==============
Well, here goes. I've decided to bite the bullet and try to set up the
framework of a Land Cruiser FAQ. I do not claim to be a Land Cruiser expert--
all I am attempting to do is collect the knowledge that the experts on the
list have posted over time into one source. I welcome any suggestions,
corrections, or additions to this FAQ. I also welcome "articles" about
various projects (disc conversions/tranny swaps etc.) Your name will appear
alongside your article. The information in this FAQ is to be used AT YOUR
OWN RISK. I am not responsible for any death/dismemberment/grief/increase of
libido that any errors or misinformation cause you! Also please note: There
are NO spelling mistakes in this document. Anything that looks wrong to you
is actually just a Canadian spelling .

Hopefully, with release v2.0, there will be a change in whe way the FAQ is
updated. In the past, I have been guilty of hanging onto each version of the
FAQ for a long time before releasing it, because I want the information
contained in it to be "perfect." The rule of thumb I've been using is when the
FAQ doubles in size compared to the previous version, it's time to let go. From
v2.0 on, the updates will be more frequent. Unfortunately, this also increases
the chances of mistakes being made.

I have decided that I have put too much work into this thing to leave it as
"quasi-public domain" Although I can't claim copyright on say, the 1st gear
ratio of an H42 transmission, this COLLECTION of information is my intellectual
property as is the what I believe to be unique tabular lay-out of the information.
In any case, you are free to use this information for non-commerical purposes
and distribute PROVIDED: You do not modify it in any way, you distribute it in
complete form (including this disclaimer), and you do not charge any kind of a
fee for its distribution.


2.0 The History of Toyota
=========================
NOTE: This section is responsible for most of the delay in getting this version
of the FAQ out for two reasons. First off, there is some very interesting
research I was hoping to include, but it didn't come together the way I'd hoped.
The other reason is that some of the information is not as well referenced as it
should be (I only have secondary references for the Jeep stuff) If you feel
that I've somehow slighted you by missing a reference, don't worry, I'm working
on them. You can speed things up by dropping me a line. On with the show...


Trucks played a pivotal role in the history of the Toyota Motor Company. In
most cases, the Land Cruiser was the vehicle that carried the Toyota banner
into new markets. However, a complete history of Toyota requires a look at
the man whos company provided the capital and inital production facilities
necessary for the founding of the Toyota Motor Company.

Sakichi Toyoda was born in 1867 in Yamaguchi, Japan. He had dedicated his
life to the invention of an automatic textile loom. In 1907, he formed
Toyoda's Loom works, a company that by 1930 had grown into the Toyoda
Automatic Loom Works (TALW).

Although he shared the inventiveness of his father, Kiichiro Toyoda did not
share the fascination with looms. Instead Kiichiro dreamed of building
automobiles. In March 1930, he began to build a prototype engine in a corner
of the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works factory. By January 29, 1934, Kiichiro had
made enough progress with his engine design that TALW established an
Automobile Department. The first engine, a 3.4l I6 dubbed the Type A was
completed in September 1934. The first complete automobile prototype, the
Model A1 was completed in May 1935.

Due to restrictions on the domestic automobile industry, Kiichiro decided that
would be better to focus on the production of trucks. As a result, the first
prototype Toyota truck, the Model G1 was completed on August 25, 1935.

In July 1936, it was decided that the cars produced by TALW would be marketed
under the name "Toyota." The name was chosen because it sounded better than
Toyoda, the katakana characters used to represent it were more asthetically
pleasing and consisted of eight strokes, a lucky number, and because the
character was similar to the one representing growth. The Toyota Motor Co.,
Ltd. (TMC) was formed on August 28, 1937.

The Koromo Plant was officially opened in November of 1938. This plant would
later become known as the Honsha Plant--the site of LandCruiser Production. The
first vehicle produced at the new factory was the Model BM truck. A version of
the 75hp engine used in this vehicle was to become the first engine in a Land
Cruiser.

In 1941, the Japanese government instructed Toyota to produce a small, easily
manoueverable truck that could be used in the expansion of their Pacific empire.
In response, Toyota delivered prototypes of the 2-ton AK-10 in 1942.
Unfortunately, it proved too cumbersome so production of light transport trucks
was left to Nissan. No examples or photographs of the AK-10 vehicle exist. The
only evidence of the AK-10 is a rough sketch. The truck featured an upright
front grille, flat fenders that angled down and back like the FJ40, and
headlights that mounted above the fenders on either side of the radiator. It
had a folding windshield, and the cowl comes straight down to the floor. The
rear tub does not exist as such, instead, there is more of a stake-sided bed.
The spare tire stands vertically on the inside of the back wall of the bed on
the driver's side. The pumpkins have the familiar offset and look to be
similar in design to the Land Cruiser 9.5" and have a 6 wheel-stud pattern.
Most of the driveline of the truck was from the model BM truck.

