1974 TOYOTA FJ40 Land Cruiser Restoration Timelapse

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.พ. 2020
- Timelapse of full frame-off no expense spared restoration of a 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Process took one year. 1400 hours give or take. Completely stock down to the original floor mat with exception of shocks and later model doors. Painted with single-stage beige just like the original.
Got an LC you want restored? Resto-mod? Give me a call. We've imported Toyota Land Cruisers from Costa Rica and are familiar with the process. If you wish to hire me to go to Costa Rica and find you one that is possible. I am also registered to buy vehicles and drive in Colombia and I actually recommend importing an LC from there. I am intimate with the process of searching, working with local mechanics, shipping, and exporting/importing. There are a lot of duds down there but I know what to look for. We have contacts in both countries to help us source. Inquire within on the channel page!

My brother and grandfather left me a 73 fj40. I'm far from mechanically inclined. Been slowly trying to rebuild it. When I get discouraged or stuck with frustration I watch this video to give me a little bit of motivation. I'll drive her some day... take her up the mountain to the pond we all used to fish at...
Your patience and talent diserve my all thanking and vibes!!!!! your father 's love ..
Dude, this was not just a rebuild video. This was pure passion and for me a beautiful journey down the memory lane :)
I got an Fj-40 1984 and though I didn’t know jack about fixing trucks, I never let a mechanic touch it. Learnt and did all the fixes on my own. There is something about the Fj40 that can’t be compared with anything else out there. It was love at first sight and I still can’t get over her after all these years 😃
Thank you for the most beautiful experience.
And I get all proud of myself after I change the oil and brakes on my truck. Crazy mad, MIND boggling set of skills on display here! AMAZING finished product. Very, very envious!
I learned to drive of one of these in 1983, when I was 16 years old... My dream to have one is not cancelled yet... Good job!!!
This is simply awesome. I used to ride one of these in my childhood. Great job done. I want this FJ40.
My uncle has one just like this one but 79, he was ASTONISHED by how amazing the restoration was!
Big props!
What a great frame-off restoration time laps presentation! My first FJ 40 was a new 1972 white I 'lost' that in a trade and later purchased a new 1976 yellow which I traded in as well. Then I bought a new 2007 FJ Cruiser silver which I still have and intend driving until I can't. These machines were made to do one thing only and do it extremely well, climb! That they do!
Absolutelu amazing timelapse! Beautifull FJ! Thanks you! This video goes to my favourites.
Inexplicable feelings Because every step is very attentive and responsible Glad to see works resurrecting forgotten things back to life Thank you for allowing me to see this. Encouraged the team
your words re great..
let us encourage them to do so like that more an more bro.
Jee mate great restoration down to every detail gotta love 40seires LandCruisers.
That will last another life time!
This man clearly knew what he was doing.
Very impressive work.
Nicely done. I remember being a teen when these came out and we went to a dealer and sat in a new one, sadly I could not afford one but this rebuild is as nice and clean as the new one I remember. Bravo, job well done.
I really enjoyed watching this restoration video. I love Toyota and seeing someone keep these classics in fantastic shape and useable is a testament to the value of these iconic vehicles. Absolutely a great job!
Wonderful restoration work! I have so many lovely memories with Land Cruiser FJ40. Well done!
Bravo. One of the most beatifuls 4x4 in the history of automotive. Great work.
Thank you for showing us the total rebuild of your '74 FJ40.
Your Restoration has brought this back to NEW. 1400 hrs of hard work, timelapse and editing, well deserved.
I worked in the Toyota Factory in Durban, South Africa ( now Retired) and fondly remember being in the Assembly Hall where the FJ40 was on my Production Line.
My Brother in Law had the LHD Diesel, ''SMOKY''. (We drive RHD's in South Africa).
I couldn't stop watching this. It is wonderful to watch people who are good at understanding what needs to be done. I am not one of those people when it comes to cars. Thanks for the effort, i appreciated it.
