All Land Cruiser
bodies (Except the Bundera and the 45 Wagon) are made by Araco (Formerly
Arakawa), a division of Toyota. Araco also manufactures the interiors for
Land Cruisers, Lexuses, and other Toyota cars and trucks. Toyota
manufactures the Bundera, and Gifu Body manufactured the 45 Wagon. The
remainder of the vehicle (except in some cases the engines) is
manufactured at Toyota's Honsya plant (Factory code A11)
