1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
Courtesy of LBIlimited. The origins of the Toyota Land Cruiser date back to a time where the world was in complete chaos and turmoil as the Second World War ravaged through the European nations with what at the time seemed to be a war without end. Post WWII presented the Japanese with less than ideal economic conditions with a massive rise in inflation causing day to day life for citizens to become impoverished and yearning. Automotive companies were troubled with trying to obtain funds and forced to go under constant revision of production plans as a result of poor economic conditions and the increase in emission and safety regulations. Then…

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. Including this ultra-rare FJ45LV station wagon model. It’s one of the rarest FJ40 models produced, and only around 1000 FJ45LVs were imported to the United States – it’s likely only a small handful survive. A Montana-based enthusiast bought this particular example many years ago with the intention or restoring it. He spent a decade acquiring every original part…

1979 FJ55 Toyota Land Cruiser (The Iron Pig)
The Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser was the first station wagon 4×4 built by the Japanese marque offering seating for up to 7 adults depending on internal configuration. The original prototype for Toyota’s first 4×4 came thanks to a Willys Jeep that the Japanese found in the Philippines during WWII. The vehicle was sent back to Japan, shortly thereafter the Japanese military commissioned Toyota to build an almost identical vehicle. In the post-WWII years this 4×4 was evolved into the FJ40 series on up to the FJ55 series, with the latter staying in production from 1967 till 1980 – when it was replaced with the less divisively designed J60 series. Toyota fitted its…
