1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 – build date 10/73.
Original F.5 engine w/ 3 speed.
I have owned for right at 20 years – rescued from a ranch in South Texas where it had sat in a covered barn at least 10+ years. Odometer broke shortly after I got it. Currently reads 80,444 and I bet I haven’t put more than 1,500 miles on it in the last 20 years.
The good: Great body. Interior has a DIY bedliner in it, but there is no rust at all.
No hard top, but do have the original doors, no glass in them, but all the hardware is available.
Over my ownership, I have base-lined all fluids (several times). Regular oil changes. New clutch master & slave. Brakes redone with new master cylinder, vacuum booster and wheel cylinders all the way around...
