1978 FJ40 (Manufacture date Dec 1977, maybe it's a 77)
138,920 Original miles
This is one of the most original, unmolested, Colorado cruisers still alive. I have the original key and owners manual. Classic cruiser patina as shown. Front discs and 4 on the floor. Frame is absolutely solid. Motor runs smooth and strong. Warn hubs. Four wheel is awesome. I aquired this, my 6th cruiser to date, and planned on driving it another 100,000 miles but soon adopted a 71 fj40 which needs my love. I know landcruisers and this one is a gem. I have owned it for about a year and it took great care of my family through the last Leadville winter. Has excellent snow tires. The known issues; always goes into 2nd, but not as smoothly as other 40's, oil and temp gages not working (motor does have great oil pressure (tested it when I got it) and runs cool), needs driver side ext door handle (comes with new part, you install), needs side view mirrors (jack and hitch stay in Leadville). The truck is on fj60 rims, has an fj60 alternator and fj60 gear reduction starter. If you don't want the motor, $4,450. Very serious landcruiser collectors only. Slightly better original 40's go for twice the listed price. Please check ebay as this one will be listed there by next weekend if I still have it.
