I bought out a classic car collection, this was part of that collection, this is a great driver quality FJ40 with the desired 1976+ components. Spent 3 weeks in my shop going through minor fixes, cosmetic upgrades and inspection. We have it to a reliable daily driving point. The previous owner had it for 15 years, spent thousands on it on upgrades and maintenance. I have a mound of receipts on work done. This is an excellent driver quality ready to enjoy now FJ40 priced to sell without the huge price tag of a mint restored unit. This FJ40 lived in south and central Oregon its whole life until I bought it. Please watch the entire video below and check out all the pictures, more detail there than can be articulated in this add.

MECHANICAL
2F inline 6 motor rebuilt by Toyota ($7800 receipt) Weber electric choke carburetor, electronic ignition, approximately 25k in receipts on upgrades/repairs/maintenance over the years. Factory 4 speed transmission, power front disc brakes with fine spline axles, Warn hubs, 2 in complete Old Man Emu suspension lift kit. Warn winch, rear auxiliary fuel tank.
BODY
Body is overall good shape speaking FJ40 with minimal rust. Diamond plate been on truck for years, as best as I can tell no serious rot from looking at panels when truck was on lift, minor spots on the rear sill lip and behind driver front fender marker light. Exterior repaint is decent, original paint inside. Pro Car seats from SOR with extension kit on driver seat for tall driver. We went through the entire truck and fixed anything we saw that needed attention.
This is a good FJ40; this is not a mint show quality trailer queen. I have it priced to sell quickly. 1976-83 are the desired years. I’ve sold numerous mint FJ40’s at Barrett, Mecum and RM in the 45-90k range (some of them in my Photobucket library) this one at this price is for someone who wants one to drive and enjoy, does not want to pay for or want cosmetic perfection.

The title is clean/clear WA State in my wife’s name. She processed it 3-4 weeks ago, we are waiting on it in physical form from the state, should be shortly. Have paperwork to show if necessary.
