I've wrenched on fj 40s, fj 45s, fj 55's, fj 60s, hj 60s, hj 61s, fj 62's, fzj 80's, lx 450's, hdj 81's etc.

They're extremely expensive over american vintage 4wd iron.

The fuel economy is awful, and some of the vendors are lower-lifeform.

The finest, most useful landcruisers, are the hj 60s.

A 12ht 4 liter inline six turbo diesel, an h55 five speed manual,
and a better, full floating rear axle.

17 mpg from a 12ht. The acoustics of the engine, the feel of the driving experience, the versatity/simplicity/reliability. It's the most authentic cruiser experience out there.

They're imported into Canada from Japan on a regular basis.

You'll want to check kijijii (Canadian craigslist)
