1979 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ43 no reserve power steering restored FJ40 fj45

1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 For sale.

NO RESERVE

This Toyota spent all its life in a dry warmer weather where trucks are prone to rust less and much lower mileage than American trucks.

This truck was totally restored 2 years ago, lthough the condition before the restoration was pretty clean(see pics), ith original parts, nd a good mechanical the truck had some body imperfections and a frame off restoration was ordered for this truck.

Since the restoration I had put around 10K kilometers on it.

I built his truck to be a reliable vehicle on the top of the driver scale. This truck was a very solid rust free start, ith stock components. 1979-84 years are the desired FJ40 family trucks. This one being a Beige Fj43 is even rarer than the others. The body is slightly larger and it gives a better stance and a softer ride than the fj40. The 2F engine, ransmission and differentials are the same in fj40 and fj43.

This particular truck features power steering, .10 gears, speed transmission, nd very desirable soft top. After 1979, oyota trucks had better and prettier doors and overall better design, hey also appreciate in value the best. I have owned this truck since 2012, ince then is being driven it often but never hardcore offroad. The next owner can take it up to a gravel road, X4, r city driver. It was built as a museum piece 2 years ago, ut now it has light normal wear from being driven and used.

The 2F engines along with the 3F engine are the best Toyota Gasoline engines. This truck is very reliable and strong.

BODY

This truck is completely rust free. All the panels are clean and true steel. There are no funny Aluminum pieces on this truck, he 40’s series are notorious for rust, t was very clean truck to start with before the frame off restoration (finished 2 years ago)

The body is true and straight with no hidden rust, r the common ugly black gravel lining paint underneath of the car to cover rust. The front floors panels were replaced, he bottom of the doors were also welded with metal. Every single rust was fixed. The truck was stripped complete to bare metal, hen sealed and epoxy primered, inished with a single stage paint as it came originally from factory.

The paint is beautiful and shinny, t has 1 small scratches that happened during transportation and a little color discoloration in the passenger apron. This truck looks much better in person than in the pics. New door seals, nner door panels, ats are in perfect shape. Seats had been upholstered to original specifications.

The interior is very clean and in excellent shape, verything works as it should. It has a larger jump seats, people can fit comfortable in this truck. Tools, wner’s manual, anual, amp, nd jack are included. The original TEN radio is installed but not functional (it is AM only anyways), rather roll down the windows, oll up the soft top and enjoy the air cruising in this truck.

No heater on this truck, t came like this from factory but one can be easily sourced and installed if needed for colder States. I live in Vancouver but I do not drive this in winter.

The Soft top is new, here are no leaks inside when it is raining. I can also source a hard top if you want to go that route.

Mechanicals

This Fj43 has a stock Toyota inline 2F motor with excellent compression (125 120 125 125 120 125 psi) that burns clean.
