5.3L Vortech Motor-Swap, Color-Matched Trailer & Jerry Cans, Warn Winch.

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 holds a singularly iconic place in automotive history, solidifying Toyota's global reputation for unbreakable reliability since its introduction in 1960. As Japan's immensely capable answer to the original military utility vehicles, its simple, boxy styling and legendary chassis were built to conquer the world's most brutal terrains, from African deserts to the Australian outback. The FJ40's toughness made it a cultural icon and, for a time, Toyota's top-selling vehicle in the U.S.

The 1976 FJ40 represents one of the most desirable versions of the 40 Series, benefiting from late-production refinements that improved its comfort and braking power, including the addition of front disc brakes. While retaining its classic, timeless aesthetic—including the beloved "Olive Toyota #637" paint. Today, the FJ40 is celebrated globally by enthusiasts who seek to blend its storied heritage with cutting-edge off-road capability.

This heavily modified and exceptionally capable 1976 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser represents a unique fusion of vintage style and modern performance. Beneath the very nice body and factory-original "Olive Toyota #637" paint (updated in 2015) lies a potent, professionally installed 5.3L Vortec V8 engine paired with a 4L6E Automatic Transmission, both with only 18,000+ miles. Enhancing its already legendary off-road prowess are essential upgrades, including an Orion cast-iron transfer case, custom drive lines, Flowmaster exhaust, and a custom aluminum radiator. This FJ is turnkey and ready for any adventure, boasting front and rear disc brakes and a robust, custom-fabricated skid plate for protection.

The comprehensive modifications ensure this classic is also equipped for comfort and extreme functionality. Key features include power steering, air conditioning, cruise control, and modern convenience like electric leather seats. The off-road readiness is second to none, featuring ARB Air Lockers on both axles, a Warn XD9000i winch, onboard air, and a 4-inch lift riding on new 35-inch BFG tires. The interior has been fully refreshed with new gaskets, rubber, a new windshield, and floors sprayed with durable Line-X, complemented by a padded, lockable center console with integrated power ports and an upgraded surround sound audio system.

Completing this offering is a remarkable level of practicality and value, including an extended 40-gallon fuel tank with racks to carry an additional 35 gallons in "jerry jugs," totaling a massive 75-gallon capacity. The sale uniquely includes a custom, FJ-matching trailer, painted in Olive Toyota #637 and equipped with a sleeping platform, screened ventilation, gull-wing doors, and a canoe rack. With maintenance records available from Rob's Garage Sparks for the last 15,000 miles, this FJ40 is a meticulously cared-for, one-of-a-kind overland rig. This turn-key package offers incredible capability and is an absolute must-see for serious off-road enthusiasts and collectors.
