Click here to see many photos of this 1978 Land Cruiser You won't find another FJ40 like this one. This truck is on consignment with Land Cruiser Nation. I sold it to the current owner and I personally owned it myself. Having owned and driven scores of FJ40 I can honestly say this one takes the cake! Attention to details is obvious at a glance and even more apparent on close inspection. It's a drop dead gorgeous Land Cruiser that is excessively high quality, tough and functional. This FJ40 was originally shipped to Puerto Rico and then on to Colombia. She was owned by a gentleman that worked for the American Embassy and was eventually rebuilt by hand before being shipped home to TX. Always garage kept and runs as good as it looks, this FJ40 has been driven about 6,000 miles since receiving a complete frame-off restoration by skilled artisans at a premier Land Cruiser shop in Colombia. Every inch of this truck was well thought out and built to outlast it's owners. The current owner continued that tradition by upgrading the suspension to the state-of-the-art Old Man Emu springs and matching shocks.
