1974 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 -- an original off road machine! Electronic Fuel Injected Chevy 350 V8, Auto Transmission, Front Disc Brakes, Front/Rear Lockers, Power Steering, Roll cage, SOA lift, Super Swampers, & much more!! It spent the first 30 years in sunny rust - free California before I bought her in 2004. I've kept it garaged in Texas ever since. I bought this FJ as a project and have spent a decade putting it together the right way and making sure everything works. It's the perfect combination of power, EFI reliability, smooth steering, excellent braking, and awesome-ness! You won't believe that a 1974 truck this size can drive, stop, and steer this well. It runs like a champ and can go anywhere. She's conquered Moab, the Rubicon trail, Katemcy Rocks, Barnwell, and a ton of places in between.

Fuel injected TBI conversion by “Affordable fuel injection” with optional ALDL computer port for diagnostics and “check engine” light tied into the ECM that can be used to pull trouble codes – on dash next to ARB switch see pics. TBI completely rebuilt 11/2013, gas tank removed/cleaned, new fuel pump/filter/FI lines.

I keep the parking brake well adjusted and have always set it with the Land Cruiser in neutral without any problems. Toyota 4 Speed Transfer Case Advanced Adapters – 700R4 transmission to Toyota transfer case adapter JTO T-Case saver – Gusset plate to strengthen transfer case housing Steering/Suspension Power Steering conversion (Saginaw) with brand new gear box – super smooth turning Steering Stabilizer Spring Over Axle (SOA) lift with extended heavy duty shackles (sits about 7 inches taller thanstock FJ40), rides great on road and has incredible flex off road All new tire rod/relay rod ends For an FJ40 this size it drives straight and stops on a dime Has 5 Massive Super Swampers – 35 x 15 x 15!! On 15 x 10 black steel wheels. Custom full size spare mount on rear. Axles/Brakes Toyota Axles with 4:10 gears, front disc brakes, front/rear lockers ARB front air locker with dash mounted switch, & Powertank CO2 Supply Tank – excellent 100% “on-demand” traction with open differential when off Powertrax Lock-Right fully automatic rear locker – incredibly reliable traction off-road with impressive on-road characteristics. Automatically disengages when turning with minimal noise. Truthfully, you don’t even notice it until you need it – then it’s perfect traction. Disc Brake conversion on front axle. New Larger/stronger brake booster (T100) – see pics New Master cylinder upgrade (FJ80) – see pics STOPS LIKE CHAMP! Interior/Exterior/Electrical Recaro Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses. Driver’s seat adjusts front to back, passenger’s seat is fixed Full Roll Cage Entire tub is Bed Lined, as well as, roll cage, wheel wells, front fenders, diamond plate rear corner guards & front/rear bumpers Newer style front windshield (1978) with electric wipers instead of older vacuum style Newer style (1975-1981) FJ40 Turn Signals (gives it the “signature FJ40” look) All lights, turn signals, brake lights work – except reverse lights Factory lower rear metal half doors – does not have upper rear hatchThese are not installed because the spare tire mount sits thereISSUESThere are, currently, no known mechanical problems with this cruiser. It runs, drives, stops, and steers like it should. The reverse lights don't work and I've never messed with them b/c it passes TX inspection without them. The speedometer works, but I cannot verify it's accuracy with the tires/lift/gears/etc. The odometer stopped at 95,999 long before I got it. I just repaired the sending unit for the gas tank b/c it always showed 1/2 tank when low - I haven't filled it back up to make sure it's working yet. It has aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges that work well. I've replaced any leaking gaskets over the years and as of now everything is dry underneath. The gaskets do require occasional replacing and you'll know it's time by any drips. If the winning bidder is interested, I can include a full Hard Top with glass and both factory front doors – from a donor FJ40 – they’ve never been installed on this Landcruiser and need a bit of TLC to restore them. I never pursued them because I think it looks better without the top/doors. This Landcruiser runs/drives great and is a beast of a truck. I’m moving out of state and can’t take an extra vehicle, so I’ve got to let her go. For a cruiser this size, it drives very straight, stops on a dime, and turns with minimal effort. It’s taken years to work the bugs of steering, driving, stopping – but this one’s got the right combination! The body/chassis are in great shape, but it has been used for the reason it was built. As such, there are little dings and nicks here and there. This has been a labor of love, as you can see from the build list and pictures. I’ve treated her gently and never hammered that V8 through the drive train at full bore, as a result I’ve never had major breakage and everything has held up well. It is still a 40 year old vehicle and, although well cared for, will require attention from time to time. If you’re looking for a beauty pageant winner, this isn’t it. However, if you’d like an awesome FJ40 that can go anywhere without the iconic $100k price tag, then you’ve found it! I’ve put a ton of time and money into this FJ, and don’t expect to get it all back. I started this project to enjoy it and now it’s time for someone else to do the same. Contact me if you’d like to see it, hear it, or drive it.
