Here’s a very nice Dune Beige 1977 FJ40. A beautiful example of this desirable model year and color, this rig will cruise down the highway straight-on at 60mph with just one hand on the wheel. This truck did not warrant a frame-off, just minor improvements here and there. This is a truck you can have fun driving day in and day out.
Unlike many FJ40's out there, this FJ40 has been well sorted out and everything works. There are no rattles, very tight going down the road. Runs superb! The transfer case and transmission shift smoothly, all gauges, interior dash and dome lights, exterior lights, turn signals, brake lights, wipers, stock heater, AM/FM radio, original service light in glovebox . . . you name it, it works. She always draws the attention and admiration of car enthusiasts at the gas station or wherever she’s parked.
