Quick, ask someone close to you to name a Japanese off roader. Chances are, they will say Toyota Land Cruiser. The most popular off-roader to come from the Land Of The Rising Sun, the Land Cruiser’s legendary go-anywhere capability remains tough to reach, let alone beat. First introduced in 1951, Toyota themselves didn’t know what a legend they would go on to create. In fact, it’s not uncommon to see Toyota producing more than one generation of Land Cruiser concurrently; you can still buy a 70-Series in 2022, alongside the latest J300 Series in some countries. This 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod is of the FJ40 series, which ran from 1960 until 2001. It’s got a few enhancements and looks ready to hit the trails. Another great thing is that Toyota still produces parts for the FJ40 that are available at most authorized parts dealers, which is fantastic.
Sporting a black paintjob and rolling on new GT Radial Savero Mud Terrain tires wrapped around blacked out steel rims, this 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod is definitely not for boulevard cruising, but back country bruising. You’ve got all the key things for off-roading, including a sturdy winch at the front, high lift jack, and large tow hitch at the rear. It’s also got a few modern conveniences such as new LED head lamps, exterior air vents and new steel parts. Waterproof sealing has been applied as well, to protect the undercarriage. The interior is spartan and purposeful, rather than luxurious. That said, you do get new diamond-stitched seating, and the gauge cluster is typical old-school Land Cruiser. The driver and front passenger sit on individual seats, while you may be able to squeeze four more on the inward-facing bench seats directly behind. The oil gauge is reportedly new. A bevy of switches in the center console complete the look, not like you really need much else when enjoying the great outdoors.
Some restomods include engine upgrades, but this 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod still runs courtesy of its bulletproof 2F in-line six cylinder engine, that displaces a significant 4.2L and was rated for 133hp and 210lb-ft when new. Drive is sent to the wheels via a manual transmission and transfer case. New wiring and a recent oil change have been reported.
