The 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is renowned for its ruggedness and reliability, a hallmark of Toyota's engineering during this era. This particular year it marked a significant point in the FJ40's history, as it was during this period that Toyota started to increase the comfort and drivability of these vehicles without compromising their off-road capabilities.
This V8 powered FJ40 has numerous upgrades and is finished in a classic Cobalt Blue with a white roof. Sitting on a mild lift kit, it sits on black KMC Mesa 18-inch wheels with BF Goodrich KO2 255/70R18 AT tires. Additional exterior improvements include a rear-mounted matching spare wheel and tire, Warn winch on the front bumper plate, rear step with hitch receiver and upgraded headlights. The beautifully restored black interior features comfortable bucket seats, dual rear seats, high-quality digital gauges, retro style AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and JL speakers and a console with lockbox.
