This is a very cool 1970 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40. This thing sat out in front of my shop all summer, and at least 4 times I looked out to find people sitting in it to have their picture taken in it. As you can see in the youtube video, the doors and roof come off (they are off now) and there is also a basic canvas top for it too. I'm not sure if the motor is original or not... it probably is, but if it matter to you, let me know where to look for the "numbers matching motor" (ignore the video where Jack says it is a numbers matching motor). There is a dash plate that shows the shift pattern of the 3 speed transmission. This FJ does NOT have a 3 speed transmission. There is a 4 speed transmission in there. As you can see, it also has a HUGE roll bar to keep you safe! Some guys bought this FJ off of ebay some time ago to put on their mini golf course in OC MD. They had it shipped from California. They couldn't figure out how to fit it on the course, so they sold it to my buddy Jack. He then paid to get it running, all of the lights and horn working, and had a paint job splashed on. I say splashed on because although it looks good from a distance, up close you can see body work, a not so great paint job and lots of runs in the paint. The big fat tires on this are ready for the beach. The motor fires up every time (unless you don't flip the switch to ON like Jack did in the video :) ). It has push button start. It goes good and stops good, but with those fat tires, the steering is a bit hairy (it may need some steering box work). There is surface rust underneath (maybe I will have time to take some pics this week). I don't think the guages work. All in all this is a very unique vehicle with lots of potential for restoring, or use it as is and head to the beach. I have a clear California title. Here is craaazzzy Jack in a youtube video with the FJ....

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
