Few “iconic” vehicles hit the feels as hard as the Toyota FJ43 Land Cruiser. When you’re lucky enough to see one in the wild, the adventure in your head begins immediately. The stories these Badass old, old trucks might tell would keep us entertained for hours. Sadly, many of the epic adventures taken in a Classic Land Cruiser have died with the rusted out and forgotten old chassis behind somebody’s barn. On the brighter side, there is hope, though.
The crew over at The FJ Company have taken it upon themselves to restore these Overland Legends to the glory they deserve. The FJ Company is intensely focused on delivering authentic, high-end custom Land Cruisers – creating modern versions of this classic ride for today’s driver. Their latest offering comes with a little help from one of their most stylish collaborators.
The Todd Synder Edition FJ43 is the ultimate summer rig, inspired by Todd’s very own build. For this joint effort, The FJ Company does their thing with an original steel body restored to perfection, a new Toyota 1GR-FE, 4.0L V6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission, and upgraded suspension, brakes, and power steering. It’s available in 4 colors; Slate Grey, Camel Tan, Oxblood, and Military Olive. Other features include custom Red Wing leather interior and seating, LED headlights and fog lights, plus a premium Stereo with an integrated subwoofer. Functional elements like a digital gauge cluster, in-dash air conditioning, and a backup camera are all upgraded into the special edition as well.
Every custom-built Todd Snyder Edition G43 starts with your personal taste. Use the online builder at FJ.co to select the options for your perfect classic 4×4 and get ready to start writing your own adventure stories every time you’re behind the wheel.