The AK-10 arrived 1 year after the initial MA1 General Purpose was delivered
to the U.S. Military by Willys-Overland. The first shipment of MB "Jeeps"
didn't arrive in the Pacific until 1943. As a result, it was highly unlikely
that Toyota had seen a Jeep, never mind copied one. The Land Rover Series I
did not arrive on the scene until 1949 so any influence on the precursor to
the Land Cruiser is impossible.

TMC struggled throughout World War II. It was conscripted into making aircraft
engines and tried to continue producing trucks with what little raw materials
were available. After Japan's surrender in 1945, Toyota was allowed to begin
production of trucks to aid in the rebuilding of Japan. By 1947, production
had begun on the Model BM truck and the Model SB small truck.

In 1950, the U.S. military filed a special procurement order for 1000 4wd
vehicles to be used in the Korean War. Unfortunately, at this time, I am
unfamiliar with what the exact terms of the procurement order were. However,
here are the requirements that led to the Willys-Overland MA1:

1. It must have a load capacity of 600 pounds
2. The wheelbase must be under 75 inches
3. The height must be under 36 inches
4. The engine must run smoothly from three to fifty miles per hour
5. It must have a rectangular shaped body
6. It must have a two speed transfer case with four wheel drive
7. It must have a windshield that folds down
8. It must include three bucket seats
9. It must have blackout and driving lights
10. Gross vehicle weight must be under 1200 pounds (Conley 1981, 20)

Toyota responded with a prototype of the Model BJ on August 1, 1951. Its
characteristics were as follows:

1. Load capacity? Unknown
2. 94" wheelbase
3. Height? Unknown
4. Engine runs smoothly from three to fifty miles per hour
5. Rectangular shaped body
6. Single speed transfer-case
7. Folding windshield
8. 2 bucket seets and rear bench
9. No blackout lights
10. Gross vehicle weight of ~3000lbs.

There is very little correlation, considering the BJ has been accused by some
to be a copy of the Jeep. The specifications are different because a
completely different philosophy was employed in the design of the BJ. The
Willys had been designed to be as light as possible, using an engine with
roots in automobiles. Because of the low torque characteristics of the
engine, a two-speed transfer case with extra gear reduction was used to allow
passage over rough terrain. The BJ, on the other hand, was created using
components from 2 and 4 ton trucks. The torque from the 6-cylinder B-85
engine did not require the extra gear reduction. Instead a 4 speed
transmission with a 5.53:1 first gear was employed to get a little more low-
end grunt.

The vehicle was dubbed the "Toyota Jeep," possibly as a result of the wording
of the U.S. Army's procurement order. Fortunately, the right to the "Jeep"
name was owned by Willys who forced Toyota to choose another name. On June
24, 1954, the name "Land Cruiser" was chosen.

In 1954, the first Land Cruisers were exported to Pakistan.

In 1955, 23 Land Cruisers were exported to Saudi Arabia. The vehicles proved
to be wildly popular and exports grew steadily.

On Feb 21, 1956, the first two Land Cruisers were exported to Venezuela.
These were quickly followed exports to Burma, Malaysia, and Puerto Rico.

Toyota entered the African market by sending Crowns and Land Cruisers to
Ethiopia. Because marketing proved difficult with the large number of
languages spoken in Africa, Toyota was forced to adopt the sales technique of
driving a sample vehicle all over Africa and dealing direct with potential
purchasers.

The U.S.A. was somewhat different in that in 1957, it received two Crowns
before any Land Cruisers. However, the Crowns were found to perform poorly at
the higher speeds of American Interstates. Toyota was forced to halt
passenger car importing in 1960, leaving only the Land Cruiser to bear the
company's name in the United States.

Toyota did not make the same mistake in Australia. The first vehicles sent
there were Land Cruisers. They arrived in July 1959, and were marketed by
Theiss Sales as commercial vehicles.

