1969 Fj40 Options (1 Viewer)

[CapriCruiser]

I am new to Mud and this is my first post so please forgive my ignorance. I look forward to becoming a Landcruiser owner soon. I am in high school and I am looking at this for my first vehicle.

I’ve been considering the purchase of a Fj40. I particularly like the 1969. I’ve done numerous searches but can’t seem to find what different body styles were available. Or, what options if any. Does the 69’ come with a hard top? If not, can one be fitted to it correctly?

I have a 1969, all original, USA spec. Yes , it came with a hardtop. I am curious why you like the 1969 ?

Thanks for the quick reply. I found a 1969 locally and it has my interest. I am not set on 1969 but it has the classic look I’m going for.

Dude just be aware Fj40s are dude magnets no necessarily chick magnets just saying.

These vehicles came to USA up until 1983. Please research here on timeline evolution as the 1970s a lot of changes were had. And not all were good. The 1969 is one solid rig, the 1975/1976 being perhaps the best of the lot. Reason is steel vs. drivetrain. One improved, the other not so much.

If you like the looks of a '69 you'll like the looks of all the '40's. I was un aware of the subtle changes until
I got my '75.......25 years ago.

However, The chicks that dig the FJ40 might be fewer but will be of much better quality than the girls that dig that other brand.

Just be aware that many cruisers are mixing parts from different years. I’ve seen numerous FJ40’s with the later front bib & rectangular headlight bezel.

Thanks for the input. I’ll male sure to ask the seller about that.
