F/S: 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

May trade for a Ducati, too.

But I think it's time to clear out the garage some, and since I'm more apt to spend my time on two wheels when the weather's nice enough to take the FJ out, and since neither are suitable for car seats ... well, suffice to say selling the Cruiser will not only make room for more bikes, it'll help finance the next one too.

So here's the deal:
1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

(the following pictures from when I picked it up, circa '98-99):

• Stock 258ci I6, 3spd 4x4 (twin shift), canary yellow
• New (as in 0mi) 33x10.50x15 SuperSwampers on black RockCrawler rims; fullsized (matching) spare included. *NOT* shown in pics above
• 99% new brake system: all drums, shoes, springs, 8 wheel cylinders (two per), master, S/S braided and all new hardlines (except the one across the firewall)
• New clutch
• Rebuilt steering, w/ Old Man Emu stabilizer in stock location
• Uprated Bosch Blue ignition
• Convertible, no hard top (bikini only), four point roll cage. Doors have been trimmed and sealed (no window glass or upper frame). The tailgate has also been welded in place.
• 3" lift
• Remote battery connection (frame-mount junction box, forward bumper deck), includes cables
• Includes some new uninstalled parts including:
  • new poly gas tank
  • OEM taillights
  • Hi-Lift mount
• Also includes tons of documentation:
  
  • factory chassis manual
  • factory drivetrain manual
  • Haynes, a handful of other stuff
• Other stuff, I'm sure i'm forgetting ...

I've had this truck since 1996/7-ish, and it has lived in a garage for all but a year of the time I've owned it. I just don't have time for it anymore, ultimately. It runs good, and my only issues were the current gas tank (hence the poly replacement) - and that's just out of paranoia - and the current exhaust set up. It has dual pipes run out the back and it sounds great, but they put the muffler directly above the rear pumpkin (dumb) - it's not a mechanical issue, but it's not the smartest place for it either.



I'm asking $3500, but I'll consider offers, and trades if it involves a Ducati! Possibly some other motorcycles. Try me. The truck and I are both in central NY. PM/Email, etc

I love FJ40s. If you were on the left coast, I might be tempted. I have an '85 4Runner myself:





Good luck selling it. Oh, you can host pictures at www.cardomain.com

Now there's a 4Runner that works. Nicely done moomba!

I took your advice and posted pics a la cardomain. Old pics, but you get the point. Only major difference is those wheels are gone. (Those huge @$$ 33x12.50s destroyed the steering, they had such a massive footprint)

Thanks...I was big time into 4wheeling before I got back into sportbikes. Sits on 35s right now but with the AllPro springs I just put in, I'm going to 39" Swampers next.

Thanks! That's exactly where I'm at; if it's nice enough to be out in a truck like the Cruiser, it's nice enough to be on two wheels, and that's where I'll be. Not only that, with an almost-two-year-old daughter, it's not exactly child-tested or mother-approved.

When we did go wheeling all the time, we took what's now my daily driver more often than not anyway - a '93 Exploder Sport. I was less concerned with things breaking on the trail (worst break: the stupid 4x4 actuator fried; that truck did more in 2wd than some of the 4by's with us) and it was a little more comfortable ride, especially since we were heading into NH, VT, MA & PA from NY. So the Cruiser's just been a fun car, and now it needs to vacate the premises ... especially so I can fit more bikes in the garage!

And yeah, I was going to comment on the yellow, too. But 39s ... damn ...
