1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 - LOW RESERVE

RELISTING. DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO BUY!!!

We are auctioning our 1975 FJ40. We built this beast two years ago specifically for a trip to Big Bend National Park where we used it to climb mountains and take on miles and miles of off-road trails. It performed like a champ. Unfortunately, we just don't use it as often as we'd like and have decided to start a new restoration project.
The good the bad and the ugly:

Good - Original2F Engine runs strong and cranks right up every time. Original 4 speed trans and transfer case function perfectly. We took it down to bare metal and removed all of the rust, but I'm not a body man so a lot of the holes were filled with filler. The larger holes were patched with sheet metal.

2016 Restoration included:

• Hand rolled Monstaliner protects the exterior and interior from the elements.
• New Bestop Seats
• New Bestop Bikini Top
• New BFG K02 35's - with lifetime balance and rotation from Discount Tire
• NewVision Steel Wheels
• New Warrior Half Doors
• New Hood Latch Hardware
• New Taillight assemblies
• New Ignition
• New battery
• New gas tank
• New oil pump
• All new badging inside and out
• Newfront bumper, winch ready
• New Disc Brake conversion (JT Outfitters)
• New Power Booster
• New Master Cylinder
• New wiper assemblies and blades
• New Heavy Duty Tie Rod
• New, hard to findWarn Locking Hubs
• New Seat Belts.

Bad - This FJ40 was lifted by the previous owner flipping the axles under the springs. This worked well butreduced the turn radius when turning right. The turning radius to theleft is much better. One of the prior owners welded the rear-end so it is locked all the time. This is no big deal but it does chirp a bit around corners on the road. It definitely improves off-road capabilities.
Ugly - The engine bay was not detailed or painted to match the body. There is minor surface rust on the roll bar. We took it down to bare metal and painted it with a bed liner/undercarriage paint, but it didn't really do the trick. This would be an easy fix. We have full doors but they are in need of restoration. The u-joint makes a noise when not under load. It may be a pinion issue but it doesn't affect the functionality of the vehicle. We have driven over 500 miles with no issues at all.
