If Toyota could reproduce this vintage FJ40 exactly same as original... even a slight touch with current technology would be a smash hit everywhere in the world!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing. Its a shame that simple vehicles like this aren't made anymore, I don't think there would be enough people to appreciate it. This beauty is going to last another hundred years. I'd love to get my hands on one some day.
I love FJ40's. My son and I are restoring a 1977 Toyota FJ40 and we love working on it and making videos as we go!!
Simply stunning. You have made Mr Tojo very proud, seriously tho, amazing job, so good to see. 😁😁😁
It already was perfect!
Very driveable
Real survivor!
Great video showing the depth of your rebuild. Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing!
Man that is gorgeous! The owner and people who restored it should be very proud.
I purchased an FJ40 brand new in 1977 for $5600 in upstate New York. It was my first new vehicle and i remember it like it was yesterday. Several of my friends had them along with Land Rovers. It was a fantastic truck for off-roading. Nice job on the restore. Wish i had kept mine.
Great find, fantastic restoration.
One of the best 4x4 ever made great restoration job. I miss my old bj40
My first LandCruiser was a 77 FJ40 also. I loved it. Bought it used for $1700 cash in Belleville, Illinois in the mid 80s and drove it immediately from there to the Navajo Reservation where we used it as it came in street tires no less the entire four years we were out there in four corners area working for the IHS. Great rigs! We liked it so much when we got rid of it we missed it and I did find it after trading it for a Toyota truck but the guy wouldn't part with it so I bought a 76 very close to the same and rebuilt it. Later we owned a 88 FJ62 also. Sluggish and slow, mostly bad for the lower back in the short wheelbase if you do a lot of long highway drives but otherwise the best most reliable day in and day out off road commuter around! We drove all ours rough for years over rough terrain in four corners, later in Alaska and Washington State and we weren't replacing a lot of parts or having the issues other model drivers were having. Just sayin' they are tough as nails these things!
What a restoration! Masterfully done. I’m impressed. Would cost more than I’ve ever made to do this work, but there is not doubt as to the dedication level of this work!👍🏻👍🏻
Тот момент, когда не какие супер кары не нужны , а хочешь именно эту. Простая ,надёжная и красивая классика. Спасибо вам за вашу работу.
Gorgeous
beautifully done
So flawless it looks like a plastic toy! What a restore! Seen these fetch 6 figures at high auctions for this type of restore. Beautiful! these things are cooool!
Love it it’s the best
Such a nice car, classic design. Good to know it'll serve few decades more.
Amazing job!
Best 4wheel drive ever....amazing job...
Simply beautiful! Awesome job!
Absolutely gorgeous. Great job. Fun to watch the process.
It may not have looked that good off the build line, gorgeous !! I love it, but, it's a Back Surgeon's dream !!
Honestly I would left it as is!! Simply beautiful!! Looks great even after :)
Toyota couldn't have done it better... really love it 💯

Big 😁 to the masterteam from Berlin Germany 👍👍👍
Добрый день. Работа выполнена на ОТЛИЧНО. Респект...
F A N T A S T I C ❤️ 😊 !
Had an 84 2F Shorty, was my first 4x4, loved it to bits and eventually parted with it in exchange for an 80 Series - Would I go back?... na, I wouldn't as they were bloody hard on the back and needed a ton of $$$ thrown at them to sort the suspension out.
In Australia we flipped the front springs and fitted longer 60 Series units in the rear which slightly stretched the wheel base - this, and a good set of shocks made them more capable and more importantly comfortable!
Giday mate, I know you commented on this ages ago but do you know if this works for a fj45 ute? I'm currently restoring one and having a nice ride / more flex would be great!
I have a 68 fj40... the ride was stiff as can be... I removed one of the leaf springs from each pack and it made a huge difference in the ride
Have no words to describe my feelings for this Beauty.... Its amazing and a great work has done for restoration with stunning video record with pictures. I wish for the same Oh God. give me One Please.
Simple but detail 👍
Awesome job. What did the whole job cost? it must have been a fair amount!
Well done!
OMG was that a survivor you guys restored, tell me it isn't so?
better than the new one :D
My 1978 will never be that nice

Hello, what is the small fan at 2:23 for?
Hi, i believe it's the car alarm, instead of having a speakers when it rotates it emits the sound.
สุดยอดสวย รถหน้าหนู
2 different sets of wheels ?
I liked it better as it was before
I like & perpect
Awesome!! Can I send you mine to restore too?
How much do you think it cost? My son just bought one..
No stripes :(
Stunning FJ but the music and editing are really dated and would be more appropriate for someone showing their EDC collection.
How much the Insurance company will charge for this car?
Wow Nice yellow, what the colour code?
I'M LOOKING FOR A DASHBOARD FOR BJ42
DO YOU HAVE ONE TO SELL ?
OR GIVE ME THE NAME OF A STORE THAT HAS NEW OR USED. THANK YOU
Please come and restore our toyota land cruisher 1980
Let me guess it's now only $3M, such a deal
Price?
😭💔👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Boh... maybe I am wrong, but isn't it useless to restore a car that doesn't need to be restored?
Jerry Seinfeld owns this thing...iirc...
Here’s a FJ40 restoration animation: th-cam.com/video/UVF4Hex_AsQ/w-d-xo.html
Jesus Christ almighty!!!!!
Missing !...
That thing didnt need restoring :(
Everything looks amazing but the rims are ugly as hell with the original metallic gray would look really good
Should have left it original! If it aint broke , don't fix it!
Jnn
Original paint and pin stripe was better.
Needs a small block V8 nothing bigger than 4.7ltrs but cause it would be over kill.
Ya like that will increase the value..............NOT
yo odio ese carro
Keisy Hernandez porque?
Niña y usted por qué odia ese carro
horrible music
