Ex-Robbie Wolfe 5.7L-Powered 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 4-Speed

This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 was imported to the US under previous ownership and was previously owned by Robbie Wolfe, a cast member of the show American Pickers. It has been retrofitted with a Chevrolet-sourced 5.7-liter V8, which sends power through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. A refurbishment performed between 2024 and 2026 included a repaint in beige and a re-trim of the seats and door panels in orange vinyl. Further details include an Edelbrock carburetor, 17″ Black Rhino wheels, Old Man Emu shocks, manually locking front hubs, a white MPR removable hardtop, a pintle hitch, KC auxiliary lights, and a Pioneer head unit. This FJ43 is now offered in Nevada by the selling dealer with a clean Texas title.

The two-door FJ43 is the medium-wheelbase version of the FJ40. This example was repainted in beige during the refurbishment. Features include a white MPR removable hardtop along with a pintle hitch, rear mud flaps, KC driving lights, rear ambulance-style doors, a steel front bumper, fender-mounted turn signals, and a rear-mounted spare tire.

The 17″ Black Rhino wheels are mounted with 285/70 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO3 tires, which installed in October 2026. The truck is equipped with Aisin manually locking front hubs and Old Man Emu shocks.

The split front seats and inward-facing rear seats have been reupholstered in orange vinyl. Further interior details include matching door panels, a Pioneer head unit, and ceiling-mounted speakers.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-km/h speedometer as well as gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 2,800 miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The Chevrolet-sourced 5.7-liter V8 was installed in March 2026. It is equipped with an Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold.

Power is routed through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
