1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Rugged on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Available for acquisition is my 1977 FJ40.
The body and drive train was removed from the chassis and the bare chassis was media blasted and coated in Imron.
While the chassis was being media blasted the underbody was prepped and coated in bedliner. There was minor rust at
the rear door sill which was cut out and replaced, photo documentation is available. There was no other rust
concerns at all, pre paint photo documentation verifies the remarkable condition prior to restoration. The interior
wears original patina, nothing has been done to hide the amazing condition of the original interior. New shocks,
shackles, and body bushings were introduced at time of reassembly. All spot welds and rivets are easily visible and
compliment the unmolested body. All glass is original TEQ, the windshield has a couple imperfections that do not
obstruct but it is the original glass throughout. The side mirrors are not original, they are European spec sourced
for their aesthetic contribution. Every light works, headlights, signals, marker lights, seat belt light, brake
lights, interior e-brake light, back up lights, fog lights and fog light switch light, gauge cluster, green dash
light and dome light. The only sticker missing from this vehicle is the Unleaded fuel only sticker, I am trying to
source one now.Vintage Air was added and functions as intended. The wheels and tires are not original, the white
wagon wheels and tires are available if desired.

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
