1978 Toyota Land Cruiser

1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser â?" Restored Body, Undercarriage, and 2F inline-6 Why This Car Is Special The 1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser sits at the top of the vintage four-wheel-drive market for good reason. By 1978, the FJ40 had been refined over two decades into one of the most capable and durable off-road vehicles ever built. Toyota introduced the FJ40 body style in 1960 and continued producing it through 1984, giving the platform an unusually long production run that speaks to how well the design worked. In the United States, the FJ40 competed directly with the Jeep CJ-5 and CJ-7, but it consistently outpaced them in long-term reliability, particularly in the drivetrain and frame. That reputation has only grown with time, and clean, restored examples like this one have become genuinely difficult to find.
