In many regards, Australia is the four-wheel drive capital of the world. There, you’ll find some of the best trucks, trailers, and off-road gear in existence, including some of the coolest conversions on planet earth. Some of our favorites are the Ute upgrades performed on 80, 100, and 200 Series Land Cruisers. They’re actually surprisingly common in Oz, and it seems that they caught on in at least a small way here in the States. This 1995 80 Series Land Cruiser was lovingly converted to an Australian-style Ute, and has only been driven 3,000 miles since then. It has no modifications to the frame, and overall, it looks very well done. The vehicle has 204,000 miles, and the head gaskets were redone at 150,000, so it’s ready for your next adventure.
We can’t help but feel that this truck would be a perfect candidate for a Four-Wheel Campers flat-bed, or a more Australian traditional Norweld tray. Check out the full list of modifications from the owner below.
