General description : This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 is a rare find, stretching 6 inches longer in the wheelbase and over a foot longer overall than its FJ40 sibling. Its bold red exterior commands respect on the trail and street alike. The 15-inch wheels wrapped in meaty 31X10.5R15 tires provide the perfect stance for conquering any terrain. A sturdy soft top crowns this off-road titan, ready for open-air adventures or battening down against the elements.
Inside, this FJ43 blends utility with comfort. The black vinyl 70/30 bench seat offers durability for off-road excursions while maintaining a clean aesthetic. A Dakota Digital dash brings modern precision to the classic cabin, providing crystal-clear readouts of vital information. The floor-mounted shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission sits ready for action, while the AM/FM single CD player with Bluetooth and aux input keeps the tunes flowing. Vintage Air conditioning ensures comfort in any climate, a luxurious touch in this rugged machine.
Powering this Land Cruiser is Toyota's legendary 4.2L 2F inline-6 engine, completely remanufactured for reliability and performance. It breathes through a rebuilt single 2-barrel carburetor and a PerTronix Ignitor II electronic ignition system for improved efficiency and easier starts. Power flows through the 4-speed manual transmission to a thoroughly serviced 4x4 system, with both differentials cleaned and resealed. Steering is a breeze thanks to the power steering system, while power brakes with drums all around provide confident stopping power. A single exhaust with a factory-style muffler provides a satisfying rumble without being overpowering.

About Toyota

Toyota, a name that has become synonymous with reliability and sensibility in the world of automobiles. Let's take a leisurely stroll through the history of this remarkable Japanese marque.

Our story begins in the late 1930s when a modest textile machinery company, Toyota Industries, decided to dip its toes into the world of automobiles. It was a humble beginning, but little did they know that they were about to embark on a journey that would change the automotive landscape forever.

Fast forward to 1957, and we have the introduction of the Toyota Crown, a car that signaled Toyota's ambitions to compete on the global stage. It was sensible, well-built, and it set the tone for what Toyota would become known for - reliability.

But if we're talking about Toyota's foray into the world of high-performance sports cars, we can't ignore the Toyota 2000GT. Introduced in 1967, it was a thing of beauty. Sleek, low-slung, and powered by a silky-smooth inline-six engine. It was Japan's answer to the European sports car establishment, and it put Toyota on the map as a builder of more than just sensible family cars.

Then came the Toyota Celica in the 1970s, a sporty compact coupe that captured the hearts of many. It was affordable, fun to drive, and it helped establish Toyota's reputation for building cars that were both practical and enjoyable.

But if we're talking about Japanese sports cars that made a statement, the Toyota Supra deserves a special mention. First introduced in 1978, it became a legend in its own right. With its powerful inline-six engines and rear-wheel drive, it was a force to be reckoned with on both the street and the track. The Supra is a car that enthusiasts still drool over, even today.

And then, there's the Land Cruiser. It's not just an off-roader; it's an off-roader that can do anything a Land Rover used to do, only better. Introduced in the 1950s, it quickly gained a reputation for being virtually indestructible. Whether it's crossing deserts, jungles, or frozen tundras, the Land Cruiser can handle it with ease.

But perhaps Toyota's most significant achievement is its commitment to reliability and sensibility. They didn't just build cars; they built cars that people could depend on day in and day out. It's no surprise that you see Toyota's on the streets of every corner of the world, from Tokyo to Timbuktu.

So, there you have it, the history of Toyota, a company that started humbly but grew to become a global giant in the automotive industry. They've given us reliable, sensible cars, but they've also shown that they can build high-performance legends and off-roaders that conquer the toughest terrain. Toyota is a brand that proves you can have your sensible cake and eat it with a sprinkle of excitement on top.
