1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restored

Location: Orlando, Florida

Why It's Curated: This 1977 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 is for sale in Orlando, FL. Few FJ40s present with this level of considered, methodical restoration work -- and this one benefits from two distinct phases of care. The foundation was laid by VooDoo Cruisers, who sand-blasted the body to bare metal, primed it, and repainted it in single-stage acrylic in the period-correct Sky Blue Code T854. The factory steel wheels were similarly sand-blasted and refinished in VooDoo Grey. A 2024 refresh brought the mechanical and comfort details up to a high standard: Bilstein long-travel shocks, a leveled suspension with greaseable front shackles and extended rear shackles, disc brake front end with braided stainless steel lines and Warn premium hubs, and five BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires in 33x10.5x15. Inside, Procar Elite seats with adjustable lumbar replace the fronts, a Vintage Air Gen IV HVAC system handles climate, Koito LED headlights and fog lamps improve visibility, and an ARB air compressor rounds out the practical upgrades. The odometer shows 80 miles, unverified. This suits a discerning collector who wants a driver-quality FJ40 that's been thoughtfully sorted rather than trailer-kept.

Exterior & Interior:
Excellent body that was completely sand blasted, primed and repainted in single stage acrylic (better than original) in Sky Blue Code T854. The body panels are still in excellent condition and the side factory rivets were never bondo’ed over. The body parts are all original to the vehicle and the front floor boards are still in excellent condition. The rear floor was removed and replaced under prior ownership. The interior of the tub was painted in a slightly textured satin black finish. This work conducted by VooDoo Cruisers 18+ years ago. Vehicle was refreshed in 2024.
The front seats were replaced with top quality Procar Elite seat with adjustable lumbar and an extended driver side base to allow for additional leg room. The rear jump seats are factory seats with new padding and recovered in a very high quality material by an expert upholsterer. All of the gauges, lights and fans work perfectly. Other features like edge guard to reduce the chance of chipping the paint while getting in and out of the vehicle were also added. We used LED bulbs in the restored instrument cluster to improve vision and ascetics. The headlights are top quality Kioto (OEM manufacturer) LED lights that will look stock but provide greatly improved nighttime visibility as well as Koito fog lamps (OEM manufacturer). We added an auxiliary power source near the factory interior lights. Front windshield replaced in 2025, vehicle was ceramic coated in 2024 along with high end window tints.

Model History: The FJ40 arrived in 1960 as Toyota's answer to the Jeep, establishing a utilitarian platform that would define global off-road capability for a generation. By 1977, the second-generation 2F engine—a robust 4.2-liter inline six producing 135 horsepower—powered the model alongside a four-speed transmission introduced in 1975. The FJ40 came in multiple wheelbase configurations: short (90-inch), medium, and long (116-inch), each suited to different markets and applications. Available as soft-top or hardtop, and in petrol or diesel variants, the FJ40 occupied a unique market position between the Jeep CJ and heavier Land Rover, becoming indispensable in remote regions worldwide. Its rugged simplicity—no power steering, no air conditioning—embodied back-to-basics off-road philosophy. Production spanned a quarter-century, ending in 1984, cementing the FJ40 as an icon of off-road heritage.
