This custom 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is powered by a Chevrolet
350ci small-block V-8 engine with Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection and a March Performance chrome pulley and accessory kit,
backed by an AX15 five-speed manual transmission. The transfer case
was rebuilt and serviced, while the front and rear differentials
received new bearings and seals. A custom exhaust system is fitted.
The Old Man Emu suspension was refreshed with upgraded shocks, and
the power steering system was upgraded. The cooling system includes
a heavy-duty aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. Four-wheel
disc brakes include new brake lines and a proportioning valve. The
exterior was refinished in a Desert Beige high-ruggedness coating
and features a custom hood scoop, LED headlamps, rear LED lamps,
PIAA running lights, steel side runners, a 4Plus heavy-duty rear
bumper with a Yeti cooler-sized tray and spare wheel swing-out
carrier and a 4Plus channel front bumper with a 10,000-pound winch.
It rides on Mickey Thompson alloy wheels with hub-centric spacers.
The custom interior features Chocolate distressed leather
upholstery with exterior-color-matched edge piping, custom forward
comfort seats and a forward-facing rear bench. The steering wheel
is wrapped in leather with a color-matched center cap. New
carpeting, interior trim and sound treatment were installed.
Additional equipment includes a Dakota Digital gauge cluster,
under-dash air conditioning with a custom condenser and brackets, a
complete custom wiring harness and fuse block system, and
replacement weatherstripping and seals.
