L.R.A. Enterprises Auto Museum and Sales presents: This 1981 Toyota
Land Cruiser FJ40 was reportedly sold new in Venezuela, where it
underwent a body-off refurbishment completed in 2018. The previous
owning dealer imported it to the US in 2020. The truck is finished
in orange with a tan soft top over a reupholstered black interior,
and power is provided by a rebuilt 4.2L 2F inline-six mated to a
four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case.
Equipment includes power-assisted steering, a power take-off winch,
and aftermarket air conditioning. Additional work is said to have
included rebuilds of the front disc and rear drum brakes, a
suspension overhaul, servicing of both axles, and more. The body
was taken off of the frame and stripped of its previous light blue
before being refinished in orange. The tan factory soft top was
refitted, along with a refurbished Toyota PTO winch, side-mounted
telescoping mirrors, and a swing-away rear tire carrier that allows
access to the drop-down tailgate. A new black soft top is included
in the sale. Toyota 16 steel wheels are painted black and wear
chrome hub covers and 3512.5 Mickey Thompson tires mounted during
the refurbishment. Warn locking hubs are fitted at the front, and
servicing of the front and rear axles reportedly included new
bearings and seals, as well as rebuilds of the front disc and rear
drum brakes. The front bucket and fold-down troopy jump seats have
been upholstered in black vinyl with orange topstitching. Black
rubber mats cover the floors. Additions include air conditioning
from Nostalgic AC, a Tuffy Deluxe stereo console with cup holders,
a locking rear compartment, and an upholstered armrest. The
three-spoke factory steering wheel frames a silver-painted
instrument panel housing a 160-km/h speedometer, along with gauges
for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and voltage. The
six-digit odometer indicates a little under 183k kilometers (~114k
miles), though true mileage is unknown. The 4.2L 2F inline-six is
carbureted and sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a
four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
According to the previous dealer, both the engine and transmission
were rebuilt during the refurbishment, and a new exhaust system was
fitted. A 5 lift kit was installed, along with Old Man Emu shocks
up front and Man A Fre shackle reversal and U-bolt flip kits fore
and aft. Additional photos depicting driveline, suspension, and
exhaust components are provided in the gallery. Call or email with
