1982 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Landcruiser 4wd Fj-40 California Original 4x4 on 2040-cars
Santa Ana, California, United States
1982 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40 HARDTOP
Timeless Toyota Quality and Original
California Vehicle Simple, Classic, and Tough I purchased
this vehicle from its previous owner in March of 2010. The vehicle was sold new in 1982 at a local
dealership in Anaheim, California and retains its original blue CA license
plates. Over the
last four years of ownership, I have invested countless hours and thousands of
dollars on the cruiser to bring it to its current condition. The cruiser was kept in dry storage for many
years and was covered with dust after sitting in a large wood working shop. The cruiser
wears its original paint color also known as Toyota Beige (464). The exterior of the truck looks great from 5
feet away. At some point in its life,
the driver’s side appears to have had some paint and body work which must have
been completed several years ago as the vehicle maintains its retro orange pin
striping throughout. There are various
areas on the driver’s side where the paint is beginning to chip. I removed the fiberglass cap, front bezel
and had the five original steel wheels sandblasted, power coated and
professionally painted using PPG paint in Toyota White (033). Next, I had the headliner installed by a
local upholstery shop using a factory reproduction headliner sold by Specter
Off Road. While the top was off, I proceeded
to install new OEM weather stripping for both the fiberglass cap and hard
top. A reproduction front bumper was
painted using Cruiser Corps OEM Pewter paint and two new OEM Toyota bumperettes
were fitted in the rear. The interior
of the cruiser is in great shape. The
front and rear factory floor mats are in good shape as are the front and rear
jump seats. The driver’s seat bottom
appears to have been re-covered with matching grey vinyl. All seat belts are present and
functional. All switches, knobs and
controls appear to be working as they should.
The dash and sun visors are in good condition. The front door panels have been altered to
fit aftermarket speakers which are not connected at this time. In addition, an aftermarket Audiovox AM/FM
cassette player was installed in the factory location. The center console is original and has a
small crack on the ashtray. The vehicle has no A/C or Power Steering. The front floorboards are rust free and the
rear cargo area has only surface rust typical of the felt underlayment material
used under the rear factory rubber floor mat.
There are two small spots of corrosion below the ‘Toyota’ emblem on the
passenger rear quarter panel (see photos).
The underbody and frame are in good condition and free of major rust or
corrosion for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically,
the vehicle has plenty of power and runs strong. The 4-Speed transmission shifts smoothly and
the 4WD functions as it should. The
odometer reads just over 126k miles (4k average for its 32 years of life). Recently, a valve adjustment, valve cover
gasket, and steering arm were installed by Mark’s Off Road Enterprises in
Burbank, CA. I have had the carb rebuilt several
times. The first rebuild was completed by
Mark’s Off Road and the second rebuild was completed by the same shop used by
Specter Off Road (SOR) in order to pass strict California emissions
standards. This is a California model
and retains all factory smog and emissions hoses and equipment. Next, a new exhaust manifold gasket was
fitted. The cruiser has a new catalytic
converter and newer exhaust and muffler.
The truck appears to have a 2-inch suspension and anti-inversion
shackles which were also installed by the previous owner. The front axle was rebuilt and the front
knuckles have been serviced. Also, a
new transfer/trans gasket, oil pan gasket, and rear engine seal were
replaced. The drive shaft was balanced
and lubricated. A new EverStart Marine
battery was also installed in April of 2012.
California Smog Check certificate included with the sale as I just had
the vehicle smogged on 5/12/14. Current
registration and tags are good through April of 2015. The truck shifts smoothly, accelerates nicely
and has plenty of power. The tires are
30x9.5LT Bridgestone Dueler A/T in good shape; the spare is a mismatched tire
that will need to be replaced. This is not
a museum quality cruiser. If you’re
after a perfect cruiser, I suggest checking out www.tlc4x4.com as these guys have some amazing

nice looking Land Cruiser that you can drive daily and are not afraid to take

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.
Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit
Fri, 02 Aug 2013Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.
