1977 FJ-40 LAND CRUISER 5.7 LITER 4 SPEED 4X4 74,400 ORIGINAL MILES
Description
WE ARE PRESENTING THIS AWESOME FJ-40 CRUISER AS AN UNRESTORED CRUISER WITH 74,400+ ORIGINAL MILES. THE CRUISER WAS TRANSFORMED FROM THE STOCK 6 CYLINDER TO A 350 CHEVROLET 4 BARREL BY SO CAL PROS. WHILE THE ENGINE HAS LESS THAN 74,000 MILES WE DON;T KNOW HOW MANY WERE ON IT WHEN THE SWITCH TOOK PLACE BUT IT WAS CONVERTED IN 1999. THERE IS ZERO BLOW BY OR OIL LEAKS AND IT PASSES CALIFORNIA SMOG. THE CONVERSION WAS DOE BY PROS SO ALL THE SMOG TUBES, THERMACTOR PUMP AND VACUUM SOLENOIDS ARE INTACT AND OPERABLE. IT HAS THE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS STICKER INTACT AS WELL.THE BODY IS EXCELLENT AND SINCE IT GREW UP INLAND SOCAL THERE IS VERY MINIMAL SURFACE RUST . THE FJ HAS NOT BEEN UNDERCOATED AND THERE ARE NO RUST HOLES TO COVER UP ANYWHERE ON THE RIG. IT DRIVES AND STEERS VERY WELL WITHOUT SMOK, SPUTTERS, OR SHIMMIES. I WOULD FEEL GOOD DRIVING IT ANYWHERE, ANY TIME, ICE,SNOW, OR RAIN. MY WIFE COULD USE POWER STEERING ON IT BUT I HAVE NO ISSUES. IT STEERS STRAIGHT AND SMOOTHLY. ALL THE ELECTRICAL WORKS WELL, FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGE, AMP, WATER TEMP, AND I AM ADDING A NEW TACHOMETER BECAUSE IT'S A 4 SPEED.
THE SUSPENSION IS STOCK WITH A SIMPLE ADD A LEAF ON THE REAR, BRAND NEW MT SYDBYTER II 15X9 WHEELS AND NEW KMS MUD TERRAINS 31-10.50 R 15'S. THERE IS 2 MILES ON THE WHEELS AND TIRES .
THE ENGINE IS A VERY SMOOTH 350 4 BARREL WITH HEADERS, DUALS, AND EGR TUBES FOR THE SMOG SYSTEM. THERE ARE NO ISSUES MECHANICALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. IT'S IN VERY, VERY GOOD SHAPE.
WE FOUND OUT THAT THE REAR HEATERS ARE HARD TO COME BY SO WE ARE LOOKING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT WITH A HIGH OUTPUT REAR HEATER UNIT IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE ORIGINAL. THE GLASS IS TINTED AND IN AWESOME SHAPE. WE INSTALLED NEW WIPER BLADES AND THE BATTERY IS AN 800 CCA WITH 1000 AMP RATING. THE BRAKES ARE VERY STRONG WITH NEARLY 95% REMAINING ON THE FRONT DISC PADS AND NEARLY NEW REAR SHOES. AGAIN, NO ISSUES MECHANICALLY. THE DOORS CLOSE AND FIT SECURELY AND THE HINGES HAVE ZERO PLAY. THE INTERIOR SEATS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS ARE THE DOOR PANELS AND REAR JUMP SEATING.
ALL IN ALL THE LAND CRUISER NEEDS NOTHING BUT A NEW OWNER. IT WILL TAKE YOU ANYWHERE YOU FEEL THE NEED TO VENTURE.
DISCLAIMERS: THE FJ-40 DESCRIBED ABOVE IS BEING SOLD "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS" AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OF ANY KIND ON ANY PART OF THE RIG. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER/BIDDER INSPECT THE RIG TO MAKE SURE IT'S TOTALLY UP TO THE BUYER/BIDDERS STANDARDS BEFORE SPENDING YOUR $$$$$. THERE ARE MANUFACTURERS GUARANTEES ON THE WHEELS,TIRES, AND SMITTYBILT WINCH BUT THEY ARE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES, NOT OURS.
