1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a 2F engine. Olive Brown
I have owned a total of 14 FJ40s and 2 FJ45 pickups in the last 30 years and this stock '78 is a nice one!. It
has 99.9% of the 'original-stuff'' still on it AND that stuff still functions! I currently have two other FJ40s and
the facility-space requires this one to be adopted. I have a passion for these vehicles and I'm certain that the
new owner will love it.
I live 40 minutes northwest of Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and 90 minutes northwest of Hobby Airport
in Houston, TX. I welcome you to inspect and drive this vehicle and you will agree as to the quality of this FJ40.
Interior:
Front seats and jump seats in FJ40 stock charcoal-grey are in very nice condition.
Driver & passenger floorboards and cargo bed are in great condition (see photos). Two coats of Zero-Rust product
(as a base) and 3 coats of Raptor bed liner (with matching paint) was applied to the driver and passenger floor
boards. I left the transmission hump stock, however it can be finished to match the floor boards. I will include a
can of extra paint.
Knobs and switches are present and operate:
Wipers slow & fast operational
Choke, hazard, fan low & high, fresh air, warm air all function. Vent/heat/defrost knobs present and heater
functions. Rear heater was disassembled, cleaned and it has an easy-access, quick disconnect wire to turn it on &
off. It works well and will certainly warm-your-cargo.
Cigarette lighter is present but does not work.
There is a home-made piece of plastic to cover the hole where the AM/FM radio was removed. Antennae is present.
All gauges operate correctly and hold steady. (Nice that this FJ40 holds engine temp on the cool side).
Emergency brake holds the vehicle stationary.
Horn functions with two horn assemblies on the side of the radiator shroud.
Gauges, dash, heater and dome lights all function. Dome light plastic cover is cracked.
Sun visors and rear view mirror are functional.
New 4-speed shift knob.
Side window defoggers and hoses from heater are present and functional.
New pedal pads for brake, clutch and gas.
Glove box....you can eat out of there it is so clean!
Driver & passenger windows roll up and down properly.
Driver, passenger, ambulance doors and fuel door lock & unlock with TWO sets of keys.
Headliner is not present, however the top has been properly prepared & is ready for a replacement liner. These run
about $150 from Cruiser Corps.

Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.
Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
