Cleaning up heritage
This client-owned FJ40, based in the Hamptons on Long Island, came in for a big overhaul. Many years of use and wear had accumulated and it was time to get things looking sharp again and make the icon proud. Mechanicals and driveline were overhauled, air conditioning installed, and much, much time spent on the body and correcting years of unforgiving corrosion, from front to back and from under to top. The car was repainted in the original Toyota Sky Blue.
Some of the highlights include:
Finished in a new coat of Toyota Sky Blue
Toyota 6-cylinder gasoline 2F engine
New radiator and cooling system
Four speed manual gearbox
Power steering
Front Warn lockers
Rear spare wheel on swing out carrier
New 16” steel tires
Chrome hub caps
BFGoodrich All/Terrain tires
Hardtop with full front doors and rear ambulance doors
Two front bucket seats
Two rear sideways mounted benches
Under dash air conditioning system
