Few vehicles embody Toyota's reputation for durability quite like the HZJ79. Imported from Japan in 2023 and originally serving as a Japanese prefecture fire marshal unit, this right-hand-drive 2001 Land Cruiser has been thoughtfully transformed into an exceptionally well-executed touring rig that balances capability, comfort, and factory-correct aesthetics. Powered by Toyota's legendary 1HZ 4.2L naturally aspirated diesel inline-six and showing approximately 50,000 kilometers (~31,000 miles), this HZJ79 features a premium Summit Expedition tray and canopy setup, ARB protection, dual-battery camping systems, rooftop tent accommodations, and a long list of carefully selected upgrades sourced from Australia and Japan.
  • (Purpose) Built To Last: The 70 Series Land Cruiser remains one of Toyota's longest-running and most respected platforms, earning a global reputation for reliability in some of the world's harshest environments. This HZJ79 began life as a Japanese government-operated fire marshal unit before being imported to Canada, helping explain its remarkably low mileage and preserved condition.
  • Legendary 1HZ Diesel: Under the hood is Toyota's renowned 1HZ 4.2L naturally aspirated inline-six diesel, an engine celebrated for its mechanical simplicity, durability, and ability to accumulate hundreds of thousands of miles with routine maintenance. Oil changes have been performed every 5,000 kilometers using factory filters, fuel filters replaced every 10,000 kilometers, and all fluids were replaced upon arrival in Canada.
  • Expedition Ready: Built with family travel in mind, this Land Cruiser combines proven touring equipment with tasteful modifications that maintain an OEM-plus appearance. Highlights include an Old Man Emu 2-inch suspension lift, JAOS Tribe wheels imported from Japan, Yokohama Geolandar G003 tires, ARB front bumper, Warn 8274 winch, ARB SOLIS lighting, custom rear bumper, Summit Expedition tray and canopy system, integrated water storage, pull-out drawer system, rooftop tent, QuickPitch awning, dual-battery setup, and portable solar charging capability.
  • OEM-Plus Interior: Significant effort was invested in making the cabin both comfortable and functional without sacrificing factory character. Features include an OEM roof conversion with matching headliner, factory-style rear folding bench seat conversion, sound deadening throughout the cab, Sony double-DIN receiver, Pioneer speakers, Manjaro Industries locking center console, Escape Gear seat covers, and an imported Australian soft dash pad.
  • Low-Mile Heritage: Imported with just 6,500 kilometers, this HZJ79 now shows approximately 50,000 kilometers as it continues to serve daily-driver duties. Included with the sale are factory Toyota manuals, service records, original tools, jack, tray sides, and numerous thoughtful details that reflect the owner's commitment to quality and preservation.
The best 70 Series builds are the ones that feel like they could have come directly from Toyota's special projects department. This HZJ79 accomplishes exactly that, blending the legendary reliability of the 1HZ diesel platform with premium touring equipment, extensive OEM-style upgrades, and exceptionally low mileage. Whether you're looking for an overland-ready family adventure vehicle, a long-distance expedition platform, or one of the cleanest HZJ79s available in North America, this Land Cruiser deserves serious consideration.