Toyota began to market the Model DA60 truck, its first powered by a diesel
engine, in March 1957. However, brand loyalty was strong in Japan so Toyota
was forced to establish links to Hino Motors, a diesel truck manufacturer.
Hino would later provide the B and H series diesel engines used in Land
Cruisers.

In May, 1959, Toyota do Brasil began Land Cruiser assembly in Brazil. This
was the first case of knock-down kits being assembled outside Japan. Land
Cruiser assembly started in 1963 in Venezuela, 1970 in Indonesia and Pakistan
(although Pakistanni production was terminated in 1986), and 1977 in Kenya,
and 1982 in Bangladesh.

Toyota's first exports to Europe were to Denmark, in 1964. That was quickly
followed by exports to Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Austria, Greece, and finally, Germany.

It was not until 1964 that Toyota came to Canada. The first vehicles imported
were the Crown, Land Cruiser, and Publica. The Publica proved to be
unsuitable for the Canadian climate and was quickly withdrawn; however, by
1971, largely on the strength of Land Cruiser sales, Toyota had become the
number one import brand in Canada.

Throughout the history of Toyota, it was the Land Cruiser that led the way
into new export markets and proved Toyota toughness.

3.0 Introduction
================
Land Cruisers models are identified by an alphanumeric code. The code
consists of the engine series designation letter(s) and the frame desgination
number separated by a the letter "J." For example a 2 door with short wheel
base and a 2F gasoline engine would be a FJ40. There are also auxilliary
codes that follow the main model code and give further information about the
vehicle. For instance, the code FJ40LV-KCW is the vehicle mentioned above
produced between 01/75 and 07/80 with left hand drive, 4 Speed Transmission,
Hardtop, Rear "ambulance" doors, and no roll bar produced for the European
market. The extra codes are necessary because of the huge number of
variations of each vehicle offered world-wide. There were 2500 versions of
the 60 series alone. All the North American & most Australian Codes are
described later in the FAQ. The only exception to the naming convention is
the 1951 BJ.

4.0 Body Styles
===============
All Land Cruiser bodies (Except the Bundera and the 45 Wagon) are made by
Araco (Formerly Arakawa), a division of Toyota. Araco also manufactures the
interiors for Land Cruisers, Lexuses, and other Toyota cars and trucks.
Toyota manufactures the Bundera/LandCruiser II, and Gifu Body manufactured the
45 Wagon. The remainder of the vehicle (except in some cases the engines) is
manufactured at Toyota's Honsya plant (Factory code A11)

5.0 Engines
===========

5.1 Gas Engines
---------------
Gas Land Cruiser engines are manufactured by Toyota.
The F and 2F engines were also used in Toyota Forklifts.
The F engine is supposed to be based on the Chevy 225 I-6 "Cast Iron Wonder"
and some of the bottom end along with the water pump and several other
components are supposed to be interchangeable.
The main differences between the F and the 2F are the 2F's larger bore,
the F's 2 compression and 2 oil rings versus the 2F's 2 compression and single
oil ring and the fact that the F had two oil paths--through the filter or
through the engine compared to the 2F where all oil had to travel through the
filter before the engine.

5.2 Diesel Engines
------------------
Most of the diesels are made by Hino industries, a sub-contractor for Toyota.
Similar engines were used in Hino heavy trucks which are used in Canada, so
the drivetrain of Hino trucks may be adaptable. Hino engines similar to the B
and 3B are supposed to be used to run the refrigerator units on some
refrigerated semi trailers. Some of the B and 3B diesels are manufactured by
Daihatsu and can be identified by the letter "D" on the timing cover.

Most diesels in Japan and Canada are 24V and therefore meet NATO
military specs. However, Canadian 1985 (85/10) BJ70's and all Canadian
BJ60's are 12V. In Europe, all diesels before 1984 and all diesels larger
than 4 cylinders after 1984 are 24V except for in the 80 series which uses
a 24/12V Series/Parallel switch to allow 24V starting and 12V while running.
Australian diesels are all 12V.

The B, H, and 2H were also used in Toyota Forklifts, Dyna and Coaster buses.

5.3 Other Engine Suppliers

8.0 Transmissions & Transfer Cases
==================================
The H4X transmissions used with the gas engies use a 275mm clutch and have an
output shaft that is 1-1/16" in diameter and has 10 splines. H41
transmissions were never offered on US model Cruisers but may have been
available in some Canadian 45 series pickups. The transmissions for B diesels
use a 1-1/2" longer input shaft with different splines and will not mate to
either an F or H series engine.

