Year:1982 Mileage:115384
Location:

Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States

Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States

   This FJ40 has had a very thorough refurbishing starting by removing the tub for cleaning and painting frame, repairing tub and cleaning up the interior. I will try my best to describe the FJ as completely as possible and list those things that have been done.   Many original OEM parts were used as well as new Chevy and aftermarket parts.

 I spent a lot of time making this vehicle a great driver.  I do not use the term "frame off restoration" because this was not a nut and bolt redo. However great effort was taken to insure it was well done for a mechanically sound vehicle.  I drive this vehicle during the summer and fall months.  I did not drive it in the winter.  This vehicle has been garage kept many of the years in its life. I will list what has been done to the vehicle.  If you have any questions, please ask.

 The engine was replaced with a 355 Chevy Vortec Small block. It starts easily, runs smooth.  The Small Block offers great torque and horsepower for this ride.  It is a 10:1 compression motor that runs on 87 octane.  At the same time the transmission was replaced with a Chevy TH400.  It was completely rebuilt and a Trans Go shift kit was installed.  (new torque converter too)  The transfer case and both differentials were gone though and brought back to spec along with the axle seals and bearings.  The drive train was aligned and mounted with Advanced Adapters hardware and cross members.  Custom drive shafts were made at a local machine shop.  Hubs and transfer case operate easily and have been gone through as well.

 New:

Engine/Trans
Front bumper with Tow bar option
Brakes

Brake master cylinder
Shackle reversal for added stability and drivability

New Saginaw steering gear retrofit

Anti-Wrap / Traction Bar installed to protect pinion in High torque situations
Shocks
Rear axle bearings and seals
New dual Flowmaster 40 series Edlebrock 650cfm carb with electric choke

Fuel tank (poly) and sending unit
Fuel lines and pump
Aftermarket gauges were installed with new billet aluminum cluster. Didn't trust the old gauges for new engine. Original cluster will be included in the sale.                                                         
Air Horns Installed original Toyota horns are still available.
Speedometer and odometer work correctly with factory gauge cluster.  Currently use GPS and Tachometer for speed.
JVC CD player and aftermarket speakers. 10” powered subwoofer installed under driver seat.

New Cooper ST 33x12.5x15 tires (full size spare included)

*May have missed a thing or two but I think I covered the main ones.
Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.  I will respond within 24hours.

Additional info:

 The original odometer shows 115384 miles but has been replaced with an aftermarket gauge cluster.    Many of the common FJ modifications have been done.  For example; the new SBC, 4 core radiator, automatic transmission, shackle reversal, and power steering, anti-wrap bar. This Landcruiser is a great comfortable driver. Since the modifications and the engine replacement the vehicle has been driven less than 4500 miles.  Many of the trips have been within Michigan on warm summer days.

Other arrangements can be discussed. $300 non-refundable deposit due via PayPal within 24 hrs after auction ends. Balance due within 7 days of auction ending.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma mule caught towing in the desert

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon set to arrive in dealers in the near future, it's high time Toyota got to work on a replacement for the Tacoma, a vehicle whose present generation debuted in the middle of the Bush Administration. Now, we have images of that new pickup undergoing testing.
Our spy photographers picked up this heavily modified mule undergoing tow tests in the desert. It rides on a modified version of the current Taco's frame, as evidenced by shots of its undercarriage, although our spies cite the lack of riveted sections as indications that the current truck's footprint should remain unchanged.
Aside from underbody changes, this particular Tacoma featured a six-speed manual transmission, which we're expecting to be joined by a six-speed automatic. The current four- and five-speed autos found on the current truck will almost certainly be killed off. Marching to the grave with those slushboxes will be the two-door Regular Cab body style. Our spies are expecting Toyota to focus its efforts on the larger, more accessible Double Cab.

Toyota profits up 23% on high US sales, despite mounting legal costs

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Toyota earned $9.3 billion in net income in the financial year that ends next month. The number beats earlier forecasts and marks a five-year high for the automaker, with both operating income and revenue up by 9.5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Toyota saw quarterly profit enjoy a year-on-year jump of 23.4 percent, with the manufacturer earning more than $1 billion between October and December 2012. The good news comes in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker actually endured an operating loss in North America, due in part to legal fees.
Toyota is set to pay more than $1 billion to owners who claim their vehicles decreased in value as a result of the company's recent spate of recalls. Even so, all three of the automaker's brands enjoyed a 13.5 percent sales increase in the US in the last quarter, beating the industry average. Toyota faltered in Europe, however, where it earned $99 million in operating profit last year, compared to $111 million in 2011. You can take a closer look at the company's full press release below for more information.

Watch a Camry driver in full road rage

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.
