Youre seeing more and more Toyota FJ40s for saleand#44; and the reason is simple: the market is on the move! This 1967 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is way more than a Japanese Jeepand#44; and looks far more rough-and-ready than most with its lifted stanceand#44; traditional khaki paint joband#44; and functionaland#44; go-anywhere demeanor. Seeing an open-air FJ is not a common thingand#44; and when this very sturdy-looking 4x4 showed upand#44; it practically stopped traffic driving by our showroom. A lot of that is surely due to the Desert Beige paintand#44; which is flatand#44; not glossyand#44; yet still accentuates the blunt hood and super straight bodywork. The finish is nicer than youd expect for something designed to get dirty and scrape through the underbrushand#44; but its clear that this Toyota has led an easy life since getting a full makeover a few years ago. The blunt face has the characteristic close-set headlights and central grille openingand#44; painted white in this trucks caseand#44; which is how they typically came from the factory. Theres a simple front bumper with a heavy-duty winchand#44; a set of brush guards on the headlightsand#44; and stand-up parking lightsand#44; all of which give it a very function-over-form look thats quite endearing. Original badges have been reinstalled and with that beefy spare tire mounted out backand#44; this FJ looks ready for anything. Having served in every country on earthand#44; the Toyotas interior is purely about ruggedness rather than high fashionand#44; and thats perfectly OK here. Black bucket seats are actually comfortable enough for all-day slogs and theres a tubular roll bar overhead in case things take a turn for the worse. The gauges are cleverly fitted into an instrument panel that can be mounted on either side depending on where the Toyota is serving dutyand#44; and that long shifter handle manages a 3-speed manual gear box. There are no frills hereand#44; not even an AM radioand#44; although the back seat does offer some cozy accommodations for twoand#44; and the floors appear to have been covered with spray-in bedliner material thats ultra-tough. And for protectionand#44; theres the roll barand#44; matching tubular steel doorsand#44; and a bikini topand#44; just in case. Toyotas smoothand#44; torqueyand#44; and eminently reliable 235 cubic inch inline-six provides the motivation and if theres a more reliable machine on this planetand#44; it hasnt been invented yet. Designed to be easy to service and to work in the most extreme conditionsand#44; its surely up for a Saturday afternoon crawling along your favorite trail. Freshly rebuiltand#44; its not detailed for show under the hoodand#44; but its clean and functional with all the proper hardware for going where others fear to tread. It starts easily and pulls the truck around with vigorand#44; and thanks to the 2-speed transfer case and lift kit on the suspensionand#44; its perfectly happy to idle along at barely a crawland#44; ignoring obstacles as big as bowling balls. Theres a single exhaust pipe that gives the six a unique sound and there are a lot of new components underneathand#44; including Rough Country shocksand#44; a new front drive shaftand#44; rebuilt brakesand#44; among othersand#44; so its ready to enjoy. 15-inch steel wheels are finished in black with simple hubcaps and wrapped with giant 33x10.50-15 off-road radials that complete the butch look. If youre looking for a fun 4x4 thats not a Jeepand#44; or are interested in an off-roader thatll hold its value today and tomorrowand#44; then the Toyota FJ40 is always a smart choice. Call today! |
