As a longer-wheelbase counterpart of the iconic FJ40, this 1970 Toyota FJ43 Land Cruiser has been restored and upgraded for versatile use. Powered by a fully rebuilt 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, it is refinished in Audi Nardo Grey over a black interior. It features a Weber carburetor with electric choke, Old Man Emu suspension lift, reupholstered seating, and 15” steel wheels wrapped in new BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, and more. This meticulously restored FJ43 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of California.

This two-door example represents the medium-wheelbase variant of Toyota’s FJ40. It has been refinished in Audi Nardo Grey as part of a comprehensive restoration, including new glass throughout. Exterior features include a removable body-color hardtop with a contrasting white roof, a steel front bumper, fold-down windshield, side mirrors, and fender-mounted turn signals. It rides on 15” steel wheels fitted with 33×10.5” BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, including a matching rear-mounted spare. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

Inside, the cabin features reupholstered seating, including low-back front bucket seats in black vinyl and inward-facing rear bench seats in white vinyl, complemented by body-color metal surfaces. It has a new headliner, a glove box, and has been pre-wired for an audio system. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order.

Power comes from a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six that was rebuilt by Import Auto in Santa Barbara, with the crankshaft machined by Engine Tech Machine in Santa Maria, California. The rear or all four wheels are driven through a rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. A new Weber carburetor with electric choke was installed, along with a new wiring harness by Cory Motors. It also manually locks front hubs and power-assisted brakes at all four corners.

This sale will include the owner’s manuals, a spare tire, a car cover, and a clean title.

The seller would like you to know: “I originally built it for myself as a gear hauler and have other projects I am working on. I built this FJ43 Land Cruiser as the ultimate personal adventure rig-purpose-built to haul beach and hiking gear, tackle back roads, and venture wherever the trail leads. More than just a build, it's been a trusted companion for chasing sunsets, weekend escapes, and making the most of summer. From sandy shores to mountain trails to picnics at the beach or out in the country, it's ready for whatever the journey brings.
