practicality... makes the FJ40 a true classic. Driving.ca website,
2015 Classic is an oft-used accolade for the F40. Jalopnik writer,
Andrew Maness: By so many standards, the FJ40 Land Cruiser is the
definitive 20th century 4x4. With an international pedigree like a
Land Rover, the rugged simplicity of a Jeep, and swagger like an
old Bronco, the FJ is a greatest hits album of classic trucks. Fun
to look at, sure, but driving one will take your appreciation to a
whole new level. He continued: It's a wonderfully simple vehicle
that is much more than the sum of its parts, not only due to the
vehicle's capabilities, but because of the things people associate
with it: Toughness, adventurousness, reliability, style... the
qualities of an FJ40 read like the Tinder profile of someone you'd
bring home to your parents. The FJ 40 offered here in lime green
(with white top) over black makes good on all that basic appeal,
but goes well beyond to add the beauty and reliability resulting
from a complete and tasteful restoration, just 2,100 miles in the
past. The result is impressive on every score. The exterior
bright-green paint is free of damage, dents, dings or any evidence
of excessive off-road use. The respray was the work of
professionals with all appropriate surfaces-including inside the
cabin, under the hood, and all door jamb and sill surfaces-properly
treated. The roof and front-grille trim are painted in white; the
front bumper, rear bumperettes, and various body trim pieces are
painted matte-silver. (To best assess the quality of the paint and
trim finishes, please be sure to view the close-up photographs of
the car in the accompanying gallery.) This FJ has not been abused.
The extended front bumper with space for a winch, tool storage, or
auxiliary driving lights, adds increased capability in keeping with
the FJ's legendary safari readiness. Factory badging-including the
Totota lettering in the front grille, Toyota Land Cruiser emblems
on the sides of the hood, and both the Toyota and 4 Wheel Drive
emblems on the rear-is all correctly in place. Cabin glass
(including the curved rear-corner glass) and all lighting lenses
are clear and free of cracks. The aftermarket, white, 8-spoke,
15-inch wheels are in unblemished condition and are mounted with
GoodYear® Wrangler outline-white-letter 31x10.5 LT all-terrain
tires. (The matching spare is mounted on the swing-away rear
carrier.) The factory side-mounted radio antenna mount is still in
place. The interior retains an all-original look including the two
rear center-facing bench seats and the front 3-section bench.
Black-vinyl upholstery is free of excessive wear and there are no
rips or tears in the material. The characteristic simplicity of the
dashboard instruments is unaltered, down to and including the metal
data plate with transmission operating instructions. The
three-speed manual transmission shifter is mounted on the steering
column. The combination of the green and silver paint colors on the
dash is particularly handsome. The FJ's 3-spoke steering wheel with
Toyota center emblem shows very well with negligible patina. No
radio is mounted. Black carpeting covers the cabin floors. (Please

condition of the FJ Cruiser's various interior surfaces.) Under the
hood, the 3.8-liter inline 6-cylinder engine-painted i
