1993 Toyota Land Cruiser Fzj80 on 2040-cars
Browns Valley, California, United States
The truck has been repainted its current shade of beige with black fender flares and Land Cruiser graphics on the lower bodywork. Equipment includes quad flood lights and LED auxiliary lighting, an ARB roof rack with a Smittybilt roof-top tent, ARB front bumper, custom-made rear bumper with integrated tow hooks, a front winch, front fender protection, rock sliders, an intake snorkel, swing-out rear spare carrier, a hi-lift jack, and a jerry can mount. A handful of photos from the repaint are provided in the gallery.
Black 16″ five-spoke wheels are installed with 1.5″ spacers and mounted with 315/75 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires. A matching spare is housed out back. The suspension has been modified with an Old Man Emu steering stabilizer and an Icon Stage 3 lift kit, consisting of remote reservoir shocks and dual-rate coil springs on all four corners. Braking comes from four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. An alignment was performed and the brake booster was replaced in December 2021.
The cabin features two rows of seats that have been reupholstered in tan and brown leather with matching door panels. Brown carpeting is protected by tan rubber floor mats. Amenities include a sunroof, automatic climate control, an Alpine touchscreen head unit, and power windows and locks. A JL-Audio subwoofer is mounted in the cargo area, and a CB radio has been added, along with an auxiliary panel for the aftermarket lighting.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 224k miles, approximately 20k of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report shows a mileage inconsistency in May 2009, thus true mileage is unknown.
The 4.5-liter 1FZ-FE inline-six was rated at 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque when new. Service in December 2021 included replacing the throttle body assembly and oil pressure switch.
Power is delivered to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking center and rear differentials. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.

Australia may offer money to keep Toyota making cars there
Tue, 04 Jun 2013In the wake of last month's announcement that Ford will cease automotive and engine production in Australia after 2016, many are wondering what the country's other automakers will do. Holden has already confirmed it will stay the course despite Ford's exit.
Much of the GM subsidiary's reason for sticking around has to do with a deal made last year between Holden and the Australian government. In order to secure a GM investment of $1 billion and a commitment to keep manufacturing in Australia through 2022, the government threw in an extra $215 million. According to Australia's Minister for Innovation and Industry, Greg Combet, the government is now in talks with Toyota for a similar deal.
Toyota operates one plant in Australia, the Altona manufacturing and engine plant in Victoria. The facility produces the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Australasia-only Aurion for both the local market and export. The report from GoAuto indicates that negotiations with the Australian government would include adding production of a third, all-new model at Altona, possibly the new RAV4, because it shares many parts with the Camry.
New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.
Supra successor may be all-electric sourced from Tesla; MR2 returning too?
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Rumors of a revival of the Toyota Supra and MR2 have been swirling for years right up until just this week when high-level Toyota employees all but confirmed their return.
But now The Detroit Bureau has put together news from different sources suggesting that the next Supra might be all electric. The report cites recent comments from Toyota senior executives hinting at plans to work with Tesla on a new joint project. The FT-HS Concept (shown above) seems a logical inspiration for a new Supra.
And on the other side of the equation is Tesla's design chief Franz von Holzhausen who was quoted last year saying his company was looking at its next project, probably a sports car, that would follow next year's intro of the Model X. He went on to suggest the car would compete directly with BMW's 3 Series, which, in coupe form, could be a worthy competitor to a Supra as well.
