Car Tuning

Legacy Overland restores another Land Cruiser FJ40 to top condition

Have you noticed how much the priorities have shifted over the past several years? Not long ago, tuning was largely about body kits and wheels, and now, restomods have quickly ascended to the top of the fashion. While we’re at it, check out this Land Cruiser FJ40 by Legacy Overland; it’s pretty good.

The legendary FJ40 had been in production until 1986, so getting spare parts cfor it these days could be problematic. The Connecticut-based auto shop has spent thousands of hours restoring it to its former glory, replacing numerous parts as it went along. The engine received new cylinders, bearings and crankshaft, among other things. The four-speed manual gearbox and transfer case were also overhauled.

The car now benefits from Old Man Emu springs and shocks and rides 5 cm (2”) taller than usual. Further mods include LED-based lighting all around, better brakes, and a purpose-designed exhaust system. The wheels are perhaps the only part that remains stock.

Inside, beige leather covers the seats interspersed with black accents, and a RetroSound Vintage Audio set assumes the radio and music player functions. The dashboard is also new, which you likely won’t be able to tell because of how well it imitates the old one.
