 My
name is Anand Shah, and
this is my 1977 FJ40. I purchased it in April of 1997 after shopping for
over a year and dreaming for many more. This cruiser has a Chevy 350 with
a Holley carb, Hooker headers, five 33x12.50s on 15" aluminiums, a custom
interior with great seats, poly bushings, a fully padded cage, ranchos and a new
Bestop. In the near future, I plan to remove the very little rust
that it has, Rhino-Line under the interior carpet, get a paint job and winch.
Once I graduate from college and start making some money, I hope to add lockers
and OME suspension. Gimme a holler if you are ever in Houston, Texas. Here
is my sweet honey "Bessy",in the San Rafael Swell,Utah-USA I have done
some improvements to to my stock 1988 FJ 62 Landcrusier. To start off with, I
added the "best" lift, an Old Man Emu full suspension kit. This lift
kit rasied my crusier about 4 inches and improved the ride. After the lift I
added larger tires (Bridgestone Dueler A/T 31x10.5). Next I added a full roof
rack with aluminum storage locker. The engine is still stock except for the
K&N air filter, but I have big plans for the future. Check out all of my plans
and photos. Jeremy Herridge  Hello,
My name is William Arnold and I live in
the southern California area. My cruiser is a 1972 with to much to list, from
the 4-wheel disk brakes to the 400+ hp stroked small block chevy. I started the
project in 1993 by removing the body and started working on the frame and drive
train. It's alot of fun to drive and handles like a sports car. I have gotten
around 14-mpg on the freeway with the Howell 4-bbl fuel injection system w/ GM
computer keeping averything in tune, and with posi units at both ends, it goes
almost anywhere. Happy Land Cruisen. This
is my 1979 FJ40. I bought it two years ago with only 27,000 miles on it.
I've spent a year doing a ground up restoration. Goodies include
Rancho suspension, posi front and rear end, Holley Pro-Jet fuel injection and
Downey headers on stock six cylinder engine, 6-point roll cage, power steering,
power brakes, cruise control, CD player, front bumper tool box, bikini top, 16X7
Outlaw II wheels with 265/75 radial M&S tires. I am selling this Land
Cruiser, asking $17,000 OBO to raise money for my next project, another FJ40
with a 350 Chevy engine. I would consider a trade, I'm looking for a 75
through 83 FJ40 with a good body (motor need not run, or be included as far as
that goes). Contact Steve Muus, 902 3rd St. SW, Minot ND

here is photo of my 1985 FJ60 Landy in Block Island, Rhode Island. I am
originally from Venezuela, where Land Cruisers are the choice vehicle. I live in
the U.S.A now and it was only natural for me to go and find a used Landy. She is
my everyday vehicle as well as my surf expedition vehicle. The mechanicals are
running strong, future plans are fixing the rust that is starting to creep up
and maybe giving her a brand new paint job. Rafael
Attias My
name is Adrian Vera, I'm from
Venezuela, but I'm living in Colorado right now. Here is my 86 FJ60 U.S
model, build it to meet the exigency of Venezuelan jungle four wheeling.
The picture is in Pritchett Canyon, Moab UT. This
is "La pesadilla del Samuray", my 1984 Long Chasis Toyota Land Cruiser
heading south to "La Gran Sabana, Venezuela, one of the most beautiful
places on earth. The rack on top was used to carry an aluminum boat on my
fishing trips to lake "Guri" and more often held kayacs and Mountain
bikes. In twelve years ownership I shared great experiences with it. I sold it
(God Forgive me) to a friend who continues to use it on touring expeditions to
the jungle regions of Venezuela. Now I live in Miami, Fl (the flattest land on
earth) and long for the good days on my Cruiser. What should I get here?....a

Yoshida Hi,
I am Joao Branco from Setubal, Portugal. This is a picture of my 1984 Toyota
BJ40 taken last january in Grandola. I?ve purchased it one year ago and
recently the rust was completly removed and he was repainted. The motor has
180.000 Km and it is in very good conditions, so I intend to make another
180.000 Km off-road. Joao Branco My
name is Warren Fox (TLCA #4247), and in February 1997 I purchased a 1976 FJ40.
The Cruiser has a Ford 302 and 33s put in by the preceding owner. Being a
Southern California USA vehicle, it has no rust and the original paint is in
good shape. The interior is stock except for sagging aftermarket seats. My first
project is a complete OME suspension, followed by power steering. I use the
Cruiser for romping in the local deserts and mountains. I wish I had this back
when I went on the Pinyon Mountain trip Warren
Fox Here
is my Toyota BJ 70 1986, with I crossed Libyan desert in December 1996, it's
wonderful. martines
 My
current FJ40 is a 1976. It also has a Chevy 350, with a 350 automatic and an
NP203 transfer case. I am currently disassembling it, for a complete rebuild. It
looked good, but was full of rust and missing almost everything
"cruiser". The former owner did a real hack job on this, a real shame.
Oh well, check back for further resto updates. Marc
Sahr My
TLC is a 1973 FJ55. It was bought brand new in Carson City, NV by our next door
neighbor who was an FBI agent. It was used to chase Drug dealers etc... I bought
it in 1992. Work completed and modification accomplished since then are:
Complete rebuild of F motor, 3sp tranny, t-case, rear axle, front axle, most of
the switches. An EZ-locker in the rear, saginaw ps, custom grant steering wheel,
magnaflow 2.5" exhaust. 33 x 10.2 radial buckshot mudders, custom front and
rear bumpers, front disk brakes from a 76 wagon. Captains chairs from a custom
minivan. And a complete carpet kit. royal
rose I
have a 73' FJ40 that I've owned now for 15 years. Other than the Chevy 305 mill
and the VW park lamps it is all original with a 3 speed transmission. I have had
it on the road for the past 14 years. Goes to work almost everyday! Have no idea
how some owners on this page would ever consider SELLING such a reliable
vehicle. This beast is the toughest slab of metal/rubber/glass out there
(excluding Freightliner etc.) I would love to hear from any other East Coast
Canadian's who are of like mind and anyone out there who has a deal on parts.
Toyota has all the parts but guys how do you charge people such prices for 24
year old parts in dusty dirty little plastic bags??? Michael
R. Cook Ripples,N.B. This

dark to day. I added a Thule roof rack (not seen in photo), window visor by Ox.

goes over rocks and through mud like crazy. Matt
