Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 (1978) – The Ultimate Superturbo Offroad Weapon

Are you looking for a bulletproof, professionally built offroad rig that you can actually drive legally on the street? Look no further. This 1978 Toyota BJ40 has been completely stripped down, rebuilt from the ground up, and heavily upgraded with the best components available.

This is not a clean museum trailer-queen. This is a serious, hardcore offroad machine built for tough terrain, meaning it has some scratches and battle scars from offroad use—exactly as it should. However, underneath the skin, every single part has been meticulously gone through.

Key Highlights:

• 100% Street Legal & Registered: Rebuilt in Finland where modifications are strictly inspected. Every single modification (engine, axles, suspension, tires) is fully approved and stamped in the official EU registration documents.

• 1978 Model Year: No emissions testing needed during inspections (easy to register across Europe!).

Engine & Drivetrain:

• Engine: Legenday Mercedes-Benz OM606 Turbo Diesel, completely swapped and tuned.

• Turbo & Performance: Holset HX35 Billet turbocharger. Dyno-proven 350 HP and 600 Nm at 2.5 bar boost (Dyno sheets included!).

• Gearbox: Robust 6-speed manual transmission from a Mercedes W210 (Väyrynen).

• Transfer Case: Heavy-duty Toyota HJ60 transfer case.

• Axles: Ultra-tough Toyota HJ61 axles.

• Upgraded Internals: Longfield chromoly super-strength CV joints and upgraded, heavy-duty axle shafts.

Offroad & Suspension Gear:

• Lockers: Front and rear air lockers operated by a heavy-duty 24V onboard air compressor system (can also be used for airing up tires on the trail).

• Suspension: body 70mm lift. Suspension with upgraded, heavy-duty leaf springs.

• Tires: Currently sitting on 35″ mud tires, but the registration papers legally allow up to 37″ tires!

• Winch: High-performance Runva winch (barely used, plenty of pulling power).

• Safety & Interior: Full custom roll cage, racing bucket seats.

The Build Quality:

The entire vehicle was completely disassembled. Every single component—including the frame/chassis and the body cabin—was completely stripped of rust, treated, and painted.

This is an absolute beast of a truck that is ready to tackle the hardest trails.
