For Sale: 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ in Kentwood, Michigan

Vehicle Description

The driving experience of the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is an unparalleled adventure that captivates off-
road enthusiasts with its iconic design and rugged performance. Modeled after the renowned Willy's

M38 Jeep from WWII, the FJ40 was crafted to compete globally, challenging the likes of Land Rover. Over
time, Toyota's FJ40 emerged as a more robust and reliable vehicle in the face of demanding terrains. Its
revered drivetrain features a legendary 2F inline-6 engine coupled with a coveted 4-speed, floor-shift,
manual transmission. This 1978 model underwent a comprehensive ground-up restoration and
mechanical rebuild roughly seven years ago and remains in fantastic condition.

Stepping inside the Toyota FJ40 reveals a clean black leather interior complemented by an attractive red
exterior. Noteworthy improvements at the time of restoration include rebuilt springs, new tie-rod ends,
suspension bushings, front and rear differential service, and a fully serviced transfer case. The
meticulous attention to detail extends to new exhaust manifolds, u-joints, springs, shackles from Spector
Off Road, seat belts, brake pads, seats, and a fresh coat of paint. The vehicle is equipped with additional
features such as a Mile Marker 8000 lb recovery winch, new Michelin tires, and a full roof rack, further
enhancing its allure.

In general, the 1978 Toyota FJ40 stands as a testament to its era, embodying a sought-after classic design
and robust performance. Beyond its mechanical prowess, this vintage 4x4 is a visual delight, capturing
attention with its timeless exterior and a carefully restored interior. Whether tackling challenging terrains
or turning heads on the road, the FJ40 is a reliable companion for off-road enthusiasts. This particular
model, ready for immediate enjoyment, represents the desirable 1978 year, making it an ideal choice for
those seeking an adventurous and stylish ride. Please call or email with any questions or for additional
