Offered for sale is this rugged and modified 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, finished in white over a black interior.

The exterior paint shows imperfections consistent with age and use, while the body remains solid with good panel fit and no rust.

Inside, the Line-X coated interior offers durability and easy maintenance, with the black vinyl seating, roll cage, and trim all in good usable condition.

The truck starts, runs, and drives strong, making it a turnkey FJ40 you can confidently drive and enjoy as-is.
