Details

This restored 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 pickup is powered by a 4.2L inline-six (2F) engine capable of sending power to all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The truck wears a fresh coat of beige paint and is newly upholstered in camel brown leather. Modifications include aftermarket A/C, USB ports, and GPS/backup camera touchscreen with Bluetooth. Mechanical upgrades include power steering and front disc brakes along with a 90s era Toyota rear axle. The odometer shows 4,888 km on the rebuilt engine, but the total mileage is unknown. This truck was restored in Colombia, where it spent most of its life, and now resides in Bryan, Texas.

Third-party photos and inspection were performed. The truck's exterior shows well, with only minor scratches consistent with the low mileage. The interior has fresh brown leather upholstery free of tears and fading. The dash is in good condition, and the paint looks bright and clean. The backup camera and GPS are nice modern additions that fit well in the cabin, as does the modern A/C. There were no odors detected, but the inspection found some oil seepage on the engine. Despite struggling to start when cold, the engine did turn over and ran smoothly. A video of the engine running can be seen in the report. Included in the sale are copies of original documentation from Colombia as well as three sets of keys and 2 remotes. The truck is also fitted with a fire extinguisher.

This FJ45 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Bryan, Texas.

About the model

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup is a variant of the FJ45. With its longer wheelbase compared to the more traditional FJ40, it was highly regarded for its utility and durability. It was produced until 1984 in Japan, and by Toyota Venezuela until 1986, but the US market would stop receiving original samples at some point in the late 1960's.
