Details

This rust-free 1977 FJ40 sports an older custom, frame-off restoration. During restoration the original 4.2-liter 6-cylinder engine was completely rebuilt, and modern fuel injection added for increased performance. The stock 4-speed transmission was replaced with a Toyota H55 5-speed manual transmission. This transmission is paired up to a split transfer case, which allows for driving in 4x2 low or high as well as 4x4 low or high. The front and rear differentials were also both replaced with new ARB air locking differentials with onboard compressor and dash-operated switches. Dual air chamber bead lock wheels, including the spare, allow you to decrease the air in the tires for increased traction, and an onboard liquid CO2 tank allows you to quickly reinflate them. Upgraded brakes and performance pads, ARB front and rear bumpers with WARN M8274 winch. There is a 2-inch Iron Man lift kit for increased ride height. The small factory fuel tank was upgraded to a high-capacity 21-gallon tank. A custom fiberglass 8-speaker Focal and Alpine sound system is built into the full-length family-style roll cage. The vehicle seats six with front bucket seats and dual rear bench seats, which have seat belts for four passengers and can be easily accessed through the rear ambulance-style doors. The rust-free body was sprayed in red LINE-X, the top and grille in white LINE-X, and the bumpers and interior in black LINE-X.
