The 350 cubic-inch small block Chevrolet V8 engine under the hood is a great improvement over the stock powerplant. Ours has fuel injection, an Edelbrock aluminum intake valve covers and open element air cleaner assembly, an MSD electronic ignition, performance spark plug wire set, an aluminum radiator and fan shroud, chrome coil, cast iron exhaust headers, chrome fan shroud and all sitting in a painted, clean, and detailed engine compartment.<\/p>\n

These Toyotas have a near indestructible reputation, and the Chevy small block unit shares that kind of status.
\nThe two-speed 4×4 transfer case, lifted suspension, and the 27570R18 Mickey Thompson Baja ATV black sidewall tires on aftermarket black wheels are great looking and handle all types of pavement an off-road conditions with the three-speed automatic transmission, 4-wheel disc brakes, and power steering.<\/p>\n

The front bumper not only has a bull bar but also a winch, roller fairlead, and hooks on it to pull people out of the mud or ditches, a black convertible top, electric lighted side steps for when you open the doors and need a step up, black rear bumper, tow hitch, and a fold-away spare tire receiver and tire to boot. This Toyota Land Cruiser is very clean, very solid, and in amazing condition. And a good representation of what it looked like when it was brand new as well as what it has been made into today.<\/p>\n
