1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This is an outstanding example of a restored FJ40. Body Overview:Most of the hinges and body panels were taken apart and sent to the sand blaster. Then the pieces were sanded and treated with etching primer. Then a second coat of filler sealer was added. Then the parts were sent individually to the painter. The painter applied another base coat sealer and then sprayed. The paint color is Toyota T-309. The hard top, doors, fenders, windshield, top, hood, were removed and taken apart, window glass was removed, sand blasted, painted, and put back together as described above. The front fenders were purchased new from CoolCruisers. Diamond plate quarter panels are powder coated and purchased from SOR. Interior Overview:The front seats were taken to a professional upholsterer. The foam was rebuilt and the covers were added. Prior to installation I also painted the metal supports on the floor and the steel channels on the sides of the seats. Original seat belts were added to the vehicle. I added a Spector head liner. I put the original front rubber floor mat and rear tub mat. The rear jump seats have the original jump seat cushions and covers and are in excellent condition. The roll bar was pulled out, sanded and painted. All front door, rear ambulance door, hard top weather stripping was purchased new and installed. Drive Train:No leaks whatsoever on this FJ. The straight 6-cyl has plenty of power and mechanically tested for compression. The transmission goes through the gears easily and the transfer case shifts easily into all gears. The emergency brake is fully functional. The undercarriage was been treated with rubberized undercoating. I completely cleaned the front hub systems. The tires are 33x12.50/r15 BF Goodrich AT with roughly 75% tread life remaining. I had a new exhaust system from the header back. Electrical:Original front signals have been installed. The rear light assemblies are brand new from SOR. All gauges and lights work perfectly. (The original radio is installed but not working). Extras:There are too many extras to list or remember. Some that I can think of include a SOR heavy duty front bumper, new apron emblems, Rancho 5000 shocks, SOR dash cover, new windshield wipers, hood latches and pads, new front door pins, most of the 10mm and 12mm bolts have been replaced in both the main body, hood, doors and hard top. New bumperettes from SOR. Brand new windshield glass. Bottom line:This FJ40 is beautiful and runs great. I can't think of anything I would add at this point. If you're looking for a reliable Land Cruiser that will turn heads this is the one. Conditions of Purchase:Please don't bid if you don't intend to follow through. I require $1000 down within 2 days of the close of the auction. This can be a check, cash, cashiers check. I prefer a wire transfer to save time. Once the deposit clears, I will OVERNIGHT the title to you so you know this is a real transaction. The title is a clean and clear Utah title. After the deposit, you need to pay in full within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payable by the same forms as listed above or payable in person when you pick up the vehicle. If you live outside of the state of Utah I suggest shipping the vehicle but that is up to you. I have a few names of agencies that will deliver the vehicle to your front door. Final note: Absolutely NO Paypal since Paypal only protects the buyer, not the seller. They also charge the seller 3% of the transaction. Questions & Disclosures:Feel free to call 801-556-9399 to ask questions or make an offer. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time. The vehicle is for sale As-Is.
