Examples like this are not commonly available, and this is the best example of a FJ45 Troop Carrier we have ever seen and offered for sale! Recently stripped with all panels, chassis, and steel components sandblasted, then painstakingly and carefully restored and reassembled to a high standard, with a focus on originality. The stunning white paintwork pairs well with the newly reupholstered seats covered in the original grey vinyl. All the back seats are there (commonly missing), with all frames refurbished and fitted with new seatbelts for every seat. Genuine sun visors, door trims, vinyl flooring, and interior accessories add to the refreshed but original look. The engine, gearbox, differentials, hubs, brakes, and steering were completely rebuilt, now performing like new. This Land Cruiser really shows why the 2F engine is so legendary — the 6-cylinder motor has plenty of power when you want it, and otherwise you’d have to give it a good rev to even know it’s on, perfectly balanced. The low ratio 4-speed gearbox, hi\/lo 4x4, and front locking hubs make it the reliable and capable Land Cruiser it’s known for. The brakes, steering, hubs, axles, and differential have all been overhauled using genuine Toyota parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original 16” split rims have been refurbished and painted in the traditional grey colour and wrapped in the best tyres you can buy — BF Goodrich. The driving experience is tight with the addition of new upgraded shocks, shackles, bushes, tie rod ends, and a refurbished power steering unit. Sitting in the driver’s seat, it still feels like a short wheelbase as you take corners and hit the open road, only to turn around and see the entire football team in the back seats, all while doing the speed limit comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the glass is original Toyota, tinted for added privacy and making camping in the back very doable, and all back side windows slide open. The exterior is finished with new genuine lights, badges, trims, and seals. A Bluetooth head unit has been fitted with quality 6” Kicker speakers, the heater system works well when needed in winter, and there are plenty of windows and vents to let cool air in during summer, while the tinted glass helps keep the car cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Land Cruiser spent its life in rural dry areas of Australia, so the bodywork had minimal rust prior to restoration and the floors have been kept original without the need for replacement. It has also only travelled a very humble 200,000km, which is low considering these vehicles are built to never stop going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough very usable and practical, this is a reliable, easy to service, but also very collectable classic Toyota. Guaranteed to appreciate in value. If you’re in the market for a 40 Series and want something special and ready to go, this is it. There is nothing else comparable on the market and we don’t have another like this coming soon. Good buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4230cc petrol six-cylinder engine (rebuilt)\u003cbr\u003e4-speed low ratio transmission (rebuilt)\u003cbr\u003eHigh\/ low 4x4\u003cbr\u003eFront locking hubs\u003cbr\u003ePower steering\u003cbr\u003eFront disc brakes\u003cbr\u003eFloating rear axle\u003cbr\u003e11 seater\u003cbr\u003eFront \u0026amp; rear heater control\u003cbr\u003eBluetooth audio\u003cbr\u003eTinted windows\u003cbr\u003e16” split rims\u003cbr\u003eBF Goodrich tyres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXTERIOR \u0026amp; BODY WORK:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecently repainted in the original 033 white\u003cbr\u003eUnderbody coating - anti rust\u003cbr\u003eOriginal 16” steel rims with new BF Goodrich tyres\u003cbr\u003eOriginal headlights and trims\u003cbr\u003eRear sliding windows\u003cbr\u003eNew original lights, badges, handles\u003cbr\u003eNew genuine front bumper\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Toyota glass\u003cbr\u003eOriginal window and body seals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERIOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReupholstered original seats\u003cbr\u003eRefurbished seat frames - sandblasted\u003cbr\u003eNew seatbelts and buckles\u003cbr\u003eNew original sun visors, door trims, vinyl flooring, handles, winders, dashboard, foot pedal rubbers, badges, seals, trims\u003cbr\u003eBluetooth head unit and Kicker 6” speakers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECENT MECHANICAL WORK:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRebuilt engine, gearbox, differentials\u003cbr\u003eRebuilt hubs and brake system using genuine Toyota drums, pistons, brake pads, cylinders, hoses, bearings, seals\u003cbr\u003eNew starter motor \u0026amp; alternator\u003cbr\u003eNew suspension set\u003cbr\u003eRebuilt power steering unit\u003cbr\u003eNew radiator, water pump, thermostat housing, thermostat, hoses, coolant tank\u003cbr\u003eRebuilt carburettor, new fuel lines, refurbished fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eNew clutch kit\u003cbr\u003eNew battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+ ⁠Much more - those interested are encouraged to get in touch directly to speak about the restoration in detail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtras to note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppreciating in value\u003cbr\u003eLow maintenance\u003cbr\u003eServicing parts are widely available and well priced\u003cbr\u003eGlobally sought after\u003cbr\u003eRare to find a Troop Carrier so complete and in restored condition, especially in the FJ45 model with the 2F engine\u003cbr\u003eLow mileage\u003cbr\u003eRare to find a\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeller’s Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis FJ45 Land Cruiser ticks so many boxes for all the reasons mentioned above, but the highlights being it’s rare to find a Troop Carrier with the original 2F engine, low mileage, complete interior, and something that is a jump-in-and-go example.
