2024 Toyota Landcruiser 1958, 1985 Toyota Landcruiser FJ60, 1998 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini, 1993 Jeep YJ, 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited, 2018 f150
Parked my 1985 Landcruiser Fj60 next to my new Landcruiser 1958 to get an idea of similarities / differences. I felt a lot of fj60 nostalgia in the new cruiser which is one of the reasons I fell in love with it.

Both cruisers are sitting on 35” tires. The fj60 has roughly 3-4 inches of lift while the 1958 is stock.

Very nice! I will be in similar situation soon. I have an 88 FJ62 and I am getting an FE when it arrives soon hopefully. I agree with the nostalgia part as that is also why I decided to buy it as it looks similar to the FJ60 series.

Looks great - what offset for the method 705's?

I have an FJ55 in Kenya and a 2005 FJ here. That FJ is pure Land Cruiser. I have to say I am suspicious of the 1958 soley because it is a computer now and not a tough Land Cruiser with a high low 4w lever. We don't even have a parking break handle which is now electronic. God help us if we lose the 12v battery and the computers power down, I wonder if they dare to sell these in Australia or the UN Agencies all over Africa and Asia
