Experiencing The FJ Company's celebration of the Toyota FJ Land
Cruiser is a rewarding whirlwind of emotions. Car and Driver
magazine says "The FJ Company build quality, and details, are
meticulously rendered and restored-such as the super-cool vintage
Toyota badges that wrap around one of the rear corners-and its
boxy, old-school charm is off the charts."
From the outside, to the untrained eye, this looks like a new
classic Land Cruiser, with its big wheel arches, iconic front
grille, and peering through the windows you'll see a pair of jump
seats ready to accommodate some extra passengers. The FJ's
appearance would make you believe that it was stock, that
everything was as originally designed by the factory, and that this
is very well how it would have been delivered if Toyota still made
these iconic Land Cruisers today. This is due entirely to the
passionate and clever minds at The FJ Company, incorporating and
designing upgrades, and tasteful modifications that stay true to
the original spirit of the Land Cruiser. Every new build from The
FJ Company comes with upgraded performance, via modern Toyota
mechanicals, all complimenting the charm and reliability of a
factory original Toyota Land Cruiser.
A custom Land Cruiser from The FJ Company benefits from modern-era
technology that delivers an exceptional driving experience, while
retaining a vintage-era look and feel, providing a perfect
combination of performance, style, and handling. Years of research
and testing, and countless hours developing an industry-leading
laundry list of upgrades that work seamlessly with one another, has
resulted in a vintage Land Cruiser that feels undeniably
factory-like, but with the added benefit of modern conveniences,
performance, and reliability.
The entire body and chassis of an original, FJ43 is sourced and
completely disassembled down to its last nut and bolt. A
proprietary blend of engineering and craftsmanship is called upon
to modify the chassis to accept a new and upgraded drivetrain. This
Freeborn Red G40 comes equipped with a new Toyota 1GR-FE, 4.0 Liter
V6 engine, paired with Toyota's H150F 5-Speed manual transmission
ensuring an effortless driving experience. This custom Land Cruiser
uses The FJ Company's upgraded advanced power steering rack,
vehicle stability control, traction control, and an anti-lock
braking system. Other upgrades that make driving it an absolute
pleasure is a complete set of KING Shocks, along with a set of 16"
FJCO Expedition wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Mud Terrain
tires.
Experienced metal craftsmen restore the original body utilizing new
sheet metal where needed, while other original parts are thoroughly
re-worked to present an incredible level of refinement throughout.
The FJ Company even goes as far as having created new metal die
presses in order to reproduce accurate high-quality panels. Each
vehicle is constructed in house, painted and assembled under one
roof, and fully documented from beginning to end, providing each
vehicle with its own build portfolio.
The interior is modern retro, and long gone is the notion that when
driving a classic you have to sacrifice comfort. Modern amenities
such as air-conditioning and effective heating systems are added,
along with a custom sound system, digital instrument cluster, and
Recaro Specialist front seats that allow drivers and passengers to
relax and feel like they are driving a unique and capable piece of
machinery that can take them anywhere in comfort and style. To make
this FJ even more capable, it has been equipped with a Hi-Lift
jack, Warn Zeon 8 winch and a Jerry Can for extra fuel. Lead times
for a new build is a minimum of 12 months, making this no-wait
opportunity a rare chance to enjoy an FJ Company Land Cruiser
before everyone else.
A custom Land Cruiser from The FJ Company redefines what it means
to be a classic with modern underpinnings. This Freeborn Red G40
has been restored and upgraded throughout. Modern drivetrains,
modern amenities and best of all, a driving experience that is
enjoyable, comfortable, and infinitely cool. Drive it anytime, or
all the time. As the exclusive California dealer for The FJ
Company, Canepa is proud to offer this spectacular custom G40 Land
Cruiser for sale. Available now in our Scotts Valley, Northern
