For Sale: 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser in Lithia Springs, Georgia

When it comes to rugged off-road machines, few trucks can compare to this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Fully repainted in an eye-catching Mustard Yellow complemented by a removable black soft top, this boxy beast sports a set of later-model premium SR5 wheels to give it a unique look. Along with a pair of rear steel bumperettes, front steel bumper, tow hitch, and tow hooks, prove this truck is ready to tackle any terrain you want to throw at it.

Inside, this no-frills interior has everything you need and nothing you don't. A three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of a five-pod gauge panel, while a plethora of push-pull HVAC knobs handles temperature and auxiliary functions. An electric power-steering assistant is situated under the dashboard and works efficiently and seamlessly. Black vinyl bucket seats up front work in conjunction with a set of passenger jump seats in the back, allowing up to four people to come along for the ride.

Prop open the steel hood, and you'll find a 4.2-liter inline-six-cylinder engine topped with a single two-barrel carburetor. With its 2F engine casting, this engine more than likely made 133 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque for the U.S. market. Power flows through long tube headers and transitions to a single exit exhaust. From that engine, a four-speed manual transmission is a four-speed manual transmission, which just received a new clutch, throw-out bearing, and seals last year.
