 1968 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40 / All Original BARN FIND / Clean / NOTHING Rusted Through / PTO WINCH / Original Paint +

 Original owner bought new from Roseburg Oregon dealership (see documents) in 1968.  It was then sold to son-in-law who drove it into his barn in 1991 & that is where it stayed for the last 23 years.  Son-in-law claims that the odometer has NOT flipped, but I obviously can't guarantee that?  The bumpers are banged up from moving it around in the barn over the years by pushing it with a tractor.  Since being pulled from barn all that has been done to it is exterior soap & water wash & interior clean up/critter removal.  Decided to sell as a non-runner when I noticed that the rats had done some electrical work. Noticed some chewed wires on engine side of firewall & some more back by fuel tank.  I did not notice any chewed up interior wires.  Engine turns over fine with a jumper on the starter so shouldn't be too tough to get going, I just don't have the time & it's really not my thing.  This truck still has a headliner, original seats (driver's side recovered @ some point), PTO winch, under seat tool tote (incomplete), partial owners manual (rats), jack, service booklet, some chains, extra wiper arm under seat, hitch ball, original keys, etc.  I am not an FJ nut personally, so I'm there will be questions, and feel free to email with them.  I'll do my best to get them answered right away.  Thanks for looking & please only bid if you intend to buy.  I can assist with shipping anywhere within the U.S. and some locations overseas.  But, please make arrangements and try to have that part figured out before buying.

****Note:  I ask that nobody bids on my listing for entertainment purposes.  If you end up winning this auction & do not follow through with transaction I will expect some compensation for wasting my time.  If you do not intend to pay compensation due to failure of completing transaction I can assure you that you will be impressed with the efforts that are made to collect.  In other words, bidding is for buyers.****

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Toyota unveils two new small displacement engines

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Toyota introduced a pair of brand-new engines in Japan today, that it says will eventually spawn 14 different variants by 2015. Where these two engines stand out in today's world, is that neither mill boasts direct injection, and both are naturally aspirated.
The larger of the two is a 1.3-liter, while the smaller engine, a 1.0-liter, was developed in collaboration with Daihatsu. What makes these two unique is that they both use the Atkinson cycle. Now, we aren't going to bore you by explaining just what this is - there's Google for that. Suffice it to say, Atkinson engines are highly efficient, but that efficiency comes by sacrificing power. That's why they're so popular in hybrids, which can offset the power losses.
This focus on fuel efficiency extends throughout the new engines, which also benefit from tweaks like a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system and a trick intake port, while the 1.3 employs Toyota's iE variant of variable valve timing. Both engines can be fitted with stop-start tech. According to Toyota, when fitted with stop-start the 1.3 should provide around a 15-percent bump while the 1.0-liter will increase economy around 30 percent, when they arrive on the road.

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