When the four speed was introduced in 1974, the transfer case ratio was
raised and new helical cut gears were used that were wider and quieter
than the earlier model. Until 1981, parking brake was mounted on the
driveline after the transfer cases. In 1981, the new split-case
transfer case was introduced. It featured a stronger idler shaft and
the parking brake was moved to become part of the rear drum brakes.

9.0 Axles
=========
Regular Land Cruiser axle housings are similar to a Ford 9" and differential
carriers are similar in construction to a Chevy 12bolt. The front and rear
differential housings are both offset to the right in all models except some
'58-62's which were centred. They have an 9.5" ring gear. The axle shafts
are 33mm in diameter (the same as a some Dana 60's) 1960-67 shafts had
10 coarse splines while 68 and later shafts have 30 fine splines. In
1968, the front axle CV joints changed from ball joints to Birfield.
Full Floating Axles have smaller shafts because the entire weight of the
truck is bourne by the wheel bearings and the shaft itself is not loaded
in flexure.

Light Duty axle housings are the same as those used in Toyota Pickup trucks.
They feature a smaller housing constructed similarly to the heavy duty Land
Cruiser. The ring gear is only 8" but the axle shafts are the same size and
have the same number of splines as the regular Land Cruiser.

All Land Cruisers produced after 1991 use a reverse-cut 8" ring gear in the
front and the 9.5" ring gear in the rear.

60/2 Series axles are 70mm wider than 40 series
70 Series axles are 20mm wider than 40 series

9.1 AXLE CODES
--------------

Axle codes are never located on the axle housings themselves. In trucks
manufacturered after 1976, the axle codes are located on the build plate
which can be found inside the engine compartment. The pinion (and sometimes
the ring gear have the tooth counts (from which the ratio can be calculated)
stamped into them.

11.0 Body Colour Codes
======================

This list is by no means complete. I don't know the start/end date for most of
the colours. When I precede a date by a "<" I'm sure of that date, but believe
the colour was AVAILABLE BEFORE that date. If I put a "-<" before a date, the
colour was PHASED OUT BEFORE that date.

12.0 Decoding your ID plates
============================
I'll describe the various ID plate types with their usual location in brackets.
Keep in mind, I've only seen North American plates so yours may be quite
different. The extra-descriptive plate with the axle/transmission/colour codes
was not used until 1976. If your vehicle was sold in North America, there's a
99-44/100% chance that youre truck's got 4.11 gears and an H42 or J30
transmission anyways.

1984 Production CEASES! :(

Although production of the 40 Series Land Cruiser stopped in 1984, there is
still a _COPY_ in production. It is manufactured in Brazil and is called a
Bandeirante. It features a body/frame which is a copy of a Land Cruiser and
is powered by a Mercedes diesel motor.

16.0 80 Series Specific Info
============================

16.1 Full Time 4WD
------------------
All 80 series Cruisers sold in North America and Europe are full time 4wd. In
Africa and Australia, a part-time system is still available. 80's produced
between '90-'91 have an open center differential which is lockable in 4HI and
automatically locked in 4LO. From '92 on, vehicles with ABS had a viscous
coupling that sent a maximum of 30% torque the non-slipping axle. The
differential is lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO.

16.2 Locking Differentials
--------------------------
Locking differentials were available as options in all 80 series. From 94 on,
they were standard in Canada. The operation of the lockers is very elegant.
When the differential lock dial is turned to the "Locked" position, it switches
on a small electrical servo. The servo pushes on a dog clutch which is meshed
with the splines on the axle shaft. The dog clutch slides along the axle shaft
and engages on the side of the differential carrier. The axle is then
completely locked. They were offered from the procuction date 8/92 onwards.

17.0 Buying/Inspecting a Land Cruiser
=====================================

NOTE: This article is biased towards 40 series Land Cruisers, although it can
be applied any model. Also, parts of this may sound a little like a sermon.
This is because for me Land Cruiser ownership goes beyond possesing a vehicle
and well into the realm of the occult. Are YOU willing to sacrifice you life
for your Land Cruiser?

Furthermore, this article should be required reading for the new Land Cruiser
owner. Running through the pre-buy checklist will help you find potential
problems in your new truck, and see what maintenance needs to be done.

So you want to buy a Land Cruiser. First, some words of warning. If you're looking
at a 40 series, the vehicle will be at least 11 years old. It was built as an
offroad vehicle and as a result has probably taken alot more of a beating than a
car of a similar vintage. It will definitely require more upkeep than a new
vehicle.

