Introduction

The FJ40 Land Cruiser is arguably the ultimate 20th century 4x4 by so many standards.
The FJ40 was produced by Toyota between '60 to '84 and all the way up to '01 in Brazil. It was Toyota's best-selling model in the states between 1961-1964 and by 1965 global production had reached 50,000 units.
The truck was available in hardtop, soft top, station wagon or pickup form. With the 'F' standing for the Type F engine and the J standing for Jeep. The '40' refers to the displacement of the inline-six engine, in '65 Toyota's technical director, Hanji Umehara decided to call the truck the 'Land Cruiser'. The Land Cruiser quickly solidified the brand's reputation for building strong, reliable vehicles.
The FJ40 was a big step up from the predecessor, the 'J20' with its new low range sub gear that improved acceleration and performance on rough roads. A movement of the 2-speed transfer and 3-speed shift lever made room for a third person to sit up front, along with folding jump seats fitted in the rear for more cargo/passenger room.
This example has been imported to the UK from Ireland in 2014, and was given extensive restoration - it's simply gorgeous and ready for its next off-road adventure.
