This is a fully restored custom built 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 that is ready for daily use, show or off-roading. A no-expense spared five-year build turned this particular FJ into a stunning and even more capable 4x4 ready for just about anything. Only 300 test miles have been added since its completion.

This is a fully restored custom built 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 that is ready for daily use, show or off-roading. A no-expense spared five-year build turned this particular FJ into a stunning and even more capable 4×4 ready for just about anything. Only 300 test miles have been added since its completion. The custom two-tone white over dark green paint shows well and is in overall excellent condition. Even in direct sunlight, the car has tremendous depth, shine, and luster. While not free from blemishes, most would be hard pressed to find an issue on initial inspection. The brightwork on this FJ is largely original and in good condition. The custom ARB front bumper with integrated WARN Zeon 10 winch looks right at home on this Toyota and many will notice the three LED light bars seated on the bumper, which pair well with the aftermarket black LED headlamps and black painted grille. Adding to the overall dark theme of the accessories are 35″ Toyo Open Country M/T tires wrapped around flat-black 17″ Method wheels with Aisin front lockers. Other exterior highlights include removable doors, custom rock sliders and a custom swing-out rear tire carrier. The interior is equally custom and matches the exterior like a glove. You’ll notice immediately the custom black and olive leather upholstery along with its matching leather headliner and door panels. Dynamat sound deadening has been added to the interior, and the floors have been coated in a bedliner material and lined with rubber mats. These additions help to ensure that this will be impervious to rust and will prove to be relatively quiet and comfortable.Mechanically, this FJ runs and drives great, and understandably so. The 5.7-liter LS6 V8 crate engine comes alive with a quick twist of the key and is paired with GM’s 4L60E four-speed automatic. This electronic transmission is said to have been fitted with an aftermarket valve body, shift kit, and kick-down cable and sends the power to the wheels through a twin-stick Atlas II two-speed transfer case. Off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the Tom Woods driveshafts, a custom Toyota front axle, Dana Dynatrac 60 rear axle, and front a rear ARB air lockers.
