1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43

This 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 is an outstanding example of the legendary 40-Series—widely celebrated for its rugged durability, off-road prowess, and timeless style. Finished in an eye-catching green with a beige soft top and brown interior, this vehicle was imported from Colombia following a comprehensive frame-off restoration in 2024. It now combines classic vintage aesthetics with modern mechanical upgrades to deliver the ultimate collector’s dream or adventure-ready rig.

✅ Full pre-purchase inspection (PPI) completed for transparency — no surprises.
As with any classic vehicle of this age, there are a few mechanical items that could use attention, most of which are common wear or age-related (e.g., a loose steering rag joint, some oil seepage, minor brake and driveline components). Nothing out of the ordinary for a 40+ year-old build, and I’m happy to share the inspection list with serious buyers.
