Vehicle Description
HIGHLIGHTS: Clean old FJ! Streetable crawler! 4-speed manual hooked
up to a Toyota inline 6, electric fuel pump, new A/T tires, ready
for some terrain!
BODY OVERVIEW: The body on this Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser is very
nice considering it's rock crawler modification style.It's clean
and straight-something of a rarity on these old FJs! As can be seen
from the photos, the frame has been stretched for optimal rock
crawling/offroad axle placement and for stability.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: This truck was repainted in late 2020,
and the medium gray looks excellent on this thing! It has a great
shine to it, and a surprising amount of depth given the color
choice. This old thing is sure to stand out in a crowd! Heck, this
thing is sure to stand UP in a crowd!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior condition is perhaps the
most pleasantly surprising aspect of this truck. Purpose-built
offroad rigs aren't known for their luxurious interiors, and this
FJ isn't really an exception. However, the black cloth bucket seats
are comfortable and in great condition, and the addition of
carpeting to the trunk area gifts the vehicle a more comfortable
feel. The knobs, buttons, steering wheel, etc. are all in used but
good condition. Plus it has a roll cage welded in! This FJ also
comes with both solid and tube doors, which can be easily exchanged
depending on the driver's mood. Last but not least, the inside of
the body tub has been coated in bedliner to increase
ruggedness.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood is a Toyota 3.9 liter inline
6-cylinder, which would've been the factory engine for this
vehicle. Like any Toyota worth it's reputation, the six cylinder
springs to life at a turn of the key and runs very smoothly. While
this engine may not be a big, V8 powerhouse, it is more than
adequate for this type of vehicle and torquey enough to be fun. The
4-speed manual transmission shifts as smoothly as one can expect of
a utility vehicle, and would certainly be the preferred choice in
transmission for anyone looking to do any sort of offroading. This
Toyota runs, drives, and stops great!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: This is a good, honest,
offroad-ready Toyota and the pure simplicity of these FJs is very
appealing. This one is easy on the eyes and fun to drive, so it
leaves little to be desired!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: The stretched frame look and
purpose isn't for everyone. While we think it adds to this Toyota's
offroad capabilities, this may not be the right FJ40 for someone
looking for one somewhat true to original style.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? There are a variety of non-essential items
not working, since this Toyota has previously been a dedicated
offroad vehicle. These items include the horn, heater, speedometer,
fuel gauge, reverse lights, and parking brake.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Anyone who has been seeking a
clean, unique, capable, fun offroader should give this FJ40 a
serious look!
