Over the years Toyota has changed the engines used in the FJ40 series. The B series motor is a 4 cylinder diesel, and the H series a 6 cylinder diesel. For example, the F and 2F engines share many of the same parts. However the H and 2H engines have almost nothing in common. There are individual models within the engine series, for example, there is an F125 engine, and an F155 engine, all in the F series with different power ratings. While not legal, most FJ40 series vehicles could have their roof and doors removed. With a folding windshield this allowed for complete open-air experience.
