 This is either a great truck to do a little bit of work on and immediately take out and bang up on the trail or a start of a project! I bought it a few months ago so I could take the original F type motor, the heater parts and a few other parts put in a 73 FJ 40 I have that has a 350 in it. As is often the case, I have bitten off too much and I don't have time or energy to to go through with it. I'm in the middle of bringing a 72 FJ 55 back to life so something has to go. That is why I am selling this truck.

So...here is what you get that is good:

  • Strong & solid running F type motor, choke works, starts a bit rough but give it a simple tune up and it would start right up. I took the air cleaner assembly off but it does come with the truck. Properly functioning transfer case & transmission. 2 WD High/4 WD High & Low all work. The clutch is working but needs adjusting or eventually replaced. Motor, trans & transfer can go for $1,500 plus
  • Working breaks with new master cylinder, newer wheel cylinders in back and a couple new break lines. I just was trying to get the breaks working which I did so didn't do anything to drums or shoes.
  • Front & rear heater
  • Ok top. Some rust on back left and top has one spot that needs a little fiber glass repair. No headliner. Glass is all good and the back swing up window is in good shape and works. Tops alone can bring $400 to $900+.
  • Good doors with no rust, good glass, right vent glass hinge is broken but an easy fix. Registers are stiff but a little work and they would be fine. Doors go for $175 to $275 easily.
  • Good windshield glass no wiper motor.
  • Dash is cracked but not ridiculous, most of knobs are intact and I have the glove box door and ash tray.
  • Seats are way above average but could use some work and are extremely solid as a base for refurbishing. No head rests
  • Roll bar & seat belt

Here is what you get that isn't good:

  • Rust! It looks like this truck lived in northern Michigan and spent plenty of time in Canada so you can imagine. There is a rust through spot on the frame but everything considered not too bad and is pretty straight forward fix.
  • needs taillights and front marker lights.
Bottom line is that there are a lot of good parts on this truck or you could use it as a start of a project or just have a solid trail rig...? I'm a Cruiser enthusiast so know what it is worth to the right person. I also don't want anyone to buy it without completely understanding what they are getting into. Please e-mail questions and I will answer ASAP. I need this truck gone. I will help with shipping and have a couple reliable companies I have worked with.

Thanks Kevin

Toyota, Suzuki partner on hybrids, EVs, building cars for each other

Wed, Mar 20 2019

NAGOYA, Japan — Toyota and Suzuki on Wednesday said they planned to produce electric vehicles and compact cars for each other to better compete with fast-changing technologies in the global auto industry. The agreement follows an initial R&D tie-up announced by Japan's No. 1 and No. 4 automakers in 2017, and will see more vehicles produced by Suzuki for Toyota, one of the world's biggest carmakers. Although Suzuki is far smaller, it is a dominant force in the fast-growing Indian market. The two automakers have been pooling their strengths. Toyota is a leader in hybrid technology and is investing heavily in automated driving, while Suzuki specializes in affordable compact cars — as many automakers struggle to keep pace with ballooning investment in EVs and self-driving cars. Under the latest agreement, Suzuki will source gasoline hybrid systems for cars it sells worldwide from Toyota, which pioneered hybrid vehicles with the Prius more than 20 years ago, the companies said in a joint statement. In return, Suzuki will produce two compact models for Toyota in India based on its Ciaz and Ertiga models. Further cooperation with Suzuki will help Toyota expand its presence in India, the world's fifth-largest passenger car market where it has struggled to grow sales due to lean demand for its lower-cost models. The deepening partnership between the two automakers will enable cost-conscious Suzuki to tap into Toyota's R&D firepower to develop lower-emission vehicles and self-driving cars — areas which Suzuki has admitted it is struggling to keep up. "We believe that the expansion of our business partnership with Suzuki ... will help give us the competitive edge we will need to survive this once-in-a-century period of profound transformation," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in a statement. The two automakers will deepen their cooperation in India, where Suzuki's hybrid vehicles will be made using engines and batteries locally produced by Toyota. They will also join forces in Europe, where Toyota will produce electric vehicles based on its RAV4 SUV crossover and Corolla wagon for Suzuki, while Suzuki will supply Toyota with gasoline engines for compact vehicle models sold in the region. Suzuki will also produce its Baleno, Vitara Brezza, Ciaz, and Ertiga models for Toyota which will be rebranded and renamed as Toyota models for the African market.

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.

Toyota investing $30 million in Indiana for more Highlander production

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Indiana seems like the place to be if you're looking for work in a car factory. In May, Subaru announced plans to invest $400 million in its Lafayette, Indiana plant, creating 900 new jobs in the process and increasing capacity to 300,000 units per year. Now, Toyota has announced plans to invest $30 million in its Princeton, Indiana plant, 170 miles south of the Subaru factory, which also builds the Camry.
Toyota's investment will create an additional 200 jobs and increase the factory's volume by 15,000 units. Toyota announced an investment in the plant in February of 2012 that bumped volume up from 300,000 to 350,000 units. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, as the Princeton facility is officially known, produces the recently revised Toyota Highlander, the Sequoia and the Sienna. It employs 4,500 people, and this announcement represents Toyota's tenth production increase in under two years.
