GarageKeptMotors.) Fishing... hunting... camping, wherever you're
headed... go with the Tough Toyota.... Toyota FJ40 period magazine
advertisement Back in the day, that magazine advertising copy was
right on the money. The rugged, safari-tested reliability of the
Toyota FJ40 made it the perfect choice for people headed out to the
wilds for outdoor recreation. In most respects, that's still true
nowadays as the continuing popularity of the FJ40 demonstrates. But
there's one nagging issue: Today, pursuits like back-country
skiing, upriver kayaking, and ultimate rock-climbing have been
added to the growing list of adventure sports. The related vehicle
issue is cargo space. Today's outdoorsperson-and his or her
companion-needs to bring a good deal more equipment along for the
trip. Multiple rucksacks, coiled rope and climbing gear, tents,
stoves, kayaks and canoes, and all sorts of related equipment-to
say nothing of food and bedding-can often exceed the FJ40's
cargo-carrying capacity. What was once ample in the seventies no
longer suffices almost fifty years later. So, either get a bigger
SUV... or change the game for the FJ. Offered here is a true
game-changer of an FJ40 providing nearly triple the cargo capacity
by way of a matching trailer, without sacrificing its rough-country
capability. Think of it as an FJ-Plus1. The pair makes for an
adventurer's dream. The lead vehicle is a fully restored 1975 FJ.
Its power comes by way of a 4.2-liter, 6- cylinder engine putting
out 135 horsepower, linked to a floor-mounted 4-speed synchromesh
transmission. Like all FJs, the vehicle was built with reinforced
steel-- from the solid steel front bumper to the chassis-riveted
and welded to take punishment. Power front disc brakes provided
controlled deceleration important for reliable trail-driving. The
exterior of the FJ has been professionally repainted in a bright,
Pacific Ocean-blue. Or North Carolina mountain blue. Or Lake
Michigan winter blue. (Your choice.) The paint is in excellent
condition, uniformly applied and glossy across the entire vehicle.
The front bumper includes an oversized brush-guard, a power winch,
and twin towing hooks with pintles; in the rear the factory
swing-away spare-tire carrier is in place. Light-gray steel wheels
wear BFG Mud-Terrain tires (with a matching spare). All body
emblems are in place. Cabin glass and lighting lenses are clear and
free of cracks. The cabin roof is painted white to reflect the
sun's rays. On-roof added equipment includes auxiliary lighting, a
surfboard and carrier, a custom, enlarged roof rack with added
gear, shovels, netted stowage compartment, spare fuel cans and
more, all included. The interior of the FJ matches the color and
condition of the exterior. Black rubber floor matting and vinyl
upholstery are in place, as is the factory roll cage system. The
simplicity of the dash is maintained, and the original steering
wheel is in place. The floor-mounted 4-speed shifter also retains
its factory knob. Door trim and center-facing, fold-up rear seats
are free of damage. All factory data plates are in place and
properly mounted. Undercarriage has been cleaned and rustproofed
for durability. The accompanying single-axle cargo trailer features
matching blue paint, wood side and rear rails, raised, covered top
with roll-up side shades, fire extinguisher, and additional
5-gallon fuel can. Also included in the sale is a binder with
detailed photos of the re
