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.
Now here’s a golden oldie of the off-road community. This red and white 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 is a long wheelbase pickup variant that’s perfect for someone who’s a fan of classic pickups, Japanese vehicles and off-roading. It’s now available in Miami with 124,000 miles on the clock, but you wouldn’t guess based on appearance alone. Yup, this pristine machine comes with a 3.6-liter straight six diesel engine under the hood, a manual gearbox, and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Thanks to its body on frame construction, it’s pretty versatile in the rough stuff too. Indeed, this vehicle’s clean and fresh appearance may lead you to believe otherwise, but this is one beauty that can turn into a beast if needed.
The landcruisers line up is long and has been around for more than a quarter of a century, and in that time each model has pulled on the heartstrings of collectors. The J60 is a collector's favorite and finding one that has its original bones intact is a very big challenge. Present today is that elusive find that you scour the interwebs for and takes shape with this 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62. Hailing from Tehachapi, California, this classic Japanese off-roader is a rarity thanks to its originality.
The Fifty Series or J50 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those comparatively lesser-known sorts in the United States. Produced between 1967 and 1980, it marked the start of the Station Wagon line-up of the Land Cruiser family, the ones that were slightly less hardcore than the Heavy Duty series, and more SUV-like. Today’s 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is a fine example that’s weathered the test of time over the years. Now, it sits proud in Chapel Hill waiting for a new owner, and rocks just 305 miles after a full frame-off restoration. If you’re a Land Cruiser fan but want something a little less mainstream, this vehicle is perfect!
The Toyota 4Runner has earned a reputation as one of the most durable and capable SUVs ever built, especially for drivers who enjoy exploring far beyond paved roads. This 2020 Toyota 4Runner Venture Special Edition takes that capability even further with a comprehensive set of professionally installed overlanding upgrades designed for adventure and self-sufficiency. Showing 99,154 miles, this example is finished in Super White over a Black SofTex interior and is equipped with Toyota’s proven 4.0L V6 and full-time off-road hardware. What truly sets this 4Runner apart is its thoughtfully assembled expedition build, including an AluCab Gen 3 rooftop tent, Ironman Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 suspension system compatible with KDSS, and a Redarc dual-battery power management system—features that transform this SUV into a fully capable overland platform ready for extended off-grid travel.
