This 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was imported to the United States in September 2021 following a refurbishment carried out in Venezuela, and it was later acquired by the seller on BaT in January 2022. The truck is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. It is finished in green with white roof over tan vinyl upholstery and features a removable hardtop, 16” black steel wheels, manually locking front hubs, air conditioning, rear jump seats, and a Kenwood head unit. Work under current ownership has reportedly included replacing the fuel tank, carburetor, battery, instrument panel, and various hardware and trim elements. This FJ40 is now offered in Georgia with literature, spare parts, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The truck wears a repaint in green with a white roof, and exterior features include a fold down windshield, steel front bumper, LED headlights, a vented hood, dual side mirrors, integrated side steps, a rear-mounted spare tire, and dual rear bumperettes. Work under current ownership has reportedly included refinishing the spare tire carrier and replacing the front bumper, windshield rest, tailgate strut, front signal lights, tail light lenses, hood latches, badging, and mirrors. Signs of corrosion are noted on hardware.

Black-painted 16″ steel wheels are mounted with 285/75 Ironman All Country M/T tires. The truck is equipped with manually locking Aisin front hubs and a Rough Country suspension lift kit.

The cabin features front bucket seats, inward-facing jump seats, and a dash pad upholstered in brown vinyl. Features include a Kenwood stereo and GlobalAir air conditioning. The seller notes that work under current ownership has included installing floor mats, overhauling the window regulators, and replacing the rear-view mirror, glovebox brace, and shifter and transfer-case knobs. A tear is noted in the driver’s seat.

The instrument cluster was replaced under current ownership, and the seller notes that some of the auxiliary instrumentation remains disconnected. The five-digit odometer shows 34 miles, and total mileage is unknown.

The carbureted 4.2-liter 2F inline-six features a single carburetor and is said to have been overhauled in Venezuela approximately two years ago. Work under current ownership has reportedly included replacing the fuel tank, fuel sending unit, battery, and carburetor.

Power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.
