The Toyota Land Cruiser, in its many sizes and configurations has
had a long and successful history of reliable service through the
most rugged of conditions. From its humble beginnings as a rural
police vehicle in Japan, the Toyota FJ40's reputation has spread
worldwide. Collectors have recognized the value of Toyota's
back-country workhorse, and their enthusiasm is very apparent.
Offered here is a truly exceptional example of Toyota's renowned
FJ40. FJ40251614 was sold new to Arizona, USA where it has resided
its entire life, dry and corrosion free. According to previous
caretakers, the local Toyota dealership (from where it was
purchased) installed rear plastic fender flairs, BF Goodrich sand
tires and a reserve gas tank for adventures in the local sand
dunes. The truck remained in the area as a weekend driver, until a
friend-of-a-friend eventually acquired the FJ and decided to
commission the truck to a full nut-and-bolt restoration to its
former cosmetic glory. Starting with a remarkably original,
complete and well maintained example, the year-long restoration was
fairly straightforward, while the truck is said to remain about 90%
of its original components and metal, down the leaf spring
shackles.
The FJ retains its original, numbers-matching engine and colors
with improved drivability for everyday use. Paint and upholstery
were kept stock in appearance, retaining original glass, trim, roll
bar, jumper seats and components. The motor is now fitted with a
Weber DGAS carburetor conversion, coated long tube header and
manifold for better power and reliability, while the original Aisan
carburetor, cast manifold and airbox are included. In addition, the
air conditioning system was upgraded with modern R134a refrigerant
and compressor and recently serviced. In July 2017 Land Rover
Restorations in KS performed a complete rebuild of the
transmission. This remarkable FJ is now turn-key ready for
comfortable city driving or overland adventures out of the box. The
body has a clear paint protection film to further protect its
appearance.
This FJ40 is certain to be a hit on the show field, though would be
equally at home if put to work. Exceptionally restored, it comes
complete with factory original 1977 Owner's Manual, Tool Roll,
Jack, Spare and Emergency Equipment for concours display -
as-well-as spare consumable backup parts for off-roading, in which
the FJ has already proven its worth during the 2016 Copperstate
Overland Rally. We are proud to offer this great FJ40 now available
for worldwide purchase and delivery, we are happy to help you
arrange finance and shipping options with our many trusted
vendors.
