The 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is renowned for its ruggedness
and reliability, a hallmark of Toyota's engineering during this
era. This particular year it marked a significant point in the
FJ40's history, as it was during this period that Toyota started to
increase the comfort and drivability of these vehicles without
compromising their off-road capabilities. This specific FJ40,
finished in a classic green with a white top, is believed to be a
Latin American import, evident from unique features like the
absence of a roll bar and long rear bench seats. A 4.2L inline-6
engine powers it, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It's a
fitting powerhouse for this off-road legend. The vehicle has
undergone a full repaint and sits on 15" wheels with 32X11.50R15LT
tires. It features leaf spring suspension on both the front and
rear, power drum brakes, and a single exhaust system. The interior
is straightforward, with black vinyl bucket seats and an AM/FM/AUX
stereo system. However, it's important to note that this FJ40 has
some quirks. It appears to have been restored with
cost-effectiveness in mind, as indicated by the painted, corroded
muffler and the use of a Harbor Freight winch. Additionally, there
are concerns about the 4x4 functionality and the overall
authenticity of a Japan-built FJ.
