This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has been refinished in yellow over black vinyl and is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a removable hardtop with a white roof as well as black 15″ steel wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, inward-facing rear jump seats, and front and rear heaters.
The truck was finished from the factory in Sky Blue (854) and repainted yellow under previous ownership, and the roof was removed from the hardtop, repaired, repainted white, and reinstalled with replacement weatherstripping and hardware under previous ownership.
Black 15″ steel wheels feature polished hubcaps and are mounted with 235/75 Ranger A/TR Thunderer tires. The truck is equipped with manually locking front hubs. Braking is from front discs at all four corners.
The front bucket seats and inward-facing rear jump seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and the cabin features a roll bar, a fire extinguisher, and front and rear heaters. The driver’s seat cushion was replaced under previous ownership along with the dash pad, headliner, seatbelts, weatherstripping, door locks, and rear door latch.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and instruments for oil pressure, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The stalled five-digit odometer shows 79k miles.
The 4.2-liter 2F inline-six is equipped with a single carburetor and an aftermarket exhaust manifold. Work performed under current ownership is said to have involved overhauling the electrical and cooling systems in addition to installing replacement components and performing repairs.
Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, both of which were reportedly overhauled under current ownership.
