This 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was imported from Venezuela, where it had been used for camping and fishing trips by a father and his daughter for 15 years before being purchased by the seller in 2017. Power comes from a 4.2L inline-six which is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox and split transfer case. In the last four months the FJ has received a new radiator, carburetor, Petronix Ignitor II ignition, coil, spark plugs, cables, battery, rear U-joints, and more. The seller states the truck recently completed an 800-mile round trip from his home in Mississippi to the Sand Rover Rally in Destin, Florida during which it cruised easily at speeds of 65+mph. This FJ40 is offered at no reserve with recent service records and a clean Mississippi title in the seller’s name.

A repaint in a different shade of green is said to have been performed approximately five years ago. Chips, scratches, and other blemishes are detailed in the gallery below. Significant rust is said to inhabit the bottoms of the ambulance-style rear doors and corresponding areas of the cargo floor. The seller recommends replacement of the ambulance doors.

The black paint on the front bumper and forward portion of the chassis could benefit from refreshment per the seller, but have been left untouched to allow accurate assessment of the condition. Front indicator lights, believed to be from an FJ70, were added by a prior owner. Exterior lighting is said to be operational except for the high beams.

The interior is said to appear largely stock aside from later-style black and gray vinyl-covered seats, which are in need of replacement according to the seller. The speedometer cable has been replaced and the seller has added approximately 2,000 of the 64k kilometers indicated on the odometer. True mileage is unknown. The temperature gauge is reportedly operational, while the fuel and oil gauges are not.

Rear jump seats are equipped in the rear cargo area, which shows varying levels of surface corrosion throughout. The seller states that wiring and a dash-mounted switch for rooftop auxiliary lights are present, though the lights were previously removed along with a corresponding roof rack (included with the sale).

Power is supplied by a 4.2L inline-six which is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Recent work is said to include a new radiator, carburetor, Petronix Ignitor II electronic ignition and Flamethrower coil, spark plugs, cables, battery, parking brake and cable, and fluids. The FJ is equipped with power steering, but the pump is currently leaking and has been disconnected.

A video of the FJ starting and idling is provided above.

The rear U-joints were replaced in the past four months. Aisin manually locking front hubs and the four-wheel-drive are said to function as they should. The FJ is equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes.
