The best overland platforms are first and foremost a tool that facilitates experience. Cue the Toyota Land Cruiser, a pinnacle overland vehicle and considered the world over as the 4WD by which all others are measured. The 80 Series is seen by many as one of the very best as it carried forward many of its predecessor’s bulletproof credentials while introducing heightened comfort and refinement (as discussed by Matt Scott in Why The Land Cruiser 80 Series Is The Next Classic 4WD). Today’s 1995 (100,000 miles on rebuilt engine) Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 takes this legendary vehicle even further with a beautiful camper interior and a Campteq conversion. If you’re looking for a 4WD to travel the world, look no further. This rig is posted at $45,000, and the seller includes a full $60,000 price breakdown of the build cost in the original listing linked below.
From the Seller:
“This rust-free FZJ80 has had almost everything touched throughout the vehicle. It has over $40,000 in parts and accessories alone. It was built for extensive overland trips and global travel and it comes with everything needed to do so. This vehicle is ready to drive across the country or do the Pan-American Highway right now. Mechanically this vehicle runs and drives amazing despite its age or mileage. I’m willing to figure out shipping and or delivery for the right offer.”
