 This is either a great truck to do a little bit of work on and immediately take out and bang up on the trail or a start of a project! I bought it a few months ago so I could take the original F type motor, the heater parts and a few other parts put in a 73 FJ 40 I have that has a 350 in it. As is often the case, I have bitten off too much and I don't have time or energy to to go through with it. I'm in the middle of bringing a 72 FJ 55 back to life so something has to go. That is why I am selling this truck.

So...here is what you get that is good:

  • Strong & solid running F type motor, choke works, starts a bit rough but give it a simple tune up and it would start right up. I took the air cleaner assembly off but it does come with the truck. Properly functioning transfer case & transmission. 2 WD High/4 WD High & Low all work. The clutch is working but needs adjusting or eventually replaced. Motor, trans & transfer can go for $1,500 plus
  • Working breaks with new master cylinder, newer wheel cylinders in back and a couple new break lines. I just was trying to get the breaks working which I did so didn't do anything to drums or shoes.
  • Front & rear heater
  • Ok top. Some rust on back left and top has one spot that needs a little fiber glass repair. No headliner. Glass is all good and the back swing up window is in good shape and works. Tops alone can bring $400 to $900+.
  • Good doors with no rust, good glass, right vent glass hinge is broken but an easy fix. Registers are stiff but a little work and they would be fine. Doors go for $175 to $275 easily.
  • Good windshield glass no wiper motor.
  • Dash is cracked but not ridiculous, most of knobs are intact and I have the glove box door and ash tray.
  • Seats are way above average but could use some work and are extremely solid as a base for refurbishing. No head rests
  • Roll bar & seat belt

Here is what you get that isn't good:

  • Rust! It looks like this truck lived in northern Michigan and spent plenty of time in Canada so you can imagine. There is a rust through spot on the frame but everything considered not too bad and is pretty straight forward fix.
  • needs taillights and front marker lights.
Bottom line is that there are a lot of good parts on this truck or you could use it as a start of a project or just have a solid trail rig...? I'm a Cruiser enthusiast so know what it is worth to the right person. I also don't want anyone to buy it without completely understanding what they are getting into. Please e-mail questions and I will answer ASAP. I need this truck gone. I will help with shipping and have a couple reliable companies I have worked with.

Thanks Kevin

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.

Toyota updates Euro-market GT86 suspension, appearance

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

While we were busy ogling the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0 with its Yuzu yellow paint and a workover by Toyota Racing Development, and the Japanese Toyota 86 buyers were trying out their Playstation-compatible Sports Drive Logger telemetry system, the European 2015 Toyota GT86 got fitted with some new parts of its own. New on next year's model are stiffer mounts for the front suspension and rear shock absorbers, and new shocks in the back for better damping and less friction. Toyota says the result is sharper steering and less body roll.
Inside, the instrument panel and center console get decorated with a "carbon-fiber motif." There are new shades of pearl white and silver to dress up the outside, and the roof gets a shark-fin antenna for sharper looks and aero. It goes on sale this summer, and you can read everything we just told you in the press release below. We've reached out to Scion to see if we'll get the same upgrades on the FR-S this summer, too, company PR rep Nancy Hubbell telling us, "The European changes are among those being considered for the US model FR-S and we'll have final confirmation soon."

Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon rides again with Busta Rhymes

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

Let's face it: there are few things less "gangsta" than a minivan (which goes a long way towards explaining why crossovers have been gradually taking their place as the family-hauler of choice across America, but we digress). The point here is not lost on Toyota, which has embraced the uncool image of the minivan with the Swagger Wagon campaign.
We first saw the suburban-goes-urban campaign pop up with the introduction of the new Sienna back in 2010. And now that the Sienna's been updated for 2015, the campaign is back again, featuring none other than Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr. himself... better known to most as Busta Rhymes. The decidedly white-bread video spot that follows may make you cringe, but you've got to admit that it's well done, even if it doesn't have the charm and freshness of the original.
