This is the FINEST FJ40 I have ever seen in my life which is why I bought it back in 2008. 


SERIOUS COLLECTORS READ ON.....

I have owned 5 LandCruisers and currently own four.  I have never seen an FJ40 in ABSOLUTE SHOWROOM CONDITION that is better than this one. 

AGAIN LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR - THIS IS A MUSEUM QUALITY 100% ORIGINAL FJ40.  Nothing has been cut, Americanized, or molested in this truck.   This truck is plated in Wisconsin as a "Collector" plate.   This means it is only legal for me to drive it to and from storage and to and from car shows.  During the summer months I would go get an ice cream with my wife on Sunday afternoons in it just to keep everything lubed and the battery charged.  Obviously it was stored in a climate controlled environment over the winters.  

In fact, speaking of car shows, this truck was accepted by the Iola Car Show in 2009 as one of 50 "Under the Tent" vehicles.  This was the year the show was titled "Imports and Foreigns".  Due to a family issue, I had to cancel and did not bring it to the show.  But the mere fact that it was accepted gives you an idea of the level of perfection of this vehicle.  

There are many very nice FJ40's out there that have been restored by excellent shops.  But this is the only one I have ever seen that was restored by a bona-fide Toyota Dealer!  I bought this from a dealership owner in Illinois in July of 2008.  I have driven it about 250 miles during the last 5 years.  I would be happy to discuss the dealer who restored it with you over the phone, I will even give you his number if you want. 

The pictures tell the story.  You could literally lick this vehicle in almost any spot without worry.  It is impeccable.  

RAREST OF THE RARE FACTORY PTO WINCH.....Check out the MINT AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL FACTORY PTO WINCH!!!!  Finding an FJ with a functioning and beautiful factory winch is like seeing a Sasquatch for crying out loud.   For the uninitiated, the FACTORY PTO WINCH is why this vehicle has three separate sticks on the floor.  One of the stick shifters diverts the transmission to the PTO.  Once that is done you go to first gear to deploy the winch line, and you go back to second gear to pull in the winch line.  As you can see, the winch line is coiled perfectly.  I only used it once to make sure it worked.  I let out about two feet of line and immediately pulled it in.  I did not want to ruin the perfect coiling on the winch spool. 

If you look closely you will notice the engine even has the required pollution control equipment under the hood.  Like I said, BONE STOCK. 

The only thing that I have ever had any issues with since buying the vehicle is that the transmission "weeps" a little bit after driving it.   Probably could be fixed by tightening the bolts but I didn't touch it for fear of over torquing.  

I have clear Wisconsin title to the vehicle and the mileage is listed as exempt.  This is because the truck came to the restorer from Canada.  The engine was completely redone by the restorer and runs perfectly.  

 Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS VEHICLE?  It is very simple.  I like to DRIVE my vehicles.  This vehicle is NOT a daily driver.  It is a Barrett Jackson level restoration and should be owned by a serious collector.  

You wont find one better than this one, maybe you will find one as nice, but not better.  

BUYER - THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE MY POSSESSION UNTIL I HAVE CERTIFIED GOOD FUNDS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT.  Also, I am a very busy person and I travel frequently.  Once you have paid for the truck I will accommodate your shipper in any way I can.  If I am traveling I can arrange to have my father in law meet you to ship the vehicle.  

Good luck and email me if you want to ask any questions.   My name is Dave.

Toyota recalls 209,000 FJ Cruisers over seatbelt issue

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a substantial recall of the FJ Cruiser for a problem that could cause the front seatbelt retractors to separate from the vehicle body. This recall will apply to all FJ Cruisers - from 2007 through 2013 - totaling around 209,000 units.
The problem stems from the FJ Cruiser's pillarless door opening design that has the front-occupant seatbelts attached to the rear doors. Toyota says that when the rear doors are "repeatedly and forcefully closed," the retractor could completely separate from the door frame.
While there is no information about this recall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration yet, Toyota says that there have been no accidents or injuries associated with this issue. No specific fix or recall date are given, but the official press release is posted below.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
