Cool old Cruiser; but if its the "FJ Company" selling it, best re-mortgage the house. (and I'd still prefer an FJ62)

Ooh, they have a nice one for sale too, if you can stand that color.

Most I find are grey, or this nice metallic blue.

That sounds much better.

Although ugly colors are appropriate for late 70s and the 80s. :lol:

That's a pretty '70s color for 1986. I mean, it may be period correct, may even be kinda cool in a kitschy sort of way,  but damn it really is just ugly.

I always liked the early Toyota FJ series vehicles and the Nissan Patrol. That particular vehicle posted would look most natural in zebra stripes.

To my knowledge they were also license-produced in Brazil as the Toyota Bandeirante and were available with a 78-horsepower 3.4-l 4-cylinder Mercedes-Benz Diesel.

Yep, it was a copy of the BJ series, and earlier ones had the Mercedes diesel. They switched to Toyota motors at some point in the '80s.
