" **** Awesome 1986 FJ 60 ***** Here is your chance to own an amazing Cruiser with a really cool history. This Cruiser was purchased by a retired Toyota manager along with 19 other FJ-60's and taken to Costa Rica where it was completely restored 5 years ago. 18 of the Cruisers were sold to folks living there, as they are an ideal vehicle for the place. This particular FJ was one of his 2 personal Cruisers (one for him and one for his wife) and was used regularly in Costa Rica for about year after being finished. Once a week, he would pick up the local veterinarian, and take him out through the country to service those that did not come to town. When they decided to move back home to Oregon, they were not ready to part with their personal FJ's, so they shipped them both back. For the past 3 years, they had been sitting side by side in his garage, only being driven on rare occasion. We went to look at one for sale, and ended up buying both of them as a package deal (My wife thought this one would be her daily driver, but she found out that she doesn't like driving a standard transmission in town every day. Deciding we really don't need two toy's, we have decided to part with this one before we too, become overly attached. As you will see from the photo's, the FJ is in fantastic condition both inside and out. As the restoration was done over the course of restoring several others, he didn't bother keeping detailed documents, but as mentioned, this was his personal FJ, so he didn't spare any expense on it. He did tell me that even buying parts for the projects in bulk, he figures he invested nearly 30k into the project. Top end of engine, and drivetrain were re-built, all springs and shocks were replaced with new, all body panels were taken apart, painted and put back together, interior was re-done with carpet, custom rubber mat in the back for cargo, and new Kenwood CD player with IPOD connection in glove box. All the chrome emblems, grill, lights, etc. were replaced. All window regulators were replaced and properly lubricated so the windows work great. Custom rear sliding windows were added. Custom tow hitch and wiring for trailer was installed. Custom ultra wheels and 33x12x15 BFG mud terrain tires were installed, and are still like brand new. Custom roof rack, and an ARB bull bumper with Warn 8000 LB winch was installed. The A/C system was converted to R-134A and we just had it re-freshed so it blows Ice Cold. All in all this is an amazing Cruiser that gets tons of looks and compliments. It looks beautiful from any distance, and would look great in any exhibition. It rides and drives great at 5 mph, or at 65 mph out on the hi-way. Everything works as it should and it is ready to be your every day driver, or your weekend warrior. I believe that someone is going to get a fantastic deal on this Cruiser. We are setting our reserve price at less than half of what has been invested just so we can use the money for our other project, a custom 1983 convertible FJ 60. " |

Recharge Wrap-up: Model X pinch sensor update, Karma plans first store
Fri, Aug 26 2016Tesla has improved Model X pinch sensor function in its latest over-the-air update. As we've seen, the pinch sensors already stop the falcon wing doors from completely shutting when they sense an obstruction. Now, though, the doors retract slightly after the sensors are triggered. While the pre-update doors didn't appear to do as much damage to human fingers as they do to various foodstuffs, it definitely looked uncomfortable, especially when one's hand is stuck in the partially closed door. Now, any pinch that does occur should be brief. See the updated sensors at work in the video above, and read more from Teslarati. Karma Automotive will move to Kawasaki's former headquarters in Irvine, California where it will also open its first store. The revival of the now defunct Fisker will sell its Revero plug-in hybrid through both dealerships and company-owned stores like the one planned for its new two-building campus. The property owner, Bixby, had planned to renovate the site, but now says Karma will make its own improvements. Bixby said it was seeking, "a progressive-minded tenant that would value the unique configuration," and appears to have found just that in Karma. Read more at Electrek, or from the OC Register. San Francisco is asking residents for help in expanding its subways. Using an online tool called Subway Vision, users can draw their own subway lines and stations that they'd like to see built and submit them to planners. Listening to the public is a useful tool for the city because, as Grahm Satterwhite, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's principal planner, admits, "Transportation planners may be too close to a problem to see the solution." This approach allows the subway expansions to "reflect the vision of not just a few transportation planners, but of all San Franciscans," he says. Read more from FastCo.Exist. Toyota is continuing its commitment to Yellowstone National Park with a sustainable Youth Campus for environmental education. The automaker donated $1 million to Yellowstone for the facility, which is seeking Living Building Challenge certification. It will have onsite wastewater treatment for its locally sourced water usage, and will generate all of its electricity needs from photovoltaic panels, with excess to put back into the grid. The campus will have classrooms and residences for students and staff for its youth programs.
Recharge Wrap-up: Automakers talk connected cars, Toyota's CNG hauler
Tue, Nov 24 2015Tesla, Toyota and General Motors addressed the House Subcommittee on Information Technology about the security and benefits of "The Internet of Cars." Tesla put forth four suggested security principles for the security of connected cars. Those include standard cryptography ("signing") used by automakers, measures to prohibit direct connection over the internet, isolation of a car's networked systems from its mechanical systems and standard encrypted communications protocols. Tesla VP of Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell also urged against "overly restrictive regulation." O'Connell says, "Regulation at a time of rapid innovation runs the risk of limiting the realization of the full extent of safety advances." See the hearing in the video above, and read more at Teslarati. Details over the rollout of new DC fast chargers by NRG eVgo and BMW leave some i3 owners disappointed. The partners will add 500 fast-charging sites to the eVgo network in 25 cities by the end of 2015. The "Fast Combo" chargers will be available to use for free for BMW i3 customers for 24 months. The free charging only applies to new buyers, though, leaving behind some 15,000 current i3 owners. Still, many EV drivers – not just BMW owners – will benefit from the ability to charge quickly in more places. Read more at Green Car Reports. Toyota has announced its first CNG car hauler.
