The 40-series Toyota Land Cruiser made its debut in 1960 and drove into the hearts and minds of millions around the world until the last one rolled off the line in 1984. This rarely seen FJ-43, 4-wheel drive, all-terrain icon, underwent a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration from the crankshaft surround to the bumper guards. The middle wheelbase FJ-43 sat in between the short-wheelbase FJ-40 and the FJ-45 pickup with more room behind the front seats. A beige canvas soft top with new bows keeps cargo and passengers out of the elements, and the semi-long body wears factory Olive Green paint.
Pulling the hold-downs and lifting the hood reveals a rebuilt 4.2L inline 6-cylinder 2F engine that put the F in FJ-43. The famously durable engine is finished to a high level of original detail from the iron block and aluminum overhead-camshaft cylinder head to a full complement of factory-correct zinc chromate plated fasteners and clamps. The mighty 2F is backed by 4-speed manual transmission with a dual-range transfer case and Aisin manual front locking hubs to get power down on or off the road. An aluminum radiator helps keep temperature under control, and power steering handles any terrain with hydraulically assisted ease.
Authentic durability continues into the tri-tone cabin with orange door panels and seat upholstery over front and rear brown rubber floor coverings with beige piping. Rear jump seats bump up passenger capacity or fold up for cargo capacity. New switches and decals join a 160 KPH speedometer in the body-color dash. Air conditioning is welcome upgrade on hot days under the canvas top in the spartan eight-passenger interior. The restored FJ-43 Land Cruiser is ready to conquer the earth on gunmetal-finish steel wheels with Firemax tires and a matching full-size rear-mount spare.
