1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

7/1984 FJ40 LX (NOT 1980 as listed. but Ebay does not realise that only America had the 17 digit VIN from 1981). I have owned her for 13 years. I bought her in Australia and we brought her to America with us when we moved here in 2013. In Australia she was my daily driver. but here she has always been a second car. She always lived in South Australia. which is a very dry part of Australia and has always been garaged. When we moved to the US we moved to New Mexico. where she has also always been garaged. We moved to Florida in July (where she remains garaged). and that is where she is now: not long enough to have suffered any ill effects from the relentless humidity-this is NOT a Florida car. she has no rust. She has 97. 00 miles and looks stunning. Since moving tot the States she has never been out in the rain or snow.  The frame is perfect with zero rust anywhere. ever. The doors bottoms. fenders. grille. etc have zero rust anywhere. This is a very. very clean Cruiser.

 The good: Air conditioning with brand new Toyota compressor. recent hoses and new evaporator.  It blows cool right now but not super cold. Power steering with synthetic ATF. H55 five speed which shifts perfectly in every gear with no grinding. very rare three wipers with factory intermittent function. Complete LX interior missing nothing with no tears or rips. Toyota tachometer. front quarter windows. rear sliding windows and roll bar. All new factory Toyota door weather stripping. front turn signal assemblies and hood hooks (all factory Toyota. not CCOT stuff).  CD player. Inclinometer. digital clock. Warn 8274-50 (I'll take $750 off winning bid if you don't want this included). OME springs with 33x10. 50x15 BF Goodrich ATs. K&N air filter. snorkel. all LED lights with Hella H4 headlamps. fully rebuilt brakes with new disks. V6 IFS calipers (larger pistons. far superior braking. factory fit with no modifications) and slave cylinders. Fully rebuilt axles with all new Toyota bearings on front and rear HJ61 axles with factory Toyota cable lockers. All recent tie rod ends. This truck drives and tracks like a new car. New Toyota clutch master and slave cylinders. Leather wrapped steering wheel. New front factory Toyota window felt. Factory A/C carb fully rebuilt by Jim Chenoweth. Transmission and transfer case shift perfectly and do not leak. the clutch engages perfectly and does not chatter. Filled with synthetic 75w90. Fully rebuilt rear drive shaft. Heated driver's seat. Brand new GM HEI distributor. Brand new stainless battery tray. Radiator was re-cored in 2015.

The not-so good: -Everything works on this car except for the windscreen squirter. The washer tank holds fluid. but the pump has packed it in.  The factory floor mat on the drivers'side has a small hole in it where my heel has worn through it.  

She drives like a new car and will not disappoint. I built her to keep her. I have owned many. many Cruisers ( I have been a member of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association since 1993 and am well known in the Land Cruiser community ) and she is by far my favourite.
