wheelbase ?Tidy undercarriage Long the Swiss Army Knife of off-road
vehicles, Toyota?s FJ40 Land Cruiser remains desirable well after
it went out of production in 1983 (United States). This example has
undergone a complete professional frame-off restoration and this FJ
absolutely represents high quality and it stands apart from the
rest! Wearing Freeborn Red (code 309), this 4x4?s paint and trim
are in overall excellent order. The body remains straight and
solid, the engine bay and undercarriage is extremely tidy, the
front bumper supports a 12,000-capacity Badland winch and the
bumper looks great. This Toyota rolls on Firemax FM501 all-terrain
light truck tires and there?s another one as a rear-mounted spare
tire on the barn doors. All four tires plus the spare are mounted
on a gray, alloy wheels that contrast nicely with the paint color.
Up front are locking hubs and leaf springs at every corner. Under
the hood is Toyota?s venerable 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine
(code 2F). Mated to this motor is a four-speed manual transmission
(code H42) with a two-speed transfer case and 4.11:1 rear end (code
K082). Putting power to the wheels are a pair of Birfield front and
rear axles. Driver convenience features include front disc brakes
and rare power steering. Inside, there is a black vinyl interior
(code LE11). The front buckets and fold-down rear jump seats are
all in very good order, as are the matching floor mats. A classic,
three-spoke steering wheel is ready for adventure. A red metal
instrument panel presents a full array of gauges and the black
inner door liners echo the rest of the interior?s condition, Temp
gauge is inop. Rounding out the interior is an under-dash heater.

Dodge?s Ramcharger, Ford?s Bronco, GMC?s K5 Jimmy,
