This 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is a left-hand-drive example that was reportedly refurbished under previous ownership in Venezuela before being imported to the US in 2019. The body was removed from the frame and refinished in red, and equipment includes power steering, air conditioning, a rear step bumper, 15″ steel wheels with all-terrain tires, and spare tire carrier. Power is provided by a 4.2-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The truck was acquired by the seller three years ago and subsequent work included installing a roll cage, bucket seats, a center console, steel half-doors, and upgraded audio components. Service performed in 2022 included mounting four tires and performing a tune-up along with replacing the battery and fluids. This 40-series Land Cruiser is now offered with a set of full doors, a removable hardtop, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
