Asking $33,500
I purchased this 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 in 2020. The previous owner had acquired the truck in AZ, and completed a frame-off restoration from 04-11.
Upgrades: Ron Davis radiator and transmission cooler. 4″ lift springs, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and Flaming River slip style drive shaft and recent front and rear U-joint replacement. It was professionally rewired in the fall of 2020. A kill switch was added at that time as well as a USB port in the dash for peace of mind. 2022 - custom camshaft from Delta Camshaft installed and new lifters.
Equipment includes a removable hardtop on the River Blue body, Warn locking front hubs, custom front bumper/winch plate and 4PlusProducts rear bumper with a swing-away cargo basket and receiver hitch, modern head and taillights, 35” BFG mud terrain tires and matching spare. Corbeau seats. Cruiser Corps front and rear cargo mats. Also included in the sale: new headliner, various spare parts, finishing emblems, and fasteners. California Car Covers custom cover. Two new 20L Wavian gas cans.
A set of aftermarket, primed, rear split doors and weatherstripping will be included. The specifics on the split door project are included in this forum post : '72 FJ40 Barn doors / Hinge bolt inaccessibility question - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/72-fj40-barn-doors-hinge-bolt-inaccessibility-question.1228264/ . I found the doors to be very tight in a test fit after successfully trying a couple Rivnuts for the hinges as suggested. The wood was a temporary fix until testing body fit became a possibility/priority.
The body shows signs of rust around contact points and near the lift gate that are visible in the images. Weatherstripping is 8/10 overall, mainly rear driver side window is what I would replace next. Stock heater works great. Drivers window mechanics are sticky, and door and hatch locks are present but without keys.
I’m selling due to a garage conversion. She’s such a beauty and deserves to be indoors!
