This 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser was sold new by Toyota of Palo Alto in California and was acquired five years ago by the seller, who refurbished it over the past two years. The work is said to have included repainting the body and powder-coating the frame as well as installation of an Old Man Emu leaf springs, new braking components, replacement front axle seals, and stainless steel exterior fasteners. Power is provided by a 4.2-liter straight-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, and the truck features a period dealer-installed Warn winch, steel wheels with all-terrain tires, and rear jump seats. This FJ40 is offered with tools, period warranty documents and service records, owner’s manuals, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The body is said to have undergone rust repairs using replacement sheet metal before being repainted in blue with a white roof. Additional work reportedly included cadmium-plating existing hardware as well as installation of stainless steel exterior nuts and bolts. The Warn M8274 winch was dealer-installed in period and comes with a remote controller, and the truck also features a receiver hitch bolted to the rear bumper.
Gray 15″ steel wheels are mounted with Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires aside from the Dunlop spare affixed to the swing-out carrier in the rear. The ride height has been raised approximately 2″ using Old Man Emu leaf springs and aftermarket shocks. Brake work under current ownership included rebuilding the calipers as well as replacement of the lines, pads, master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. Stock removed suspension components will reportedly aLompany the truck.
High-backed front bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and inward-facing jump seats are mounted in the cargo area. Additional features include rubberized floor coverings and a period Boman Astrosonix push-button radio.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 100-mph speedometer and secondary gauges in a painted bezel. The five-digit odometer shows 22k miles.
The 4.2-liter 2F inline-six is said to have been serviced with new external gaskets, and retains stock emissions components aLording to the seller. Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Drivetrain fluid changes are said to have been carried out.
The frame was reportedly sandblasted prior to being powder-coated in black. Additional work included repacking the front wheel bearings, replacing the front axle seals, and rebuilds of the clutch master and slave cylinders.
