This truck like all the ones we have built and sold went through our TRUE professional and comprehensive frame off, bolt and nut restoration. All original bolts and nuts were media blasted and zinc plated, all other bolts and nuts such as the hardware on doors are stainless steel, even dough they are stainless steel we place a nylon washer between every contact of the body/chassis and sheet metal to even prevent corrosion in the future.All hinges, mirrors, floors, headlamps and any other accessory are Toyota OEM brand new. The chassis, drive shafts, axles, and differential housings were sand blasted and painted. Every single ball bearing, gasket and seal was replaced for a new one. I can state with confidence, this is a one of a kind FJ43 and not even close to your average eBay car for sale! No doubts about it.

We have upgraded this truck with and OEM Toyota 4-Speed Manual Transmission from a newer year FJ43 to make it more desirable and enhancing the drivability, making it more appealing and more daily driver on the highway.

If you’re looking for some fun and cool looking vintage truck to cruise around town, go to work, or even a beach cruiser to enjoy with your kids and family, this it’s a true classic head turning 4×4 that will not disappoint.

As a Land Cruiser lover, enthusiast, Cruiser Head and restorer, I proudly present for sale this 1970 FJ43 my team and I restored, with over 1500 man hours invested in this beauty. It’s truly an immaculate restoration done the right way. From the ground up to last another 40 plus years!

The car has a clean and clear Florida Title ready to be transferred. Its new owner will receive all original paper work, documentation and every single photo of the restoration process step by step.

Please take your time and look closely at the pictures and every single detail from the restoration. I can state and say many things but a picture will say more than a thousand words…so please take a close look of the attention to detail and time invested we took during the whole restoration.

Thank you very much for watching and good luck to all Bidders!!

You might find other FJ40s, BJ40s, and FJ43s for sale claiming to be done professionally and even state to be frame off restorations or that they are running "OK”,But most of them are done cutting a lot of corners in a true restoration process, competition is good and we welcome it. But we say this because we really take a lot of pride in what we do, especially when we do something that we love! Don’t let yourself be fooled with the other guys importing justa few vehicles to make a quick buck. We are here to stay and provide a great customer service and experience and we would love to earn your business. Feel free to ask any questions regarding details of the car, and the restoration process, and we will be more than to answer them on a timely manner.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
