Here's an original Freeborn Red (code 309) 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 83000 miles, Power Steering and Air Conditioning that has been lovingly cared for over the decades. There has been regular maintenance and the owner has done what is needed along the way to keep the Land Cruiser looking and running good.

Details & Condition

This gal has survived over three decades while remaining essentially stock. She has a precious few of the nicks and scratches that come with 35 years of age but any owner would be proud of her overall condition. She runs and drives great and has been lovingly maintained. You will NOT find diamond plate, fender flares, 8-track tape decks, CB antenna holes, bed lining, jerry cans, roof racks, a V8 or other modifications. The inline six cylinder purrs quietly and the steering, clutch and 4-Wheel Drive transmission are all in good working order as they should be for a vehicle with 83,000 miles. The floors are all solid, all turn signals, lights, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly. Much of the paint appears to be original. Stock wheels and hubcaps, original mats, all new upholstery (it was cloth due to the Palm Springs climate). Body and undercarriage is well preserved by desert climate. The Cruiser has chrome accents and for those of you who prefer paint over chrome, I have pulled together the "de-bling" kit which includes all the door hinges, hood hinges, kick vents and fuel door. The FJ40 suspension is comprised of rugged solid axles, new leaf springs from Specter Off Road that provides an additional 2.5" of ground clearance, shackles and Pro Comp shock absorbers at both ends. This FJ40 has factory Power Steering which makes it effortless to drive. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up legendary off-roading prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination for quick and responsive braking. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a military style pintle hook. Under it all you will find 15 inch OEM Gray steel wheels with new 31x10.50 Yokohama tires and Warn hubs.

Inside this classic you will find the original seats covered in new, factory correct vinyl. The interior door panels, mats, dashpad and headliner are in beautiful condition. Between the seats you will find the original console topped off with a vintage Con-Ferr center console with gray vinyl armrest. Below the dashpad, you will find some nice upgrades. The radio has been replaced with a Pioneer AM/FM/CD with free standing 6x9 speakers in gray carpeted boxes in back. The little impossibly dim green light under the dash pad has been replaced with a light that actually allows you to see the controls at night. The clear stock gauges and controls all work well and for extra added comfort, you'll stay nice and cool on hot summer days with air conditioning designed by Cool Cruisers.

A little Land Cruiser History - 1978 was a great year for the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. By 1978 you had the ambulance doors in the rear that replaced the old lift/tailgate, larger square front Turn Signals with side markers. Wipers were moved to bottom of windshield. 4:11 gearing provided excellent off road performance. Front disk brakes, Tubular spare tire mount, Pop-out rear windows gave passengers in back some fresh air. (End of History lesson)

Summary

Other than described, this is a beautiful unmolested, factory-original FJ40 that you can drive everyday and like all nice FJ40's, will attract a small following of admiring fans! Quality vintage Land Cruisers like this represent the most FUN investment you can make and have been appreciating wildly over the past few years! This FJ40 includes the Owners manual, Toolkit, Jack, Jack rods. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 5 business days. Please click the link below and look at all the pictures and feel free to call me at 515-864-1275 to discuss any questions you may have.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-ChiefÂ Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Toyota recalls power window switches for 6.5 million vehicles [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 21 2015

UPDATE: There was one incident of someone in the US getting a burn to the hand from this issue Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that. "We have 11 reports where part of the door trim and/or switch was burnt," she said. The company isn't aware of any crashes from the problem, though. Because of a potential short circuit in the driver's side power window switch, Toyota is recalling 6.5 million vehicles worldwide, Reuters reports. Of those, the automaker says around 2 million are in the US. The affected models here are: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD According to Toyota, the switch might not have received adequate lubricant grease during manufacturing, and over time this could lead to a short circuit. In a worst-case scenario, the part might even overheat, melt and cause a fire. As a fix, dealers will inspect the component on these vehicles and apply heat-resistant grease to it, and any broken examples will have an internal circuit board replaced. Toyota already issued one recall for this problem in 2012 when it had to repair 7.5 million vehicles globally from the 2007-2009 model years, including 2.5 million in the US. These latest models had the grease applied in a different way. Related Video: Toyota Recalls Certain Vehicles for Power Window Master Switch October 21, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 2,000,000 vehicles related to the driver's side Power Window Master Switch. The involved vehicles include certain: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD The Power Window Master Switch in the involved vehicles may have been manufactured with insufficient lubricant grease. If not enough grease is applied, under certain conditions the switch may develop a short circuit that can cause the switch assembly to overheat and melt. A melting switch can produce smoke and potentially lead to a fire. Toyota previously recalled certain 2007-2009 model year vehicles for a similar condition.
