1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was acquired by the seller in 2022, and it was subsequently fitted with an Aqualu Industries aluminum tub and refinished in red. The truck is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and it rides on an Old Man Emu 2.5” lift kit and 15” steel wheels. Features include a removable hardtop, a receiver hitch, rear ambulance-style doors, manually locking front hubs, inverted shackles, rear jump seats, and vinyl floor liners. This FJ40 is now offered with a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The truck was disassembled and repainted in red during the refurbishment, which the seller notes is highlighted by the installation of an Aqualu Industries aluminum tub. Exterior features include a removable hardtop with a white roof along with side mirrors, a receiver hitch, and rear ambulance-style doors. The washer system is not hooked up.
