JL63
Stockholm
Basic information and History
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ/BJ40 has become a iconic model, thanks to its reputation for reliability and superior off-road capabilities. Its iconic design and legendary durability have made it a sought-after classic vehicle among enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
This example is a BJ40, which means that there is a reliable 3.0L diesel engine under the hood that generates about 80 torquey horsepower.
The car has recently been imported from Finland and was brought into Sweden on 2023-02-14.
Equipment and Options
The car has been recently renovated, has a removable hardtop, sport seats, front bar with associated winch and recently updated disc brakes.
Condition
In addition to the car giving a great impression, the seller has noted rust on the car on the right side of the rear door, there is a weld that needs to be looked over if you want it in mint condition. It is otherwise stainless.
The glass has some damage: There is a small stone chip in the windshield which is most certainly original.
The paintwork is in good condition.
The paint has been renovated in connection with the renovation in 2020 and 2021 and in connection with that it was repainted.
Chrome and moldings are described as "Mouldings around side windows are not in mint condition but the seller has not been able to find new ones.
The seller says that with a little more time and persistence, it can probably be obtained as this model has cult status and there are many forums and spare parts dealers.
In addition to this, the car has original rims.
There is no damage to the rims or tires noted and the tires measure approx. 8 mm all around.
Internal condition:
Steering wheel and controls are worn: Some of the pull controls are missing their original knobs.
Dashboard and panel the seller describes as Some of the shock-absorbing protections for the knees in the dashboard sit a little too low, otherwise it is fine.
Mechanically and electrically, the car works as it should.
Renovations have been carried out on the inside: Seats and seatbelts are updated to a more modern standard.
The car was inspected on July 5, 2023 without any complaints.
The seats that came with the car when the seller bought the car were a stool and therefore a pair of more modern sports seats were purchased which prevent you from falling out on steep slopes and turns, the seller also took the opportunity to upgrade to seat belts.
A BJ40 can be driven in all possible terrains and in the case of water passages, water that comes in must also come out, but in normal driving it stays tight.
Odometer reading is 44.654 km which cannot be guaranteed by the seller.
Service history
The seller describes the engine and gearbox as being in very good condition, it starts nicely and all gears engage without problems.
Last service was carried out in 2021 by those who carried out the renovation of the car. According to information, it had been standing still before the seller bought it. The seller believes that the spreaders may need to be overhauled at the next service.
There is no previous service record noted.
Backs on brake pads: Brand new.
Drums are described as "The handbrake which is a gimbal model has a drum and pads, the pads are brand new."
The car is a "frame off renovation" and parts such as screens are brand new. It has received new disc brakes all around so that it is possible to stop this non-speed monster, the old brakes were, despite the modest speeds at which this car must be driven, terribly bad. In connection with the brake system being converted, all wheel bearings were changed and the drive hubs were repacked and filled with new special grease.
Summary
An icon that has achieved cult status in fantastic condition but can be developed to perfect condition with small funds. The winch makes it unstoppable. A car that contributes to happy faces wherever you go, where you always get positive comments wherever you go. Simply a ray of sunshine!
