FJ43 1978 RUST FREE. Lots of pictures and video

1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 For Sale.

This Toyota spent all its life in a dry eather where trucks are prone to rust less and much lower mileage than American trucks.
This truck was originally bought in 1978 by my friend in Colombia whom I am sellling the truck for. he originally bouht this truck to tow his recently aquired boat at that time and that was the main purpose of its use. As the years went by and the situation got worse due to safety reasons. my friend was not able to use his truck anymore for the fear of getting the truck stolen. The years went by and the truck sat on a covered garage at his house in Bogota. a dry weather city that has never had snow. A few months ago my frien decided to bring the truck over to the US and asked me to help him sell it. the truck has been stored at my house in Ft Lauderdale. FL for the last month. It is a very fun truck to drive and I am sure that the person that aquires it will end up with a great condition never restored truck.
The truck has original paint. has never been repainted and is rust free. it has no mechanical problems. rides great. it has new tires. it has the factory original primer undercarriage from 1978 never retouched. This one being FJ43 is even more rare than the others. The body is slightly larger and it gives a better stance than the fj40. The 2F engine. transmission and differentials are the same.
This particular truck features. 4. 10 gears. 4 speed tranmission and very good condition hard top with luggage rack. These Toyota trucks had better and prettier doors and overall better desing. they also appreciate in value the best. My friend has own this truck since new and has never driven it hardcore off road. it has small scratches and normal wear from being driven. The next owner can take it up a gravel road or city driver.
The 2F engines along with the 3F engines are the best Toyota gasoline engines. This truck is very reliable and strong

BODY
This truck is completely rust free. All the panels are clean and steel. There are no funny aluminum pieces on this truck. FJ40's are notorious for rust. it is incredible to find rust free trucks like this.
The body is true and straight with no hidden rust. or the common ugly black gravel lining paint underneath of the car to cover rust. The paint is beautiful and shinny. it has 2 small dents that happened during transportation (one in the hood and the other in the front fender. see pictures) This truck looks much better in person than in the pictures. Original Toyoa mats are in perfect shape. Seats have never been upholstered and they look like new.
The interior is very clean and in excellent shape. everything works as it should. It has a rare larger jump seats. 6 people can fit  comfortable in this truck. Tools and jack are included.
No heather on this truck. it came like this from factory but one can be easily sourced and installed if needed for colder states.
There are no leaks inside when it is raining

MECHANICALS
This FJ43 has a stock Toyota inline 2F motor with excelent compression that burns clean. It is a low kilometer truck. only 45. 42 original kilometers which is about 28. 00 ORIGINAL miles. These engines are known to go over 500. 000 miles easy.
I recently changed all the filters. coolant and oil. The clutch. 4 speed trans and case all operate perfectly. Brakes are in good shape.
Original 16 in. wheels with new tires. There are no aftermarket installations. therefore no splits on the electrical harness or electrical headaches.
There are no issues with this truck. this is the type of Toyota you want to buy. honest. rust free stock original.
