fuel cell sedan. "Toyota plans to do for fuel cells what its Prius did for hybrids: make them ubiquitous and top of mind for environmentally conscious consumers," says Fast Company. The article also notes that Toyota has also made its fuel cell patent public and invested in hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Toyota is ranked number 18 in the Most Innovative list, just below Tesla.