With all Land Cruisers, newer is definitely better. Unlike the Jeeps whose
"quality" varied widely from year to year until Chysler "neutered" them all and
Land Rovers where some Series are shunned because their headlights are in the
wrong place, Toyota was continually improving the Land Cruiser. Check the
production timelines earlier in the FAQ to determine which features you can live
without and hence how old you're willing to go. The only exception to this rule
is if you're living under a fascist regime such as Kalifornia where ancient
frames are prized for their smog exempt status.

Usually long before someone decides to sell a Cruiser, they decide that they
should stop pouring money into it. Therefore, shortly after you purchase your
truck you can expect to have to dump a whole lot of money into it to fix little
things the previous owner couldn't be bothered to do. This can be VERY
discouraging. Don't worry. Once you get your truck into a roadworthy state, it
will remain there for quite some time. When I first got my truck, the fuel
gauge didn't work, most of the knobs were missing, the headlights had a nasty
habit of turning off instead of switching to high-beam, none of the interior or
signal lights worked, the u-bolt plates were cracked, the shackle pins were
about to rip out of the shackle plates, the rear tub was basically gone, along
with the bottom 2" of the hard top and rear doors.

Older Land Cruisers (Anything other than a 60 or 80) make lousy daily drivers.
They're loud, they suffer from a relatively harsh ride and vague-on road
handling, and the gas ones get lousy fuel economy. Thanks to brick-like
aerodynamics, side-winds quickly become tail-winds. You don't want to commute
in an FJ40.

Anyways, that said, there are some requirements that I believe a Land Cruiser
owner should meet. They need to have a steady income. I bought my Cruiser
while I was in university and wound up having to take a couple of years off to
work to be able to fix it up. If you're a starving student, you're probably
better off with a mini-truck. Parts are cheaper, and there's a whole lot more
of them so they're more "disposable"

If you've got a significant other, your relationship has to be up to the
stresses imposed by the new arrival. It took a long time for my girlfriend to
adjust to being a "Land Cruiser widow" If a Land Cruiser is brought into a weak
relationship, there's always the chance you won't get to keep the house--then
you'd be without a garage to work in.

Actually, a garage is pretty much required. Lying out in the street is
hazardous and people tend to walk off with tools they find lying on the
sidewalk.

I also firmly believe that you should do EVERYTHING on your Cruiser AT LEAST
ONCE. If you have a professional mechanic attend to all you maintenance, you'll
be out of luck when something goes wrong miles from the nearest gas station

So you've warned anyone that cares about you that you'll never see them again,
and their only contact with you will be standing in the garage yelling at the
underside of your truck. You're mentally prepared to become the caretaker of a
disappearing breed. Time to go shopping.

You should start scanning the local classified ads for a couple of months before
you actually begin to shop in earnest. That way, you can begin to check out the
local price-structure. In certain parts of the U.S. and Eastern Canada, you may
only see one Cruiser a week, if that. Once you learn that the most ancient
truck costs more money than you have, you're ready to start making calls.

When you finally locate a truck, it's time to go for a look. The things you
should watch for can be grouped into several categories.

17.1 Engine
-----------
I'm not a fan of gas truck engines, so I can't offer too much help here. I've
heard that the intake manifold tends to crack if the truck has been overheated.

Start by checking for coolant leaks from the hoses, water pump,
and radiator. Next check for oil leaks from around the pushrod inspection plate
that the blow-by tube comes from, the gasket between the oil pan and the block,
and the vaccum pump if so equipped (diesel)

17.1.1 Diesel Engine
--------------------
When the engine is fired up, watch how quickly the oil pressure builds. If the
idle is high (the engine feels smooth instead of causing the whole truck to
shake) There's probably either a hole in the diaphragm or the vaccum lines that
go to it. Both are relatively cheap and easy to replace provided you buy
Nippondenso and not Toyota parts. You can test a diaphragm by pulling off the
top end of the "clear" vacuum hose that goes to the rearmost nipple on the
injection pump and blowing into it. If you can build pressure, the diaphragm is
still good.

It is normal for a cold diesel to blow a little white smoke at start-up. Black
smoke usually means that the injectors need service, white smoke indicates
under-injection of diesel (probably due to a perforated diaphragm), and blue smoke
shows that oil heavier than diesel is burning (Ohh ohh!) Wh
