this vehicle was used off road.
Engine- A well-executed Chevy 350 V8 conversion done by a previous
owner. Ceramic coated block hugger headers, dual exhaust with
Flowmaster mufflers and an Edelbrock 1405 Performer carburetor.
Items replaced within the last five years include: rear main seal,
pilot bushing, Edelbrock intake manifold, Pertronix Flamethrower
distributor and coil, Edelbrock mechanical fuel pump, water pump,
CVR Protorque starter, power steering pump, 3 row radiator,
thermostat, Toyota alternator and voltage regulator.

brakes. Replaced disc pads, Aisin brake master cylinder,
remanufactured brake booster and proportioning valve, replaced axle
bearings, seals, steering knuckle bearings, tie rod ends. GM
Saginaw power steering conversion with new remanufactured gear box,
Pro Comp steering dampener. Seller Note: I added 6 degrees of
positive caster with wedges to improve street driving
characteristics and to decrease the "wandering" that FJ40s are
known for. This did increase the pinion angle significantly and I
would suggest removing the caster wedges if you intend to off road
the vehicle.
Interior - Front bucket seats, roll bar and rear jump seats are
from a 1974 or later FJ40. A Toyota factory roll bar was added as
the original 1972 had no roll bar, and the factory style braces are
plug welded inside the wheel wells. All seat frames and roll bar
were sandblasted and powder coated, all seats were reupholstered
with new foam inserts and marine grade vinyl. Original "manual"

dash operates the transfer pump.
