Story
1984 was a year full of memorable events; the summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles, Space Shuttle Discovery was launched for its maiden flight, Michael Jackson’s Thriller album sold more than 37 million copies, Ronald Regan won the presidential race for his second term, Ghostbusters hits the big screen...sadly, it was also the year the last Land Cruiser J4x rolled out the assembly line in Nagoya Japan.
Being a 1984 and an FJ43, this will be one of the rarest Cruisers to hit American soil. It spend its life in rural areas of coffee country carrying produce down from the farms to the local market in Salento. This Cruiser was a true work-horse, but its original owner valued it as a family member, taking excellent care of it, since it was a very important income source for the family. All the numbers match, and the chassis was straight as an arrow, with no repairs or welds to it. When we came across it we had to buy it, it is very hard to come across '84 Cruisers, not to say a 1984 FJ43.
This build was commissioned by one of our customers who after having sold a 1983 FJ40, over ten years ago was seeking to build his dream Cruiser. We have worked with him throughout the process, sourcing the perfect donor, capturing all that he wants to incorporate to his Cruiser, designing it, and currently we are completing a full frame off nut and boltrestoration to his specifications. With our money back guarantee program, customers that commission a Cruiser to us are protected, if you don't like the end product you get a full refund of your money. He designed to add modern creature comforts to improve its drivability such as the Toyota H55F 5 speed gearbox, Vintage Air A/C Heater, Fivres hardtop, Premium JL Audio sound system, plus much more.
