FJ Cruiser Restoration - Today we’ll be showing you one of the better projects we’ve come across in time – an impeccably restored Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40. Built in 1977, this jewel of a vehicle has stood the test of time, but has not managed to shake the rust issue that comes with age.
By far the most reliable 4x4 ever built, not poorly built like a Land Rover or Jeep, mine has 342k on the clock and on the original head, axles are 4 to 5 times as strong as Jeep Rubicons, and to make it better they came from the factory with front and rear e-lockers.
