Toyota will re-release spare parts for the 40-Series Land Cruiser

Toyota will help enthusiasts keep classic Land Cruiser models on the road by re-releasing a number of rare parts that are no longer in production. They'll be sold globally by Gazoo Racing through participating retailers.

Often called FJ40, the 40-Series Land Cruiser built from 1960 to 1984 wasn't the first Toyota off-roader (it had several predecessors) but it's the one that's mostly fondly remembered in 2021. As values rise, genuine parts are getting difficult to come by, and the quality of aftermarket bits varies greatly. So Toyota is stepping in to fill this void.

Choosing which parts to reproduce was easier said than done, according to the Japanese carmaker. It narrowed down the list by asking dealers and fan club representatives around the world to identify the most requested components. While the full catalog hasn't been released yet, Toyota explained it focused on parts related to critical functions like driving, turning and braking. Engines, drivelines and exhaust systems were notably singled out.
