Video of the Week :: Iconic MEGA 6×6 LandCruiser crosses the Mojave Desert

If you are a Toyota Land Cruiser fan, we have a treat for you! In this “Patriot Games” episode, the Australian Montesalvo family set off directly from SEMA in Nevada on an adventure through the Mojave Desert. In convoy for this trip are Justin & Sarah with the Mega6x6 and Patriot Campers X3, Christian & Mia are towing an X1-N behind The Black Track, and Ashton is in his iconic FJ45 LandCruiser, the “FJ49” for its debut trip in the US.

Justin Montesalvo said,

“We wanted to show people what our vehicles and trailers are capable of and inspire them to get out and explore. This was an incredibly challenging environment, but our Land Cruisers and trailers were more than up to the task. That snow was a serious test, especially since we don’t have much chance to experience that back home”.

This video is not only inspiring and beautifully edited, but it also presents the viewer with compelling arguments for both international overland travel and for traveling with a trailer.

This featured video is the first in a two-part series, both of which can be found on the Patriot YouTube channel.
