1973 Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Fresno, California, United States
Runs and drives excellent, has been a daily driver, kept in garage when not driven. I have had most of it restored
over the last 5 years, however due to recent layoff I am forced to sell our fun truck. Starts on first turn of the
key, has many upgrades; power disc brakes, power steering, V8 powertrain conversion, and more below.
Includes original steel doors which are in excellent condition - were restored with all new rubber, they look new.
Also included are the original rear seats in good condition, a new bikini top, a rubber cargo area mat, and the
original steel hard top (which was not restored). Please see details below.
Powertrain: professional powertrain conversion done in the early 90’s. Chevy 350 engine with low miles, TH350 (GM)
Automatic Transmission - shifts smooth and was recently serviced, Mild shift kit, New Process (GM) 205 Transfer
Case. Edelbrock Manifold with Holley 4 bbl Warrior Carburetor. Truck runs excellent and sounds great. Unlike a
stock FJ40, this truck has power and motors easily over hills and mountains, runs great on freeway or on the
trails.
Brakes: Power brakes, front brakes were converted to disc brakes. Serviced a few years ago, pads/disc all in good
condition.
Suspension: 31 Yokohama tires are a couple years old, a lot of tread and life on them. Original rims. 2”
Ironman leaf springs in front, original leaf springs in back. Rides nice however before I was laid off I bought
the matching rear 2” Ironman leaf springs for rear, and can be included if new owner wants to have them
installed.
Body: Several years ago I had it repainted the original color Rustic Green. Shop did a decent job. Had all
rubber replaced. Also had some common rust spots fixed. Its not perfect, but looks great and gets compliments
everywhere we go.
Doors: Doors go on easily, slide over the hinges and then drop the hinge pin in. As the rest of the truck, the
doors were sanded down, prepped, repainted original color, and have new rubber.
Original Top: The top is included and in decent condition,
The ceiling on all FJ40’s is fiberglass,
Rear Seats: Also included are the original rear ambulance seats. They were not restored however in good
condition.
Interior: Original front seats in good condition, I keep covers on them. Instruments all work, has stock A/C and
compressor, however is not hooked up or working. Stock roll bar.
Fuel tank and fuel lines recently replaced. Setup for dual tanks however the rear tank was removed by previous
owner, front tank is new.
Stereo: Original Toyota radio is in the dash, and a custom stereo console was made for a more up to date deck with
blue tooth, USB, remote, etc.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma mule caught towing in the desert
Wed, 13 Aug 2014With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon set to arrive in dealers in the near future, it's high time Toyota got to work on a replacement for the Tacoma, a vehicle whose present generation debuted in the middle of the Bush Administration. Now, we have images of that new pickup undergoing testing.
Our spy photographers picked up this heavily modified mule undergoing tow tests in the desert. It rides on a modified version of the current Taco's frame, as evidenced by shots of its undercarriage, although our spies cite the lack of riveted sections as indications that the current truck's footprint should remain unchanged.
Aside from underbody changes, this particular Tacoma featured a six-speed manual transmission, which we're expecting to be joined by a six-speed automatic. The current four- and five-speed autos found on the current truck will almost certainly be killed off. Marching to the grave with those slushboxes will be the two-door Regular Cab body style. Our spies are expecting Toyota to focus its efforts on the larger, more accessible Double Cab.
Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns
Sat, 03 May 2014One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.
