This 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 combines the simplicity and durability of Toyota’s 3B diesel with a particularly desirable Canadian-market configuration. Factory-equipped with left-hand drive, power steering, and the rare 5-speed manual transmission, this BJ42 has also benefited from substantial mechanical and body work while retaining the straightforward character that makes the 40 Series so appealing.

Showing 388,500 original kilometers, this Land Cruiser is offered at $54,300.00 CDN (approx. $40,000 USD). The body has been restored with a new aluminum tub, side steps, and fenders, while the frame was professionally refinished in black and the body painted Brick Red. It is currently configured for open-air driving, with the factory hard top and hard doors included, stripped, and ready for finishing. A substantial collection of new weatherstripping, hardware, trim, and other components is also included to complete the hard-top setup.

More importantly, the original 3B diesel engine was fully rebuilt approximately 5,000 kilometers ago by a factory-trained Toyota technician at Jim Pattison Toyota on the North Shore. The rebuild included new sleeves, pistons, bearings, injectors, and related components, with receipts included.
  • Rebuilt 3B Diesel: Toyota’s naturally aspirated 3B diesel is one of the defining features of the BJ42, and the engine in this example has already received significant attention. Its comprehensive rebuild was completed approximately 5,000 kilometers ago and included new sleeves, pistons, bearings, injectors, and additional components. The seller reports that it now runs strong and clean.
  • Factory 5-Speed: Unlike many 40 Series Land Cruisers equipped with 4-speed gearboxes, this Canadian-market BJ42 features the desirable factory 5-speed manual transmission. It is paired with Toyota’s part-time four-wheel-drive system, freewheeling locking front hubs, and factory power steering.
  • Aluminum Body: A new aluminum tub, side steps, and fenders address one of the biggest concerns associated with vintage Land Cruisers: corrosion. The frame and body were professionally refinished, with the chassis painted black and the body finished in Brick Red. The seller reports both remain in excellent condition.
  • Updated Suspension: A new Old Man Emu 2.5 in. suspension lift gives the BJ42 additional clearance without dramatically changing its classic proportions. New black steel wheels are wrapped in 31×10.50 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires for a traditional, functional 40 Series look.
  • Hard Top Included: The Land Cruiser is currently being enjoyed as an open-air truck, but its factory hard top and hard doors are included. They have been stripped and are ready to be refinished, and the sale includes a substantial collection of new parts needed to complete the conversion, including weatherstripping, gaskets, hardware, door handles, and a new headliner.
The appeal here goes beyond the unmistakable shape of a short-wheelbase 40 Series. This BJ42 brings together several attributes that are difficult to find in one truck: Canadian-market left-hand drive, the 3B diesel, factory 5-speed manual transmission, power steering, an aluminum replacement body, and a recently rebuilt engine.

It also leaves some room for its next owner to decide what kind of Land Cruiser they want. Keep it open for fair-weather driving, or refinish the included hard top and doors for a more traditional factory-style configuration. With much of the expensive mechanical and body work already addressed, the remaining work is largely about finishing the truck to suit its next owner.
