This is a very cool 1970 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40. This thing sat out in front of my shop all summer, and at least 4 times I looked out to find people sitting in it to have their picture taken in it. As you can see in the youtube video, the doors and roof come off (they are off now) and there is also a basic canvas top for it too. I'm not sure if the motor is original or not... it probably is, but if it matter to you, let me know where to look for the "numbers matching motor" (ignore the video where Jack says it is a numbers matching motor). There is a dash plate that shows the shift pattern of the 3 speed transmission. This FJ does NOT have a 3 speed transmission. There is a 4 speed transmission in there. As you can see, it also has a HUGE roll bar to keep you safe! Some guys bought this FJ off of ebay some time ago to put on their mini golf course in OC MD. They had it shipped from California. They couldn't figure out how to fit it on the course, so they sold it to my buddy Jack. He then paid to get it running, all of the lights and horn working, and had a paint job splashed on. I say splashed on because although it looks good from a distance, up close you can see body work, a not so great paint job and lots of runs in the paint. The big fat tires on this are ready for the beach. The motor fires up every time (unless you don't flip the switch to ON like Jack did in the video :) ). It has push button start. It goes good and stops good, but with those fat tires, the steering is a bit hairy (it may need some steering box work). There is surface rust underneath (maybe I will have time to take some pics this week). I don't think the guages work. All in all this is a very unique vehicle with lots of potential for restoring, or use it as is and head to the beach. I have a clear California title. Here is craaazzzy Jack in a youtube video with the FJ....

Despite slow sales, no new Scion models in near-term pipeline [w/poll]
Mon, 09 Sep 2013According to a top Toyota executive, the Japanese automaker will not be introducing any fresh Scion models in the near future, Reuters reports. As of August, Scion sales for this year were down 1.6 percent from 2012 and accounted for only 0.3 percent of Toyota's overall US sales. And last month, Toyota Motor Sales USA Senior Vice President Bob Carter informed the 1,000 dealers who carry Scion that they can drop the brand without penalty.
However, never fear - Carter has assured that, while nothing new is coming for at least six months, the company is still very committed to the quirky Scion brand. Toyota launched Scion, which targets the youth market, in 2003, and sales peaked in 2006. The brand currently has five models, with the 2013 best-sellers being the FR-S sports coupe followed by the tC sedan and xB hatchback.
What do you think about Toyota's decision to hold off on introducing new or refreshed Scion models? Are they heading in the right direction, or does this spell doom for the funky Gen Y brand?
New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%
Wed, 21 May 2014Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
