One of my favorite search tags on craigslist is “FJ40” or “BJ40”. I have always been a fan of the land cruisers and have always been lurking the used market; not that I plan on buying one soon but just an idea on their value. An interesting fact about these FJ is that in Brazil, they were called the Toyota Bandeirantes; they were built till 2001 with very similar looks and feature from the original J40.  Even though these old classic trucks are called to be clones of the landrover or the Jeep, it has it’s own character compared to the others. If i were given the chance to choose to own a Mercedes Benz G wagon, or a fully restored FJ40, I’d take the the Toyota in a heart beat.
