- This rare and unique FJ started its life as a Chassis and Motor that were purchased at a DEA Auction. – This truck was originally used to run drugs across the desert, which is how it ended up as property of the DEA.
- The Body is an Imported Very Rare Australian Soft Top - Hence the tie downs along the rear body and the drop-down tailgate.
- Originally came with soft doors but hinges were swapped to accommodate hard top doors and hard top.
- This unique Australian FJ40 Body is equipped with 2 gas tanks – extends driving range considerably and helps you from running out of gas!
