This 1981 Toyota FJ43 Land Cruiser 4x4 is a long-wheelbase model
that was not offered in the U.S. market. Restored in Colombia, this
FJ43 was imported to the U.S. for resale in late 2023. The body-off
restoration is said to have touched every part of the vehicle,
which gives a near-new appearance in the provided photos. The
vehicle was also equipped with an aftermarket heat and A/C system.
Mechanically, the FJ43 was essentially the same vehicle as the
better-known FJ40, but with a longer wheelbase (95.6 versus 90
inches) and an additional 15 inches of length (166 versus 151
inches). The added length expanded the rear seating and cargo area.
The robust 2F six-cylinder engine, body-on-frame construction, leaf
spring suspension, and part-time four-wheel drive with dual-range
transfer case were the same as in the FJ40. This vehicle's odometer
was reset after the restoration, so the mileage shown is believed
to be from after its completion. The jaunty FJ43 comes with a soft
top, as seen in the photos, and is presented with no needs.
