Growing up our family have had a few 40s, I learned to drive in one. Awesome rigs, just the characteristic sound makes me smile, very clean unit nice restoration.
Nice '78. Enjoyed the video. I also have a '78, same olive color. Bought it new in '78. 62,000 original miles. Got a cosmetic face lift and some upgraded mechanicals about 10 years ago. It gets to sit in the garage while the 2 4Runners and the FJ Cruiser sit under the carports.
I've got a '78 model as well in blue, thing sounds like a jet engine but that's half the fun. Rebuilt the carburetor not too long ago. thing drives perfectly, but I need to do some work on the outside.
Q fascinante paseo a bordo de este gran ejemplar de Land Cruiser! Un poco bruscos los cambios de marcha de 2da a 1ra a mi modo de ver, con el carro en movimiento.... a mi humilde criterio...
Did you add it and if so what did you put in. I just bought a 78 and it’s fine once I get going but power steering and disk brakes are my one and first up to change
Conduces mal y bruscamente este hermoso Toyota. Pronto echaras a perder la meticulosa restauracion. No retiras el pie del clutch cuando ya hiciste el cambio..... Ruedas en punto muerto par después frenar..... El Toyota aguanta todo menos un mal dueño..... Envidio tu Toyota pero tu Toyota te debe odiar.
Plus he was jamming it into first at too high of speed. I could hear the stress on those synchros! First gear in an FJ40 is seldom used for street driving. It is a granny gear, and second gear is fine for going from a stop. Unless I am mistaken and the diff gear is not 4:10 on a 78, and it went higher to 3:73.
Don't know who taught you how to drive a 4 speed, but you should never throw it out of gear and coast when coming to a turn or stop. When you throw it out of gear and coast, you have lost control of the vehicle. You should simply gear down as necessary, but keep it in gear.
That 2nd gear whine brings back so many memories. Love the 40’ series I gonna buy one soon enough

Feel the same 👌👍
Man that 4 speed sounds smooth.
Heck yeah

Thanks for posting cab view. Brought back fond memories, 1974 blue FJ40.
I'm in love with the 45 pickup, but also this is incredibly beautiful!
Cool ! Nice driving video,thanks for sharing this.
That car looks sick! I wanna have one when I grow up
Was sure thinking the streets looked familiar then looked at the description. My wife and I both work at UMMC. Nice video and FJ.
FJ40 has a great hood profile from the driver’s view. Makes a “go anywhere” statement.
Nice drive , thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for the ride bubba. Very nice
👍👍what an awesome ride thanks!
Thanks for sharing the experience
thank you very much for this video! i have a 77 and i was trying to figure out if the “screech” around 2k rpm was normal
Still rides pretty well. Great work on your restoration. I have a 41.
What a great car man
Been trying to learn manual on a 4 speed 75 fj40 without power steering. Lots of work but worth it all :)
Joey Campbell i learned to drive in a 1981 fj40 with no power steering or power brakes. After that, you can drive anything hahaha
So sweet, once I get done rebuilding this 80 series and 4runner Im finally going to buy a FJ40
Tremenda máquina, indestructible, calidad induperable
I'm jealous, I want one
سواقته جميله وصوت محركه ينعش الروح 😂❤️🇸🇦
Nice truck. 👍
Aqui no Brasil se chamava Toyota Bandeirante e foi produzido entre 1958 e 2001. Tenho um igual a esse ano 1999 a diesel.
Neat video
2:53
bruh left turn only dude lmao awesome car ^^
Great video do more driving videos perhaps off road . Thanks
Sounds as good as mine... when I get mine back in November - removing the ugly yellow color and back to sky blue
Awesome. What are they like for space inside?
@@SeaJayBelfast A little bit cramped not really for tall people but still really cool
@@lazlosfj40garage58 Thanks! Unbelievably cool.
Sounds just like our 1984 fj60 we have .
2F engine. The same motor
Hermoso carro sus autos preferidos de mi papá..
My dream car.
I've got a '78 model as well in blue, thing sounds like a jet engine but that's half the fun. Rebuilt the carburetor not too long ago. thing drives perfectly, but I need to do some work on the outside.
Love this car....
Nice ride. I have a few of my own that I’m restoring. I imagine you installed power steering since you can steer with one hand . Congrats
Do you sell?
@@bigPianist99 yes I do. I have one 1981 fj43 soft top frame off totally restored for sale
@@Spyder2002 Where can I find more information?
lovely truck.....pity the steering wheel is on the wrong side!!
This makes me want my FJ back so bad.
Eso si es divertido de manejar, que aforunado que sos de tener ese fj45 tan espectacular
Nice 👍
Hello mate, do you have powersteering?

Pata brava
F J40のスムーズな走りは最高です❗️スタートからシフトアップが滑らかで素晴らしい❣️
Whats the hole near your foot?
ماشاء الله حلوه السيارة
What engine does the have? A 2F? It sounds smooooothh
What was the top speed? I have a ‘77 FJ45
Is that a hole in the driver's foot well?
that Land Cruiser looks so 80s Narcos.
Where do you live? It's beautiful!
Speed 4 ?????
1:01 Why neutral?
Well... It can be used for reducing your speed while you're exiting the highway.
Nice. Did these come in an auto?
no
@@golfguy25 do you restore these as a business?
It's an agricultural tractor. No they don't have an auto box.
how fast did u goes?
Juliet Zulu around 70mph
que belleza
Nice 40. Power steering, right?
Breck Light yes
Did you add it and if so what did you put in. I just bought a 78 and it’s fine once I get going but power steering and disk brakes are my one and first up to change
I got one FJ40 but I change my engine to 80 series 4.2 diesel turbo.
God, I got to get my FJ40 on the road. It's burning a hole in my pocket though, someone ran it with no oil.
get new engine
Swap engine with diesel
Whats the engine?
2F
I own an FJ40

That's wrong drive!! He change the grear on N when he turn or in low speed!!!!

Can this thing get up to 70mph? lol
My 1981 FJ43 doesn’t like speed over 55 MPH. 😂

MAL MANEJO, MUY REGULAR EL CONDUCTOR
stop riding the clutch pedal.
Don’t tell someone how to drive . We all drive different.
@@rockinginafreeworld3256 riding the clutch will wear out the clutch pad... That's like driving with the handbrake slightly on...
@@rockinginafreeworld3256 He's trying to help, libtard!
Nice 👍
