Globe-conquering 4-wheel drive capability and legendary durability make the 40-series Toyota Land Cruiser one of the most popular all-terrain vehicles of all time, and this professionally restored 1980 FJ-40 is ready for its next excursion. The 40-series Land Cruiser launched in 1960, and Toyota made incremental improvements to the platform until the end of the line in 1984. The extensive restoration brought the off-road icon back to its factory-issue setup from the powertrain out to the hubcaps. The Land Cruiser is powered by a Toyota 2F-series 4.2L inline 6-cylinder engine equipped with a new cylinder head to make 135 HP and 200 lb-ft torque.

Power gets out to all four wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission with dual-range transfer case. Heavy-duty leaf springs and shock absorbers keep front and rear solid axles in contact on or off the road. Front disc and rear drum brakes help modulate traction. Gray-finish bumpers with guards and a radiator protector work together for exterior protection. FJ-40 design changed little over the near 25-year production run, and the hardtop body was refinished with a white roof and Mustard Yellow paint. White-finish side mirrors and headlight surround along with new marker lights and badging accent timeless style.

New rubber gaskets and weather stripping keep noise and the elements out of the interior. Textured vinyl door panels and matching front seat upholstery add comfort and ambulance-style rear doors open up to folding bench seats with a roll cage for passenger protection. The no-nonsense dashboard features a U.S.-market instrument panel with 80 MPH speedometer over oil pressure, fuel, temperature and ammeter gauges. The Land Cruiser waits for its next driver to take hold of the restored steering wheel and power over everything on rugged steel wheels and TrXus STS tires with a matching spare.
