    Description

    Up for sale is a FJ40 with bug catcher wing vents. I did ownn this for close to 4 years and during that time I restored it and then later sold it to a family in Arizona. Its now back at our store on consignment after 1.5 years of him owning it. He said it was "too much car for him." During my restoration I compiled over k at my wholesale COST in receipts and service at my dealership/shop in Redlands not including the initial purchase cost of the vehicle. Its not cheap to build any vehicle thankfully this one already had the motor and trans done when I got it and they were done nicely. It took me two years to find a hard top. Its a 72 top. Yes its not period correct I know you Toyota purists will correct me on that, but the grill bezel is thick side up that should count for some points back in my corner. If you have you seen the visibility of a 65 corrugated tops, they are less than desirable if you plan to run some simple errands to pick up stuff at Home Depot or the local plant nursery on your Sunday cruise you will find its hard backing up with the older hard top.
    This is a nice usable vehicle, its not a museum piece but a fun respectable weekend toy, that turns heads. When you fire up the V8 it starts every time (thank you fuel injection), it sounds absolutely amazing with the dual side exit exhaust and headers. The mufflers are shielded underneath with stainless shields to protect from heat transfer inside. If I was to keep it I would add the vintage or classic air to make the summers more pleasant especially here in CA. I also have soft doors that goes with the vehicle. I have one large storage tote of misc parts and OEM Toyota gaskets that I will include. I also have the original speedo/cluster that I will include.  Below is the specs of the vehicle:
    5.3L Vortec Turn Key Fuel Injected Crate motor (yes 9xx miles on this motor),
    4 Speed Manual Trans from late 70's donor with Centerforce performance Clutch
    Painted a lighter shade of Jeep Khaki its all mono-chrome but I didn't want to match Jeep exactly. Ironically my Jeep is painted that new Toyota Green, I had to balance the equation.
    Recent Detroit locker in rear axle (ring and pinion updated as well)
    Wilwood Front disc brake conversion, an electric E Brake interlock (this is your parking brake)
    Newer fuel tank and brand new electric fuel pump
    Upgraded to a power steering system- this makes it a blast to drive
    BeCool 4 core aluminum radiator
    BodyArmor Front and rear bumper and carrier
    9.5TI Warn Winch in the front with Rigid lights
    New Fox shocks all around with a 2inch shackle lift
    5 New matching ATX 16 inch Black wheels with BFG 305/70/16MT tires
    All new door felt, door seals and gaskets
    New bug catcher seals (try to find these- its very tough)
    Full Roll cage painted in automotive black paint with Cobra CB and speaker mounted and wired
    1972 Hard Top with new glass and all new seals, and key cylinder (OEM hatch cylinders they are weak springs)
    On board Viar air compressor
    New Mastercraft RS Baja seats
    Re-wired with Painless wiring kit
    Dual battery system
    Air horns
    White Phantom Auto meter gages
    Undercarriage is POR15 coated (Best Rust Inhibitor on market this is not spray paint) We de-greased painstakingly, then thoroughly taped off things we didn't want POR and etched the bare metal then finally painted with a spray gun.
    Has been in southern California for over 24 years very very very slight rust on passenger side rocker panel that's it. We were told previous owner was California as well, I didn't track it past that. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....well you get the idea.
    Painted the diamond plate black with automotive paint (No there is not rust on the tub corners I can hear you guys already) the previous owner used this for trail driving on fire roads and didn't want to damage the tub knowing how hard they are to find an all steel tub.
    Entire interior tub rhino lined in black medium grit (everything was removed)
    Updated Hella Halogen headlights
    Heater does not work
    All lights and turn signals work properly
