1976 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Expedition Vehicle On/off Road Fj 40 Fj-40 on 2040-cars

Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1976 FJ40. This truck was built to be an expedition vehicle meaning it can be driven on paved roads comfortably, while being capable off-road. Many off-road builds go too far losing the ability to be driven on paved roads at highway speeds. This truck cruises very safely at 65mph.  There are high dollar components in this build, this truck is solid. The truck is turn-key, ready to enjoy now.  We spent a lot of time and money on this one. I kept all the factory emissions equipment on this FJ40.

I have 110 pictures on a photobucket link below, check out my builds on the link all stock to wild. I have 4-6  FJ40’s for sale on eBay or coming up from a stock restorable rig to an original paint stock daily driver.

MECHANICAL

The 2F inline 6 was rebuilt a couple years ago with performance in mind. This is one of the best running 2F’s I’ve had, pulls like a stock small block. We just adjusted the valves, adjusted and set everything. OE carburetor built for off-road. Electronic ignition, Optima battery.  Mudrak 2 1/2 ton power steering with cooler. The steering box is adjustable ratio, I set it in the middle for good highway manners, you can adjust it to make it turn quicker for off-road very easily, with a wrench and allen key.  1 finger turn steering, 33 in tires with excellent tread on aluminum wheels, full size spare.  Fine spline axles, 4.10 geared the real deal only made 76-78, front disc brakes. Entire brake system just rebuilt. Exhaust is perfect, couple years old. HFS 4 in lift kit with greasable shackles. This is the complete lift with new springs etc. best out there right with OME. Camber correction kit. New springs mounts, front bumper with winch, all welded to perfection, you will not break a weld on this truck. GM 465 4 speed transmission, heavy duty clutch, to Orion 4to1 transfer case.  With the Orion case and bulletproof GM trans, lowest gear barely moves, great for off-roading. Con-Ferr roof rack with HELLA off-road lights. Con-Ferr made the best FJ40 stuff until they went out of business, this rack with 3 cross-bars can hold a lot of weight.  CB radio and antenna. Original AM radio.

BODY

The body on is solid.  There are minor surface rust spots from scratches and overall use, we buffed the exterior and the surface rust spots to seal and protect. Everything opens and shuts as it should, the hard top has pop out windows for summer ventilation. Factory roll bar and rear jump seats. The front seats are in excellent shape, came out of a Honda. On non-stock vehicles, I usually replace the front seats for comfort and fabric so no burned ass in the summer.  The original dome light has been changed out to a much brighter unit that is actually effective at night. The body is in overall great shape speaking FJ40, but not so nice it becomes a trailer queen. Rock guards on the tail lights, heavy duty tow package.

MY OPINION

This is a well built FJ40. If you want a truck to drive on and off road that still looks good and still resembles a FJ40 this is for you.  Building a truck like this from stock form would cost twice the price I will sell it for and will take some time. This truck is ready to go right now.  The money has been spent on the mechanical upgrades, this is not a cosmetically perfect truck , not built that way. If you plan on using this truck, that was my intention, if you want a mint original, I build them that way as well, but not this one. I built this truck for a true sportsman.

I will have 4-6 FJ40’s for sale on eBay right now or coming up soon, keep watching!

I require a $1500 non-refundable deposit immediately after auction conclusion. The rest wire transfer or cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction.  I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I welcome 3^rd party inspections during the auction, winning is not 1^st chance to look. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me in the phone book. I have a shipping broker whom I trust, will pass his info to you, he only does lower 48, I can get this to Alaska Hawaii or other countries as well.  Payment will be made to my business.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time for any reason, I will consider serious offers.
