Is boxy your thing? Is cool your thing? Is black your thing?
Then you likely dig the Mercedes G-Class.
But anyone can snag one of those.
This murdered-out custom ‘79 Toyota FJ40, on the other hand? It’s a true diamond in the rough-and-tumble.
Up for grabs at Hemmings, Japan’s take on the early Jeeps and Land Rovers has stood the test of time. And for this edition, it’s been given a pretty badass urban makeover. What you’ll get: a short-wheelbase chassis fitted with a supremely revamped hardtop. And under the hood, the an inline six-cylinder 3.9-liter engine. That’ll take you as high or low as you’d ever want to go, especially when it’s coupled with a set of large Radial tires, a spankin’ new Warn 1,000-pound winch up front, a dual-range transfer case and locking hubs.
On the inside: more black, naturally, with plenty of heat to keep everyone cozy.
In our opinion, it’s a steal at $39,500. Because when in doubt, wear black.
