If you are looking for a restored, high end custom built Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser, you have just found it! This FJ
was professionally repaired using new sheet metal components (where needed) from Cool Cruisers of Texas.
Professionally installed and custom painted, interior has bed liner in black and New custom Mastercraft Baja seats
and a Tuffy center console. Everything on this build was completed in the last 2 ˝ years, many components were
replaced with new parts or rebuilt to perform like new. The truck has been driven very rarely since completion.
This is one of the more stunning FJs you will see. The Body is super straight. The Paint color is a 1978 Porsche
Green. The panels of this FJ were painted on the outside as well as the inside…giving a complete color change.
Both fenders & aprons, the hood, rear ambulance doors, etc. were removed from the tub when painted, as well as all
glass was removed. Re-assembly included stainless steel hardware. Mechanical upgrades include new battery, many
engine gaskets, belts, hoses, new starter, new alternator, new braking system, re-built factory power steering
system, new PS pump, complete new cooling system (including water pump, hoses, & heavy duty diesel radiator) the
fuel system (including removing tank to inspect and clean, new fuel pump & lines where applicable, re-built factory
original carburetor, etc). Drivetrain upgrades include WARN locking hubs, 4” suspension lift with all new leaf
springs & Biltein 5100 shock absorbers. The FJ40 has been re-geared to 4:88 with new ring and pinions and master
install kits, both axles have been completely gone through including front knuckle ball re-builds. The truck also
features stainless braided brake lines & all new power brake system front and rear. Other upgrades included new
U-joints in both drive shafts, all new suspension bushings, all new steering components, and all new fluids
throughout. In addition, this is a rare factory equipped power steering model, and the factory box has been
remanufactured The FJ40 is fitted with 17” ATX Slot simulated bead lock alloy wheels in satin black and Goodyear
Wrangler MT/R + Kevlar tires in a 35x12.50 R17 size. The axles have 1.5” wheel spacers to widen the track width
and make the stance look great Interior was kept very authentic and original where possible. Interior upgrades
include new door panels and hardware, reclining Mastercraft Baja seats, Tuffy center console with stereo
provisions, new shoulder belts, bed liner floors, & Weather Tech rubber Floor Liners. In addition the hard top was
fitted with a new headliner. Body upgrades include sheet metal repairs and replacement on the back ˝ of the tub as
well as the back of the frame. New Factory Toyota lighting and emblems were used. New mirrors & Truck Light LED
headlights with high low beams were installed. PIAA multi-function front off road lighting is mounted to an ARB
front winch bumper (no winch yet, but will accommodate a WARN 8274). Many parts on this build are the beset
condition original Toyota parts we could find and the time. This is a very nicely restored and modified FJ40 that
is ready to drive. Truck has a current Virginia safety inspection, and is road worthy. The truck had a professional
front end alignment upon completion, This truck stops, steers, and drives great. A clear Virginia Title and
matching Factory VIN number on body and on frame. Receipts are available for all work performed with details for
the new owner. I am sure I am leaving some details of this restoration out, there has been so much work done to
this truck. As with any old car, there is certainly more that can or could have been done. I have taken this FJ40
as far as I am willing to go and now it is your turn to take the keys and make it yours.

Toyota pondering high-performance GT86 hybrid?
Fri, 08 Mar 2013From what Autocar has to say, Toyota has even more plans for the GT86 beyond the convertible concept we just saw at the Geneva Motor Show. Along with a planned midcycle facelift, Toyota is reportedly looking at how to pack some extra ponies under the coupe's hood, and while there has already been a lot of talk about superchargers and turbochargers, it sounds like a performance-boosting hybrid system could also be in the works.
Talking to Toyota chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, Autocar has learned that the automaker is considering an electrical motor assist for the sporty coupe to improve performance without harming fuel economy. In attempting to keep weight - and, presumably, costs - down, the article mentions the use of a system closer to what Honda uses for its Integrated Motor Assist rather than a full Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in current Toyota hybrids. Tada says the added weight of the system could be offset by weight reduction, while aerodynamic changes and a lower center of gravity could improve the car's handling.
No word yet on whether a mild hybrid system would find its way to North America's Scion FR-S - let alone its Subaru BRZ twin - but the thought is certainly an intriguing one.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
