Actually it is not so much vin indicitave, and the 80 series is either the FJ-80 1991-1994 or the FZJ-80 1995-1997 Not FJZ. So that would make half of the popular 80 series FZJ's (due to the fuel injected 1FZ-FE engine) therefore it is engine associated.
That was actually a Land Cruiser, not a "FJ Cruiser" there was no "FJ Cruiser" back then (and if there was that was NOT what went on Mt. Fuji) lol I believe the only "FJ Cruiser" is the one we are currently owning, the others were dubbed FJ-60 FJ-40's which were Land Cruisers, I could be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure no one called them FJ Cruisers at the time. . Besides, that is a very cheap thing to claim if you ask me. That's located in Japan, I would be more impressed if the Land Cruiser conquered some places in the U.S. that no other vehicle has conquered. So that the lots of Jeepers would gladly attempt to take it on. And also, they didn't really CLIMB the mountain..they got the the 6th station, but I don't think they ever made it to the top. History quotes "When the Land Cruiser (then named "Model BJ") was first tested in August 1951, it climbed to the sixth station of Mt. Fuji -- the first motor vehicle to perform this feat. The first orders for the vehicle were from police and forestry departments because of its off-road abilities" but as I said, I think that's kinda unfair, I mean did a bunch of Jeepers go there back then and attempt to do it? After all, that is located in Japan, where as the Jeeps are in the USA...I just wish there was a better what's the word...accomplishment? One that you can actually throw in a Jeepers face, I've said it before and all they say is "Well dur, Toyota is in Japan! Jeep is in the US" And it was actually 1951 when the Land Cruiser attempted to conquer Mt. Fuji, and I've never heard of the reason the that the roofs are white is because of the snow on top of Mt Fuji...I don't know if that's totally true or not.
First vehicle in history to be first and second place in the Dakkar Rally 1996, oh did I fail to mention it was in the UNMODIFIED production class? I would guess that would suffice as something a jeep could enter. The reason the roofs are white is due to their use in the desert/sahara (same with land rovers) and the white roof reflects the sun, ergo keeping the interior cooler....
