I found this beast sitting outside while I was shopping. I talked to the owner of it, and he says it's a Land Cruiser, imported from Africa, they guy was from Scandanavia. He has it SET UP and I mean set up for overlanding. He's got a stove in the back, a little pump sink, It looks like the top pops up. And It's a diesel 5speed with dual lockers he says came from the factory. It's got a nice Warn winch, flourescent lighting in the rear inside. It is left hand drive just like regular. I've seen quite a few LC's, but none like this one

stormin94

He said he bought it new, also.

He imported it from Africa. It even had one of those funky 3 foot long license plates.

very cool, that would be one to hang on to. There is an article about a LC meeting down in Australia in a recent issue of 4WD Toyota owner magazone that had several of these with the pop up tent.

I have never seen a LC like that before. Would be perfect for expeditions and what not.

I was wrong, the article in the March/April issue (p 24-28) of 4wd Toyota Owner was about a Land Cruiser Get together in Germany, not Australia. It has all kind of cool LC's to drool over.

It is a 70 Series Landcruiser: http://www.brian894x4.com/LC70mainpage.html

Check out this link: Innovation Campers click on the 'Toyota Ausbua" hyper link of left side of page (main page has a National Geographic type NSFW picture on it.) for more info on the camper conversion. I can't read German but there are some cool pictures of similar trucks.




Full FLoater would be awesome but I wonder why they went with 5 bolt hubs instead of the usual Toyota 6...I still think stormin was a luck SOB to get to check one out in person

It would be cool for camping but, other than that it looks like an army ambulance.....yuk!

Only thing I can see wrong with it, is that it looks pretty top heavy. I couldn't figure out what those ramps are for in the first pic.

Nope, I didn't get his number in casehe sells it. I mentioned to him that particular Land Cruiser is worth quite a bit over here in the States. He says he has no plans of ever selling it. He probably won't have to buy another vehicle ever, since that thing will get him where he needs to go for as long as he's alive.

ramps help if your stuck in sand.. and help protect the window at the trail today i seen a jdm land cruiser with factoery p.t.o winch and right hand drive!!!

stormin94

You didn't take any pictures of it, did you?

Ok, so ramps make sense then. I was thinking they were for like crossing big cracks, like on rocks or something.
