1971 FJ40 .
The previous owner told me this FJ40 had been cosmetically restored 3 or 4 years ago. It is a super clean daily driver. It appears to have new door weather stripping, headliner, deluxe carpet, emblems, hub caps and other misc items.
Overall, this FJ40 remains very original. The interior is in amazing condition for a 43 year old vehicle. The interior paint is all original and the entire dash, visors and gauges are all original and still in nice condition. All the gauges work properly. The wipers and lights work fine.
The upholstery is a heavy duty Navy Blue vinyl and in great condition. The seat backs and frames are original. The headliner and floors have been treated to a dense automotive carpet, which I hated at first, but getting kind of used to now.
The vehicle has 79,082 original (box A) miles. The title VIN numbers (FJ4091677) match the frame numbers, as well as the body tag numbers, which is still in the driver door jamb. Even the engine block numbers match the truck. "In the future, let's see which FJ's are more sought after. All numbers matching examples, or FJ's modded with LS5 V8's, billet pulleys and racing seats.... ? "
The body is straight, solid and shows well. There are no signs of accidents, and all the doors and hood close squarely. The windows roll up and down nicely and the rear fender wells have never been cut.
The truck is very solid, and travels quietly down the road with no squeaks or rattles.
As you can see, ALL the original components in the engine bay are still in place. A big plus If you have plans to do a full restoration.
The engine sounds great and runs strong. The engine does not blow smoke ever and the truck has no oil leaks whatsoever. The engine even runs cool in the Arizona heat (117+). The brakes work fine and the clutch and tranny work well. The steering is fine around town but wants to wander a bit at full speed. Big tires??
The exterior has been repainted. It is not a "high-end" repaint, but still nice enough to show. There are no major drips, scratches or paint chips.
I did install a new lift kit, shocks and 5 new 33''x10.5" BFG Mud Terrains. The BFG's are ultra quiet on the road.
The body has had some rust issues in the past. These areas however, have been cut out and had new panels welded back in. The quality of work looks OK, and the repairs seems to be holding fine. (Please see the pictures of the repairs on the driver floor and drivers step area.) That area on driver's side of the floor, is the only part of the entire floor that has been worked on. The flat panels above the driver's and passenger side step boards show signs of work, and the area below the tailgates have been worked on too. The old patchwork is there, but I don't feel have any effect on body strength whatsoever.
I feel this is a nice FJ40 for someone who actually wants to drive and enjoy their Land Cruiser. It is not an "over the top" Nut and Bolt restoration that you wouldn't dare take off road, but it is certainly nice enough to show off at your local car show. Drive it to work on Fridays, or pack it up and head out on weekend adventures. One thing is for sure...a clean, very original, matching number FJ40 will only gain in value.
I have a 100% positive eBay feedback rating. I have sold many classic cars, vintage boats and classic motorcycles all over the world and have not had one displeased customer. I am forthcoming about all my vehicles true conditions, positive and negative. I do ask you to read my listing carefully. Also, please call if you have any questions, prior to placing a bid, and if possible come out and view the vehicle in person. Please only bid if you intend to follow through with the purchase. Thank you!

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update
Wed, 12 Feb 2014Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.

Tesla pulling plug on Toyota RAV4 EV battery deal
Mon, 12 May 2014The future of the Toyota RAV4 EV appears to be in doubt. Tesla supplies the EVs battery packs, and it says that production ends later this year.
"Toyota is expected to end the current RAV4 EV model this year," Tesla said in its quarterly financial filing obtained by Bloomberg. "Our production activities under this program are expected to end in 2014," the company said.
This timeline fits closely with the original production plans for the RAV4 EV. When the $100-million project was first announced, Tesla said that it expected to supply battery packs for the vehicle from 2012 to 2014. Building components for the Japanese automaker continues to bring in money, though. In the company's Q1 2014 letter to shareholders, it said: "Automotive revenue included $15 million of Toyota powertrain sales." According to Bloomberg, Toyota has sold just 1,594 RAV4 EV models from 2012 through April 2014. Initially, the business had estimated that it would sell 2,600 units of the electrified crossover.
