Never dead, Just resting. I found my 77 FJ40 about like that rusting away in a backyard in Illinois. Got it started after changing the fluids and cutting the saplings holding it down and drove it from Illinois to Az that same day without a hitch! Only a LandCruiser! All others try to duplicate it but none quite make it as well! I've had two FJs and loved both. Absolutely wonderful machines way overbuilt unlike anything made today.
Nice res. Love old stuff that works still. Shame the things that are wasted imo. I've wanted a jeep for a long time, and now I've an idea of a good old diesel, and I like good old diesels.
that engine is almost bulletproof! i used to have a bj40. i was forced to run it with no engine oil on more than one occasion due to punctured rubber hoses (watch out for those. get the steel mesh covered ones if you can). still managed to get me home without any hysterics (aside from the higher engine temp). just replace the hose, replace the oil, and she was good to go. didn't even knock or act up. great job on the salvage!
i have a 1984 BJ42. that 3B engine is awesome. they are so strong....and they turbos because they came built with under piston oil sprays (the same block was used from the 13B-T engine which was factory turbo'd. Mine has an AXT turbo kit on it a screams up hills in 5th gear. great car. it was really cool to see this one come to life after so long. i hope you keep it going!
@@Hc-rt6pe in Colombia we have both willys and these most people swap the diesel engines from these toyotas into the willys ,because they have more power and can run on almost anything kerosene ,vegetable oil ,motor oil, transmission fluid you don't even need a battery or alternator to drive since they use no electricity to run
@@Hc-rt6pe We prefer diesel its cheaper and more common in remote areas because it's used in tractors,generators, ferries and semi trucks where gasoline is scarce.
Yup, that's a classic top gear episode! I have another video where I revive a 1985 pickup, it's not as hard core as the landcruiser adventure, but was fun to bring that one back to life too. Those old yotas are tough!
This is such a simple and strong engine. I drove our BJ45 everywhere with that simple engine, even the highest motorable roads in the world! The only thing that does break down on these engines is indeed the electric part that controls the fuel pump. So opening it to start the engine, and shutting it down when you turn the key. There is also a safety feature: If the oil pressure drops (with red light in cabin) it closes the fuel pump as well! And the yellow light under the steering wheel also doubles up to tell you if there is water in the fuel line! Which is somewhere under the driver seat (bolted to the chassis)
I would love to rescue an old car like that and have it as my first car. And a very good idea having the fuel pump connected to the seatbelt, they should have that sort of thing for cars today.

