Give me more (diesel) power

Greatness is about consistency and hard work. This ’82 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is the living proof of it. Legacy Overland completely transformed this BJ40 into a rock-solid machine, ready for any challenge. 

The iconic Land Cruiser has been upgraded with a powerful Toyota 1HD-T 4.2L 6-cylinder turbo diesel. The engine, completely rebuilt and transplanted from an 80-series Land Cruiser, more than doubles the power of the venerable Land Cruiser. The build is made to go anywhere.

To leave no stone unturned, the power steering and disc brakes were added, and it rolls on steel 16x8” wheels with Cooper STT Pro 305x70R16 tires. 

Ride in style

Legacy Overland spared no expense to make it perfect on the inside. The truly unique interior design is comprised of custom-made grey perforated vegan leather. To contrast the imposing upholstery and complete the interior design, the footwells and floors are custom-made in black easy-to-maintain textured vinyl carpeting and covered in sound deadening matting. Comfort and style in one car.  

Creature comforts were also added, including a custom air conditioning system, a Bluetooth-enabled media receiver with four Pioneer speakers, a USB charging port.
