This 1980 FJ40 came from Lubbock, TX and was sold to a gentlemen in Texarkana, TX in the spring of 2018.  At tat time she was an original, unmodified last-generation FJ40 with a solid original drivetrain, 77k miles and a recent Old Man Emu suspension installation.  The new owner wanted to add A/C and power steering so those parts were sourced and installed from Vintage Air and Iron Pig Off-Road, as well as de-smog kit and removal of the emissions.  She also underwent a tuneup, new brake pads and all belts were replaced. 

​

Safari Classics of Hot Springs, AK performed a full frame-off, glass out restoration of the paint and body.  This included all new hardware, OEM weatherstripping, windshield, nut and bolt body hardware (exterior stainless), and undercoating. Many other new parts and  OEM Toyota accessories were also purchased like mirrors, latches, door handles, etc. 

 

She was prepped and painted in base coat / clear coat in er otiginal color.  Sound deadening and a new form fitting floor mat was sourced and a Tuffy console with bluetooth stereo receiver and new custom mounted speakers were added. 

 

A pre-owned period correct Warn 8274 winch was installed and new BFG KM3 Mud Terrain 33x10.50s were mounted on period correct Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 steel white spoke wheels with center caps. 

 

The AC blows COLD, and the power steering makes her very easy to drive.  She has the later model 3:70 gearing and will cruise comfortably at 65 MPH. Four wheel drive works well, and all the gears shift smooth. I just added a new Die Hard battery in July 2024 and the truck just had $2,260 worth of engine and brake work. Compression reads 140 to 150 across all cylinders. ​
