It’s safe to say that most older vehicles listed on our forum have received some level of restoration, but far fewer have enjoyed a full nut-and-bolt rebuild. The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is an overlanding icon, and today’s completely rebuilt example is nothing short of perfection. Imported from Australia in 2021, this fully-restored RHD Cruiser has covered just 114,000 kilometers (70,836 miles), is offered with hardtop, soft top, and convertible configurations, enjoys modern upgrades such as a 60-Series disc brake conversion and HJ75 5-speed gearbox, and a selection of overlanding modifications and accessories. If you’d like to know more about the FJ40’s background, benefits, and key features, I’d recommend checking out our Toyota Land Cruiser History and Models.
From the Seller:
“This cruiser was treated to a full nut-and-bolt restoration using OEM Toyota parts prior to being imported from Victoria, Australia, in 2021. If you’re not familiar with [this type of] restoration, it means every item down to the smallest washer is addressed. No item is left undone, and no expense is spared.”
