Frame-Off Restored 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup with 2F Inline-Six
About this vehicle
One of the later FJ45 pickups produced, this 1985 long-wheelbase truck went through a full frame-off restoration roughly three years ago. The FJ45 was Toyota's extended-wheelbase truck derivative of the 40-series — prized for stripped-down mechanical honesty and genuine off-road capability. White over a fresh black vinyl interior, it's powered by a rebuilt 4.2-liter 2F inline-six mated to an upgraded OEM 5-speed manual and a dual-range transfer case. The odometer reads in kilometers, has been reset, and total mileage is unknown. Currently offered by a selling dealer out of Miami, FL.
White paint pairs with black windshield trim, black side mirrors, and black surrounds on the headlights and grille. Halo-style aftermarket headlights replace the original units. A black front bumper carries a pair of red tow hooks, and black 15" steel wheels wear new BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires all around, with a spare stowed beneath the bed. Gallery images cover the details closely.
The cabin's restoration is straightforward. New black vinyl covers the low-back front seats and door panels, body-color trim surrounds run throughout the cab, and a black three-spoke steering wheel sits up front. There's a glovebox on the passenger side, an upgraded aftermarket sound system, and the air conditioning is reported functional.
As part of the frame-off work three years ago, the 4.2-liter 2F inline-six was overhauled and has since received fresh oil and filters. Power steering is fitted, as are power-assisted brakes with front discs. Out back, replacement leaf springs pair with Bilstein shocks, and an aluminum radiator handles cooling duties. The 5-speed manual feeding a dual-range transfer case is the drivetrain combination the FJ45 was engineered around.
Sale includes a clean, clear title, spare parts, and the restoration photographs from the build.
