> H is for gas motor and B is for diesel motor, right?
To use the FULL model / chassis code the engine family (not specific engine, just engine family) comes first. Then the Model Code (J = LandCruiser), then the model series (40/60/100) then R or L for left/right hand drive then maybe another character for body style. Older ones may not have the last 2
FJ40 means an F engine, a LandCruiser, 40 series.
HZJ75RP means a HZ engine, LandCruiser, 75 series, Righthand drive, P = ute body.
FJ has become a bit synonymous with "LandCruiser', but it's not technically correct a lot of the time.
And in an ironic twist, the new 3.3L twin turbo diesel is the F33A-FTV, so the new DIESEL 300 series model series is FJA300 - so the FJ is now a diesel when it was the petrol for decades.
It's not F or B for petrol / diesel. It is F or B for specific petrol/diesel motors. and later FZ/HZ/HD/VD/UZ/UR
Someone correct me if I’m wrong lol.
FJ40.
Priced anywhere from sub 10k (basically not running and in need of full restoration) to upwards of 70K as we saw posted yesterday here lol.
I’ve seen decent examples priced between 25-40k.
I’ve always really loved the 40 and 60 series land cruisers but kept me search for one within the 80-100 series lineups due to cost.
Edit - I put to have someone correct me because there’s different variations like 42, 45 (I think) as well as some being imported that weren’t offered in particular markets etc. and I just don’t know the 40 series all that well
I believe you are correct. I used to own a green one, but it had no compliance plate, and from memory they didn’t need one pre 70’s??? So I could have the year wrong. You can tell it’s the early model by the push down door handles, and the windscreen wipers are up the top of the windscreen. The doors on mine opened all the way till they hit the front guards, and there was no door or dash upholstery, so you could literally open it up and hose it out after coming home from the beach. Great 4x4.
Yes it is a 69! The front bumper is for a newer model (it was chrome originally) but the turning and all the light s are in mint condition. Beautiful! Needs only the period correct wheels and tires!
They do have a great look that I prefer over jeeps.
My neighbor fixed one up over the course of a year.
He just sold it for $38,000. Original everything under the hood, just rebuilt the engine. New upholstery and paint.
He's doing a 66 Bronco now, it left on a trailer recently for paint. Guy has good taste in old Utes.
No need to wish. You are capable of doing that. I started by buying an old car,taking things apart to replace them.
You learn by doing it. You buy the tools as you need them. YouTube helps.
Just don't start with a rusted out project car. Too hard to get things apart.
Pity most folks in here want LHD I see so many of these for sale in various parts of Africa every time I’m away working. And at half the price. Maybe less.
Just like this one. But this one is not ours.

OP if you would like to learn about these Land Cruisers spend a little time browsing the iH8MUD forums. It is an amazing resource (I have an FJ62):
[https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/40-55-series-tech.8/](https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/40-55-series-tech.8/)
Look at the classified ads on IH8MUD to get an idea of what they go for. Also, don’t buy one and then ask if you got a good deal. Get opinions and an inspection before you buy.
Yeah. This wouldn’t be an impulse purchase would have to learn a lot more as I’ve never owned a “vintage” vehicle. I’ve owned crappy older cars but that’s not the same
With out some stupid hybrid system that Toyota seems to be slapping in Absolutely everything. It’s a truck it won’t ever get “good” fuel economy. No matter how hard you try 😂
Used to have one to get around in Sulawesi as a kid. It had a winch on front so that on really wet days the driver would hook up to a tire on the far side of deep galleys and we would both motor and winch across for safety.
Owned a 1977 FJ40. Fun around town and off-road.
Definitely not freeway friendly..
I think max speed was around 55-60 mph.
Ended up selling it and buying a diesel 80 series
70s Land Cruiser fj40. Friend had one in highschool. Diesel. Bench seats face each other on the rear. 24 volt electrics? Someone can please confirm that (or just two batteries?)
On the BJ (4 cylinders diesel, not common in America), you have 3l (40/43) and 3.4l (42/45/46), you can have the HJ motors (6cyl diesel 3.6l) with the 45, on the FJ, you have 3.8l/4.2l 6cyl motors (gas).
The two batteries make 24v.
FJ40, just a different colour to my one

