The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series

I am a dealer of classic and collectible cars as well as a life-long 4 x 4 enthusiast. After meeting a Japanese vehicle exporter through a mutual friend. I became an importer of rare and unique 4 x 4's. I specialize in Toyota Land Cruisers and other Toyota 4 x 4's. I imported this rust-free. low-mileage BJ 74 in December of last year. It is 100% legal to own and drive in all 50 states. Outside of the US. the Land Cruiser 70 series is a legendary vehicle platform well-known for offroad capability and unmatched reliability and durability. Now that these vehicles are past the 25-year-old limit. we can enjoy them here in the states.

e Bay requires a 17-digit VIN in the listing. the actual VIN for this BJ 74 is BJ 740000955. It was produced for the Japanese Domestic Market and does not have a 17-digit VIN. The original VIN plate reading BJ 740000955 is still fixed in the factory location on the engine firewall. The Missouri title and customs documentation all match this VIN.

Rust-Free. Original Condition

This BJ 74 is a rust-free and well-maintained vehicle. The photos show the condition and tell the story. The body has a few small paint chips as might be expected from a 28-year old vehicle. Also. the paint is slightly faded on the upper fenders. The hood was repainted at some point. likely it was faded as well.

The complete vehicle is in excellent condition. There is zero rust on the entire body. The interior is very clean. and the undercarriage is also very clean and unmolested. The mechanical condition is excellent as well.

Everything on this BJ 74 works. The gauges in the clinometer pod all function. The radio is an aftermarket 12 volt AM/FM/Cassette (Japanese band) powered by a 24 v-12 v converter mounted on the driver kick panel. This converter can also be used to power 12 volt accessories like a CB radio or other add-ons. The A/C system wasn't functioning. and I had it converted to R 134 a at a professional automotive Heat/AC service shop. The winch works properly. and comes with the original plug-in controller. Even the original toolkit and jack are included. This BJ 74 arrived with aftermarket lift shackles that add about 2" to the suspension height of the vehicle.

This BJ 74 is loaded with options including:

Power Windows

Power Locks

Power Brakes

Power Steering

Factory Electric Winch

Factory AC

Tilt Steering Column

Adjustable Suspension Seats

4. 11:1 Axle Ratio

Full-Float Rear Axle

Rear Limited Slip Differential

The 13 B-T turbo-diesel engine works flawlessly. and you can expect to get 20-25 MPG during normal driving. The automatic transmission passed all service inspections. and shifts smoothly. The differentials and transfer case had clean fluid. free of any indication of problems. See the full list of everything inspected and serviced in the section below. This BJ 74 is a great vehicle for driving around town or on the highway. The adjustable suspension seats make the ride very comfortable.
