Purchased in December of 2007 and towed home behind my 100 series, this truck has been serviced and used on a regular basis. I bought this truck to learn more about working on cars and to have cool vehicle for me and my boys to drive. This FJ40 has been seriously upgraded and improved so that it is dependable and fun to drive. Most of the work has been documented on the Rising Sun 4X4 Club in the General Tech sub-forum - just do an advanced search for all threads started by RicardoJM for details - ignore the threads where I was working on someone else’s rig.
In addition to the wardrobe components above, here is a list of the upgrades/improvements that have been done over the 6 years I've owned this FJ40 and are included in the sale...
Engine Accessories upgraded/replaced over the 6 years include;
What it needs:
Literally, this is a pull the choke, pump twice, turn the key and drive FJ40. As a 1971 model, it is a Colorado collector plates eligible and emissions exempt. The upgrades really improve the driving experience and while keeping the cruiser "Toyota True" and "Toyota reliable".
