Fj40 Toyota on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:99999 Color: badges are missing

Eden, Utah, United States

1974 Toyota FJ40.  This FJ40 runs very good. It has the original engine that runs smoothly, with no unusual exhaust smoke, or unusual sounds.  The transmission shifts smoothly and all of the gears work as they should.  The brakes work properly, and the tires are in very good condition.  You can fly into Salt Lake City and drive this FJ40 anywhere.  Please look closely at all of the photos.  I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are buying.  The reserve is low and I have a clear Utah title. In addition, there are most of the parts for a PTO (Power Take Off). This FJ40 can be used as it stands, but it is not a show quality vehicle.  It would not take a lot to restore it. If you want a show quality FJ40, this is a good place to start.

I want the FJ40 to be fully and completely described. With this in mind, I will go over all of the problem areas in detail. 1. There is old bondo in the rear fenders and in the rockers.  Again, please look closely at the photos. I have taken photos of the floors from underneath and from inside. The back floor looks like new and all of the floors are dry and rust free. 2. The interior has splits in the seats, and one of the rear jump seats are missing. In addition, the dash pad is missing. 3. The top has an aftermarket sun roof. It works as it was designed, but is not original to the FJ40. 4. Some of the exterior badges are missing.  These badges are available on Ebay and in aftermarket catalogs, but they are expensive. 5. In the lower part of the windshield, there is an aftermarket piece of chrome trim covering an old vent.

If you have any questions, please give me a call.  My phone number is (801) 745-5835.  I'm not a dealer, and I will gladly outline the condition of the FJ40.  A $500. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements are made before the close of the auction.  If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please email or call me before bidding.  I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. Good luck bidding.

Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.

Expedition drives from Russia to Canada over North Pole...

Tue, 21 May 2013

No, a Ford Expedition did not drive from Russia to Canada via the North Pole, but that's exactly what a team of intrepid explorers accomplished recently. Using specially-modified buses with massive tires, the group slowly drove 2,485 miles in 70 days over drifting ice, occasionally using a pickaxe to clear a path and staying on guard for chasms that could open up and plunge the team into the frigid arctic waters. Average speeds were about 6 mph, "at the speed of a (farm) tractor." While the big tires technically allowed the buses to float if the need arose, the team preferred to stay out of the water to keep the suspension from getting coated in thick, hard ice. Falling in on foot would mean almost certain death.
According to Phys.org, the buses were powered by Toyota diesel engines, but were built with prototype parts from a previous driving expedition to the North Pole. Right now, the machines are parked in a garage in Canada's Resolute Bay while the the team rests up with family back home. They plan to continue their trek to back across the Bering Straight to Russia. If successful, the team may eventually offer a version of their buses for commercial sale.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
