Toyota Land Cruiser Solid Sun Visor — FJ40 · FJ45 · HJ47 | 1967–1984

 

The FJ40 and FJ45 Land Cruisers are among the most sought-after restoration projects in the classic 4WD world — and for good reason.

Built through an era when Toyota prioritised mechanical simplicity and go-anywhere capability over creature comforts, these vehicles have aged remarkably well. Interior parts, however, are a different story.

Sun visors in particular take a beating from decades of UV exposure, and sourcing a correct solid-style replacement has historically meant scouring wrecking yards or paying a premium for NOS stock.

This solid sun visor fills that gap. Produced to the same rigid profile as the original Toyota fitment, it works across the full production run of the FJ40 (1967–1984), FJ45 pickup and wagon variants,

and the diesel HJ47 series introduced in the late 1970s. The HJ47 is often overlooked in parts listings despite sharing the same interior architecture as the petrol FJ series — this visor fits all three without adaptation.

 

If you’re cross-referencing against Toyota part numbers or working from a workshop manual, this is the solid single-piece visor — not the padded or hinged design used on later 55 and 60 series models.

Getting that distinction right matters when you’re building to spec.

 

There are very few interior components that define the spartan character of an FJ40 cabin more than the sun visor. Simple, rigid, unpadded — exactly how Toyota intended it.

This solid sun visor is the correct replacement for Land Cruiser FJ40, FJ45, and HJ47 models built between 1967 and 1984, maintaining the factory profile that kept drivers shaded across deserts, outback tracks, and mountain passes for decades.

Finding period-correct interior trim for this generation of Land Cruiser is one of the genuine challenges of any FJ restoration. Most reproduction parts either miss the mounting geometry, use incorrect materials, or are listed too broadly across incompatible series.

This visor is specific to the FJ40/45/HJ47 body shell and mounts without cutting, shimming, or improvisation.

 

Vehicle fitment:

• Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 — 1967 to 1984
• Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 (Pickup & Wagon) — 1967 to 1984
• Toyota Land Cruiser HJ47 — 1979 to 1984

A note on the HJ47: The diesel HJ47 is frequently omitted from parts listings despite sharing identical interior mounting points with the FJ petrol series. This visor fits the HJ47 correctly — no adaptation required.

Sold individually. Suits driver and passenger side.

 

 

Walk into any serious 4WD wrecking yard and you’ll notice the same thing — FJ40 interiors get stripped fast. Seats go first, then gauges, then the small trim pieces that everyone realises they need halfway through a restoration and can no longer find. The solid sun visor sits in that second category: easy to overlook until it’s missing, difficult to source once you’re actually looking.

Toyota produced the FJ40 series across an extraordinary seventeen-year run from 1967 to 1984, with the FJ45 pickup and wagon variants sharing the same fundamental cabin architecture throughout. The HJ47, Toyota’s diesel answer to the FJ40, joined the lineup in the late 1970s and carried the same interior layout through to the end of production. What this means practically is that a single correct-spec visor covers a huge spread of vehicles — but only if the part is actually built to that specification.

The solid visor design used across this generation is distinct from the padded and folding styles that appeared in the larger 55 Series and later 60 Series Land Cruisers. It’s a deliberately simple piece: a rigid shell, correct mounting boss positions, nothing more. That simplicity is exactly why a poor reproduction stands out immediately in an otherwise well-restored cabin.

For FJ40 owners building to original specification — whether for club judging, personal satisfaction, or simply because incorrect parts bother them — sourcing the solid visor rather than a generic substitute is a detail that separates a thorough restoration from a cosmetic one. It’s also the kind of part that, once fitted correctly, you never have to think about again.

 

 

FAQ Entries:

Does this visor fit both the FJ40 and FJ45? Yes. The FJ40 and FJ45 share the same interior mounting architecture across the full 1967–1984 production run. This visor fits both body styles — hardtop, softtop, and wagon — without modification.

Will it fit my HJ47? Yes. The HJ47 diesel series uses the same interior mounting points as the FJ petrol models. This is one of the few parts correctly listed for the HJ47 alongside the FJ series.

Is this the solid or padded style? This is the solid single-piece visor — the correct original style for FJ40-generation interiors. The padded folding design was introduced on later Land Cruiser series and is not correct for FJ40, FJ45, or HJ47 builds.

Is it sold as a pair or individually? Sold individually. Order two if you need driver and passenger side.

What year did Toyota change the sun visor design? The solid visor style was used throughout the FJ40/45/HJ47 production run up to 1984. When Toyota introduced the 70 Series in 1984, interior specifications changed. If your vehicle is a 1984 model, confirm your series before ordering.
