For Sale: 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ in Lavergne, Tennessee

When you want a classic Land Cruiser that has authenticity and the right investments, you need to check out this 1982 Toyota FJ40. New paint, a well-done interior, and proper Toyota power are the headlines. But nothing takes away from that authentic feeling that makes this both a cool classic and a capable 4x4.

The tan paint is a new application from earlier this year. It has an attractive style like a khaki safari hat, and it also has a terrific gloss to show off the classic rugged lines of the sheet metal. So this one really looks like it's ready for an adventure. Plus, the white roof, grille, and wheels give this a hint of cool two-tone flair. And as you get closer, you'll notice details like the fresh window rubber, newer badging, and well-painted bumpers. In fact, we have a long list of recent body upgrades/replacements that range from big pieces like the windshield frame to little details like the license plate holder. It's all about giving this a stock look of true quality.

When you open the door, you'll immediately notice the upgrade to a more modern bucket seat setup up front. They have good bolstering and are finished in leather. So while they are not stock, anyone who wants to actually drive a classic will really appreciate the upgrade in comfort. The same sentiment goes for the cup holder center console and AM/FM/CD stereo w/Bluetooth. Plus, all these upgrades are in black, and so they go with the door cards, dash pad, steering wheel, and rugged rubber flooring. And the fans of true vintage Land Cruisers will be happy that this still retains the classic facing jump seats in the rear. And because they fold up and the rear doors swing wide, this FJ40 still knows how to carry plenty of cargo.

You can tell they spent money under the hood, too. After all, no 4x4 looks this clean without a little help. This is a later series FJ40, and it has the correct style 2F motor. That means a larger 4.2-liter inline-six than earlier examples. This motor is part of the backbone of Toyota's sturdy reputation, and it was even fully rebuilt in the 1990s. When you reach beyond the pavement, you'll be quite happy this has a two-speed transfer case, beefy axles, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires. Plus, the control of the four-speed manual transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs are great on or off-road. There are even newer Bilstein shocks all-around.

This is the nicely restored FJ40 that enhances what you love best about these classic 4x4s. So don't miss this deal, call today!
