This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 sports an olive green paint job
that screams rugged capability. Its boxy shape and removable top
make it instantly recognizable as an off-road icon. Solid bumpers
guard the front and rear, ready for action on any terrain. The
15-inch wheels are wrapped in aggressive 31x10.50R15 BFGoodrich
All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, giving this FJ40 serious ground
clearance and traction. Clear glass all around provides excellent
visibility for navigating trails or city streets. This particular
FJ40 underwent a frame-off restoration by a previous owner,
bringing it back to its former glory.
Open the door, and you're greeted by a bold Mandarin Orange vinyl
interior that contrasts sharply with the exterior. The split-bench
seat offers ample room for driver and passenger. A floor-mounted
shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission sits within easy reach,
ready for action. The straightforward dashboard layout keeps all
controls at your fingertips, true to the FJ40's utilitarian design.
Air conditioning ensures comfort on hot days, while the 5-digit
odometer displays distance in kilometers, adding an international
flair to this American-owned Japanese classic.
Powering this Land Cruiser is Toyota's bulletproof 4.2L 2F inline-6
engine, paired with a Weber carburetor for improved performance.
The 4-speed manual transmission and 4x4 drivetrain give you full
control in any situation. Recent mechanical work totaling $3,889
includes a fuel system overhaul, differential fluid changes, and
steering adjustments, ensuring this FJ40 is ready for action. Power
steering and power brakes with front discs provide confident
control whether you're crawling over rocks or cruising down the
highway.
