1971 Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Plainfield, New Hampshire, United States
1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This is a truck built BY a Land Cruiser enthusiast FOR a Land
Cruiser enthusiast. As you read this description, you’ll note the details that make this the ultimate Land
Cruiser Junky’s truck!
This recently restored Land Cruiser started off as a 1971 US-SpecFJ40, but was converted to a BJ40 diesel during
the restoration. This is NOT a South American truck! The Land Cruiser went through a thorough frame-off,
nut-and-bolt, multi-year restoration and is ready for anything. It’s the perfect truck for taking to the
mountains, cruising along the beach, or just cruising to the local car show. The odometer reads 38471 miles
The truck received a Toyota LandCruiser 3B (approx. 150k km or 93k miles) from a Canadian spec Land Cruiser along
with an H55F 5-speed transmission, “split” transfer case, and 1981 BJ42rear axle with integrated parking brake.
The engine received all new gaskets and seals and was installed using quality BJ42 reproduction frame mounts with
new motor mounts. The transmission was installed using an OEM1981+ transmission crossmember. An original BJ42 Air
cleaner assembly was also used. The drivetrain looks like it came from the factory this way and doesn’t have any
goofy custom-made brackets like so many other conversions. If you’re a LandCruiser junky like I am, this is
probably the most highly desired 40 series drivetrain combination available. The transmission and transfer case
were rebuilt with all new Japanese (mostly Koyo)bearings, 3rd-5th synchros, seals, and gaskets. The front and rear
axles received all new wheel bearings with the front axle receiving a complete knuckle rebuild with Koyo bearings.
Has restored period-correct Dualmatic (Selctro-style) hubs. Stock Land Cruiser driveshafts were retubed, balanced,
and had new Japanese (Matsuba) U-joints installed by a local driveshaft shop. There is an OEM hand throttle
mounted under the dash to assist with cold starts or for use if a winch is installed.
This FJ40 received an OEM BJ42radiator shroud, an aftermarket BJ42 brass radiator from Australia, a new Aisin(OEM)
water pump, and new fan. This was all tied together with new Toyota hoses and belts.
The front brakes were converted to power disk using Wilwood 4-piston caliper kit, stainless hoses, and stock
Landcruiser disk brake master cylinder and brake booster. The rear brakes are stock 1981 self-adjusting, single
cylinder brakes with integrated parking brake. The brakes are a HUGE upgrade all-around with no wheel cylinders or
parking brake to manually adjust. The steering was converted to power steering using a Toyota mini-truck power
steering box and factory BJ42 power steering pump. Additionally, all tie rods were replaced with new Japanese (555
brand) units. The suspension upgrades consist of 2.5” lift springs and new Bilstein5100 series shocks. All new
greaseable spring pins and anti-inversion shackles were installed along with new polyurethane bushings. The truck
rides better than any other FJ40 I’ve been in.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Leaked Toyota FT-86 Open concept images preview droptop Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Here it is, folks - the highly anticipated Toyota FT-86 Open concept, a precursor to what could become a road-going Scion FR-S convertible. A full smattering of images and video have leaked onto the internet, and thanks to the folks at FT86Club.com, we can now see the new hotness that Toyota will be unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
These images confirm details that were first seen in spy shots captured a couple of weeks ago - namely, the larger wheel/tire package and the inclusion of the Toyobaru coupe's decidedly useless rear seats. These new photos, however, show a two-tone leather interior with goodies such as an iPod/iPhone mount on the dashboard. The concept car is also fitted with the coupe's six-speed automatic transmission (boo!) and FT86Club.com reports that the folding soft top is operated electronically.
We'll have the full details live from Geneva in just a few days. For now, click through our attached image gallery to see lots of pretty pictures of the topless wonder, and scroll down for a video to see the concept in motion.
VW targeting 10M sales in 2014
Sun, 16 Mar 2014Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.
