This Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ45 is a left-hand-drive troop carrier that was imported to the US from Romania in October 2020 and then refurbished before it was acquired by its current owner on BaT in November 2021. Powered by a 3.4-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, the truck is equipped with a dual-range transfer case, a 24-volt electrical system, a Warn winch, Old Man Emu suspension components, manually locking front hubs, and rear jump seats. Work during current ownership included replacing the wheels and tires as well as repainting the front bumper, mirror covers, and rear bumperettes. This BJ45 is offered on dealer consignment in Colorado with a clean Texas title in the owner’s name.
