This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ70 is a short-wheelbase example that was imported to the United States from Venezuela in 2021 and acquired by me in 2022. In February 2024, it was professionally retrofitted with a 2.8-liter Cummins R2.8 turbodiesel inline-four by Goode’s Off Road in Rowlett, Texas. The truck is finished in silver over brown vinyl and patterned tan cloth and is equipped with the factory H55F five-speed manual transmission, dual-range transfer case, split rear doors, lifted suspension, white-finished 15” wheels, air conditioning, and a Toyota CD stereo. 
 
The Cummins R2.8 installation has transformed the driving experience, delivering strong, smooth diesel power with excellent highway capability while retaining the mechanical character that makes the 70-series so special. 

Under my ownership, significant mechanical work has been completed to ensure reliability and peace of mind: 
  • February 2024: Transmission, differentials, and transfer case serviced
  • July 2024: Clutch replaced
  • August 2024: EGR valve replaced
  • October 2024: ECM and wiring harness replaced
  • March 2025: A/C compressor replaced
  • August 2025: Upgraded radiator fan installed and oil change performed
  • October 2025: Battery replaced
The vehicle likely will need the first gear detent spring replaced at some point. 

The truck consistently draws attention at local car events from enthusiasts and travelers who recognize the 70-series from time spent abroad.  It is the kind of vehicle that sparks conversation everywhere it goes.

The short-wheelbase configuration, Cummins R2.8 turbodiesel powerplant, and overall presentation make this an uncommon example in the U.S. market. It is not the type of truck you are likely to see another of at a stoplight.

I am selling only because I have recently started a new business and would prefer to deploy the capital there rather than keep it tied up in what has been an exceptionally fun and unique vehicle.

The truck is offered with service records and a clean Texas title.
