Nut & bolt restoration with upgrades: power steering, overdrive, disc brakes!!

Multi year thorough restoration that touched every component and upgraded several to make the FJ even more driver friendly. The FJ has power steering and front disc brake systems taken from later model FJ40 and seamlessly incorporated into the building process.

This FJ40 Land Cruiser has undergone a complete frame off restoration. This Royal Blue FJ40 looks like it just came off the assembly line; with a few subtle comfort upgrades. Everything from the frame, body, and interior has been gone through – replaced, repainted, and/or restored. Many new rubber gaskets, moldings, & parts; using mostly OEM (as available).

The F Engine – inline 6, has been completely rebuilt. The 3-speed transmission & dual-range transfer case was also thoroughly inspected & rebuilt with new bearings & seals installed. The transmission is mated with a Fairey Overdrive unit. The front axle was also outfitted with disc brakes during the rebuild. During the build, the vehicle was also equipped with power steering.

This restoration was done with attention to detail, and began when the vehicle was first purchased in 2012. The objective was a vehicle that kept its originality, but would also provide a few comfort upgrades to enjoy along the way. The majority of this work was completed in 2012-2015. There are receipts documentation that will accompany the sale, many photos of the process as well.
