Details
This custom 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser seamlessly blends timeless style with modern technology. This truck was originally a stock FJ43 that underwent a comprehensive custom build by The FJ Company in 2020-2021 and evolved into their G43-S Heritage model and now has just 1,890 km since that time. This transformation involved the integration of all new and modern mechanical components, propelling this classic into the contemporary era and enhancing its ride and capability. Power is created by a custom Toyota 4.0L V6 1GR-FE engine, with an optional Magnuson Supercharger, coupling to all four wheels through a robust five-speed manual transmission. The paint is a subtle yet captivating Beige (464) paired with brown leather Recaro seats that offer style and comfort.
Under the classic exterior, significant upgrades provide superior performance including a modern front coil spring suspension, auto-locking hubs, and essential safety features such as electronic vehicle stability control, traction control, ABS, and a Borla muffler. Aesthetically, this truck stands out with custom 16-inch wheels by Braid for The FJ Company, a retro-styled grille, custom mirrors, bumpers, and added fog lights, maintaining an iconic look while integrating modern touches.
Inside, the vehicle boasts a Vintage Air HVAC system, retractable shoulder belts, and a backup camera, and includes a console-mounted Double-Din stereo equipped with CarPlay/AndroidAuto. Rear inward-facing benches are also covered in brown leather and provide plenty of room for passengers or fold when not in use. The result is a supremely capable custom Land Cruiser that feels equally at home at car shows and around town as it does in the mountains.
This custom FJ43 is available in Miami, FL as a Premium Listing on offered by Guillermo Lopez-Castro.
