Lovingly Restored & Custom Built 1978 FJ40, Go anywhere & Do anything

This FJ40 started life as a stock utility 4x4. They are great to see and look at, but are missing the needed horse power and more modern upgrades, i.e. transmission, suspension, steering, etc, to travel down the road at speed ornavigatea difficult logging trail.

6 Years ago this project was started to create a useable Vintage Land Cruiser, but withall the modern upgrades to bring into today day & age, a true driver.

Using alate model 78' FJ40 as the base.She was totally dis-assembled, body was removed and chassis sent out to bestripped, cleaned & power coated. The original tub was replaced with the lighter, stronger aluminum Aqualu body (same asthe TLC ICON) and will never rust! The fame was then re-assembled with new modern suspension & bushings, new Bilstein shocks & bushings. New powder coated black factory wagons wheels were mounted to 32" x 9.5" x 16" Mud Terrain Tires. DRIVETRAN: the old motor (135hp)and manual transmission was replaced with a New GM 350 V8 Crate motor (275hp) and a new T350 Automatic (with Lokar Shifter). The cooling system was upgraded as well with a 4-core aluminum radiator. The factory front discs' brakes were fully serviced and new power steering was added. INTERIOR: custom black leather sport seating, all new Painless wiring harness was installed, all new performance sport gauges in dash.Extended Rear Custom gas tank.

Both Air Conditioning & Heat combo available for installation & any type of rear seating: Jump seats or Forward facing bench for children, just ask.

Today she can cruise down the highway at high speeds, Steers effortlessly (wife & teenagers can drive) and can go off the road with confidence to travel back roads, go overlanding and act as a livable base camp. In addition, she is setup to pull a trailer and has tail light wiring.

Set up with large open area in the back for the Dog/s orfor storage, plus extra storage on the roof rack. Also on the rack is a CVT Camping Roof Top Tent & Ladder (see photos).Up Front is custom Heavy DutyArmor/Guardto protect the front & radiator from unwanted road hazards. The rear is a HD custom fabricated spare swing out carrier and multiple Jerry can, gear or cooler holder.
