The Toyota Land Cruiser is a nameplate legendary for its reliability in many of the world’s most demanding environments. Inspired by the products built by both Jeep and Land Rover, the Land Cruiser underwent several major revisions over the years. However, the FJ40 is what many cite as the truck that made the Land Cruiser name widely recognized. Built in many configurations from 1960 to 2001, the FJ40 was available in multiple body styles and wheelbases, with soft or hard roofs, and the buyer’s choice of four- or six-cylinder engines powered by gasoline or diesel.

This 1980 Toyota FJ43 is a sought-after medium-wheelbase model with a soft top. In the 2010s, it received an extensive restoration by marque experts The FJ Company in Miami. This example features a very appealing specification, which made it a perfect candidate for restoration. The truck is equipped with a 2F gasoline inline-six engine, power steering, four-speed manual gearbox, and front disc brakes. The engine and gearbox were recommissioned, new disc brakes were fitted, and the body was stripped to bare metal before being repainted in striking John Deere Green.

This rare FJ43 variant is a stunning and capable off-roader that has been finished to an impressively high standard by The FJ Company and worthy of serious consideration.