Flat out incredible. Amazed at the skill and craftsmanship to build this. Great job.
Wow, what a fantastic job on one of the most iconic Toyota's of all times (for me at least). Thanks for your efforts!
An obvious amount of work went in to this restoration, Truly an amazing result. Good job 😊
What an incredible achievement. You have a remarkable set of admirable skills sir. Well done! 👏
Too beautiful for words. You chose the perfect color. Absolutely OUTSTANDING job!
Very tidy resto, i'm Rover owner who also appreciates the FJ 40's. It will last for decades. Excellent work.
Beautiful! I had a pale blue '73 I bought new, and I swear that was the most honestly built vehicle I ever owned. You treated your '74 with respect and did a beautiful job.
(Mine had the older style door handles, the little French doors at the rear with a lift gate above, a separate factory heater in the rear, and IIRC less padding on the dash.) 😉
I cried when you started it!! 😭😭😭 Great job man!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing job guys !! You send me back in time when i made some restorations too. What an exhausting task, but when you finish , you seat on a chair with a bourbon and music and just your eyes travel at all the details. That feeling is priceless. God bless you all.
Il restauro più meticoloso che abbia mai visto! Una meraviglia!
Big RESPECT!! No shortcuts. A proper restoration! Your dad would be proud!
How much and how can i see8
Молодцы мужики,столько труда вложено в этот крузак!!!
Voces deram uma aula de engenharia, voces estão de parabéns!!! Detalhes maravilhosos na construção, ficou melhor que a construção original. You gave an engineering class, you are to be congratulated !!! Wonderful details in the construction, it was better than the original construction.
Thanks for the memories. I learnt to drive on a FJ40. Awesome work.
That was amazing. You are one talented guy. My dad, brother, and I did that to a 68 Land Cruiser. It had a 350 Chevy in it. We put a automatic transmission and power steering in it. We took it down to the axles, cleaned, painted, and restored a few things. Nothing like what you had to do. My Land Cruiser was nine years old when we did it. This video brought back good memories with my dad and brother. I’m 68 now, wish I hadn’t sold the Land Cruiser. Bad decision on my part. Again, amazing job, and thanks for sharing your journey with this Land Cruiser. 👍
Beautiful job, I wish i had the patience and talent to do this. Congratulations on a spectacular
result.
Man! What an awesome restoration! I wish I had your skills my friend... congratulations on such an epic build! Blessings 🙏🏻
holy shit man great job. last anther life time. now i want to do this to my 40
I had an 82 BJ-40.
You did a phenomenal job.
I did the same to an ‘80 fj40 as a “hobby in the garage “ I called it. Painted it the Same color. No wonder it took me so long. Reminds me just how much work it was. You did a great job 👍
Not only knowledge... It takes courage to restore this titan. Well done sir.
Great job. I used to work with BJ40s in the Sahara desert back in the 80s. They were 4cyl diesel pickups. Great and tough machines when your life may depend on them!
Skill. Knowledge. Patience. Incredible job man, not that you needed it but you have my respect!
espetaculo. parabens para toda pessoas envolvidas na restauracao. muito bom .
Wow! I worked for Toyota in the parts and service departments in 1970-1972. Always wanted a Land Cruiser like the ones coming in new. Young family so I couldn’t do it. Had plenty of Jeeps including military ones since. This one makes my heart glad!! Thanks 😊
Mad props!!! So lucky to be so talented and congratulations! 👍🏽🔥
Шикарная работа, руки растут из нужного места!!!!!!
Awesome...i had a chance to drive one of them for few months... the are crazy good ... and i had to pick up drivers from the valleys on top of the mountain,, ZERO problem for this beast... i wish i could have one now.... And MAN U did GREAT...
Una joya de ingeniería japonesa, apreciada por muchos, felicitaciones, acá en Guatemala tuve la oportunidad de ver un Pick up del mismo modelo lo reconstruyeron y quedó excelente!! listo para otros 40 años de uso, me gustan mucho este tipo de vehículos y aprecio la dedicación que tienen los que los restauran, hoy día difícilmente encontramos vehículos tan bien construidos y menos duraderos, hasta pronto Old School Garage.
