I've perused the various other FJ40 Land Cruisers for sale here, and this one is honest. No diamond plate covering rust, no fresh paint over filler over rust, no missing body seams or spot welds, no crappy modifications, no major parts (hard tops, etc.) missing, actually runs, drives, and stops reliably... This may not be the flashiest (40 year old paint rarely is), but it's HONEST. I regret to inform you that there IS some rust, and there is some filler over said rust (sorry, previous owner did it), but it's out in the open and I point it all out in the first video below. I also have given you my absolute best attempt at a virtual test drive with the hope that a video is worth a thousand photos and a photo is worth a thousand words, so you've got about an HOUR of many many thousands of words worth of information to show absolutely everything you could possibly want to know about this truck to feel comfortable buying it. This is not the first car I've sold on eBay (the second actually), and the buyer of the first car was very very pleased and we still talk from time to time. Please bid with confidence, and don't hesitate to ask questions or for additional photos or videos.

History (to the best of my ability and knowledge)
Originally sold in Englewood, CO (Denver suburb)
Original owner worked for the Denver Post Office driving trucks and put ~124,000 miles on it He drove it to and from work
appears to have done some light off roading
put what I believe was a jerry can holder on the passenger side fender over the rear wheel (four holes)
had front seats recovered with very high quality seat covers (I thought they were factory from another vehicle for quite a while and even went so far as to locate another set of original seats)
Second owner was a diesel mechanic living in Lakewood, CO (another Denver suburb) for a mining company.
He immediately took it off the road and put a total of about 5 miles on it over approximately 7 years
While in his possession he:
took it apart
rebuilt both axles end to end
replaced or rebuilt the radiator (brass core)
put filler over the rust
repainted part of the emissions cover
put a chrome Harley horn cover over the drivers side horn
replaced the battery tray with a quality home made diamond plate job
I purchased it (and live in the mountains about 30 minutes west of Denver), got it on the road and made it my daily driver after moving up here.
While in my possession over the past <5,000 miles I put it all back together and:
sprayed some primer over the PO's filler job
adjusted all of the doors and tire hanger
new battery
new tires (Cooper Discoverer M/S studded)
Pertronix ignition points, coil, and spark plug wires (original wiring unmodified and original points, condenser, and coil retained)
rebuilt carburetor
adjusted valves
replaced valve cover gasket
replaced lift gate handle
installed new three point retractable seat belts in front (using factory holes)
installed new Toyota two point seat belts on jump seats
had gas tank boiled, patched, and lined
finely tuned the carburetor with a wideband tuner at ~6,000' (stock sea level jets are in the jet holders on the carb)
replaced all fluids
adjusted brakes
new fuel pump
new gear reduction starter
replaced drivers front suspension bushings (I decided to order greaseable shackle instead of reusing originals mid-job, and never got back around to it)
Installed new SOR floor mats
lubricated and adjusted all controls
replaced ignition key barrel, had gas door lock rekeyed to match, had keys cut for doors
replaced ignition switch
cleaned OE washer motor
cleaned OE turn signal relay
new OEM bumperettes from Toyota
replaced tire swingout bumper with more effective piece
replaced emissions fuel tank return check valve (NLA) with directional fuel filter (not perfect, but it's working pretty well)
Parts missing:
OE hubcaps (available new from Toyota)
"Land Cruiser" scripts over front fenders
"TOYOTA" script from rear corner
"4 Wheel Drive" script from rear corner
OE jack, handle, tire iron, and tool kit
passenger side jump seat retainer strap
Extra parts included:
OE wheels
an extra set of front seats
brand new SOR headliner in a box
a few extra oil filters
a box of miscellaneous hardware, small parts, original parts that were replaced
and a giant stack of receipts and documentation
Compression cylinders 1-6 (original spec is 155 lbs at sea level, ~127 lbs at 6,000'): 116, 116, 109, 105, 106, 116
Emissions results (only noted where there were limits)
HC PPM Idle: 42/1000 2500 RPM: 16/1000
CO% Idle: 1.33/3.00 2500 RPM: .12/3.00
The top genuinely appears to have never been off: see videos linked above for details on this (and much more).
Buyer may arrange auto transport, fly in and drive it home (I'm fully confident it will get you home). Additionally, if you'll pay for the gas, a return flight, any necessary hotels, and you're willing to work with my schedule, I'll even deliver it personally anywhere in the contiguous US.
This truck has not been subjected to a V8 conversion. There's nothing wrong with V8s, and they can be done well, but I've seen a V8 conversion that was so bad the frame flexed if you turned the steering wheel while parked.
This truck has its original paint. That means you won't find out a year down the road that some unscrupulous seller polished a turd. Always beware fresh paint on an old car...
I'm selling simply because we need the money (I could go into the sob story as to why, but you probably don't need or want to know) badly enough to sell my truck and trade down to something less awesome.
I've tried to be as detailed and forthcoming as possible in the videos. I've bought enough old cars to know how easy it is to miss something or to conveniently have some wrinkled body work or rust just off camera. This truck is as honest as they come from an area that gets very little precipitation and doesn't use road salt. If there are any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate. If I failed to capture some detail on video that you'd like to see, ask and I'll do what I can to provide all photographic or videographic information possible. Thanks for reading/watching, and happy bidding!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.

The automotive sector made a hash of the numbers last month, a mess of pluses and minuses clogging the transaction-price charts according to Kelley Blue Book. The overall industry rose one percent, even though buyers bought fewer cars and light vehicles in January 2018 vs 2017 using the selling-day adjusted rate. Due to January transaction prices rising to $36,270, a record for January, the value of new vehicles sold climbed more than $1 billion compared to January 2017. KBB's transaction prices don't include customer incentives, which changes the complexion slightly; average incentive spending rose to just over ten percent. The average transaction price in December 2017 was $36,756, so January dropped a bit - nothing unexpected, with the month annually blamed for "January doldrums." More revealing is the fact that the average transaction price in January 2017 was $34,910. This year's plumped-up figure came courtesy of the continued shift to crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's read an automotive blog in the past 20 years. That category comprised nearly 70 percent of new vehicle sales for the month. Some manufacturers profited more than others, though. Fiat Chrysler managed 12.8 percent fewer sales in January compared year-on-year, but the company's vehicles sold for $1,300 more. The Ford brand suffered a 6.3-percent dip in sales, but brand transaction prices increased $2,000, while a Lincoln sold for $8,700 more on average. General Motors sold more cars and sold them for more money; overall GM transaction prices rose four percent, or $1,270, while a GMC traded hands for seven-percent more than in January 2017 and a Cadillac got $2,300 more on average. Of KBB's listed automakers, the Volkswagen Group got the most of out its customers, transaction prices rising at the German automaker by 5.6 percent to $42,243 in January 2018 compared to a year earlier. American Honda followed with a 4.3-percent increase to $28,991, GM in third at 4.1 percent to $40,313. Find your next car at Autoblog using our new and used car listings or the Car Finder tool. Broken out by segment, minivans rocked the table, transaction prices leaping by 7.9 percent to $35,380 compared to January a year earlier. Luxury cars boasted the next-highest rise, at 3.6 percent to $58,533.

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.
