Get the troops there!

Bringing a massive jolt of energy to this Aussie 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 lies a heart transplant from a younger sibling: a 4.5L 6-cylinder 1FZ-F engine from an FJ80 that pumps new blood into the seasoned FJ45, offering a perfect balance of reliability and rugged power.

Clad in a striking Dune Beige finish, and complemented by a paint-matched spare gas tank, this Right Hand Drive FJ45 carries the timeless elegance of the original Toyota Land Cruiser design, with a twist of modern craftsmanship. Inside, the transformation continues with custom distressed leather seats, a Dakota Digital gauge cluster, and a custom sound system, air conditioning, offering both comfort and cutting-edge technology.

Meticulously rebuilt, the 1993 FJ80 engine was further upgraded with a modern Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system, effortlessly bringing a smoother and modern cruising to this Australian Cruiser.

And back again!

No efforts were spared to bring the frame back to its former glory: carefully repaired, epoxy-coated, sandblasted, and painted to restore its strength and resilience, it makes this classic Land Cruiser as tough as it is beautiful.

Should you start losing your grip due to excitement, the suspension is supported by 2.5” lifted Old Man Emu/ARB leaf springs and shocks, while the four-wheel disc brake conversion offers an improved safety and stopping power, especially in wet weather.

The electrical system was completely replaced and all circuits reworked to sustain this FJ45 Troopy into many decades to come. All lamps were upgraded to LED units, front and back, so you never get lost on your way home.

Ensuring that the driving experience remains engaging and true to the Land Cruiser's legacy, we’ve rebuilt the 5-speed manual gearbox to deliver a 212 horsepower to the 16” steel rims. The custom power steering was set up to bring ease to the wheel, while the new engine cylinder head, radiator, and cooling system keep things running smoothly even in the harshest conditions.

If you have a taste for the beauty of classic trucks elevated by the pleasure of modern creature comforts, our flawlessly restored 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 is about to become your new best friend!
