5033-TPA 1978 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40

Rugged and ready for adventure, the 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 wears its Butterscotch paint like a badge of honor earned in the wild. Built for conquering terrain rather than turning corners at the country club, this legendary off-roader stands tall on 15" wheels wrapped in 31x10.5R15LT tires that can tackle any trail with ease. The white removable hardtop provides versatility for open-air exploration, while the front tow hook and Curt front tow bar hint at this vehicle's capability as an expedition-ready machine. Manual locking hubs and solid front and rear bumpers complete the functional exterior package, with a full-size spare mounted at the rear alongside a high-lift jack – essential tools for the back-country traveler.

Inside the cabin, dark gray vinyl covers both the front bucket seats and the rear bench, creating a durable interior ready for mud-splattered adventures. The FJ40's spartan yet functional dashboard houses clear, easy-to-read gauges that provide essential information without unnecessary distractions. A locking center console offers secure storage, while manual window cranks and door locks maintain the truck's mechanical simplicity. No radio means the sound of the engine and the outdoors provide your soundtrack – exactly as Toyota intended when these workhorses first rolled off the assembly line. The door panels and seats show minimal wear, preserving the original tactical feel.

Powering this trail-ready FJ40 is the legendary 4.2-liter inline-six engine, known for bulletproof reliability and torque delivery when the going gets tough. Paired with a 3-speed manual transmission that's received new seals for continued service. A single 2-barrel carburetor handles fuel delivery, while power drum brakes bring this capable machine to a halt when needed. Standard belt drive cooling keeps temperatures in check during extended off-road sessions, and the exhaust system maintains factory specifications for optimal performance at any altitude.
