1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 Description

We do NOT sell parts or import trucks for others. Thank you that is not our business model.

Volcan 4x4, LLC is bonded Florida dealer and niche restorer and importer of classic Toyotas. Price is $40,000 firm delivery Tampa, Florida with guaranteed Florida title and mileage EXEMPT. Sold AS IS. We will arrange enclosed shipping to buyer's address at buyer's expense. This truck has over $5000 in options.
We have been sourcing and restoring FJ43s since early 2014 before they became popular. We purchased and restored over 10 FJ43s now. We will provide a reference of a happy Volcan 4x4 FJ43 client.
This truck is rare later model FJ43 1982. Great color 464 beige. Most FJ43s are in poor mechanical and body condition due to the fact they were used for commercial work and are extremely popular now. We have been sourcing and restoring Colombian spec trucks for 4 years now and only buy the best. This is a survivor extremely original FJ43 with original front and rear floors and 2 owners. Mileage is unknown. Perfect body lines and very nice paint. The fiberglass top has the rare ambulance rear doors. Top sides get paint matched.
Truck shown with 32 inch tires. It is getting either 285 series 33 inch tires on black alloys or 33 by 10.5 on white Toyota or new OEM gray hubcap rims buyer's choice. That is over $2000 in wheels and tires included.
Most FJ43s struggle to see 55 mph due to weight and gear ratio. Split rim equipped FJ43s look great but will never see 55 mph. This truck should be 60 mph or more with the 4 speed and 33 inch tires and new carb. We will install an H55F 5 speed for $3500. That will push the truck to 65 mph to 75 mph. These are not great daily drivers but can be used for limited short commutes.

Truck will have seatbelts for six passengers. This truck is getting a complete mechanical overhaul by our mechanics in Colombia. Once in Tampa it will receive another mechanical review. We welcome third party inspections. We have been using the same process since 2013 and adding back refinements based on feedback from clients.
Not all classic cars are equal in condition. Not all FJ43s are equal in condition. However, we selectively purchase these trucks on the ground ourselves and then apply a comprehensive overhaul. They are FUN trucks and very unique.
