Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55, nicknamed 'The Iron Pig,' features a replacement 4.2L inline-six, four-speed manual transmission, and a dual-range transfer case. It has been modified with an Old Man Emu suspension lift, custom steel bumpers, and fiberglass fenders, but shows paint imperfections and known mechanical leaks requiring attention.
The vehicle was featured in a music video and online forum, and comes with service records. While mechanically functional and modified for off-road use, noted issues include paint bubbles, cracked bedliner on the roof, a leaking power steering pump, and a rear main seal oil leak, impacting its overall condition.
Condition

The vehicle has undergone significant modifications and repairs, including extensive lower quarter-panel work, replacement rocker panels, and fiberglass fenders. There are noted paint issues like bubbles on the tailgate and roof, and the roof has unevenly applied and cracked bedliner material. The power steering pump leaks, and there is an oil leak from the rear main seal. The odometer reading is not accurate. These factors indicate noticeable wear and the need for moderate reconditioning.