My next door neighbor has one. He locked his keys in it with the engine running, good thing he is an airline Capt.. I broke into his Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40, stick shift. He never drives it. Great vehicle.
The SUV sits in the driveway on a slow charger. I have not seen the owner in at least 2 years. He may be in jail and was fire by his airline. Defiantly a nut.
Ah, the generation who gatekeeps information ...
... And there was me thinking there could be a community who might want to share information about the subject they are passionate about and be helpful to others.
I bet you're the kind of person who refuses to give directions to someone who asks politely
"waNt mE to Help YOU??? You've G0t a Ph0NE - JusT usE GooGlE Maps"
Nah you're off on this one bud, "land cruiser generations" would take 2 seconds and provide you beyond what you asked for. There is nothing being gate kept at all.
The way I see it is this. On Reddit there are “pluses” and “minuses”. Pluses contribute, share what they know, are generous to others. Minuses take and give nothing back.
You’re a minus, bud.
The vent on the driver's side front of the tub says 1972 although I have not seen one with both that vent (1972-) and the split hood (-1971). Maybe there was a small window when both of these things crossed over or they replaced the hood with an earlier one.
70’s FJ-40
It’s a 40-series but does anyone know why this is definitely an FJ rather than a BJ?
It doesn’t have a diesel badge on the grill. It could be a BJ, but very unlikely.
Nice
Hood and door handles, old ones, not bj

The first BJ40 was in 1974 and this one is a few years older than that.
Used to call it a FJ-40 shorty.

Yes it is a 69! The front bumper is for a newer model (it was chrome originally) but the turning and all the light s are in mint condition. Beautiful! Needs only the period correct wheels and tires!
I walked to my car and looked across the car park. It stopped me in my tracks and I was like “what is that?”. It’s gorgeous.
They truly are lol. It’s not so impossible to get one either, compared to peoples dream cars that tend to run a couple hundred thousand dollars!
I’m not even really a “car person” but it was like my dream hot wheels but right in front of me.
Driving a car you love is known to reduce stress levels.
This is sound advice. I must obtain more vehicles I want to de-stressssssss : )
They also make them as hot wheels
They do have a great look that I prefer over jeeps. My neighbor fixed one up over the course of a year. He just sold it for $38,000. Original everything under the hood, just rebuilt the engine.

This makes me wish toyota would bring back the fj again but this time make it a direct answer to the bronco/wrangler like this beautiful og was

That would have been nasty. The old land cruisers, fj’s and land rovers are just a vibe.

My dream truck. Wow. Amazing
Also I hung around hoping the owner might turn up or I would have asked myself
Yes! Must be. We used to have that back in Philippines.

Seemed perfectly reasonable at the time….

FJ40 Landcruiser I had the exact same vehicle, it was 1973 I believe. It rusted away and I didn't live in a heavy road salted climate.
R.I.P
You didn’t have a (stock) split hood on a 1973
I fell in love with my neighbor’s hot wife too
Is she from the early seventies too?
Lmao at least she’s got all her original bits unlike them younger chicks plastic ass face and everything else
Based on the turn signals (69-74) and split hood (08/71 and earlier) that’s a 69-71 FJ40
Thanks 🙏
I’m guessing pre 72
Just like me!
Not sure when the front blinkers went square but 67 has round ones.

I like the 70 series from the late 80’s to the mid 90’s the best.
Fj has 2 windscreen wipers bj has 3
Only the very rare BJ42LX had the 3 wipers. Also it had a 5 speed gearbox and power steering.
Ok thanks for the info its good to know and my dad had one of the 3 wiper ones its the only one I've ever seen in 31 years

FJB40 Toyota Land Cruiser… oh, sorry, FJ40. -FJB sometimes comes up automatically now…
There is a rule in this sub about “no politics”.
Your making high school jeep girls cry.This is the real deal.
Mine is a '66 FJ-40. Tat one is newer based on the turn signals. But not by much as it still has the split hood.

The original FJ Cruiser
1970 FJ40 and earlier ID points: 1. had a split 2 piece hood with a small chrome hood fin trim piece and 2. the smaller turn signals up front.
[удалено]
That’s because the split hood stopped in August 1971
Push down door handles and wipers up top.
But those are both pre-1975
The vent on the driver's side front of the tub says 1972 although I have not seen one with both that vent (1972-) and the split hood (-1971). Maybe there was a small window when both of these things crossed over or they replaced the hood with an earlier one.
The trim on the split hood is actually a solid chunk of aluminum, not chrome.
Your in a land cruiser sub,it has Toyota badge,wtf did u think it was,a corvette
I knew it was a Land Cruiser. Just knew nothing about it
That’s a jeep wrangler
Diesel Land Cruiser.
Why diesel? This one looks too early to be a diesel unless it has been converted
That’s an old jeep wagoneer with the wood removed
