It rides on 16-inch steel wheels, shod in BF Goodridge Route Control tyres. A great deal of attention to detail is evidenced in the components that have been fitted to this example including the genuine overhead storage basket only seen on very few examples and rare , Toyota FJ40-specific spotlights. The interior benefits from the fitment of a modern Pioneer stereo head unit and fully engineered rear seat installed in accordance with current safety regulations including Inertia reel seatbelts which permits the vehicle to be registered to carry five people. The vehicle is equipped with a WARN winch, large genuine Toyota branded mudflaps and a hinged rear spare wheel carrier.
