Restored LHD 1985 BJ74 Land Cruiser 13BT Turbo Diesel

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 5 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.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.
