1976 Fj40 Land Cruiser Nut & Bolt Rotisserie Restoration on 2040-cars
Fox Island, Washington, United States
This 1976 FJ40 Land Cruiser has undergone a COMPLETE frame off rotisserie, nut and bolt restoration. EVERY single part has been media blasted and either powder coated or epoxy primed and painted with a base coat clear coat paint system. All paint product exceeded the original 1976 standard and will out live both you and I.
I began this project fulfilling a dream of owning an FJ40 since I was a kid in High School. I always wanted a Cruiser but could never afford to make one the way it deserved to be restored. I searched high and low for the right vehicle, I flew thousands of miles and drove up and down the coast looking at old rusted out turds. Most people have a skewed idea of what a restoration is. What you'll typically find in most peoples eyes of a restored vehicle is rattle canned under carriage with maybe some new parts here and there and a nice paint job. To me that IS NOT restored but merely cleaned up and considered a daily driver. A restoration is the ENTIRE project broken down and re assembled to new. I came across this barn find that needed a new home as the owner became to old to enjoy his FJ (literally in a barn beside an old school Farmall Cub). Most people have a bullet list of all the new parts installed in their restored project. Frankly, If I made a list it would be PAGES long. What I did was replaced everything that was bad with OEM Toyota part if available. If OEM parts were not available I would search for the BEST condition used part, restore it, and if those parts weren't around they were replaced with after market parts (VERY few used). This is truly a work of art and demands someone to treat it as such. This Fj40 is a garage queen and never sees the rain (pavement princess). Attached are a few photos to give you an idea of what measures were taken to restore this vehicle. In my opinion this Cruiser would give Sheryl Crow or Jay Lenos Icon FJ40 a run for their money.. If you are truly interested in owning this Cruiser I would be happy to answer any and ALL questions over the phone. It's much easier to talk in person then write a novel on an Ebay posting. I have over 500 photos documenting every step of this restoration and only able to post a few photos on Ebay. If there is a specific photo or question please don't hesitate to ask. Ebay will not allow me to upload any more photos, send a request to my email for specific photos and I'll get them to you as soon as possible.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
Toyota reports huge quarterly profit increase, raises forecast for the year
Sun, 04 Aug 2013Toyota isn't just the world's largest automaker - so far its the biggest winner for quarterly profits. With an enormous $5.5 billion take during Q2, Toyota took advantage of the weak Japanese yen and strong US demand to record a 94-percent improvement in profit over the same period from last year. So far, Toyota brought in larger profits than Ford and General Motors combined.
Toyota is showing no signs of slowing down either, as it has bumped up its forecast for full-year global production, going from 9.94 million to 10.12 million vehicles, on the back of a 13-percent drop in the buying power of the Japanese yen versus the US dollar. That strong exchange rate is largely responsible for Toyota's big jump in profits, although it also managed to shift 1.3 million vehicles in the US market this year. Strong Camry sales have also helped. But while Toyota is raking in the cash, it actually saw a small drop in market share, down 0.1 percent to 14.3 percent of the US market.
As is the case with most automakers, Toyota seems flummoxed by Europe, where it recorded less than one percent of its revenue. Still, as Automotive News points out, Toyota only maintains a 4.5-percent market share in Europe and is far less dependent on the continent than other manufacturers. Toyota also struggled at home, much like Honda. With 525,777 units sold, JDM sales were down almost 51,000 units, although Toyota still saw its operating profit jump from $3.5 billion to $4.6 billion.
Toyota Tundra ditches V6 for 2015
Fri, 12 Sep 2014The Toyota Tundra debuted in new-ish form for the 2014 model year, but as we head into 2015, the truck boasts a couple of small updates. Most notably, the base V6 engine has been discontinued. On top of that, there's the new TRD Pro model on offer for 2015, which we've told you about before.
Why kill the V6? Simple - it was very low-volume. "The Tundra V6 take rate was significantly less than five percent," a Toyota spokesperson confirmed via email to Autoblog. So for 2015, the two V8 engine options remain - a 4.6-liter unit with 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque, or the more powerful 5.7-liter powerplant with 381 hp and 401 lb-ft. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive is standard. Four-wheel drive, of course, is available with either engine.
The only other noteworthy changes for 2015 include an optional integrated trailer brake for the 5.7-liter models, a new rear under-seat tray storage system for Double Cab trucks, and a spray-in bed-liner. Scroll down for the official press blast.
