Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 Fj45 Troop Carrier on 2040-cars
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I
bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on
since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in
order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the
inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in.
The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall. It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s
called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can
change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has
several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any
auto paint supply store. I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this
vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and
back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest
Roll bar. Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used,
Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel.
Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling
off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which
will need to be upholstered. New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape,
but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you
want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away. Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts
replaced. It is in great shape. Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself. The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is
“showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have
too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out. There are other parts as well, and please call if you have
any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks. |

2015 Toyota Prius C is still colorful, still gets 53 mpg
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Few vehicles can match the affordable fuel economy of the $19,000, 53-mile-per-gallon Toyota Prius C, and that fact isn't likely to change for 2015, as the Japanese company has issued a moderate refresh of its sub-compact hybrid.
As mid-cycle refreshes go, this is a pretty standard affair, with a larger grille and tweaked LED headlights at the front of the Prius C, and more expressive taillights at the back. Toyota made some minor changes in the cabin, updating materials throughout, but not fiddling too much with the overall level of equipment.
Aside from those modest changes, this is the same fuel-efficient five-door, retaining its 1.5-liter, 73-horsepower, 82-pound-foot four-cylinder, while an electric motor tosses in an extra 26 ponies, for a total system output of 99 horsepower. Along with the 53-mpg highway rating, the C will return 46 mpg in the city.
Watch a Toyota Highlander ram a house, twice
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Toyota has had plenty of problems in recent years due to claims of unintended acceleration, and now here's a video that actually catches such a claim on video. The driver of this 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander claims that the crossover's accelerator got stuck causing the vehicle to slam into the house twice, and resulting in damage to the Highlander, the house and two vehicles inside the garage. While we don't know when this accident took place, the video was uploaded to YouTube back in January.
It is impossible to determine what actually happened in this video, but what we do know is that a security camera captures the Highlander slowly pulling into the driveway before it lunges forward slamming into the garage. With the tires squealing and metal crunching, the driver then shifts between reverse and drive a couple times causing even more property damage before spinning out in the street and finally being able to shift into Park. Scroll down to see the video for yourself. Whether unintended acceleration or driver error, this was undoubtedly a harrowing ordeal.
Toyota U2 urban utility concept inspired by Maker Faire [w/video]
Tue, 09 Sep 2014There's a quiet revolution happening in US cities. People want to mix an urban lifestyle with a connection to nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The result of all of this is folks pursuing things as varied as urban farming, home brewing and the whole maker movement. Toyota thinks it has the perfect concept for these intrepid customers with its new Urban Utility concept that it is debuting during a panel discussion hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco and debuting publicly on September 20 at the World Maker Faire in New York City.
The Urban Utility concept can best be described as a modern take on the old panel van. Designers from Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California interviewed Maker Faire participants to find out what its users want from a novel vehicle like this. "Toyota saw an opportunity for a new approach to an urban vehicle based on increasing re-urbanization of our cities and urban drivers' desire for flexibility, fun and maneuverability," said Kevin Hunter president of Calty.
On the outside, the Urban Utility doesn't really scream for attention. It's meant to meet users "desire for greater utility but a smaller vehicle footprint," according to the release, but the shape is still very much a van. The designers do try to lend it some panache with the LED headlights up front and checker board side panels. It's really more about utility than looks, though, because the roof can roll back for taller loads, the rear glass retracts into the tailgate, and the whole rear can fold down as a ramp to load stuff more easily into the cabin. Toyota isn't talking about a powertrain yet but claims that the underbody is also especially durable for a long life in the big city.
