La Aduana: 1986 Turbo Diesel Land Cruiser RHD

The words Turbo Diesel Land Cruiser are enough to stop many overlanders dead in their tracks. Land Cruisers of any variety are lust-worthy things, but vehicles like this 1986 Toyota imported direct from Japan evoke romantic day dreams of voyages far into the backcountry. Newly repainted and well preserved, this is a cool truck. The 4.0 liter turbo diesel is paired to an automatic transmission with all the options available in 1986. Located in Los Angeles, all one need do is grab the keys and head east. Anywhere east will do.
