It’s hard to beat an unmolested classic, but these well restored trucks with a modern twist just might do the trick
La Aduana: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
While many people loved its retro styling and exaggerated lines, others felt that they created a very impractical platform that was uncharacteristic of the Toyota brand.
La Aduana: 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD
With a Mercedes turbo-diesel V6 and a price tag of just under 16,000 this 2007 Grand Cherokee will keep you and your pocketbook happy.
La Aduana: 1968 Ford Bronco
This 1968 is a wonderful example of a classic car that has been infused with modern equipment. The seller estimates that over $80,000 was spent during the project, and with the lengthy list of modifications, I would believe it.
La Aduana: 1982 Toyota HJ47 Troop Carrier
Everyone loves a diesel Toyota, and when it’s a troop carrier that love just gets stronger
La Aduana: 1986 Toyota Pickup SR-5
With just over 18,000 miles, this SR5 is one of the best preserved examples we’ve have seen.

Camel Trophy Sulawesi
This is one of my favorite Camel Trophy videos. It takes place in 1988 on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi. It also shows a bit of the driver training in England. Great footage.
See the rest of the videos after the jump.
La Aduana: German VW Vanagon Ambulance
Great for any Emergency
La Aduana: Cummins-Powered Land Rover Series IIA 109
via West County Explorers Club: This looks like quite a nice rarity, a fully restored 1971 Land Rover Series IIA 109, that’s been re-powered with an intercooled Cummins 4BT turbo diesel engine. In addition to the roof rack, it’s fitted with a custom bumper, 8,000-lb Warn winch, and dual fuel tanks. From the sound of…
La Aduana: 1959 Chevy NAPCO Suburban
Here’s something you don’t see every day, a 1959 Chevy NAPCO Suburban. NAPCO was the company that made aftermarket 4-wheel-drive systems for GM trucks in the 1950s, before GM made them in-house.
VOTD: Icon FJ44 on Jay Leno’s Garage
La Aduana: 1999 Mercedes G500
I like these early trucks because they were fitted with the classic instrument cluster that Mercedes had used for decades: temperature/fuel to the left, speed in the center and tach. on the right.
La Aduana: 1962 Land Rover Series IIa
From the forums comes refurbished Land Rover Series IIa.
La Aduana: M35A2 “Deuce-and-a-Half”
If you’re looking for a tough-as-nails off-roader, I don’t think you’ll get more bang for your buck than this 6×6 M35A2 “Deuce-and-a-Half” Army truck.
Camel Trophy, The Land Rover Years
via West County Explorers Club: This video details the last ten years of Land Rover’s involvement with the Camel Trophy. It’s 90 minutes of non-stop action beginning in 1989 with Defender 110s in the Amazon to Freelanders driving across Tierra del Feugo in 1998. In all of the other years the Discovery features prominently. You’re probably familiar with a few of these segments. It’s nice to see them all strung together. Enjoy.
VOTD: Jeep, Mighty FC
On the trail as a comparison, they bring along a 1964 Jeep Forward Control crew cab. It’s funny to see the two together. The Mighty FC looks like a bulldog. The old Forward Control looks like a loaf of bread. It’s great to see footage of both of these truck on the road!
