I tried to collect information about cruiser production based on the frame data (toyodiy.com).
The assumption is that we have 12 families inside of J4 Cruiser group. (FJ40/BJ40/BJ41/BJ42/BJ43/FJ43/BJ44/BJ45/FJ45/HJ45/BJ46/HJ47).
For each family we need to find the first / the last frame number for each year of the production. The difference is the production for the calendar year. In addition, we need to identify the pauses in the production / change in the format / extra frame numbers for different markets. Sometimes the data base has huge frame numbers in some months of production – so we need to skip these unreliable frames.
Condensed information is in the table
The Frame number we can extract from the plate under the hood
I wonder, how far is this from the real production numbers
