@Onur (beno) knows this truck well
*note that the steering wheel is only upside down in the pictures because the wheels are turned. the wheel is uber straight*
1985 LHD BJ74 Toyota Land Cruiser – Turbo Diesel 13BT
This Land Cruiser is epic and needs nothing. It has gone under a full restoration approximately 5 years and just gone under another big upgrade approximately 4 months ago.
The frame off restoration included transitioning it from a RHD (BJ74s were only made as a RHD Japanese vehicle) to a LHD. This is probably the only LHD BJ74 in the states (possibly). During the restoration every part was refurbished, rebuilt, or if it was in very good condition it was left with the original parts, i.e. the front and rear seats and some of the hard to find parts.
You will not find a better BJ74 out there and I wouldn’t be afraid to drive this truck across country. Starts immediately and have tons of power. Will cruiser the highway at 75mph with zero issues with the 5-speed manual transmission.
There is a comprehensive build thread on Ih8mud - BJ74 Restoration and LHD Conversion has begun!
Along with this build after I bought the truck I did the following rebuilds/upgrades – most within the last year – Ive got receipts for all the work recently done.
Put a full float rear axle in
More information about the truck. Has a 13BT Turbo Diesel that is producing around 15 lbs of boost, ARB front bumper, 12v inverter that runs the radio and light harness for pulling a trailer, 2.5” lift, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, A/C, adjustable steering wheel, block heater, the entire truck was dynomatted, push button 4WD, entire frame coated with POR15. 1000’s of hours invested and well over $65K spent to get this incredible truck perfectly built.
$35,700K OBO - would consider trades of some sort
