1968 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

This meticulously customized 1968 Toyota FJ40 blends classic off-road capability with modern engineering and luxury, delivering an unmatched driving experience. Every component has been carefully selected and purpose-built to elevate both performance and aesthetics. It has recently been upgraded with a custom gear roof rack by Impulse Off-Road and treated to a professional ceramic coating application by Luxe Automotive. New photos will be posted shortly.

Discover the pinnacle of custom engineering — the ultimate FJ40 off-road machine. This is not simply a restored Land Cruiser; it is an extensively engineered build designed to dominate challenging terrain while presenting show-quality refinement. Created for the enthusiast who demands both capability and exclusivity, this FJ40 offers uncompromising off-road performance wrapped in a package worthy of display.

Engineered for power and sophistication, the foundation of this build is an LS3 crate motor, meticulously prepared to deliver formidable horsepower and long-term durability. A handmade, ceramic-coated, 2-into-1 exhaust system paired with a Flowmaster muffler produces both performance gains and a commanding exhaust note. A modern engine management system ensures precise tuning and reliability, while a GM 4L60E automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive shifting. An integrated A/C system with a serpentine belt setup enhances comfort and functionality in any driving condition.

Unrelenting capability defines the drivetrain. An Atlas transfer case provides robust off-road performance and dependable power distribution. Dana 60 axles, rebuilt with premium Yukon gears, are complemented by an air locker to confidently navigate extreme terrain. Extended axles — 9 inches in the front and 12 inches in the rear — improve stability and ground clearance. Bump stops and a rear anti-sway bar with disconnect capability further enhance off-road articulation and control.

Utility and performance work in harmony throughout the build. A Smitty 10,000-pound winch with remote capability ensures recovery readiness. A comprehensive disc braking system with a high-performance booster provides strong, consistent stopping power. An aluminum fuel cell mounted behind the rear seat offers secure and reliable fuel storage. Hydraulic steering with a Howe steering box, a Flaming River steering column, and a custom steering wheel deliver precise, confident handling.

The exterior reflects equal attention to detail. A removable one-piece hardtop provides flexibility between open-air driving and enclosed protection. Integrated rock rails and a custom powder-coated roll cage enhance both safety and durability. Lighting upgrades include HID color-changing headlights, underbody lighting, LED taillights, and dedicated off-road driving lights to ensure visibility in all environments. The vehicle sits on new Fuel wheels wrapped in massive 40-inch Toyo tires, providing exceptional traction and an aggressive stance.

Inside, luxury meets functionality. A Rockford Fosgate stereo system with three 10-inch subwoofers creates a premium audio experience. Front and rear cameras enhance safety and maneuverability. The interior has been fully refreshed with new seats and carpeting for a clean, modern feel. For added distinction, handmade and carved wooden doors with hand-painted graphics can be installed for a unique, award-winning show appearance.

This custom 1968 Toyota FJ40 is far more than a classic SUV — it is a comprehensive, no-compromise build that represents craftsmanship, innovation, and performance. Whether navigating city streets or conquering remote trails, it stands as a statement piece for those who expect extraordinary capability and distinctive style in every journey.
