Paired with the release of my Toyota FJ40 Drawing T-shirt I decided to make this brief history video talking about some of the milestones for this truck. Also, thank you to the FJ Company for allowing us usage of some of their excellent FJ video footage.
If you are interested in one of our FJ40 tees, check the link below. I will also be releasing soon a hat version of this design that should be available before Thanksgiving.

Excellent video! As a former Land Rover owner (1964 to 1994), and a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon owner (April 2012 to present, Oct. 2019), I've long had a very high opinion of the Toyota Land Cruiser. As long as I've known of the Land Cruiser - going back to April 1964 - I've realized it is an exceptionally able vehicle. Thanks for the brief history of the FJ Land Cruiser!

I got my first one in the fall of 1974. It was the 1973 FJ 40. The first with a floor mount stick shift. I drove the Alaska Highway with it in the spring of 1976. My second one was bought in Helena , Montana in the fall of 1978. It was a 1977, the olive brown, double rear door, four speed. It later got a home made winch. I last saw it in Malta, Montana in 1991. I did a lot of off reading back then.

I grew up in the UK loving Land Rovers while my cousin grew up in Africa loving Land Cruisers. Don't tell him but he was right, the Land Cruiser is the better vehicle. So much so that I now own a 70 series. I have always worked on my own vehicles for the past 35 years, I can honestly say I am blown away by the Japanese engineering. They don't just build a component, they redesign parts, perfect them, adapt them for the vehicle and only then fit them. The 70 series is still being made and is one tough vehicle.

Thank you Harvey Smith for the history. My dad in the 70s took me off road a couple times in the 40 series. His mates in the Australian forces swears by the cruisers n they claimed that Land Rovers just weren't hardy enough in the rough n heat. Up until the sixties n probably seventies it was no mean feat for any japanese products to get such high praises considering the rovers were British made n European products had been held in high esteem.

I've owned my '69 for ten years now. I brought back to life after it had been sitting, wasting away since 1993. I paid $2K for it and it's worth considerably more now. It still has the stock drive train but it is very capable off road. I drive it to Cars and Coffee on occasion and it always gets a lot of interest and comments from people at the show!

I recently bought my second land cruiser. A 1975 fj-40 relatively unmolested and in great shape, no rust and a beautiful faded rustic green. My first land cruiser was a 1970 I had in high school. I drove the wheels of it and it never let me down. Being young and dumb and broke I let it go when repairs were needed and no $$$ in my pocket. Recently I started looking for another 4x4 and found a 75 on-line. A bit pricey but my wife said if you want it, go for it!! God, she is the best! Test drove it and it took me back to high school and many great times on and off road. I was looking at more affordable c-js but come on. The f-js were just way better built. Chris

Australia was also an early export market for the Land Cruiser, where in the late 50s, a handful were imported to supplement the Land Rovers that were being used in what was then the largest public works engineering scheme that’s ever been undertaken in Australia - the Snowy Mountains Scheme. This scheme (started in 1949) was constructed over 25 years and had over 100,000 workers. The scheme generates hydro electricity from the water and snow of the Snowy Mountains and diverts it to use for irrigation water. It is the most complex, multi-reservoir hydro schemes in the world and has over 140 kilometres of tunnels and 15 large dams. The scheme required rugged 4×4 vehicles that could work in the hostile and demanding environment of the Snowy Mountains. Land Rover was the vehicle of choice in the early days of the scheme, but the company was struggling to keep up with demand. So Thiess, the world's largest mining service provider and contracted for the scheme, went looking for a vehicle that would be suitable to fill the gap. And in the late 50s, Thiess imported a handful of Land Cruisers, as a tough workhorse that would be capable of withstanding the harsh terrain of the range. The Land Cruiser quickly proved to be more capable and reliable than the Land Rover, and were favoured by the drivers. This scheme is what made the Land Cruiser (and Toyota's) outstanding reputation in this country. To this day we have a saying in this country, if you want to go to the outback, bring a Land Rover. But if you want to come back, better take a Land Cruiser.

