1977 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 Restoration "Beach Cruiser"

[@mysteriomarvel933]

His passion, dedication and attention to detail are praiseworthy. I prefer the stretched out FJ43 for a longer wheelbase and to use it more as a useful daily driver. Nothing compare to first generation Ford Broncos and old school Toyota FJ landcruisers. Simple..utilitarian no BS...no frills just hit the trail and go. Wish Toyota would re-release this truck...cheers Greg!

Love the way you did a conservative restoration on this FJ. I had the thrill of owning two 79 FJ40s in Olive back in the 80s when I was in HS and College. I ran the American Racing 15 inch white wagon wheels which I think looked great on these FJs. Lots of memories in these FJs. Hope to own one again in the future. I recall on the 79s there was a blower fan on the left fender that would blow air over the master cylinder and carburetor to prevent vapor lock.

Thanks! Yeah the customer was trying to bring back some memories of his previous landcruiser. If you ever need another landcruiser let us know! I believe they started that in 78 with the carb cooling fan

Nice to know there’s a great shop near me! I’m in RI and will take delivery of a 73 soft top in Pueblo brown with an upgraded 2F and a 4 spd. Just need to find a new top.

A 'body on' restoration sounds less expensive. Staying with leaf springs in front with a two-inch lift and new shocks/ tires - do those 32x11.50-15's rub the springs, ever? A fantastic job down to every detail. I sold Toyotas in the mid-seventies and my brother loaned me his - love the old FJ's. My first car was a '66 IH Scout 80 with 4-speed, lockouts, full-top. A new set of H70-15's (P225x70-15) soon followed - Goodyear Polyglas R.W.L - they rubbed on the front and rear of the front leaf springs in a tight spot. Talk about 'bare bones' - dreaming of a Toyota FJ like this!

[@gregsrestorations7019]

The tires were the perfect size, did not rub at all. It's the perfect ride!

[@williambayh1574]

IF there were a valid reason/ excuse to hit a trail, what a difference your mods would make on so many situations. I have only experienced the O.E. tire size. Your tire size choice looks perfect, too. A lottery win away from doing business! @@gregsrestorations7019

Great looking FJ40. I have one and have been wanting to put a stainless steel header (6 into ) and a complete modified exhaust on my vehicle. What type of performance did you notice by doing this modification? More power, exhaust note, fuel economy etc. Thanks

[@gregsrestorations7019]

We noticed a little more power & fuel economy. Not much change in sound tone

I am in the NE, what would something like this go for? Any available?

[@bagas2358]

What size are the tires and rims?

[@gregsrestorations7019]

I say it in the video

[@KevinRodgers-s4x]

So honestly, what does something like that cost? I have a 78 FJ40 I want to turn into my daily driver and am not sure where to start. I would like to get an idea of the cost?
