Owner's Manual - FJ55
The FJ55 was introduced on 8/1/1967 with its own Owner's Manual. There are two versions of the FJ55 manual, one for 1968 and one for 1969-71. Like other Toyota manuals at that time, the original manuals were printed in Japan. Starting in 1972, the dedicated FJ55 manual was discontinued and FJ40/FJ55 information was combined in a single Owner's Manual. More images

1968 - No. 97205
The original version of the FJ55 manual can be identified by the absence of an apostrophe in "Owners Manual". The cover color can vary between light green and light blue. Manuals printed in Japan have the red "4" on the cover.
In this version "on modeles FJ55 series" is included in the wiring diagram title.
The 1968 manual has the TEQ pinwheel logo on the back cover.
1968 - No. 97295-2
The -2 designation suggests some changes from the original. The specific differences are not known. No change to front cover.
Updated manual number on the back. The "1" inside the circle may be a market designation. Numeric market designations appear on some pre-1973 manuals. 1973 and later manuals use alpha characters, A(merica), E(nglish), S(panish) are common.
1969-71 - No. 96161
Although the manual is not dated, it is the same manual number as the following reprint, which includes the date range. This version can be distinguished from the prior manual by the apostrophe in "Owner's Manual", which is missing from the earlier version.
In this version "FJ55" is not specified in the wiring diagram title. This diagram includes side marker lights and side turn signal lights that were not on the earlier diagram.
Early versions (69) of the 96161 manual have the TEQ pinwheel logo on the back. This later version (70-71) has the basic TEQ logo instead.
1969-71 - No. 96161 Reprint
This is the 96161 manual reprint. Reprinted in the US. Reprints have a black "4" on the cover. The cover identifies the year range and model. The reprinted manual includes the fold out wiring diagram.
1972 - No. 96622 combined FJ40 and FJ55
Starting in 1972, the separate FJ55 manual was dropped and FJ55 and FJ40 were covered in one manual. This reprint manual covers both FJ40 and FJ55, although it is not obvious from the cover.
The back cover includes images of an FJ55 and FJ40.
