1981 Toyota G45-S Land Cruiser SUV
The best classic Toyota Land Cruiser restorations come from Miami, Florida's The FJ Company, where a team of dedicated craftsmen brings these classic SUVs back to life with a respect for the platform. The project pictured here started with a 1981 G45 right-hand-drive model and is equipped with The FJ Company's Signature line of upgrades. This includes an FJCO Signature bumper with flush-mount Baja Designs fog lights, FJCO Signature mirrors, a louvered hood, and 16-inch EvoCorse DAKAR wheels that add a touch of modern to the timeless lines. Inside is a completely new interior that keeps the ruggedness of the original while using RECARO Specialist front seats and FJCO's Signature knobs, switches, shifter, and pedals, along with an Alpine stereo with smartphone connectivity. King suspension gives this G45 an updated ride, and under the hood is a new supercharged Toyota V6 making 318 horsepower. The best of the best, this Land Cruiser is a modern driver that stays true to the original.
