Tired of following the beaten path? Feeling the urge to blaze your
own trail? What better vehicle to do that in than this Toyota Land
Cruiser FJ43? This particular truck has led an interesting life. It
started out as a vehicle for Empresas P�blicas de Medellin, the
state-owned public utility company in Medellin, Colombia that had
very limited usage. An importer in St. Petersburg, Florida bought
it then sold it to a company in Sheridan, Wyoming. Vehicles like
this one, that are more than 25 years old, can be legally imported
to the United States. Powered by Toyota's well-known 4.2-liter
inline six-cylinder 2F engine, making 135 horsepower and 210 ft-lbs
of torque mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a
three-speed transfer case, taking on your favorite barely-there
road or making a new one will not be a problem for this vehicle. It
is left-hand drive and comes with some surprising options; power
steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning blowing ice
cold air and two tops. You will find it easy to see the view ahead,
thanks to the upright seating position and lots of glass. Its
six-lug wheels are shod in BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires with
triple-ply sidewalls and plenty of tread. Around back, there is a
tow hook and rear Toyota mud flaps. A few exterior panels, like the
fuel filler door, are silver instead of gray. With its "John Deere"
green exterior (Toyota paint code 681) and inviting, gray vinyl
seats, it fits two people up front and up to as many as six people
in the rear for short jaunts. There is also plenty of cargo space
between the flip-up rear bench seats. There's an aftermarket JVC
AM/FM stereo with CD player and four JBL speakers -- one behind
each front seat and two more fitted to its hard top plus there's an
amplifier under the driver's seat. This truck has full
instrumentation - speedometer, oil pressure, fuel, temperature and
battery gauges and they all work as designed. The truck arrived
wearing its rarely seen Tropical hardtop, or Trop-Top, which was
made in Medellin by Fivres. It is one of two Colombian companies
that used to manufacture the hard tops for Land Cruisers. This
example has the Toyota name on the back and each side along with a
dome light on the inside. The top features three air exterior vents
at its forward edge to usher air into the cabin. Inside, four
interior vents route air to the occupants when the vehicle's
moving. Using these vents on a mild to cool day is an alternative
to using the air conditioning. The truck also came with an
aftermarket soft top. Wear and tear both inside and out are
consistent with a vehicle of this age and its previous use and is
in excellent overall condition. Since it was originally exported
outside the United States, the truck's odometer reads in
kilometers, not miles. Thus, the 17,635 kilometers is understood to
be only 10,980 miles on the clock. Production of the first
generation Land Cruiser began in 1951 with 90 units as Toyota's
version of the Jeep-like vehicle.�The Land Cruiser has been
produced in�convertible, hardtop,�station wagon, and pickup truck
versions. The Land Cruiser's reliability and longevity has led to
huge popularity, especially in�Australia,�where it is the
best-selling�body-on-frame, four-wheel drive vehicle.�Toyota also
extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback�-
considered to be one of the toughest operating environments for
both temperature and terrain...GET OUT AND DRIVE! Examples of this
truck's competition in the United States included British Leyland's
Land Rover, the Chevrolet Blazer and companion GMC Jimmy, the Ford
Bronco II and the Mitsubishi Montero. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 17,673.9 kilometers and the vehicle is sold as is
with a mileage exempt title. CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR YOUTUBE VIDEO