Great! Well done guys. I love this car. Many thanks for showing.
Beautiful restoration. Your dad would be so proud.
Incredible. Very well done. The superlatives I could use would fill up an entire page. My dad had a BJ-40 when we lived in Panama and this brings back some great memories! Again, well done! 👍
Wow that is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful . Thanks for sharing .🚙
Simply PERFECT! Great job. I love these.
Awesome and inspiring, should have watched this first before restoring my ln46. I thought I did a good job already with it, but after watching this, I got schooled good.
You kind of work defines excellence! Awesome job, I’m sure it was an amazing experience also for you to restore it to its pristine original condition...
EXTREMELY SATISFYING. thank you.
Awesome!!! Its a pinnacle of perfection.
And he lives to fight another 45 years!! nice job with the restoration mate! I'm more of a Rover person when it comes to off-roading but in the Toyota side of the planet, these FJ40's are my absolute favorite!
more like rammed and scrapped in the first year! my friend restaured an old pickup truck like this, it took him 2years and a woman rammed him while putting make-up on while watching herself in the center mirroir. my friend just had the bare minimum insurance and only got 4000$ for the car.
@@Francois_Dupont did the woman survive the accident?
@@vforvendetta275 yeah, she didnt have any pain, but my friend had his head whiplash and he had to go to the doctor for 2years after.
@@Francois_Dupont your friend has a good temperament. I can't say she would have survived the accident if it were me
@@vforvendetta275 pretty sure it only hit him when he got the minimum from his insurance.
The attention and focus is inspiring… every move of service and assembly is a gesture of art… bravo 👏
Parabéns, ficou lindo. Nota 10.
Unbelievable! Loved watching this.
유튜브 최고의 영상입니다!! RESPECT!!!(This is the best video on TH-cam)
Man, this is so inspirational ! Your father would be proud ! Shout-out to mr meow :)

The 1st True Rebuild I had the pleasure to ever see.

Felicitaciones por el bello trabajo realizado. Congratulations for the beauty work.
👏👏👏 Maravilloso trabajo, felicitaciones!!!. 🇺🇾
love it!!
World class craftsmanship.
Supongo que una tarea tan gigantesca solo es posible cuando unos genios de la mecánica sienten el mismo amor por un coche. Gracias por dar una nueva vida un coche tan bello y mítico. Felicidades!!!
Para mí ver este video es como ver una importante parte de la historia, y creo que para muchos también.
You created a Masterpiece!!!!
Absolutely stunning 👍 great
Волшебство!
Большую работу проделал! Молодец!
Awesome video! Very inspirational, wonderful job.
Dude this is a incredible restoration the seams shame to get it dirty you're seriously talented man
Gosh! It looks so spanking new dude, as though it just came out of Toyota's production line... Hope to see more of your restoration project... Its A famili effort i should say...
Whouaaaaa !! Magnifique !! J'adore!! Bravo.
This is more than beautiful!
One of the best or the best restoration video ever seen. High quality, love, passion and an incredible attention to details. Great job, My father bought new a BJ40 in 1976. Same car but with a diesel engine. These diesel engine was 3.2-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Engine was made by Daihatsu a company nowdays owned by Toyota. 50 years later you can still find lots them running in Costa Rica, they still are tough and dependable.
Knew the FJ43 from owning qty 2 in Saudi Arabia so quite similar to the FJ40. Beautiful job restoring this. They are amazing tools for exploring trails and are as tough as a stock vehicle can be.
I never experienced a breakdown and traveled over 4 years with friends that had other early Toyota Land Cruisers (FJ40s, FJ43s and FJ45s).
Currently running a Tacoma lifted with a straight axle in front. Again, Toyota quality helps you stay out of trouble. Tough, dependable vehicles.
it´s ...a miracle....congratulation from Bogota Colombia
