For Sale: 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser in Concord, North Carolina

When it comes to rugged off-road machines, few trucks can compare to this 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Fully repainted in an eye-catching brown complemented by a removable hard top, this boxy beast sports one of the better restorations we've seen on a classic SUV. Along with a pair of rear steel bumperettes, front steel bumper, tow hooks, and big 33-inch BFGoodrich All Terrain tires, this truck proves it 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 featuring a 100-mph speedometer, while a plethora of push-pull HVAC knobs control temperature and auxiliary functions. Black vinyl seats up front work in conjunction with a set of passenger jump seats in the back, allowing the whole crew to come along for the ride. Or, fold down the front seats, and fold up the back seats, and you have a canyon-sized cargo area, offering as much as space as you need, this side of a dedicated box truck. An upgraded AM/FM/Aux head unit offers Bluetooth connectivity and far more entertainment options than anything available in the early 1970s.

Prop open the steel hood, and you'll find a clean engine bay featuring a 4.2-liter inline-six-cylinder engine topped with a single two-barrel carburetor. This engine was likely rated at 135 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque for the U.S. market. That power is routed through a tried-and-true three-speed manual transmission before being sent out to either the rear wheels or to all four corners with the transfer case engaged.

• Removable Hard Top
• Four Wheel Drive
• 4.2 Liter 2F Inline 6
• Single 2 Barrel Carb

• Lifted Suspension
• Mickey Thompson Wheels
• 33 Inch BFG Tires
