One of the most popular off-road vehicles ever devised, the Toyota Land Cruiser was largely developed during Japan’s occupation of the Philippines and during the Korean War. Based largely on the Bantam and Willys General Purpose vehicles, known as GPs or Jeeps, the Land Cruiser grew into its own. The third generation was introduced for 1960 and marketed throughout the world as the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40, with subsequent models following in quick succession.
The durability, robustness, availability and capability made it an instant hit with many people of many walks of life from farmers, merchants and ranchers to off-road enthusiasts, adventure seekers and government workers doing their jobs in the most remote corners of the world. This FJ-40 is finished in yellow with a white-painted hardtop and is extensively customized. Powered by a 350 CI V-8 engine with an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and valve covers, K&N air filter and a 4-barrel carburetor among other modifications, a 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels, unless the 4-wheel drive is engaged.
Power steering and power brakes make it easier to maneuver on or off road. Inside, Recaro bucket seats and a center console make for a more comfortable ride, and Rhino-lined flooring ensures easy cleaning and maintenance. A custom steering wheel adds to the look, as does a custom stereo system. F&R LED fog lamps help light the way while rear cargo doors make it easy to load and unload people or gear. Equipped with fold-down seats in the rear, other elements of originality are sprinkled throughout, but enough modern touches have been bestowed upon this FJ-40 that it’s easy to see why the FJ was so popular; not only was it a fabulous workhorse, but it was easily modified and modernized.
