ABOUT TOYO CRUISERS

Toyo Cruisers of Fort Lauderdale, Flordia is focused on finding, restoring, and importing rare, collectible, vintage Toyota Land Cruisers from Columbia. The word "restoration" is being thrown around lightly these days, but at Toyo Cruisers, we know what the word really means and we take our restorations seriously. Our Cruisers aren't simply tuned up and re-painted. They are taken completely apart and put back together refreshing everything along the way.

Toyo Cruisers and Red Line Land Cruisers are working hand in hand to bring you the best FJs at the best price. Once a Land Cruiser is brought into the United States by Toyo Cruisers, Red Line Land Cruisers works to list each Land Cruiser and is available for any additional customization that may be required (hard tops, air condition, V8 conversions, custom suspensions, tire swing outs, winches, and more).

RESTORATION OVERVIEW

For a full run down on the restoration, please scroll below the pictures.

Please note that this is a non-US FJ40. The primary differences in a non-US FJ40 include:

—Front bench seat (as opposed to bucket seats)
—16" split rims (these are not DOT approved, we have a set of OEM US FJ40 15" rims for sale)
—No emissions equipment
—Long bench seats in the rear and no roll bar (we can custom fabricate a roll cage for you or fit a US FJ40 roll cage)
—No front dash pad
—Soft Top (we can source a hard top and paint to match plus source rear ambulance doors)

This applies to ALL non-US FJs, including many for sale here on eBay. While this is a non-US FJ40, it is now titled and registered in the United States and can be driven here legally without issue as long as your city does not require certain emissions restrictions (for many cities this is a non issue because of the age of the vehicle but please check before bidding or give us a buzz if you have questions).