Awsome... i have resurrected a few old ones, it's just one special kick every time!
13 year old oil in that engine... so bad to start it without changing the oil first, but awesome that it started... just should have changed the oil first
That diesel must have been half sludge, but those old simple mechanical injection systems would run on about anything. Plus the Black Sabbath just made the whole deal :)
had one like this with the back end completely under the ground with dirt build up around the doors. dug up the dirt. new battery and it started right up. it was an old 1980's model pajero tho. wish i took a vid of it
thats the effing 3B!!! it doesnt die!!! i have a chevrolet caprice classic station wagon 1977 which runs on, believe it or not, a 1B from a land cruiser! i have NO idea why someone would put that in a chevy but it runs! i start it every 2 3 years just to keep it oiled!
it's oil not gas it's not so refined that gas. remember that crude petrol is several hundred thousand years and burn very well on the flares. there are not so many additive and transformation in the diesel fuel. they basically remove the sulfur ,not much. it's a way more stable in the long time.
Well done fox. You must got a treasure in the swap. Where is the treasure island located ?...I love your video fox...And I love as well the "Resurection" BJ42...Congratulation you got the beautifull treasure...Regards from Indonesia..
@sebastian2357 Old fuel, in fact it's still running on mostly 13, well 14 now, year old fuel. I don't think diesel goes bad like gas. I put in a couple fresh gallons but the tank started leaking, so I never put any more in. Seems to be very fuel efficient as I haven't ran out yet, lol.
Only a Toyota would do this. I got a 1994 Camry with 325K miles and I cant kill only thing I do is change oil and nothing else yet it still runs excellent
I take one they tell me 15 years not working i make jumber for batries and i start the engine its work this car enginge its the strongest engine made in the word after that i take fj manual it not the same of this car oldest better always
toocheaptosmoke Got to love the diesel! I wish my truck had that engine! There is nothing like the diesel to make an FJ sound like the real thing. B-) I used to see those all the time when I lived in Panama.
It is definitely unique, especially in north america. Driving that thing over tree stumps and ditches with 38.5's and manual steering is a real workout, but with all its weight and torque it just rolls over obstructions like a tank!
toocheaptosmoke Yea, just keep the thumbs tucked in and hope for the best. B-) My 1970 has manual steering as well, the first time my wife drove it, she thought the truck had lost its steering. Luckily, she didn't have time to dwell on that thought, as it has manual brakes as well. (Oddly enough, she hasn't driven it since....)
***** Yea, good point, years back we just called them FJ's to distinguish between the FJ and the BJ series land cruisers. My truck is still an "FJ" first, and a 40 second. The brand new trucks have to stop at FJ.........(You forgot the 45 by the way....) ;-)
As a past BJ42 and currently BJ60 owner, this video put a big smile on my face.
Great video.
I *love* the sound of old-school diesel engine.
Great to see you get this old cruiser back and up and going, I'm bring my 1977 FJ40 back to life too on my 40 Channel.

Haha, truth! They are definitely the pinnacle of toyota dependability.
that seat belt idea came in clutch
I love bj40 and fj40 nice truck for ever
welcome back Land cruiser!

This is the best video on RUclips. Thank you for this upload.
Cheers
+Land Cruiser Thanks!!
+Land Cruiser No doubt about it!
+Land Cruiser I agree Great video.
Those 3BTs were fucking beasts. The 4
2s are awesome too. To be honest all the landcruisers are just fucking bulletproof. Love em.
this video is amazing... it just makes me love toyotas even more... i hope to see you post more vids like this!
Nice res. Love old stuff that works still. Shame the things that are wasted imo. I've wanted a jeep for a long time, and now I've an idea of a good old diesel, and I like good old diesels.
Thanks man, hope you find a diesel.
Old Land Cruisers never die, they get only more wicked...
I've always loved these old-school Toyota Land Cruisers.
i have a 92...dang proud of her heritage...awesome!
Had a BJ70 with the 3B for a while.
Slow but indestructible
Great video
Those things are bomb-proof.
Long live the cruiser!

landquaser 1988 2 h pump
It has the wrong grill bezel on it . I am so happy that you pulled it from its grave
you'd be lucky if your jeeps or ford started after that long. Toyota tough
+stdavross666 My thoughts exactly.
My friends willys sits for about 15 years at a time and always starts to do last second off roading

"this things pretty sweet" only a cruiser head would say such a thing, lol awesome vid brother
True testament to how awesome the TOYOTA FJ is. Seriously!!
They are quite the machine!

They are a great engine! After driving for a while that electric solenoid started working again, got to love parts that fix themselves, haha.
I had one of these back in the day..... my only regret is selling it Wish I kept it
All hail the mighty land cruiser
Best thing I’ve seen today!
Glad to hear, thanks!
7:30 - Love that horn...AWESOME!
You pretty smart, but I do love you "pumping" the throttle at first, IT'S A DIESEL, doesn't make a difference! LMAO. And again ;you are smart
If it had skis, he'd be the goto guy for sure.
Thanks for posting this video, it was awesome.
Well done! One more veteran on move!
Ya gotta love the Enthusiasm........He says "This Thing's Pretty Sweet" .......Crank, Crank, Crank.........Ha Ha Ha NICE
I'm Impressed. Have fun with it.
of course it started its a Toyota Land cruiser the best jeep in the world
Gordon Minchin it's not a Jeep it's a LandCruiser !!!
"Best SUV "
There you go i fixed that part for ya
nice big red atc
cant kill a landcruiser!! awesome video.