Always take both. Land Rover for when the Toyota gets stuck and the Toyota to tow the Land Rover home. I named my Discovery Petra when I got her because I was petrified what would break next. Remarkably it is the most reliable and resilient vehicle I've ever owned.

Toyota actually flew over some of their engineers to provide support for those Landcruisers when they first came into Australia. One of their tasks was to send back reports on any part failures or issues so that the design flaws could be fixed back in Japan. That continuous improvement is impressive when compared to most other auto manufacturers that don't give a damn if their cars are total lemons.

The first fj40 ever that I saw was in 1973 when my dad bought a bare bones KE20. Needless to say, I fell in love. It had by then a fully synched 4speed gearbox and WOOOWWW!!! 15 inch wheels and tires. On a Japanese vehicle! So yeah when I finally bought one it was in the nineties. Pushed in a small block Chrysler in it. Somebody came, was, liked it and bought it for nearly double the price. After 2 days I regretted selling it :(

Good video you made here keep it coming. Back in the 80s we took a in-line 6 cylinder engine from a wrecked 4 door Land Cruiser along with the wire harness and computer ( fuel injected engine ) and it bolted right into a 56 Chevy Pick Up, Made for a nice power plant in this truck. It bolted in the Chevy because Toyota got the production rights to the Chevy 235 in line 6 cylinder engine when Chevy dropped it from their production. I would love to have about 72-76 4 door Land Cruiser.

Years ago, my brother in law was trail riding with 3 other guys in his 40 hard top. He managed to roll it off and drop 20-30 feet down a ravine landing on the roof. They unbuckled, flipped it back over and drove out. I'm pretty sure the "new" ones won't do that. Too much plastic.

You're just a Jappo Toyota fanboy! Rides a Honda too! ;-) But seriously, I really enjoyed your video. I've become a huge Jeep fan in the past year (although I've always like them), but as my interest has grown, I've begun to appreciate the FJ-40. In fact, I'd love to have one (probably the 43 model), but I don't have the disposable income. (Plus, I'd be afraid to scratch it.) As for your outtakes, it shows a great deal of humility that you showed them. I've done voice over work for 15 years and now I'm doing on-camera... it's more challenging than people realize, particularly with scripted narration! I will check back with future installments of your channel.

Instead we are stuck with rebuilding very old Fjs, or settling for the American version of a land cruiser that has been optimized for soccer moms getting groceries.

The J in the FJ stands for “land cruiser” it was never confirmed by Toyota that the J stood for Jeep.

I will say the same thing I said on the Landcruiser Museum youtube channel the FJ40 was the best and last good landcruiser with it heavy duty military spec undercarriage after this model the landcruiser was less utility and began a swing toward civilian meaning comfort and gadgets but to this day the FJ40 is still a favorite among serious off roaders, there was however one flaw but it is easily fixed. The person from the museum that replied to this comment was I would say by their remarks slightly upset and talking shit...it was cute LOL

@dg Wiley That's true. Toyota ended up with engine blueprints from GM on the old stovebolt 6.

willys jeeps, early FJs, and early Series Land Rovers were the best cars ever built. Shame to see that Toyota is really the only standing brand to be "reliable" in todays standards.

I've owned two of the FJ40s, a 76 and a 77 and also an 88FJ62. We loved them all..Very reliable to an extreme but gas hogs. Loved the FJ's and 62 for all off road tasks though. These are very heavy duty. No mystery they hold up better I mean just look underneath one of them some time you'll see it's massive heavy suspension and parts underneath. They have a lower center of gravity than a Jeep on the same wheel base due to that weight but I've owned Jeeps and have one now actually and day in and day out you have to upgrade a lot of the Jeep to hold up. The TLC comes ready for it as is.

Cool vid! Make sure you to to the FJ40 forums in ih8mud and post this if you haven't already. I am sure they would appreciate it. Do one for the 80 series too. I've been to Japan a number of times. They are well known for their BJs...just a fun fact. ;-) I am subscriber #90
