This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 is a rare find, stretching 6 inches longer in the wheelbase and over a foot longer overall than its FJ40 sibling. Its bold red exterior commands respect on the trail and street alike. The 15-inch wheels wrapped in meaty 31X10.5R15 tires provide the perfect stance for conquering any terrain. A sturdy soft top crowns this off-road titan, ready for open-air adventures or battening down against the elements.
Inside, this FJ43 blends utility with comfort. The black vinyl 70/30 bench seat offers durability for off-road excursions while maintaining a clean aesthetic. A Dakota Digital dash brings modern precision to the classic cabin, providing crystal-clear readouts of vital information. The floor-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission sits ready for action, while the AM/FM single CD player with Bluetooth and aux input keeps the tunes flowing. Vintage Air conditioning ensures comfort in any climate, a luxurious touch in this rugged machine.
Powering this Land Cruiser is Toyota's legendary 4.2L 2F inline-6 engine, completely remanufactured for reliability and performance. It breathes through a rebuilt single 2-barrel carburetor and a PerTronix Ignitor II electronic ignition system for improved efficiency and easier starts. Power flows through the 4-speed manual transmission to a thoroughly serviced 4x4 system, with both differentials cleaned and resealed. Steering is a breeze thanks to the power steering system, while power brakes with drums all around provide confident stopping power. A single exhaust with a factory-style muffler provides a satisfying rumble without being overpowering.