MrDieselfumes why is that? I know bugger all about engines so I'd be interested to know. Cheers
@@callum698 The oil would've started to get all chunky and bit of metal and dirt wouldn't be good for the engine
After combustion, motor oil becomes acidic and corrosive over time.
That diesel must have been half sludge, but those old simple mechanical injection systems would run on about anything. Plus the Black Sabbath just made the whole deal :)

What a great actitud guys have you see something on almost nothing, great truck no to mention those are very very rare I know you will enjoy it : )
You are a champion. That was a bit emotional
I want to move in next door to you!! You are my kind of neighbor.......
Haha, hopefully you don't mind noise!!
thats how reliable a toyota is, st
Fantastic video

After many failed starts you'll try anything, old carb habits die hard! lol
In Australia these sell for 20k, even junkers can grab good money
No they don't. Can get a good runner for 5k here in Perth..
It is fixed, runs and drives great, lol.
it's oil

Amazing:) I've got a BJ73, it have very similar chassis like BJ40, 3B engine of course. Its a hard beast:)
SEEING IS BELIEVING !
sounds just like my 3b,cant kill em!! try that with a korean in 30 years time
yota would still be warm in the bottom end from being parked there
Good to see another one brought back to life. I just resurrected an FJ40 myself that hasn't seen daylight in 10 years. Was a Chevy V-8, though.
Les BJ = Rolls du 4x4 !....
Only a Toyota would do this. I got a 1994 Camry with 325K miles and I cant kill only thing I do is change oil and nothing else yet it still runs excellent
@raydouble goddamn right it is! it gave me chills!!!
How cool is that!!!
How bout them atc’s!!💯
drive like the DAY it's Made...He says..
that things a beast where in canada do you live im in new brunswick?
Phenomenal. Why would anyone do that to a BJ? :) They're tough to come by here in the States. :(
I noticed a yellow fiero back there
Good eye!
OMG is that really someon's garden?
You start it on old fuel or you get some new? I'dont think that 13 year oil can burn
did you put some diesel in ??? charge up the bateries
Might have put in a couple gallons, but it was mostly old diesel fuel, haha.
I bet it s still going today....
So what happened to the land cruiser?
I take one they tell me 15 years not working i make jumber for batries and i start the engine its work this car enginge its the strongest engine made in the word after that i take fj manual it not the same of this car oldest better always
Hell yea man
opa, aqui no brasil ele se chama toyota bandeirante, e foi fabricado até o ano de 2001.
Can you use an ether based spray to help a diesel kick?
is that a 70's black ford behind it
Seat belt light and buzzer not working in that vehicle...so sad!
yes but you can knock out the timing, so i here, "THEY SAY"
para que vean la calidad de los primeros land cruiser en este caso un Bj 43 disel de motor tres B (3B)
dimond in the ruff bro wow! that yoda will fire right up throw some sea foam and she'll run
Yup, it's a tank!
por eso es que en todo el mundo se dice si que toyota es toyota
She’s mint I wanna buy it Are you in Canada?
Not for sale unfortunately, but it's still a dedicated wheeling rig!
Please tell me you changed the engine oil/filter
Love your video. I have one in Australia , they are the best 4x4. You gotta love em.
Thanks man! You guys have some awesome toyotas down there, wish we could a get a 4 door solid axle diesel hilux here!
ecco perchè amo questa macchina....
Any updates in the old girl? She's a beaut!
I've got a few update vids floating around, but as of last season she's still kicking and wheeling!
@@toocheaptosmoke You legend, don't worry mate that little 3B will keep on chuggin!
@@toocheaptosmoke Good
So, the six million dollar question, is it still running as of 2014?
It was still running and wheeling in the fall of 2013 when I parked it for the winter. :)
