This 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 Diesel is a classic off-roader that blends vintage styling with purposeful upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Freeborn Red, this two-door Land Cruiser was imported from Costa Rica and retains its original go-anywhere attitude. Power comes from a 3.4L inline-four 3B diesel engine, known for its durability, mechanical simplicity, and low-end torque—ideal for trail work and overland travel. It’s paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a manual transfer case, delivering a fully mechanical, driver-focused experience on and off the road.

Inside, the cabin features Gray leather front bucket seats that comfortably accommodate two, while the rear includes black leather, parallel-facing jump seats that seat two passengers on each side—bringing total seating capacity to six. The interior is simple and functional, with just the right amount of comfort for extended excursions.

The suspension has been refreshed with new shocks and a new steering stabilizer, while braking performance has been significantly upgraded with new disc brakes at all four corners, including brand-new calipers. A fresh set of tires with under 5,000 miles of use ensures confident performance in any setting.

With its classic styling, legendary 3B diesel power, and thoughtful mechanical upgrades, this BJ42 is a standout example of Toyota’s iconic Land Cruiser heritage—ready for adventure, or simply to be admired for the dependable workhorse it is.
