The Ultimate in a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40!  *****************************************************  Please read carefully:  Up for auction is a completely restored and customized. 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Please continue to read for all the details.  
Please Note: The first few photos of the completed cruisers in this listing. are actually of "two different" Land Cruisers I've previously sold on Ebay and not the 1975 restored FJ40 for sale here. They are being shown simply as representation of exactly what the cruiser offered here will look like.  Please read on:
The 1975 Toyota FJ40 for sale here. is in it's final stages of being completed and will be available for delivery the end of February 2014. Normally. I've always completed a restoration before offering it for sale. I am listing this cruiser before final completion. due to a couple simple reasons. Honestly. I am invested in this project well beyond what I originally had planned. As you'll see in the photo presentation. every inch of this cruiser has been addressed and all work completed with care and quality detail. I simply need to secure a buyer before I invest another $15. 00 from my pocket. This cruiser will be set up exactly as those you see in the beginning photos.  Every bell and whistle possible is included while at the same time. being careful not to take away too much from the stock appearance that made these rigs so popular. The best of both worlds!  If it sells in this auction. I will be keeping the buyer informed with photos daily as to the progress…. Again. scheduled completion by the end of February 2014. That does depend on the buyer and if any special requests might want to be added. At this point. I am in the final re-assembly stage. however. I also am not too far. if a buyer might want a different color. different wheels. different tires. ect. . those are definitely a possibility and can be discussed if the sell price can justify the change. The only thing I won't change at this point. is the drive train. I am extremely confident in my work and all my restoration projects. If you'd like more details on exactly what this 1975 FJ40 project will include. please read the description below: 
On the Ground  This Land Cruiser will be equipped with new 35x12. 50x15 Goodyear MTR's mounted on new polished aluminum custom wheels with a matching spare mounted on the tire carrier on the rear. The leaf springs will be installed on top of the axles to provide a 5 inch lift (SOA). which will allow for the suspension to maintain the ride and handling as from the factory. All new shackles. shackle bushings. and greaseable bolts will be used on all leaf springs. Front and rear will be set up with all new power disc brakes. (rotors. calipers. pads. and master cylinder) along with all stainless steel brake lines.

Summary This is a total “FRAME OFF” restoration! Not a nut or bolt will be left untouched during this build. and most. will be replaced with stainless steel instead of the regular hardened steel hardware. I've tried to list everything to be included on this 1975 Land Cruiser restoration in this description. There are many other basic options that might not listed here. but will be part of the restoration. There are also other options that can be added that aren't listed. Those items. depending on what they are. can be discussed and possibly included as well. Please don't be afraid to ask any questions.  
Please remember. this project is not scheduled to be complete until next month. At that time. I will deliver for free within 500 miles of my home in Northern California.
A complete photo documentation of every detail of this build is available upon request. I will be happy to send you the link to that slideshow. Unfortunately. Ebay policy will not allow me to include it in this listing.
