1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43
When it comes to vintage 4x4s, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ series is as good as it gets. What originally started as a Jeep clone during the Second World War, quickly took a life of its own and today the FJ series remains to be one of the most sought-after and collected off-road vehicle series in the world. Here above you see a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43, entirely restored by The FJ Company, with the result being better than the original Toyota version. The FJ43 comes with a slightly longer wheelbase than the more iconic FJ40, yet therefor has more space and is more practical. The car is gorgeous…

Ultra-rare Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45LV (station wagon model)
Repost from motor1.com Early Toyota Land Cruisers have become hugely collectable in recent years. Indeed, the best ones are worth considerably more than the equivalent Land Rover, its great rival. The FJ Company has tapped into the interest surrounding those early, FJ40-series Land Cruisers, turning out beautifully restored examples of the breed.
