1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Don't miss out on this one! I have owned this FJ for the past 10 years and it has
given me nothing but happiness and no problems. I will give a little history, at least what I know, and was told
when I purchased it. I bought this from a gentleman in the Atlanta, GA area back in 2006. He told me that this FJ
came from CA and was owned previously by a director or producer in the L.A. area. I have never researched this so I
can not confirm or deny this story. The previous owner had it painted the Olive Brown color that it is today along
with the black undercarriage. This FJ was originally light blue. There is no rust or body filler on the body that I
can find which tells me this truck came from the west. So the CA story may be true. The fenders, wheel wells, floor
pans, ambulance doors and rear sill are all solid as you can also see in the pictures. This is a solid reliable
vehicle that has not been molested as you can see by the pictures. Over the years I have repaired anything that
needed attention and also added the OME suspension. A perfect candidate to keep driving as I have been doing or a
clean slate for a restoration. It always starts right up and shifts through the gears smoothly. The 4WD works as it
should and this thing is almost unstoppable in low range 4WD. Some other features of this FJ are listed below;
Garage kept while in my ownership
Original 4.2 liter straight six engine
Original emission controls
4 speed transmission
New front disc brakes
Rear drum brakes
Air conditioner. Toyota compressor and different blower unit.
Old Man EMU front and rear springs, shocks and steering stabilizer.
Front winch with remote.
Gauges work as they should.
Engine compression last time I checked (about a year ago) ranged from 145-147 per cylinder
New brake master cylinder and fluid flush.
Fresh oil change and radiator flush.
Stereo with amp and 2 rear speakers attached to roll bar. Aux cord to play tunes from your phone.
Locking center console which is nice when you take the top off.
