The 2023 SEMA Show will also show this crazy off-roader. And the Land Cruiser FJ Bruiser recently introduced by Toyota is far from classic '66 FJ45 pickup, as he once began his existence. Under the hood works a modified version of the 358-cubic-inch NASCAR V8 from Toyota Racing Development (TRD).

Even though Toyota hasn't revealed any exact details about the changes to the FJ, we do know that the engine in full racing condition normally performs well 725 PS. The powerhouse is powered by a Three-speed racing transmission from Rancho Drivetrain Engineering and a MagnaFlow exhaust system added. The heart of the vehicle is completely handcrafted Tubular frame and roll cageto which the body is adapted.

With fixed axes, Currie front and rear axle differentials and an Advanced Adapter Atlas Transfer Case the FJ is ideally equipped for difficult terrain. Every unevenness is eliminated thanks to a complete Swing arm suspension absorbed with Fox shock absorbers and Eibach springs. One of the coolest features of the Bruiser for us, though, is this CAMSO treadmill in the middle. Specifically, Toyota replaced the center skid plate with a tank-like treadmill replaced, which is supposed to save the bruiser if it gets stuck - and all at the push of a button from the inside. The 42 inch (1,07 m) also ensure maximum performance on the road. BF Goodrich Krawler T/A KX tires, which is on 20-inch Method Beadlock wheels are mounted.

The XXL slippers enable the Land Cruiser to reach speeds of up to 265 km/h in top gear at 7.000 rpm. The FJ Bruiser is impressive on the inside Momo Daytona EVO seats, which are reupholstered by Toyota in a checkered pattern as a tribute to the old FJ design. The driver has the pleasure of being one Steering wheel from 1968, a Jackie Stewart championship steering wheel, to hold in your hand. If you want to see the crazy Toyota live, you can find it at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas next to the new Tacoma X-Runner concept.
