1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Description

Known around the world as an unstoppable4 x 4. This iconic Landcruiser BJ43 is very rare and was not originally offered for sale in this country. The stock 3B diesel was replaced with a Toyota 1HZ diesel engine and a 5 speed transmission was also added. The bonus here is the Fairey Overdrive unit. It adds a high and low to all of the 6 gears.It comes in really handy when driving on the highway.

This BJ43 drives well and always starts right up. I use it to run around town and have not had any problems with it. The low end torque and low gearing allows you to literally crawl along at a snails pace should you desire.

This is the last and probably the best of the5 Landcruisers that I have owned.I acquired this Bj43 back in 2010 from a nice gentleman up in VT. He had completely rebuilt this BJ43 in 2007-2008.Duringmy ownership It has always been garage kept and well maintained.Please see the specifications and pictures below.
