Overland Classifieds :: 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser

“Land Cruiser” is basically code for “just works.” This 2001 model has covered a mere 234,000 miles, which is forecourt mileage for these engines. Moreover, this well-maintained example has been modified for overlanding, including a hard-shell rooftop tent, custom-built drawer storage system, leisure battery, dual swing-away, and more. At $16,000, this Land Cruiser is fairly priced considering the value of the uprated parts and accessories alone; it would make an excellent budget-friendly overland rig or a dependable everyday vehicle.

From the Seller:

“I have receipts for everything I’ve done to it plus receipts from the previous owner. [It has a] Dissent Off-Road rear bumper with a dual swing-out, and a second hitch on one of the swing-outs for a bike rack. Custom-built drawers for camp organization can be easily removed to put seats back in. Built by a local cabinet builder using 3/4-inch Baltic birch.”
