1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 Dune Beige SUV 5 Speed Manual

1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 Description

Fresh Frame-Off Restored FJ43 4x4 4.2L 5 speed Manual Soft Top A/C Disc Brakes /// Fully-sorted and fully polished, this trail blazing FJ is one of the toughest and most capable SUVs ever built. A rare medium wheelbase Land Cruiser that presents a better-than-factory appearance, the truck benefitted from a detailed, body-off restoration. During that reboot, solid metal was worked bare, promptly re-sprayed in quaint Dune Beige pigment and shrouded in a fresh canvas roof. And presently, that Rhino-inspired shell... creates a classy, wet-look profile that mixes searing glares with smooth reflections. Mechanically, this FJ exemplifies that top-notch restoration with a correct Type F engine, which wears a familiar "2F" assembly stamp. The truck's rugged 5-speed utilizes agreeable gearing to serve up an awesome combination of on-road capability and off-road prowess. Power-assisted steering is a pleasant and equally exclusive luxury in the world vintage SUVs. Power-assisted discs and drums bring everything to a quick halt. And at the corners of the floor, Charcoal steelies spin 31x10.50R15LT BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/As around Warn hubs and stainless center caps. Inside this classic, you'll find a spacious and comfortable cockpit that has enough room to be your vehicle of choice for any weekend adventure. Fully restored seats, a split-bench up front and opposing rear jumps, are wrapped in high quality vinyl. In front of the driver, a boxy, body-matched dash hangs restored telemetry above modern air conditioning. Below that dash, a duo of shifters, one for the 5-speed and one for the 4-wheel drive, ride thick floor mats. And the driver stays connected to the road thanks to a factory-issue steering wheel. Because the extended FJ43 was never officially sold in the U.S. market, this immaculate specimen is a highly desirable classic that headlines an increasingly popular segment of the collector car market.
