All Land Cruiser bodies before the 1990s (Except the Bundera and the 45 Wagon) were made by Arakawa Auto Body, a division of Toyota. In the early 90s, Arakawa Auto Body became Araco. Araco also manufactures the interiors for Land Cruisers, Lexuses, and other Toyota cars and trucks. Toyota manufactures the Bundera/LandCruiser II/Prado body, 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)
