Description[]

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a series of four-wheel drive vehicles manufactured by Toyota since 1951. The car initially was designed as a Jeep-like vehicle but later morphed into a full-fledged luxury sport utility vehicle. The J40 Series of the Land Cruiser was the car's third, produced from 1960 to 1984 in Japan and up to 2001 in other countries; it was named various other names in certain South American territories.

The casting depicts an off-road-modified version of the FJ40 and features a roll cage, the roof cut off to reveal it as a left-hand drive model and the rear spare tire is a molded plastic part of the roll cage piece, with the interior piece holding it in place. In posters, this casting was titled "Toyota FJ".

The production of this casting led to legal issues with ICON 4×4, a California-based restoration shop, with the casting allegedly resembling one of ICON's FJ40s and Hot Wheels not soliciting permission from ICON to produce what was regarded by the former as a replica of their FJ40. As a result the casting was likely retired after 2012 in order to prevent any further copyright troubles. A FJ40-style Land Cruiser would only reappear in the lineup some nine years later, in 2021.
