1991 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER HDJ81 MANUAL
This 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser is a Japanese-market HDJ81 model powered by a turbodiesel 4.2-liter inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, a factory installed winch, and locking front center and rear differentials. This truck also has the very rare part time 4WD system that allows the driver to manually engage or disengage the 4WD by twisting the hub on the front axles. This improves gas mileage and handling when 4WD is not necessary.
The truck is finished in Blue Slate Metallic over a striped gray cloth interior, and features include a sunroof, running boards, 16″ alloy wheels, a split-folding rear bench, an altimeter and compass, air conditioning, and a factory cassette stereo. The truck was purchased by the selling dealer at an auction in Japan in October of 2021, and it was imported to the United States the following month. Service included changing the oil as well as replacing the air filter, shocks, and tires. Now showing 117,501 kilometers (73,011 miles), this JDM FJ80 is offered in Miami with copies of its export certificate, Japanese documents, importation paperwork, and a clean Florida title.
The truck was delivered new in Blue Slate Metallic (also called Medium Gray, code 183) and features body-matching fender flares, gray-finished bumpers, running boards, and a sunroof with a tinted wind guard. Paint-meter readings are provided in the photo gallery below.
Aftermarket JDM wheels were mounted with Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires in January 2021. The selling dealer states that additional work at that time included installing replacement Toyota shocks front and rear.
The right-hand-drive interior features bolstered front bucket seats and a split-folding rear bench trimmed in gray cloth with lighter gray striped inserts. A compass and an altimeter are integrated into the area above the rearview mirror, and other amenities include heated and manually adjustable front seats with powered lumbar control, automatic climate control with air conditioning, a digital clock, and a Toyota-branded stereo with a cassette player.
A three-spoke non-airbag steering wheel frames instrumentation that includes a 180-km/h speedometer, a Turbo-branded 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges.
The turbodiesel 4.2-liter 1HD-T inline-six featured an 18.6:1 compression ratio and an output of 164 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque when new. Service in January 2021 included changing the oil and replacing the air filter.
Power is transferred to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck features locking front, center, and rear differentials.
