N. Kansas City FJ40... anyone know this vehicle

[jworth94]

Looking to find out if anyone here is familiar with this FJ40.

It looks nice in the pictures. I suppose expert offroad did the majority of the work?

Is that a comment on the LC's bezel?

If it's slang, I'm not on here enough to know what you're talking about.

It is also listed on CL 1977 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser 4X4!_____MUST SEE!_____ROCK SOLID!_______ ,with some more information.
The only thing I can tell you it is a relisting, I have seem a 60 and another 40 with this dealership before.

Thanks, that's helpful. I guess if it's been relisted than there's an issue with it? Maybe another member had a chance to look at it and will provide some more insight.

To start I'm a newbie, so its hard to say too much.

I drove this FJ40 2 weeks ago, and ultimately decided it wasn't for me.

The pictures looked pretty nice, but this is what I noticed:

1. Emblems missing all the way around.
2. Paint job was a Macco special.
3. Rubber seals are rotten all the way around. Doors / Windows Etc.
4. Rear passenger side of body was full of body putty.
5. Clunked into gears, unless you completely babied the clutch. The dealer said this was a minor issue, and that they could get it fixed easily.
6. Stearing Wheel stayed turned far right when going straight except when brakes are applied.
7. Horn Didn't work
8. Radio didn't work
9. Head lights are VERY dim - maybe some sort of electrical issue?
10. Spedometer didn't work.

Again - I'm not a mechanic, and really don't know what I'm looking at. These are just the items I noticed. I decided I was interested in spending more money on a vehicle that was more "turn key"

I hope this helps.

I think the comment on the bezel....was maybe that the bezel would be right side up if the FJ was upside down?????

Again I'm a newbie...just learning!
