When Toyota and Land Rover went head to head in the 1960s, Toyota prevailed in the roughest and toughest parts of the world, as the short-wheelbase FJ40 required less maintenance than its British counterpart. Not surprisingly, collectors have recognized the value of Toyota’s back-country workhorse, and their enthusiasm is reflected in rising prices. Exceptional FJ40s can command as much as the most sophisticated modern 4X4s, with the certain knowledge that they are as tough, and far easier to repair. While some Land Rovers enjoy limited use as weekend showpieces, FJ40s are still doing the job for which they were designed. The FJ40 also made considerable inroads into the Jeep market in the U.S. in the 1960s and ’70s, prized for the excellent factory hardtop, not offered by their American counterpart. The last FJ40s were imported to the U.S. in 1983, when it was replaced by a softer Land Cruiser SUV aimed at suburban travel. I have tried to show as much as I can with the pictures.
