1991-1997 Land Cruiser (common problems, specifications, FJ80 FZJ80 engines)

The history of the Land Cruiser dates back to 1950. At that time, the Japanese National Police Reserve forces relied heavily on the US Army for all of their equipment during the post-war establishment period, but it was decided that production should be local. The US Army considered that vehicles in demand in Asia would continue to spread from Japan in the future - so it began to invite Japanese automakers to produce all-wheel drive pickups. The reserve forces of the National Police of Japan wanted a powerful Japanese all-terrain vehicle with all-wheel drive, and they invited Japanese companies to build a suitable vehicle.

Origin of Toyota and Development of Toyota Jeep BJ

Toyota responded to the call by developing the Toyota Jeep BJ. At that time, there were a large number of jeeps on the roads in Japan, and jeeps became synonymous with SUVs. Toyota called the prototype "Toyota Jeep",

What is the engine power in 1991-1997 Land Cruiser

The BJ is a combination of a B-type engine and a Jeep chassis. The Toyota BJ had a 3.4-liter straight-six 75-horsepower engine with plenty of low-end torque, exactly what the JNP Reserve needed to scale any terrain. However, Reserve decided to contract with Mitsubishi Jeep (a licensed production version of North American Willis Jeep) because it had a more track record. Toyota decided to mass produce the Toyota Jeep BJ and began large-scale manufacturing of the BJ in 1953 because it took two years to negotiate specifications and prices after it was decided that Toyota would start production. In 1953, 298 Toyota Jeep BJs rolled off the assembly line. In June 1954, due to trademark rights friction resulting from the use of the Jeep name which was a well-known trademark of Willys-Overland Motors, then Director and Minister of Technology Umhara Banji gave BJ a new name - Land Cruiser. It was a really wise decision, as the name was filled with complete confidence and spirit. The company has capitalized on the durability and go-anywhere capability of its rugged Land Cruiser by using it as the basis of Toyota's export strategy. On October 31, 1957, Toyota Motor Sales, USA, opened at the former Rambler dealership in Hollywood, California. Car sales began in 1958, with only two models, consisting of only one series of Land Cruiser 20 and 287 Toyopt Crown sedan.

Specifications 1991-1997 Land Cruiser from outside

The Land Cruiser 80 series was introduced in the United States in the spring of 1990 as a 1991 model. Compared to the previous 60 series Land Cruiser, the 80 series took a softer direction in terms of design. Gone are the '80s-era squared-off design, fender slits, and the '90s flex shape. The fenders were now defined on the body, massive fender flares hugged the wheel arches, large tires indicated off-road capability, and in early models, the grille gave a nod to earlier Land Cruiser models. The overall look of the Series 80 was polished and balanced with an emphasis on technology and luxury. All US models came with halogen headlights, while some lower-spec models sold overseas had textured beam headlights. The body line running under the profile gave the car a strong and cohesive look, and large glass jets gave the driver and passengers a great view, along with large side-view mirrors. There was a fair amount of ground clearance provided by the factory suspension which helped instill confidence in the car.
