FJ has a very nice rust free body all floor pans, fenders, and tub is solid and not rusted - frame is clean and kept detailed. Body was painted in Chrome Yellow B/C Metallic and has a nice wet shine finish to it = very sharp looking FJ. One picture really shows the true color and flake in the paint. The hard top and rear cargo door as well as the driver and passenger doors will all remove for open air summer fun. It takes about 30 min to make it a total convertible. The hard top on this FJ is highly sought after and the rear ambulance style rear cargo doors are the most desirable to FJ classic collectors. Not the old flip down tail gate type rear door you will find on many. The inside was gutted, sandblasted and poly coated to prevent any possible rusting in the future. FJ is also equipped with two inside heaters, One heater up front and one heater in the rear cargo area or rear passenger area. Both heaters work great! All lights, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, back up lights, in good working order. New Dash Lights installed. All gauges work, all lights on the dash work. The horn, wipers, air vents, and heater defrost vents also in good working order. The inside of this FJ is about as sanitary as you will ever see or find on this planet, Very Nice = SEE PHOTOS! FJ was also LIFTED the correct way to enhance it's overall body stance, LOOK and PROFILE and off road capability - it was also lifted to fit the big 35 inch tall tires under it (no tire rub). This FJ was custom fitted with a spring over conversion (SOA) = Lifting the entire vehicle up 5 inches over the stock ride height. That's 5 inches more ground clearance than a stock FJ40 would have. Look's outstanding and will turn every head in town driving or parked. Tire size is 35 inch tall by 12.50 inch wide. That's over 4 feet wide of rubber on the ground! Radial A/T tire with 75 to 80 percent tread life left on rubber. Tires mounted on 15 inch / 10 inch wide aluminum wheels. Full size spare is not as new as all others. Four new Pro Comp shocks, FJ also has the factory original roll bar inside, rear swing out rear tire rack, custom made rear tow hitch receiver built into frame rails. Custom build front bumper fitted with a pair of off road driving lights. This FJ also comes with a FULL FJ 40 ROOF CARGO RACK in mint condition. Easy bolt on and off to the roof rail as you see fit - hard to find and will cost you alot to buy a nice one! It looks very cool on vehicle and you can also mount lights to it = for the even nicer looking cool factor. Roof rack will come with vehicle in sale. This classic FJ was built to drive and enjoy on and off road as owner sees fit. With that said if this FJ was any cleaner or nicer you would not want to get it dirty! It's super clean and ready to roll. Vehicle is located near Oklahoma City, OK 73034. Buyers welcome to inspect in person – 405-623-4495. Don't wait the first smart buyer will own it. Phone Offers accepted- The good ones do not last online- I know because I have bought 3 and missed several really nice ones like this one! Don’t let this one slip away! Call or email with any questions. I can meet shipper or pick up buyer at airport if driving home. I would not be afraid to drive across the country. It runs that great. I reserve the right to end the listing at any time as it has just been listed locally as well. The Number One question I always ask is ...Why Am I selling? Answer- I have three Land Cruisers and love to work on these. I did all the work, now you can enjoy and get all the head turns! I have spent many days and nights to get this like I would want to own or buy. This one is too tall to fit in my home garage and I am condensing from my storage to my home garage for my FJs- so one has to go and this one will not fit inside. It is 7-1" without rack. Rack add probably 6" if installed. I get complements everywhere I go. The color is amazing and hard to really tell in the photos. Check out the video in YouTube linked below:
