Paul Fuertsch's FJ-45, purchased in Montana about 3
years ago. I had the cowl replaced, the F motor replaced with a rebuilt 2F, and
the tranny and transfer replaced with those out of a 79. Other small work
includes rebuilt carburetor, new distributor and other little items; otherwise,
it is pretty original and pretty rust free. I use it for everyday travel and one
of these days will probably give it a frame off restoration.
I picked up this beauty in Lawrence, KS. The
exterior was in great shape. The interior and engine needed work. I replaced the
uppholstery on the bench seats, did some minor replacement under the hood
(manifold, ignition parts, etc...), added a sport bar and new tires. Took it
topless for the summer... looks great, runs great, climbs like a mountain goat!

Juan Carlos Anglade's 1982 fj40 taken in Estado
Guarico in Venezuela, I was crossing the river in a out-door fishing trip. I
always been a Land Cruiser fan, specially in fj40's. This truck has 300.000 Kms
and still has the original standard engine 100% toyota, it has 4 speed
transmission, power steering, air-conditioning, disc brakes in front, Dana 60 in
rear, K&B suspenssion, 4 Hankook 36" 9.00-R16, 18 gals aux. tank, and
some others modifications like 3F intake manifold, fj60 fan-clutch... I live in
Caracs Venezuela and I think that Venezuela is a virgin land to explore on your
Land Cruiser... I have so many others pictures of my fj40 in many others
off-road places, if anybody interested, contact me.

Ian Staines' 1985 BJ70. This is my truck. My
previous vehicle was a 1982 BJ40, but the rust was getting me down so I
upgraded. This truck is still stock. It has a 5 speed transmission, power
steering, and BF Goodrich All Terrains. I use it mainly for getting me to the
hiking and climbing spots around British Columbia. Work that needs to be done
includes new springs, and a bull bar with winch. This photo shows some of the
logging roads near Lilloette BC.
Thomas M. Bovaird -- I have a Toyota
LJ70 for sale in the U.S.A.! The LC was bought new in Italy in 1991. I then
shipped it to Chad in Africa and I used it for two years. By error it was
shipped in 1993 to New York. After much difficulty and not a little expense, I
succeeded in legally importing the car. To my knowledge, and the opinion of the
EPA and DOT, it is the only LJ70 legally in the U.S. It is a short wheelbase EEC
spec. version, red in color, with the 2LT turbo diesel 2.5L engine. At the
moment it has 40,000 km of use and no damage.
Sam Houston -- I have been a fan of Land Cruisers
for as long as I can remember, but this 1987 FJ60 is the first that I've owned.
It is all original with the exception of the TJM bumper and the Ramsey winch. It
has 82,000 miles on it at this time (75,000 when I bought it in December of
1995) and is running strong now that it has a new cylinder head (ouch!). It is a
daily driver as well as trail transportation. Future plans include OME
suspension, 33 inch BFG MTs, ARBs front and rear, rear bumper with tire carrier,
larger fuel tank, ..., and maybe a NV4500 when I win the lottery. I wish I could
build it quicker. Maybe the biggest modification I am planning is the addition
of a mid 70's FJ40. I hope I can find a decent one that I can afford.
Steve Woo -- I bought this '71 FJ40 2 years ago.
The previous owner had put a '72 F engine with a '74 4-spd tranny, and had
painted it. I have redone the interior, added an Auburn ltd-slip diff. to the
rear. Headers, 3" lift, Rancho 5000 w/ Hectthorne steering stabilizer and
BF Goodrich All-terrain's 32x11.50-15's round out the package. Most of the stuff
bought over at Specter Off-Road. Great bunch of guys over there.
Charlie Niehaus of Altamont, IL USA. Here is a snap
of my FJ62GXL. It is the Family wagon that gets a lot of offroad time! (Thus
explains the missing bumper caps on the from bumper - Hard winters here in
central Illinois. It has 180,000+ miles and still runs like a champ. I get in
some trail riding, which is what I was up to on this fine day. (If you look real
hard you may even see my 2 yr old daughter asleep in her car seat - she loves to
offroad, and can sleep throgh most jars and bumps, unless she is thrown from the
set. At least I know it works!) Bought this off a lot before the dealer knew
what he had. (Not many cruisers in Central IL.
My name is Tim Nugent and I have been a LC owner
for 12 years now. I am happy to say my LC has always brought me home. If you
could add it to your list of pix that would be great! My LC's stats are: 350
Chevy bored .040 over, holly 600cfm carb, flowmaster mufflers, performer
manifold, trw pistons, balaced and bluprinted engine.

Richard W. Franklin's 1972 fj-55. I live in
California in Ridgecrest the Mojave Desert. The vehicle is all stock except for
the colors. It has about 46,000 miles to its credit. It hasn't gotten much off
road use yet been too busy making it look like it does. I have only owned it for
about 2 months before this picture was taken.

Stephen W. Comstock's '91 FJ-80 which I purchased
in October of '95 with only 28K miles on it. The upgrades are an ARB bull bar
with a Warn 10K winch, and the running boards which my wife likes, but are
somewhat of a hindrance to me off road. Future upgrades will include Old Man Emu
shock/spring combos and lockers for the front and rear axles. The picture is
from a trip across the crest of the Four Peaks Mountains leading down into the
Tonto Basin and Theodore Roosevelt Lake near Punkin Center, Arizona
Bob Baran's 1977 FJ40. We purchased it when we were
living over on Kauai. It had 23,000 original miles on it when we bought it three
years ago. It is totally stock except for the radial tires and the roof rack
(not pictured). Current plans are to replace the OEM muffler with a stainless
system and replace the OEM radiator. We are currently looking to purchase a
FJ60.
Brian and Bill Jones' 1982 FJ60, Truk-Truk. This is
our stock Cruiser we will be driving throughout Central America in the summer of
'96. We are the 2nd owners, at it has about 77,000 miles on it. A little
ignition work, and a cooling system overhaul, and she'll be ready to go 10,000
miles through the jungle.
Martin's 1980 BJ-40 Diesel. When I bought it, it
was full of rust but I was happy because they are hard to find. I started by
removing the hard top the doors then I removed the back section of the truck,
cut the floor behind the seats and started from there I rebuilted the whole
thing with 12 gauge steel. A bit heavy maybe but bulletproof !!! Then I added
some 32" X 11.5" x 15" all terrain tires with 15" X 8"
chrome & black mags plus a bestop soft top. It took me a year, a lot of
nights, week-ends and a couple of beers to acheve my project but it really worth
it!.
Bruce Ellis' 74 FJ40. I rebuilt this guy from the
ground up. It is rebuilt to original except for some personal prefrences ..
front grill, wheels/tires, bumper, seats & mirrors(1980's model). The photo
was taken on Tin Cup Pass in the Sawatch Range, Colorado. I am sorry to say that
I did sell it, but it was replaced with the only thing that will climb in the
mountains better than a cruiser.. Llamas. I do currently own a 94 FJ80,
great vehicle, but there will never be another like the FJ40.
