70 Series Land Cruisers were not imported into the US but saw use in Japan, Africa, Australia and Central/South America. Driving a RHD is easily undertaken on US roadways and requires very little time to adjust. Parts are readily available and many Toyota shops eagerly work on these vehicles.
Originally finished in a two-tone scheme of Dark Blue Mica Metallic and Flaxen Mica Metallic, the body was repainted its current shade of FJ blue during restoration in Japan. An eclectic mirror is standard to the passenger-side fender, and additional features include headlamp washers, adjustable side mirrors, aftermarket window tint, chrome bumpers, running boards, and a hitch receiver.

Aftermarket 16″ alloy wheels display retro FJ caps mounted with 31” tires and a spare is affixed to the rear ambulance-style doors. The truck features manually-locking front hubs and has been fitted with a lift kit with aftermarket shocks and springs.

The seats are upholstered in blue fleck and matching upholstery extends to the carpeting and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, power accessories, floor mats, and an aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system.

The aftermarket wood steering wheel sits ahead of a 170-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 4,400-rpm redline. The odometer shows just over 220k kilometers (~133k miles).
The cargo area features third row seating, tie downs and rear windows that kick out for additional ventilation.

The 3.0-liter 1KZ-TE turbodiesel inline-four transfers power to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission via a dual range transfer case. Service performed in preparation for the sale included a replacement air filter, and fuel filter along with an oil change.
