The last of a great breed, and one of the last 40-series
production units: this is my 1984 Australian FJ45 Troopy, VIN FJ45406186. Built
front to rear for expeditioning plus lots of goodness like a rebuilt engine, air conditioning,
power steering, upgraded alternator, new tires, full floater
axle and more. There are dozens of cool and new parts on the Troopy. I am detail oriented, so crack a beverage,
sit down, and read the full description. Built with input from 4WD Toyota Owner magazine, a publication solely for 4WD Toyota and Land Cruiser owners. Check them out online. 1984 model. Literally one of the final 40-series Land Cruisers to come off the production line, and in the extremely rare FJ45 Troop Carrier (Troopy) configuration. Super rare and super cool. Powerful 4.2L 2F engine, rebuilt less than 20,000 miles ago by HM Gem Australia. Runs great. Factory 12V system. The 2F means parts are readily available from US Toyota dealers and aftermarket companies. Has brand new spark plugs and wires, PS/alternator/water pump belts, clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder, installed by Torfab. New water pump, new fuel pump, new fuel filters (2) and new OME steering stabilizer. Brand new spare radiator/ water hoses included. 4-speed H41 transmission with factory granny low range gear. This FJ45 will climb a tree. Literally. The FJ45 runs on petrol or propane (LPG). I have run it on both. It is set to run petrol only currently. The Troopy has two, 40lb (9.4 gallon) propane tanks. A dash switch changes between petrol or propane. You can switch from one to the other on the fly. Propane burns cleanly, is cheap, and yes, the filler fitting works in the USA. Mileage on propane is around 230 miles total with both tanks filled. Factor in the main petrol fuel tank and you’ve got around a 500 mile total range! Dash gauge shows level of propane, too, plus there’s a gauge on the main tank too. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. Supremely rare! Compressor spins good, needs belt and re-gas. Factory power steering with rebuilt pump. Works great! Dual battery system. Backup battery is charged by the solar panel on roof (see pics) when engine is off. Brand new main battery from Costco. Upgraded to 150A alternator. Fully tinted windows. Proper large rear view mirrors. Note the original floor mat is in excellent condition. There's an external jump start Anderson plug at right rear corner, and cables are included. Flood and pencil beam spotlights on roof that work with high beams. Brand new 33” Goodyear Duratracs, including spare, on 16” wheels. Factory rear full floater axle (Aussie spec, USA only got semi-floaters). Front disc brakes, rear drums. All new front hardware upgraded to 4Runner units (bigger and better) by Torfab. Parking brake also fully rebuilt by Torfab. She’s a solid old girl, has various patches and bubbles of rust inside and out but no rot, and frame is fine. Overfill of fuel caused paint to flake below inlet. One tie rod end needs replacing. Blue Max shocks and springs, 2.5" lift. POP TOP ROOF TENT! Love this! No harsh wind resistance and not top-heavy like a normal rack mounted rooftop tent. Unlatch the latches, push it up and there is an upper floor with 4” foam mattress for comfortable sleeping for two! Canvas sides with screen windows that zip up. So awesome to not have to set up and tear down a ground tent! Interior/exterior: where to start? Full battery monitoring equipment, rear view camera (I’m keeping the viewscreen but camera stays), rear seats with seat belts, two 20-gallon water cans with powered pump and two outlets, one inlet is missing and common RV-style filter housing needs replaced, hot water shower outlet, fold down table with room for sink, mirror and light on side, 12V outlets, Kenwood stereo with iPod cable but won't turn on, trailer brake controller, heavy duty top-of-the-line voltage monitoring units and power inverter (see pics), interior LED lights, passenger map light on flexible stalk, upper storage shelf at windshield roofline, UHF radio, multiple cubby storage boxes and more. Rare factory digital clock and hand throttle. Large 65-quart capable sliding aluminum freezer/fridge platform comes with Troopy. (Note: EvaKool fridge seen in pics not included with sale, sorry.) You can fly in to Seatac, the Kitsap Airporter will take you direct to Gig Harbor and I will pick you up in the Troopy. Also happy to deliver to Tacoma area. I just got back from an expedition to SE Oregon in her, see pics. Truck is 30 years old, she's not perfect, needs attention here and there--it's a Land Cruiser! ‘Nuff said! Vehicle is sold “as is” with no expressed or implied warranties. Payment via cash or cashier’s check only drawn on a major bank. Clear Washington state title, will release on clearing of valid cashier's check or immediately with cash. I am a Cruiserhead with a small barn of Cruisers, and I’ve sold a few in the last year, see my 100% positive feedback for the HJ61, FJ45, HJ47 etc. Please feel free to ask questions and yes I welcome test drives and mechanic checkouts (you arrange for and pay for). Thank you and happy bidding for a rare and awesome FJ45! |

