If you’re planning big adventures for next year and require a budget-friendly vehicle for remote backcountry travel then look no further. The 100 Series Land Cruiser is a legendary overland platform and a popular choice on our forum with recent examples including this 1999 100 Series Camper, a 2003 Land Cruiser, and a 2001 Expedition Rig. Earlier this year I spent a few months in the Italian Dolomites in a 100 Series and I was blown away by the performance and capability. Driving my Vanagon Syncro almost always feels underpowered and struggles in challenging mountain environments. Alternatively, the 100-Series took a 67-hairpin mountain pass towing a Vanagon on a trailer without breaking a sweat. I’d jump in a 100-Series and drive it around the world without a second thought. If you’d like a better idea of how this vehicle can be outfitted for travel then check out ARB’s 100 Series Land Cruiser. This rig is not just great on the highway, it is alsoa formidable force when faced with technical terrain as demonstrated by this uprated example tackling the Windrock Black Diamond Trails. Today’s rust-free V8 Land Cruiser has covered 280,000 miles, features premium modifications, and is priced at a bargain $13,500.
From the Seller:
“Ready for anything! 280,000 miles, but I wouldn’t be scared to take it anywhere. All maintenance is up to date with a recent 120-point inspection.”
