Description
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pick-Up, formerly used by the Danish Fire Department
This Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pick-Up has a special history: it served as a hose truck with the fire department in Denmark before being purchased in Northern Germany in December 2011 (purchase invoice available).
In 2012, the vehicle underwent a body-off restoration. Because part of the cargo bed was missing at the time, a closed cargo bed was fitted. Years later, the missing original cargo bed parts were eventually recovered, after which the cargo bed was fully restored to its original condition between 2023 and 2026.
The cab has never been welded. All exterior body panels have been completely stripped and repainted, with deliberate care taken to ensure that the original spot welds remain visible in all cab sections—clear proof that this is not a patched-up vehicle. The upholstery is virtually original, with the exception of the headliner and the driver's seat. The winch and four-wheel drive function well, the front-axle hub locks operate smoothly, and all parts of the cab and cargo bed are secured with stainless-steel screws.
Work performed in brief:
Cab and add-ons: body-off restoration in 2012; front fenders renewed with original Toyota parts; cab and separate components sprayed with epoxy primer and finished with a two-component topcoat; underside also painted in the body color.
Chassis and axles: chassis cleaned, partially repainted and treated against oxidation (not welded); axles never removed; brake cylinders replaced in 2026; brake shoes replaced a few years ago (approximately 6, 000 km ago); steering system untouched and in good condition; tires replaced with original-size tires on coil-spring rims (approximately 6, 000 km ago).
Engine and gearbox: 2F six-cylinder petrol engine, 4, 230 cc, 131 hp, never opened (not necessary at this low mileage); clutch kit renewed approximately 6, 000 km ago; both crankshaft seals and driveshaft seals renewed in 2026; all fluids changed, including brake and clutch fluid; battery renewed in 2026; exhaust system renewed in stainless steel in 2026.
Load bed: fully restored to its original condition. The upper load-bed section, approximately 20 cm, was found after a long search and professionally restored. The bed was externally sandblasted, sprayed with epoxy primer and finished with a two-component topcoat in 2026.
Features: year of manufacture 1978; 38, 438 km; manual transmission (4-speed); four-wheel drive with winch; three seats; payload 795 kg; recently inspected (MOT); margin scheme.
This vehicle has Dutch registration.