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo
Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

Toyota, Mazda form electric car technology venture
Thu, Sep 28 2017TOKYO — Toyota has established a new venture to develop electric vehicle technology with partner Mazda, seeking to catch up with rivals in an increasingly frenetic race to produce more battery-powered cars. Policymakers in key markets like China are pushing a shift to electric cars over the next two to three decades, while relatively new rival Tesla is gaining momentum and diesel cars are going through the fallout of the Volkswagen diesel scandal, pressuring traditional automakers to crank up plans for fully electric vehicles (EVs). At the same time, declining battery costs are enabling more power to be packed into cars, making an electric car future easier to imagine. Toyota said in a statement the new company will develop technology for a range of electric cars, including mini vehicles, passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. Toyota will take a 90 percent stake in the joint venture, called EV Common Architecture Spirit Co Ltd, while Mazda and Denso Corp, Toyota's biggest supplier, will each take 5 percent. The plans build on a partnership announced in August when Japan's biggest automaker agreed to take a 5 percent stake in Mazda and two said they would jointly develop affordable electric vehicle technologies. Although Toyota is providing most of the financial firepower and existing EV know-how, Mazda's engineers have gained the admiration of the industry with breakthrough technologies such as its compression ignition engine announced last month. Shares in Mazda surged to end the day 3 percent higher, while those in Denso rose 1.8 percent. Toyota shares were flat. Both automakers are somewhat behind rivals, with neither having a fully electric passenger car on the market yet. After years of focusing on bringing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to the market, Toyota last year set up a division to develop electric cars which is led by President Akio Toyoda, and said it plans to introduce EVs in China in the coming years. Toyota has also announced it will bring a game-changing solid-state EV battery to market by 2022. That division would continue as a separate entity from the new joint venture, a Toyota spokeswoman said, while adding that the two teams would co-operate on technology development. Mazda has an R&D budget a fraction of Toyota's, which has made it difficult to develop electric cars on its own. Even so, it has said it plans to launch EVs in 2020.
What to do if the infotainment in your Lexus isn't working
Wed, Jun 8 2016According to Toyota, "errant data from our traffic and weather data service provider" caused the infotainment systems in 2014-2016 Lexus vehicles and the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser to go into some sort of endless reboot loop. The video above shows what that looks like, in case you're interested. Obviously, it's not good – the malfunction means the audio systems, navigation and climate control systems aren't working properly, and that the hands-free mobile phone function won't work. Apparently, some owners were able to manually fix their cars by disconnecting the battery cables for 10 minutes, which forces the car's computer systems to restart. But Toyota isn't officially suggesting that people take that action. Instead, "Toyota and Lexus owners experiencing these issues should visit their dealer for a complimentary system reset and a confirmation of the system," the automaker said in a statement. It's worth noting that issues with the usability of modern infotainment systems have caused customer satisfaction scores to drop. Lexus, though, has been mostly immune to such complaints, having come in first place in J.D. Power's most recent Vehicle Dependability study. Not that you should automatically trust those findings, anyway... Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
