This is an outstanding FJ40. I've entered it in a couple of local car shows and it has been first in it's class each time. One of the recurring comments is that it has 'gone through a time warp' The paint on the hood is faded from the sun and the tailgate doors show their age but are fully functional.Those are the only negatives. 

I've had this vehicle for 7 years and I continue to be impressed with how well preserved it is and how original it is. This is a tough, solid truck.

I've done a few things to it:

Headers installed 2 years ago. (They did help with fuel consumption). The carb was cleaned and new float installed.

Last summer, the water pump and the radiator were replaced. All the heater  and coolant hoses replaced at that time.

New front door weatherstripping .

The windshield and gasket were replaced last summer also.

I put the chrome wheels on  5 summers ago. I saved the original wheels and they are included in the sale.

 
The vehicle runs strong, shifts smooth. The clutch is strong. The hubs turn freely, the 4 wheel engages easily and works well.  The brakes are good. Doesn't use any oil between changes. It is a dependable daily driver if desired. 

The doors, the fenders, all the metal(even the tailgate area- a usual problem spot) are very clean. Even the bottom lip of the doors are clean. 

The interior is exceptional also. The original carpet is in great shape. The original seats are in great shape as well.

This FJ, with proper maintenance and care, could easily last another 30-40 years. 
The off road capability of FJ's is legendary. It also cruises on the freeway effortlessly and at more than adequate speed.
 
There's a sony disc player in the glovebox and a 10 disc changer under the seat. The dash was never cut up for a din mount stereo. So even the dash is unmolested.                         

This FJ was purchased new by the previous owner's father. He worked at a museum. He took excellent care of it as you might expect.

The reason I'm selling this is because I'm old and I no longer hunt or go camping. That is the reason I bought it. It's time for someone else to take it over and appreciate what it is truly capable of.

Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.

Toyota FCV Concept comes one step closer to reality

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

When Toyota first conceptualized a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle for mainstream Americans to drive, the initial response was pretty skeptical. Still, through relentless engineering and solid product after solid product, Toyota has built the Prius brand into the dominant force in the hybrid car market.
Something like that plan of attack is what the Japanese company is preparing for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well, and that attack is seeing a critical salvo fired today with the debut of this FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Though there's nothing substantive to be said about rumors of a 300-mile range or a sticker price around $50,000, the FCV concept does offer a few technical details. The sharp-beaked concept makes use of two high-pressure hydrogen tanks and boasts a power output density of three kilowatts per liter.

2014 Toyota 4Runner

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.
