1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
F155 motor, four speed manual.
Probably over 100k miles, no way of knowing since odometer broke at 56,000. Therefore assume 156,000 minimum.
Recently replaced clutch, cylinder head, oil pan, front axle seals and brakes. Radiator replaced 4 years ago. Starts easily and runs very smooth. Solid truck, drives straight. Rear differential will need replacement, there’s a bit of play when the clutch is engaged too quickly so it clunks slightly-go easy and it’s not a problem. Price reflects this fact.

The Classic FJ40, ready for the next chapter in it’s journey. I’ve put in a few thousand just getting acquainted with this machine. From what I know this rig has spent most of it’s life in the desert southwest-I found evidence of it staying in Arizona for a time. As you can see from the photos, the hard top is suspect as usual, one bad rust spot on the passenger side as is obvious. PO painted it over, doing a decent job, and there are the standard rust areas/bondo patches at the rear sill and corners. Look at the photos, if you are a FJ40 enthusiast you know exactly what I mean. That being said, the rust does seem to be mostly surface, looking from the backside of the body everything is intact. Solid frame, axles, etc. Spring suspension is stock and it drives that way! But get her off road and everything changes-FJ40 loves dirt! So this is an excellent foundation for a future build. The rig was in one obvious collision in the past, passenger front, fender was crumpled and the B-pillar impacted. See photos, I am showing everything so you can see what’s what. The right front frame rail was bent very slightly but as mentioned before, the truck drives straight and the suspension and steering linkage was not bent. Recently journeyed through the axle rebuild and did all the seals, bearings, front brakes, etc. The rig sits in front of my house except for annual trips to the desert for mild off-roading. I do not thrash it, and by the looks of it this ride has not been as thrashed as some. A few nicks and dings on the skid plates below, and I replaced the oil pan which had a good ding in it as noted above. Asking price is $7,500.00.
