Here is a vehicle that is small but mighty. This 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is fully restored and designed to take on any situation you throw at it. With a beautiful repaint, you almost don't want to do the things this tough vehicle was built for. The winch on the front can get you out of sticky situations-or help someone else out of something crazy. The big tires and capable four-wheel-drive system will also allow you to take this rig almost anywhere you want without much worry. And although tough on trails and rugged roads, it also proves to be surprisingly easy to drive in everyday situations.
The inside of this Land Cruiser barely looks like it has ever been driven. The black bucket seats look great alongside the door panels, while the rear seats still have plastic covering them. The headliner is in excellent condition, and the rubber flooring is perfect for a vehicle like this-making cleanup a breeze. The dashpad looks new, the instrument cluster is easy to read, and all of the buttons and knobs appear to function properly. A Pioneer head unit controls a sound system with AM/FM/CD, Bluetooth, and two subwoofers positioned behind the front seats. In the center of the front seat area are two floor shifters-one for regular gear changes and the other for four-wheel-drive engagement. In the rear seating area, a roll bar adds safety in case of a rollover accident. Additional emergency gear includes a full-sized spare tire mounted on the rear that swings out to give you access to the tailgate.
Under the hood is another area where this vehicle shines. The engine bay is immaculate-well-organized with plenty of attention to detail. An aluminum radiator keeps the 4.2-liter 2F Inline-6 temperature-controlled. The engine itself has only about 500 miles on a fresh rebuild. The 2-barrel carburetor has also been rebuilt, as has the 4-speed manual transmission-likely at the same time as the engine. The suspension is a classic four-wheel-drive setup: leaf springs with shocks, front and rear. 15-inch black-painted wheels with shiny center caps are wrapped in BFG All-Terrain T/A 32X11.50R15LT tires on all four corners. Stopping power comes from front power disc brakes and rear power drum brakes. For exhaust, a stock-style manifold connects to a single pipe running through a factory replacement muffler.
