For sale: 7/1984 FJ40 LX. I have owned her for 12 years. I bought her in Australia and we brought her to America with us when we moved here in 2013. In Australia she was my daily driver, but here she has always been a second car. She always lived in South Australia, which is a very dry part of Australia and has always been garaged. When we moved to the US we moved to New Mexico, where she has also always been garaged. We moved to Florida two weeks ago, and that is where she is now: not long enough to have suffered any ill effects from the relentless humidity. She has 97,000 miles and looks stunning.
The good:
Very minimal rust. A very small amount just starting at the rear sill.
Air conditioning with brand new Toyota compressor (though it still needs to be charged. . I prefer taking the roof and doors off when it's warm so air con has never been a priority )
Power steering with synthetic ATF
Five speed
Three wipers with factory intermittent function
Full LX interior with no tears
Tachometer
Front quarter Windows, rear sliding Windows
Roll bar
Tinted glass
All new door weather stripping
CD player
Inclinometer
Digital clock
Warn 8274-50
OME springs with 33x10.50x15 BF Goodrich ATs
K&N air filter
Snorkel
All LED lights with Hella H4 headlamps
Fully rebuilt brakes with new disks, calipers and slave cylinders
Fully rebuilt axles with all new Toyota bearings on front and rear HJ61 axles with factory Toyota cable lockers
All new tie rod ends. This truck drives and tracks like a new car
New clutch master and slave cylinders
Leather wrapped steering wheel
New front window felt
Factory carb fully rebuilt by Jim Chenoweth
Runs great on either petrol/gasoline or gas/LPG
Transmission and transfer case shift perfectly and do not leak. Filled with synthetic 75w90
Absolutely stunning aluminium roof rack by awl-TEQ
Receiver hitch and trailer wiring
Fully rebuilt rear drive shaft
Heated driver's seat
Brand new GM HEI distributor
Brand new stainless battery tray
The not-so good:
-The cable lockers work great but I have not yet hooked them up to the interior handles
-The engine leaks a bit of oil from the rear main seal and uses a minimal amount but runs really well
-Everything works on this car except for the windscreen squirter. The tank holds fluid, but the pump has packed it in.
-the factory floor mat on the drivers'side has a small hole in it where my heel has worn through it
-the seat belt on the drivers' side is beginning to fray
I am asking $25,500 for her. She drives like a new car and will not disappoint. I built her to keep her and have a tremendous amount of memories in her. I have owned many, many Cruisers and she is by far my favourite. Unfortunately, family circumstances are such that I must sell her and this is to your advantage. I did not import her to sell her nor did I build her on the cheap to sell her. This was my Cruiser to keep for life and hand down to my son. Sadly, he and I will have to build another one day. She is located in Vero Beach, Florida and can be driven by appointment. I strongly encourage you to have her checked out, but I am confident any mechanic will be impressed (not withstanding the above-mentioned oil leaks). This is the last and the very best Land Cruiser Toyota ever built.
