It is die-cut. 【Roots】 The "4Wheel Drive" emblem on the Land Cruiser (Toyota Land Cruiser) has its origins in a very practical and "military roots" background. ① The Origin: Self-assertion of military vehicles. The ancestor of the Land Cruiser was the "Toyota Jeep BJ" (for the National Police Reserve = later the Self-Defense Forces) in 1951. At that time, four-wheel drive was not yet common, and it was difficult to tell whether a vehicle was 2WD or 4WD just by looking at it. Therefore, there was a need to show at a glance that "this is a 4WD vehicle," and the culture of putting 4WD / 4Wheel Drive markings on the body was born. ② Establishment in LAND CRUISER (40 series~) The 40 series Land Cruiser (1960s-80s) is particularly famous. "4 Wheel Drive" attached to the front fender and rear. In this era, it was a practical vehicle for harsh environments such as forestry, mining, agriculture, and overseas exports, so it had a strong meaning as a badge of performance certification, saying, "This is not just a decoration, it's a real four-wheel drive." ③ Why "4WD" instead of "4Wheel Drive"? The reason at the time was that the main purpose was export to English-speaking countries. For military and business use, the formal notation is more trusted than abbreviations. Jeep and Land Rover also use the same notation. Therefore, the straightforward expression "4Wheel Drive" was chosen without abbreviation. ④ More "pride as a tool" than design ⑤ The reason it has become an "icon" today is that what was originally a practical display has become the reputation of "Land Cruiser = unbreakable four-wheel drive" based on its track record in harsh environments around the world. Due to the resurgence of Land Cruiser popularity, the 4Wheel Drive emblem itself has become established as a symbol of "trust, ruggedness, and authenticity."
