1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Description

This 1977 Toyota FJ40 takes the tough-as-nails Land Cruiser reputation and delvers it with added comfort with a well-done A/C interior. So if you like to get deeper into nature, but don't need to be fully roughing it, take a look at this capable and comfortable 4x4.

The Mustard Yellow paint with white roof gives this both a distinct and vintage first impression. There's a good shine for everyday appeal, but the finish is not for trailer queens, and so you won't cry if you brush up against a branch. After all, you can really tell this one was meant to be used the fullest. The tall stance gives an imposing look. Plus, the black elements look great against the yellow while showing off some beefy components. It starts up front with the ARB front bumper with brush guard and Warn winch. The sides have black 15-inch wheels and tall off-road tires. The rear gives you a trailer hitch bumper and another one of those full-size blackout wheels. The total look is an off-road ready vehicle where they also took the extra time to get the it looking good for the urban jungle.

Inside is the mix of the right care and some cool upgrades. For example, the front seats have been traded for more modern high-back buckets, so you get better all-day comfort. The rear seats have been upgraded to a nice bench, too. And these are covered in weather resistant vinyl which is particularly nice since these Land Cruisers have a fully removable hardtop. This has a well-done vintage style with the floor shifters, grippy three-spoke steering wheel, and classic full gauge panel. Even the 4x4 instructions are still affixed to the dash. There are some well-integrated upgrades, like a retro-style AM/FM stereo with an aux input for your iPod, and between the seats is a Tuffy lock box center console. And even when you're open to the world, it's quite nice to have the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning.

When you lift the hood, you get the unmistakable look of the long block of Toyota's inline six, and this is the era of the larger 4.2-liter. It's a true torque king, and this one fires up and runs with the kind of gusto you want in a Land Cruiser. The four-speed manual transmission gives you firm control over the motor. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you can spot the two-speed transfer case and both beefy axles looking good. So this 4x4 is absolutely ready for off-road duty. Plus, with features like power steering, power brakes, and front discs, this one has great features for the street and trail.

Terrific off road features, and all the best upgrades meet in a hardy 4x4 icon. That's why this FJ40 is everything you want, and it's ready to run right nw. Call today!!!
