Featured on the May 2010 cover of "Four Wheeler Magazine", this 1964 Toyota FJ40 4WD is a great combination of vintage style and modern technology. A well documented build with receipts to prove it, this truck has been significantly upgraded and enhanced since its magazine feature. Starting with a fully messaged body and frame, the rust-free platform presents as new. Custom front and rear bumpers provide a rugged off road appearance. Rear doors consist of versatile hatch and barn doors. Finished in classic Toyota Rustic Green with cream top and trim, with classic polished vintage wheels.
Inside, Master Craft bucket seats combine with correctly finished metal panels make the classic industrial look of the original truck stand out. Automatic transmission, power steering and air conditioning make this one fun to drive.
On the outside the unmistakable profile of the FJ40 is raised by a set of 35'' BFG KM2 tires mounted on a Spring-under Axle setup from a Toyota truck. The rear suspension was replaced with a modern Toyota mini truck, swapping the rear drums to disk at the same time. An upgraded set of Bilstein 5100-series shocks keep the tires firmly planted. Under the Mickey Thompson 15'' x 8'' wheels, the disc brakes are powered by a Wilwood master cylinder.
Best of all, this show quality restoration was treated to the best upgrade of all... a 5.3L GM LS V8 with Turbo 350 automatic transmission and 4WD transfer case. This FJ has the looks, quality and performance that makes it a special buy.
