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

and make the stance look great Interior was kept very authentic and original where possible. Interior upgrades

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.

US-built Corollas will soon be exported to Latin America, Caribbean
Sun, 29 Sep 2013Toyota has announced plans to export the American-made Corolla south, to 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2014. The move follows statements made to The Wall Street Journal by Toyota's South American leader, Steve St. Angelo, that spoke to Toyota's resolve in emerging American markets.
Toyota is expected to begin export production in April, with initial production of 7,500 Corollas in the first year, courtesy of its Tupelo, Mississippi assembly plant. Years of unpredictable swings in the value of the Japanese yen has seen Toyota push its manufacturing operations in other countries, particularly the US, where its builds ten different models.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene
Mon, 10 Mar 2014We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.
Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.
