Default 1977 Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 - $9750 (Charleston, SC)

- 1977 Toyota LandCruiser FJ40
- Appx 85k miles (new gauges, so not positive on exact figure)


Driveline:
- 2f Motor (straight six), 4sp manual trans
- Stock driveline, very strong
- Lunchbox locker in front differential
- Manual front hubs
- 4x4
- Disc brakes in front, drums in the rear (stops surprisingly well)
- Set up for dual batteries, though only one is connected. (ie: you can jump yourself)
- 33" BFG MT's with tons of tread

Exterior:
- 4" HFS Suspension Lift with HFS shocks & stabilizer
- Tan color, white bezel
- Black BestTop Softtop, with matching doors
- Olive Green bikini top
- Colormatched tan hard doors (OK shape), quarter windows, and rear doors (ie: needs only the top part of the hardtop)
- Black tailgate for use with softtop or bikini top
- New bumperettes
- Original front bumper, unpainted
- Locking gas cap
- New bolt kit for the hardtop

Interior:
- Two bucket seats, original but in very good condition
- Seats have new (October) custom Wet Okole seatcovers with rear pockets, drivers seat has a "pistol pocket" between legs
- Tuffy lockable center console with cupholders
- Rear rubber cargo mat
- New Autometer gauge cluster, in stock location using a custom backplate
- Speedo with new cable, double-sealed at the sending unit
- Tach
- Fuel Level with new sending unit in the tank
- Oil pressure, mechanical gauge
- Water Temp, mechanical gauge
- 6.5" speakers in custom Liquid Audio wakeboard enclosures, mounted to the rollbar
- Sony marine MP3 headunit with detachable face and remote control
- Heat works! No AC (really, who needs it?)

Misc:
- Tons of extra parts, old and new
- Uninstalled heat/noise damper for the drivers & passengers floor
- I've even got a FJ40 Matchbox car I'll throw in. It's Olive, though, not tan.

The bad:
- Some bondo work on the body (though definitely not a bondo-queen)
- The door striking plate has seperated from the body for about a 12". Needs a bead run to reconnect. Since I usually don't run doors, haven't bothered with it.
- No radio antenna.
- Front bumper is without paint.
- Not positive on actual mileage; last owner advised the figure was original miles, but I have no way to verify.
- It's 33 years old, and it doesn't enjoy the cold. Once warmed up though, it's a champ. I typically start it, go back inside for a quick coffee, then head out.
- I have two hardtops, both of which have seen better days and therefore, I won't try to install them. As mentioned above, the quarters and rear doors seem to be
in great shape, though.

Notes:
- The radio is wired to be "always on", ie: so the vehicle can be off but the radio could still be played. If I were to keep this, I'd install a switch (probably
under the passenger dash) to cut power.

- Manual steering. I haven't listed this under "the bad" as I think it adds to the flavor of the vehicle. I had the locker moved from the rear to the front, so even with manual steering, it is easy to drive on the road.

If you'd like any info / have any questions, please feel free to PM me or post in here.

What a beauty. I bet if you post that up at Yotatech you'd sell it quickly. http://www.yotatech.com/

Free bump for a nice ride. That was my first vehicle that I owned.

Thanks fellas. It's a great vehicle and as such, I'd love to keep it, but I'm heading overseas next month. Can't take it with me, and I love the bike more, so that gets the storage spot.

Thanks for the heads up on YotaTech; I had never heard of the site. If it's not gone by next week, I'll throw it on there.
