Vehicle Description
Take the tough-as-nails Land Cruiser reputation and add diesel
power, and we're surprised this 4x4 isn't forged out of granite! So
you can look over all the details and fun upgrades of this 1977
Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40, but you already know this is a terrific
vintage off-roader for those who take this seriously.
We like the way this Land Cruiser presents itself with a touch more
flair. There's extra polish to the grille, hood latches, and
wheels. And the green paint lets this one stand out more than the
khaki FJs you usually see (remember, this is a BJ - a true diesel
import.) But nothing here ever steps out of line. After all, the
color they chose could get lost in a green meadow, and so it fits
ideally with nature. And the bright white rood just makes this look
like a true classic that just likes to add the correct flair. As
you dig deeper into this one, you also see some useful upgrades to
make it even more versatile. The updated LED halo headlights help
keep the trail lit and those bright alloys and rear fender flares
allow for wider off-road tires. There are even well-integrated
handy features, like a 12k winch up front and a newer full-size
spare on a rear swing-away mount. In total, you get a very straight
and clean Land Cruiser that also is unmistakably ready to have some
off-road fun.
Inside is plenty of true classic style but with a fresher
presentation from a proper investment. The upholstery, dash, door
panels, rubber flooring, and fresh headliner are durable yet
inviting. You have all the best hallmark features of the classic
Land Cruiser, like the rear barn doors, side-mounted rear jump
seats, and a removable hardtop. You get the correct grippy
three-spoke steering wheel, and beyond that is the classic dash
with the correct instruments (with the odometer in KM on this
import) and the four-wheel-drive instruction bolted to the glove
box.
The B in the BJ40 designation means you get Toyota's 3.0-liter
B-series diesel motor. Yes, that's right, this was born with the
ultra-desirable and nearly indestructible powerplant. 1977 is a
later model from this generation, which means you also have the
added control of a four-speed manual transmission. The way this
full package runs and shifts smoothly really sends the message of
proper care. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you can spot
the two-speed transfer case and both beefy axles looking good. So
the extra torque of this diesel 4x4 is absolutely ready for
off-road duty. Plus, with features like power brakes and modern
all-terrain tires, this one is confident on the street and
trail.
A diesel Land Cruiser offers true ability and true distinction. So
if you're ready to go farther, you need this torque-filled true
classic. Call today!!!
