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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
The 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod takes one of Toyota’s most iconic off-road platforms and upgrades it with a substantially more powerful drivetrain, modernized braking, revised suspension, and a more comfortable cabin. Showing approximately 4,502 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and features upgrades including power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, Rancho shocks, 17-inch XD wheels, and custom tube bumpers. Inside, leather reclining front seats, a custom center console, AutoMeter gauges, navigation, and JL Audio equipment bring a more contemporary feel to the otherwise classic FJ40 layout.
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has earned legendary status for its rugged durability and off-road capability, making it one of the most iconic 4x4s ever built. This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod takes that proven platform to an entirely new level with extensive performance, drivetrain, suspension, and utility upgrades. Showing just 11,377 miles, this professionally built FJ40 is finished in Green over a Gray interior and replaces its original powertrain with a Chevrolet 454ci V8 backed by a GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 700R4 automatic transmission. Equipped with ARB air lockers, 37-inch Toyo tires, a Warn winch, and numerous custom upgrades, this FJ40 is equally at home conquering challenging trails or turning heads at any automotive event.
By the late 1980s, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 had earned a worldwide reputation that few four-wheel drives could match. Built with Toyota's legendary emphasis on durability, reliability, and mechanical simplicity, the FJ62 represented the final evolution of the iconic 60-Series Land Cruiser sold in North America. Combining modern conveniences like electronic fuel injection and an automatic transmission with traditional body-on-frame construction and solid axles, the FJ62 became equally at home navigating mountain trails, crossing continents, or serving as a dependable daily driver. Showing 178,062 miles, this Land Cruiser embodies the rugged capability and enduring legacy that have made 60-Series examples some of the most sought-after classic SUVs on the market today.
By the time the fourth-generation Supra arrived, Toyota had transformed the nameplate from a grand touring coupe into something far more serious. The 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo sits near the peak of that evolution, combining the now-iconic 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-six with rear-wheel drive and, in this example, the sought-after 6-speed manual transmission. Showing approximately 136,725 miles, this Renaissance Red car keeps the enthusiast formula intact: twin-turbo power, a proper manual gearbox, a limited-slip differential, polished 17-inch wheels, and a removable sport roof. The Mk4 Supra earned its reputation not just because it was quick for its era, but because Toyota engineered in a level of strength and tuning potential that would eventually turn the car into a legend well beyond its original production run. This one still presents that appeal in a configuration that feels very much like the Supra enthusiasts fell in love with.
The 1998 Toyota Supra has become one of the defining Japanese performance cars of its era, and this example takes the platform far beyond its original specification with a comprehensively engineered high-horsepower build. Originally configured as a naturally aspirated automatic car, it now carries a built 3.0-liter 2JZ-GTE-based powertrain, a Precision Next Gen 8085 single turbo, Haltech engine management, and a Grannas Racing T56 Magnum-F 6-speed manual conversion. The car shows approximately 74,952 total miles, with the seller reporting roughly 1,500 miles on the current build. Output has been recorded at 1,208 wheel horsepower and 861 lb-ft on a Mainline hub dyno and 1,301 wheel horsepower and 930 lb-ft on a Dynojet, with a reported 1,535 horsepower and 1,094 lb-ft at the crank. Seven boost-by-speed settings range from 10 to 42 psi, corresponding to approximately 600 to 1,300 wheel horsepower. Finished in Imperial Jade Mica with a beige leather interior, this Supra combines serious drag- and roll-racing capability with an extensive list of Powerhouse Racing, Radium Engineering, BC Racing, Grannas Racing, Hypertune, Plazmaman, Turbosmart, and Haltech hardware. The work is reported to have been completed by KM Autowerks, with tuning by Lawrence Shipman / LS Fabrication.
This 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD Special Edition 4x4 takes the FJ’s already rugged formula and pushes it considerably further with a long list of expedition-focused upgrades. Showing approximately 164,649 miles, it combines the TRD Special Edition Package and Convenience Package with ARB front and rear bumpers, a synthetic-cable winch, Safari snorkel, auxiliary lighting, additional fuel capacity, rooftop camping equipment, and a dual-battery electrical setup. Its AirTop rooftop tent, ARB refrigerator, ARB shade awning, Baja roof rack, and 38-gallon combined fuel capacity give this FJ the equipment to venture well beyond a typical weekend trail run, while the blacked-out presentation ties the build together with an appropriately purposeful look.
