I am the second owner of a Nov 1977 USA Delivery FJ40 that was professionally restored down to every nut and bolt. The restoration took eight months and let me tell you it was worth the wait! Even though, you will find a lot of non-USA delivery Land Cruisers for sale, most of the time parts are usually a pain in the neck to find and non-USA delivery Land Cruisers don’t meet USA standards. The body was removed from the frame and the motor was serviced along with the transmission. Two transfer cases (one for the AWD and a second one for an optional winch, not included), new brake lines, brake system was also serviced. Master cylinder, slave cylinder, brake disks, brake drums, and window seals were also replaced, all gauges were fully restored and serviced as well as all the sensors were newly replaced. All glass windows were fully polished, and all bolts from the exterior of body are stainless steel.This classic counts with new fenders, new tires, new shocks; nevertheless, this Land Cruiser even has power steering and the NIPPONDENSO A/C! 4 speed transmission and new clutch were installed, new exhaust front to back with silencer and catalyzer.I have made the decision to keep the original color and the classic pinstripes! Don’t make the mistake of buying a historic Land Cruiser that you will not be able to enjoy due to the lack of parts. Please do your research and don’t waste your time or mine.These amazing cars hold their value very well.Vin is FJ40262880I would like to add as a reference a previous FJ45 that I have restored years back please feel free to look at the review http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/1978-toyota-fj45-land-cruiser-pickup/If you have any questions please ask.Contact Manny after 6pm 214 243 0737
