This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 sports an olive green paint job that screams rugged capability. Its boxy shape and removable top make it instantly recognizable as an off-road icon. Solid bumpers guard the front and rear, ready for action on any terrain. The 15-inch wheels are wrapped in aggressive 31x10.50R15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, giving this FJ40 serious ground clearance and traction. Clear glass all around provides excellent visibility for navigating trails or city streets. This particular FJ40 underwent a frame-off restoration by a previous owner, bringing it back to its former glory.
Open the door, and you're greeted by a bold Mandarin Orange vinyl interior that contrasts sharply with the exterior. The split-bench seat offers ample room for driver and passenger. A floor-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission sits within easy reach, ready for action. The straightforward dashboard layout keeps all controls at your fingertips, true to the FJ40's utilitarian design. Air conditioning ensures comfort on hot days, while the 5-digit odometer displays distance in kilometers, adding an international flair to this American-owned Japanese classic.
Powering this Land Cruiser is Toyota's bulletproof 4.2L 2F inline-6 engine, paired with a Weber carburetor for improved performance. The 4-speed manual transmission and 4x4 drivetrain give you full control in any situation. Recent mechanical work totaling $3,889 includes a fuel system overhaul, differential fluid changes, and steering adjustments, ensuring this FJ40 is ready for action. Power steering and power brakes with front discs provide confident control whether you're crawling over rocks or cruising down the highway.
