Vehicle description
TWO YOUTUBE VIDEO LINKS: https:/ youtu.be/dFbzXZBPbSE https:/ youtu.be/Zhz0KKgnDn8 Up for auction is my 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This is a truck built BY a Land Cruiser enthusiast FOR a Land Cruiser enthusiast. As you read this description, you’ll note the details that make this the ultimate Land Cruiser Junky’s truck! This recently restored Land Cruiser started off as a 1971 US-SpecFJ40, but was converted to a BJ40 diesel during the restoration. This is NOT a South American truck! The Land Cruiser went through a thorough frame-off, nut-and-bolt, multi-year restoration and is ready for anything. It’s the perfect truck for taking to the mountains, cruising along the beach, or just cruising to the local car show. The odometer reads 38471 miles, but I’m not sure if that’s accurate. Drivetrain: The truck received a Toyota LandCruiser 3B (approx. 150k km or 93k miles) from a Canadian spec Land Cruiser along with an H55F 5-speed transmission, “split” transfer case, and 1981 BJ42rear axle with integrated parking brake. The engine received all new gaskets and seals and was installed using quality BJ42 reproduction frame mounts with new motor mounts. The transmission was installed using an OEM1981+ transmission crossmember. An original BJ42 Air cleaner assembly was also used. The drivetrain looks like it came from the factory this way and doesn’t have any goofy custom-made brackets like so many other conversions. If you’re a LandCruiser junky like I am, this is probably the most highly desired 40 series drivetrain combination available. The transmission and transfer case were rebuilt with all new Japanese (mostly Koyo)bearings, 3 rd -5 th synchros, seals, and gaskets. The front and rear axles received all new wheel bearings with the front axle receiving a complete knuckle rebuild with Koyo bearings. Stock Land Cruiser driveshafts were retubed, balanced, and had new Japanese (Matsuba) U-joints installed by a local driveshaft shop. There is an OEM hand throttle mounted under the dash to assist with cold starts or for use if a winch is installed. Cooling System: This FJ40 received an OEM BJ42radiator shroud, an aftermarket BJ42 brass radiator from Australia, a new Aisin(OEM) water pump, and new fan. This was all tied together with new Toyota hoses and belts. Brakes, Steering, and Suspension: The front brakes were converted to power disk using Wilwood 4-piston caliper kit, stainless hoses, and stock Landcruiser disk brake master cylinder and brake booster. The rear brakes are stock 1981 self-adjusting, single cylinder brakes with integrated parking brake. The brakes are a HUGE upgrade all-around with no wheel cylinders or parking brake to manually adjust. The steering was converted to power steering using a Toyota mini-truck power steering box and factory BJ42 power steering pump. Additionally, all tie rods were replaced with new Japanese (555 brand) units. The suspension upgrades consist of 2.5” lift springs and new Bilstein5100 series shocks. All new greaseable spring pins and anti-inversion shackles were installed along with new polyurethane bushings. The truck rides better than any other FJ40 I’ve been in. Wheels & Tires: The truck received 4 new OEM disk-brake compatible wheels. The spare is an original disk -brake wheel. All 5wheels have new OEM hubcaps and new 33x10.5” BF Goodrich All Terrain tires and were installed with new lugnuts. Interior: The truck received all new SOR seat covers, seat foam and headliner. These are the best interior pieces in the industry. The heater was also restored using an SOR rebuild kit. Exterior: The entire body and frame were sandblasted down to white metal and epoxy primed. The frame and chassis components were painted with black semi-gloss single-stage urethane paint and the body received abase/clear system in factory Landcruiser Freeborn red. Both sides of the floor were sprayed in a color-matched urethane bedliner. All paint and primers used were top quality PPG components. All new body mounts were also installed. All weather stripping and door felts/seals were installed with OEM when available and the highest quality aftermarket where necessary. The list of NOS OEM Toyota parts includes (I’m sure I’m forgetting some!): Complete BJ40 exhaust system Wheels Hubcaps Rear Bumperettes Side mirrors and arms Interior rearview mirror Dash Pad All emblems(front Toyota, side Land Cruiser, and rear 4WD and Toyota) Turn signal switch Front turn signal lamp assemblies Rear taillights& brackets Rear reflectors(rear crossmember) Reverse light License plate light assembly Front and rear side marker lights E-brake cable Most seals and weather stripping (the highest quality aftermarket were used where necessary) All engine filters All engine belts & hoses Dash switches (washer, lights, lighter) Sun visors Rear hatch chrome handle and seal Signal flashers All locks and keys Wiper arms and blades Hood windshield rest pads Brake light switch Fuel sending unit Light wiring terminal blocks (on inner fenders) Thermostat Temperature sending unit Shift lever boots Clutch fork boot All hose clamps Tons of little stuff like gaskets, seals, hardware, etc… Other new non-OEM parts installed (not including those previously mentioned): Voltage regulator HD battery and cables Brake hoses and hard lines Injection pump governor diaphragm (Denso) Glow plugs Fuel primer pump (Bosch) Clutch kit(flywheel resurfaced too) Brake pads and hardware Horns &horn relay Shift knob and shift instruction plate (5-speed!)
