TOYOTA FJ43 1978

This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 was imported to Buenaventura, Colombia in 1979, where it reportedly had two owners in the same family. It was acquired by the seller about two years ago and imported to the US last month. Work under the seller’s ownership has included a repaint in red and white, reupholstering the interior, rebuilding the 4.2L inline-six, and more. Features include manually-engaged front hubs, rear troopie-style seating, a folding windscreen, and grey painted steel wheels. The truck is equipped with a 4-speed manual, and a certificate from Toyonorte is included in the sale. This FJ is now offered for sale with a clean Florida title in the name of the seller’s company.

This example received a repaint in its original red while in Colombia, and the white hard top was refinished at the same time. New front and rear bumpers were installed during the updates, and the prepped side-steps are shown in the gallery below.

The seller notes that the rear trunk area was replaced and factory Toyota parts were used when possible. The grey steel wheels carry a set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires.

The 4.2L inline-six was rebuilt according to the seller. In the past month, the truck has been serviced with an oil change along with additional electric repairs. The engine is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission, and the seller states that the truck is a strong driver.

Additionally, the seller has uploaded multiple exterior, interior, and undercarriage photos of the car while work was performed in Colombia.
