1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Description:
An incredible one-of-a-kind head turner. Character, beauty, and an excruciating attention to detail over years worth of labor and love have finally brought this rare, LOW-miles ranch Cruiser back to its original glory. The aim for the Cruiser was original stock condition (single-stage paint, semi-gloss black on many accessories, frame, etc) so that it wouldn't be an overly glossy primadonna rig like so many restos out there. FJ40s weren't made to be show cars! A truly rare truck with original floor mat, original horns, original steering, original wheels, original roll bars, original seats, original Warn 8274 winch, original warn hubs, original, original, original........Only a few non-factory upgrades---front brakes, rear hitch receiver. All replacement parts are OEM wherever possible. 80% new nuts, bolts, and screws by a conservative estimate. Fully-documented restoration. Professionally done.

[isdntekvideo] Engine currently has just 180 miles on it. It's just getting broken in with superior compression (155-160 on all cylinders!) Everything has been gone through, re-torqued and tightened and re-sealed. No leaks. LOTS of power. Everything works. Get taken back in time 43 years with this beautiful tank of a rig.
