Details

This 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 has undergone a meticulous restoration, combining originality with modern reliability. Powered by a B3000 diesel engine, the vehicle includes a fully overhauled drivetrain featuring new rings, pistons, camshaft, bearings and seals. The rectified injection system is equipped with new injectors, pins and seals. The transmission and differentials have also been restored, and the exhaust system and fuel components, including the tank and lines, are brand-new. The body was removed from the chassis, sandblasted and painted, with every nut, bolt, hinge, seal and weatherstrip replaced with original Toyota parts. Suspension upgrades include new shocks, spring hangers, shackles, leaf springs and tie rods. The interior preserves original features such as the headliner and door panels, while refurbished seats and updated air conditioning provide modern comfort. The electrical system - including the alternator, ignition and pre-ignition systems - has been completely refurbished. Additional enhancements include electric power steering, a new radiator with hoses and updated brakes. With less than 500 miles post-restoration and never driven off-road or in extreme conditions, this BJ40 represents an example of Toyota's classic Land Cruiser, blending rugged reliability with restored authenticity.
