1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 combines the original truck’s simple, rugged character with a well-chosen set of off-road upgrades. Said to have spent most of its life in California, it underwent a body-off refurbishment in 2013 that included an Arctic White repaint, a refreshed interior, and overhauls of its 3.9-liter F inline-six and three-speed manual transmission.
Power is sent through a dual-range transfer case to Selectro manually locking front hubs, keeping the drivetrain faithful to the FJ40’s utilitarian roots. The truck rides on 15-inch Ultra alloy wheels wrapped in 31×10.50-inch Toyo Open Country M/T tires, with Rancho shocks helping handle rougher terrain.
The removable hardtop carries a Garvin roof rack loaded with useful expedition gear, including a full-size spare, two jerry cans, a shovel, axe, and off-road jack. KC auxiliary lights sit on both the roof basket and front bumper, while a WARN winch, headlight guards, rear step, and swing-away spare carrier add to its trail-ready setup.
