1966 Toyota FJ45 1966 Toyota FJ45

For your consideration is an Incredibly built FRAME OFF RESTORATION 1966 LAND CRUISER SWB TURBO CUMMINS BIO-DIESEL FJ45.  

All work performed by a master mechanic.  This is a true Expedition Rig in a RestoMod format.   The fuel intake heater, commonly used on semi's, mated with 5spd transmission and 3.73 Marks gearing, gives this incredible fuel/mile range.  This LC can be driven on any road- ready for your trip to Central America with HWY speeds of up to 70mph.  The 37" MTR's, flexing roll cage, BILSTEIN SHOCKS, OLD MAN EMU SPRINGS and Spring Over Axle conversion, allow for a 'Cadillac like' off-road experience, while the ULTRA LOW 4wd gearing, BOBBY LONGFIELD SPLINES and ARB locking front/rear hubs, give this FJ the extreme ability to crawl the most severe Rubicon trail.  The short wheel base allows for severe approach angles, virtually eliminating getting hung up on anything, unlike the FJ55 or LWB trucks.  Only your stomach will limit what you roll this dooms day rig down, but relax knowing this has Toyota Disc brakes for extreme stopping power.
This frame off restoration custom cruiser was built for the aficionado who wants the best! Monitor your journey with the Aviation grade WesTach gauges, waterproof ARB switches, LED interior and exterior lighting, LED rear and front view monitor, with work undercarriage and rear lighting.  Custom stereo system with acrylic sub woofer case, 6 directional mid and high range audiophile speakers, cross-overed from a hugely powered amplifier.  No head unit to fuss with, this rig possesses Bluetooth connectivity for your iPhone and Android and also allows phone calls through the Cobra CB and PA system.  Sit back in reclining bucket seats with 2 stage seat heaters and enjoy your Cuban cigar and Filson gear in style!!  Original ashtray included.  Vintage Air heater and defroster with A/C capability.  The wipers are Nautical grade ONGARO with a programming delay processor chip (an Achilles heel of FJ40's has been mastered in this vehicle).  
Original paint and body encapsulates an engineering marvel.  Externally it's what the Japanese refer to as Wabi-Sabi: which represents a comprehensive aesthetic centered on the acceptance of imperfection.  

I have over $95,000 invested in this Land Cruiser.
