I've been seeing a vehicle that looks exactly like a downsized '70s style Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 jeep but instead of having that name embazened on the radiator it says "Delta". Anybody know what it is or where it's from?

Nope. I did see a Chrysler Jeep product that looked somewhat like their Cherokee, but maybe a bit smaller. Don't recall the designation.

Just guessing but "Delta Motors" is a company out of South Africa that remakes several Opel, Isuzu and Suzuki models... I'm not sure if they leave the original nameplates on or slap their own on them... Just a guess..

I saw that about a Delta Motor Co. in Namibia. I then read there is also supposed to be one in the Philipines that built Delta badged Toyota jeeps.

Replying to a year-old post....


I saw the post when I googled for Toyota Delta Cruisers.

Yes, we have a number of them running here in the Philippines, the military uses most of them, but I bought one from a person who fixed a wrecked cruiser.

The Delta Motor Company was a subsidiary of Toyota and manufactured the jeeps during the 1960's - mainly for the army. It has since closed down (here, at least).

The vehicle has... character, to say the least. Very utilitarian, as jeeps are supposed to be. My little yellow junk heap doesn't even have a radio. I put in an aftermarket airconditioner to make the heat here more bearable.

I'm currently in the process of trying to rebuild it, since it has fallen into disrepair. Unfortunately, parts are a b*tch to find since most of the manufactureres who supplied those parts have long closed shop after the war.

I wonder how they made their way to Colombia and where they're from, Africa or the Phillipines.
Good luck on the rebuild.
