Remarkable Low Miles Original
Contact me at (515) 864-1275 After Land Cruiser - What was Far became Near. SURVIVOR ALERT!
A vehicle is only original once. Anyone can write a check to restore something but it’s never quite the same. There are those of us that place the greatest value on largely untouched classics. If you are one of these people, you will appreciate this remarkable Freeborn Red 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 51,200 Kilometers (<32,000) original miles. There are a few things I could have painted, touched up or attempted to refurbish but I did not. What you see here is an original Land Cruiser FJ40 that has seen very little use over the las 34 years.
I call this truck "Colombian Soul" as this Land Cruiser FJ40 was originally from Colombia. She's a remarkable "preservation class" FJ40! You can see every spot weld on this truck and she has all the glory of a rust free survivor, She looks, drives and runs like you would expect from a vehicle with 32,000 miles, pull the choke, turn the key and she bursts to life every time.
She’s not restored, not repainted, not rebuilt. She’s ORIGINAL AND WELL PRESERVED! Here's your chance to own this epic original 1980 Land Cruiser FJ40 that retains her original paint, interior, engine, and drive train. She’s obviously been cared for with devoted attention and nothing has been done to impact the originality other than some great upgrades along the way. Her original paint is in beautiful condition. This is great Land Cruiser, rust free un-restored and pure understated COOL. Just turn the key and the fun begins!

Details & Condition
The floors are all solid and shine with factory paint and the original sound and heat barrier applied by Toyota. The interior is excellent and EVERYTHING works, as it should. The radio is vintage and I assume was installed by the dealer. The A/C blows cold and heater works well, turn signals, hazards, headlight high and low beams, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, odometer, speedometer, fuel, oil, amp and temp gauges all functioning flawlessly. The original upholstery has one tear on the drivers side bolster (pictured) but is otherwise excellent. There are speakers installed in the hard top but they are not connect to an audio source. The working radio speaker is under the front seat.
The truck has 3.70 gears and the H41 transmission with "Granny Low". This FJ40’s suspension, which consists of rugged solid axles and OEM leaf springs at both ends, has a raised stance with 33x7.50 tires. At the back of the truck's frame you will find the factory rear step, flanked by the original bumpettes to assist your passengers who want to climb in back. The MPR hard top has one big swing out door rather than ambulance doors. This provides improved visibility in the rear view mirror. Under it all you will find OEM 16 inch steel gray split rims and hubcaps with AVM locking hubs surrounded by 10 ply General LT 33x7.50 tires that have plenty of life left in them. Hanging on the swing out rear tire carrier is the matching spare tire.
Mileage and Use
All in all, everything is in unbelievable original condition. STUDY THE PHOTOS and WATCH THE VIDEO. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 7 business days please. FJ40’s like this are rare, hard to come by and continue to appreciate if well cared for. I encourage you to call me at (515) 864 1275 and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this Auction early, (which is usually what happens). If you know FJ40’s, you know what your looking at and just how few there are like this left. This is an “Investment Grade” Land Cruiser FJ40. 200 Photographs

Toyota and Lexus recall models for inadvertent airbag deployment
Thu, Feb 4 2016The Basics: Toyota will recall 320,000 examples in the US of the 2003-2006 Land Cruiser, 2004-2006 4Runner, 2005-2006 Tundra and Sequoia, 2003-2006 Lexus LX470, and 2004-2006 GX470. The Problem: The curtain shield airbags that come down from the roof can inadvertently deploy shortly after vehicle startup. This is due to improper programming of the airbag control module. Injuries/Deaths: "Toyota is not aware of any crashes caused by the condition. We have received reports alleging injuries such as abrasions and ringing in ears," company spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog. The Fix: Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the airbag control module with a new part, which will have improved programming. If You Own One: Toyota and Lexus will notify affected owners by mail early this month. Related Video: Toyota and Lexus Recall Certain Land Cruiser, 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, LX, and GX Vehicles February 02, 2016 TORRANCE, Calif., February 2, 2016 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 320,000 Model Year 2003-2006 Land Cruiser; 2004-2006 4Runner; 2005-2006 Tundra and Sequoia; 2003-2006 LX 470; and 2004-2006 GX 470 vehicles. The involved vehicles are equipped with side Curtain-Shield-Airbags (CSAs) which deploy from the roof in the event of certain types of crashes. Due to improper programming in the airbag control modules, there is a possibility that, under certain specific and limited conditions shortly after startup, the CSAs and seat belt pretensioners could activate when not necessary. Unexpected activation of the CSAs could increase the risk of injury to the occupant. All known owners of the involved vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the airbag control module with one which has an improved programming at no cost to owners. Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date Safety Recall information on Lexus, Toyota and Scion customers should check their vehicle's status by visiting http://www.toyota.com/recall and entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Safety Recall inquiry by individual VIN is also available at the NHTSA site: safercar.gov/vin. For any additional questions, customer support is also available by calling Toyota Customer Service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus Customer Service at 1-800-255-3987.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.
