Taking the essence of the famed WWII era jeep, Toyota produced the Land Cruiser FJ40 series utility vehicle from 1960 to 1984. It is also an evolution of the Toyota BJ series trucks. With the gradual progression of functional improvements and upgrades over the years, the FJ40 Land Cruiser was the bestselling Toyota within two years of importation. This particular example of the 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 raises the bar with a staggering build sheet. Currently located in California, this unique, custom-built Cruiser features a Chevy 350CI V8 engine, among other upgrades.
Arguably the first thing you will notice on this Land Cruiser is the custom-built Stinger front bumper, which carries a Smittybilt XRC 9,500 lb winch with a nylon rope mounted on the front end. Other custom built features include body guards, sliders, steps, a new Bikini soft top, and a multi-point roll bar. The original metal exterior on this Land Cruiser is painted in white, and it offers two sets of doors that can be removed for that open-air experience. Old Man Emu 2" lift springs and Ranchero RS9000 shocks take care of the ride height, which is another imposing feature of this FJ40. This Cruiser rides on 35" BFG mud terrain tires and Pro Comp wheels with matching spare with disc brakes on all four wheels. Under the body, a front shackle reversal kit is included, extending the wheelbase by 2 inches by moving the front axle forward. This FJ40 features KC Spotlights, undercarriage lights, and LED rear taillights, making it ideal for late- night off-roading. Additionally, it features a swing put basket and CB radio antenna, holder. The interior, finished in black, is fitted with sport bucket seats with lap belts, a CB radio, and a heater unit, which is a rare option. It also includes Stewart Warner gauges and a tilt wheel steering column.
The engine in our 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has had some serious modifications put into it. The Chevy 350CI V8 small-block engine is equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold, HEI distributor, electronic fan, and a Holley truck avenger carb. The power is sent to the wheels via a GM turbo 400 3 speed automatic transmission. It features 4.10 gear front and rear axles, a Lock- Right front locker, and a Detroit rear locker. Furthermore, a 4.0:1 low gear Orion transfer case, Hurst electronic brake lock, Power brakes with adjustable dampening, and power steering is fitted to this FJ40 Land Cruiser. If that wasn't already a boatload, as a bonus, recent maintenance was done on the spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, shock bushings, front seal, rear main seal, engine, and trans pan gaskets.
Success in the automotive world depends on being consistent, the consistency that's present over decades. The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those machines that has been consistent throughout the decades, built to conquer anything in its path; being behind the wheel of a Land Cruiser, regardless of its generation, is a driving experience that can never be replicated. Present today is this 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60; this Japanese legend has a reported 202,269 miles on the clock. That's not all; it's lovingly been taken care of and is an original Land Cruiser in every aspect.
Nothing compares to the feeling of being able to ride higher than the majority of vehicles on the road. A Land Cruiser, with its tall platform and go-anywhere attitude, suits this role unlike any other. What we are offering you here is a beautiful ‘80s icon code-named the FJ60, also known as the Toyota Samurai. Regardless of having 180,000 miles on its odometer, this brute is in immaculate condition, with the current owner reporting it as mostly being in stock. The 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 had to fit into a market where the SUV type was booming, and as a result, it was built bigger with ample cabin space. This makes an excellent recipe for a 4-wheel drive or an overlanding vehicle.
Venturing off the beaten path requires a motor that is fit to brave the odds and power through anything in its path. For years, Toyota and its range of Land cruisers have been at the forefront of dominating the great outdoors. Looking back at the success of the legendary Land Cruiser marque, one can draw its roots back to the iconic Toyota BJT20. Built to compete with the famous Willy's Jeep for military use in the Korean War, the Toyota BJT20 is a big part of Toyota's history and a rare bird within the collector car market. Present today is a unicorn of the off-road world that takes shape with this lovely 1953 Toyota BJT20. With just a reported 5,000 miles since its restoration, this is the genesis of Toyota's off-roading history and is also reliable classic car ownership neatly packaged as one.
