Toyota FJ40 Gorilla Safari
Gear Patrol Endorses Buying A Toyota... This One
Aching for a custom vintage SUV? Maybe you’re even lucky enough to own one, but want to breathe some new life into it without committing to a complete overhaul or frame-up restoration. The 10 year strong team at Vintage Offroad will get you into one of their specialties, vintage Toyota FJ40′s (not the newfangled ones) with complete bumper-to-bumper warranties. Their beastly variation of the classic FJ40, the Gorilla Safari FJ40, is definitely a favorite. The build to order FJ40 can be customized with practically anything: stock inline-6, gas V8 or 4-cylinder eco-friendly biodiesel engine (25 to 30+ mpg), automatic or manual transmission, exterior accessories, interior, and paint color. We’ll take the one pictured above as-is thank you very much.
Author’s Note: Want more vintage Toyota goodness? In our scouring, we came across Toyota’s Land Cruiser heritage site (visit here), it’s packed with tons of old school videos, pictures, and stories of the classic 4×4, before it became a portly luxo-barge. It’s not new, but it will occupy a few minutes for you heritage nuts (thumbs pointed at self).
