Disclaimer

Well, here goes. I've decided to bite the bullet and try to set up the framework of a Land Cruiser FAQ. I do not claim to be a Land Cruiser expert all I am attempting to do is collect the knowledge that the experts on the list have posted over time into one source. I welcome any suggestions, corrections, or additions to this FAQ. I also welcome "articles" about various projects (disc conversions/tranny swaps etc.) Your name will appear alongside your article. The information in this FAQ is to be used AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for any death/dismemberment/grief/increase of libido that any errors or misinformation cause you! Also please note: There are NO spelling mistakes in this document. Anything that looks wrong to you is actually just a Canadian spelling . One final note: This document is in essentially public domain. (I can't realy copyright that which I lifted from others) All I ask is that you do not use it for commercial purposes and if you do use it (in a WWW page/newsletter etc.) you do _NOT_ modify it and my e-mail address along with the above contributors names remain attached to it so that anyone who reads it can inform me of corrections or additions that should be made. (And get their name added to the contributors list!)

Introduction

Land Cruisers models are identified by an alphanumeric code. The code consists of the engine series designation letter(s) and the frame desgination number separated by a the letter "J." For example a 2 door with short wheel base and a 2F gasoline engine would be a FJ40. There are also auxilliary codes that follow the main model code and give further information about the vehicle. For instance, the code FJ40LV-KCW is the vehicle mentioned above produced between 01/75 and 07/80 with left hand drive, 4 Speed Transmission, Hardtop, Rear "ambulance" doors, and no roll bar produced for the European market. The extra codes are necessary because of the huge number of variations of each vehicle offered world-wide. There were 2500 versions of the 60 series alone. All the North American & most Australian Codes are described later in the FAQ. The only exception to the naming convention is the 1951 BJ.
