🧰 Description Overview
This 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is a beautifully restored example that embodies the rugged capability and timeless appeal of Toyota’s most iconic off-roader. Offered by its third owner, this FJ40 spent its entire life in California before being acquired in June 2012. It has since undergone an impressive three-year, nut-and-bolt restoration, completed with exceptional attention to detail and documented in a 34-page build thread on IH8MUD.com.
The restoration involved removing the tub and stripping all panels to bare metal, ensuring that every surface was refinished and protected to factory standards. The original engine and transmission were retained and rebuilt, preserving the vehicle’s authenticity while ensuring modern reliability and smooth performance.
Every component of this Land Cruiser has been rebuilt, refinished, or replaced, including suspension, drivetrain, and braking systems. A bare-metal repaint in the original factory color showcases the vehicle’s flawless bodywork, while the factory disc brakes and 4-speed manual transmission provide confident control on and off the road.
Enhancements include an Old Man Emu suspension system for improved ride quality and capability, and the iconic Warn 8274 winch has been retained as a nod to its classic utilitarian roots.
