I can’t think of many 4WDs that have aged as well as the FJ Cruiser, which, two decades on, still looks futuristic and purposeful. Over the years it has forged a reputation for excellence and is undoubtedly a pinnacle platform for overland travel. This iconic 4WD is underpinned by the legendary Land Cruiser Prado J120 chassis (as depended on by frontline agencies globally) and is subsequently built to endure daily punishment. This premier foundation is mated to the bulletproof 1GR-FE V6, which is an ultra-proven motor also used in the 4Runner, Tacoma, and Tundra. It also excels when the tarmac ends thanks to selectable part-time four-wheel drive, a rear locker, and an intelligent A-Trac system that uses brake intervention to redistribute torque across the axles in technical scenarios. Needless to say, it’s a vehicle that can be driven from the dealership around the world, but for those looking to further optimize the FJ Cruiser for exploration, there’s no shortage of aftermarket parts, accessories, and services available. Cue today’s 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser (174,000 miles), which is owned by XOverland’s Jakob Aadnes; it boasts premium aftermarket modifications and is topped with a Go Fast Campers V2 rooftop tent. This drool-worthy rig has been fastidiously maintained and is turnkey ready for its next adventure.
From the Seller:
“I bought this in February of 2022 at 116,000 miles. All modifications have been done by me. I built this to be the perfect weekend adventure rig for traveling the Southwest of the United States. Since moving to Montana, I’ve been wanting more space, which led me to a Toyota Tundra. It’s spent most of its life garage-kept with oil changes every 5,000 miles. I’ve also had paint correction done twice (when I first bought it and last May). I’m very particular about preserving the paint and undercarriage from rust. The driver’s side seat and armrest are showing signs of wear.”
