Vehicle Description
This stunning Voodoo Blue Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser was fully
restored by a service shop family in Topeka Kansas over the course
of three years, and was finished into the spectacular FJ40 that it
is today. The Kansas family owned the Land Cruiser for over ten
years and out of three of those years they performed an extensive
full nut-and-bolt restoration with a true cost of over $110,000.
Every part and piece was an NOS part ordered from either Lewis
Toyota in Topeka or Specter Off-Road the Land Cruiser parts
specialist in California (all receipts included). With over $30,000
alone in body and frame work, the truck was fully disassembled and
all pieces and frame were media blasted. Then the frame and
differentials were powder-coated and the underbody and bottom of
interior floors were Rhino-lined. It was reassembled with over
$5,000 in stainless steel bolts and fasteners and all parts used in
restoration were OEM including all the rubber seals, rubber
bumpers, window slides, window felt, body mounts and bushings.
Under the hood is the balanced and blueprinted original 4.2-liter
2F inline-6 engine that was completely rebuilt with MAF forged 9:1
pistons and backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. It has been
upgraded with a Weber 36/36 carb, Man-A-Fre chrome headers, MAF
aluminum radiator, and all-new water pump, alternator, hoses and
clamps. It has an all-new, complete 4-wheel power disc brake system
and the front and rear differentials were rebuilt with new CV
joints, driveshaft balanced and steering knuckles rebuilt. The
suspension contains a 2" Old Man Emu lift with reverse shackle kit,
caster shims for correct driveshaft angle and American Racing
Mojave Wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Baja Mountain Tires. The
interior was completely restored along with the front and rear
heaters. The steering wheel is the only single item not restored on
this truck. Documentation includes the original owner's manual,
Kenwood Music Editor CD-ROM, Kenwood stereo instruction manual
original Land Cruiser brochure, miscellaneous restoration receipts
and a photo album depicting the vehicle at various stages of its
transformation.
