INTRODUCTION
This Toyota Landcruiser 100 series is from 2000 and has been fully converted into an Overland Vehicle. The "Beast" took us to the Chinese border (and back) in 2024 without any problems. It's a comfortable vehicle equipped with everything you need for an adventure.
CAR FEATURES
The car has been converted to grey registration, meaning it now has two seats. Where the back seat used to be, there are water tanks and a refrigerator. The spacious cargo bed has a drawer and plenty of room for all your gear. The car includes the following camping equipment:
- petrol stove (see photos)
- Worktop (fold-out) with sink (see photos)
- Pots, pans, cutlery, plates, etc.
- 2 luxury camping chairs
- Table & side tables
- Tools
- Solar panel
- Driving plates
- Jerrycans for extra diesel (in consultation)
- satellite telephone (in consultation)
- Hi-Lift Jack
- Compressor
- Etc.
ROOF TENT & AWNING
A roof rack is mounted on top of the car. This holds a spacious two-person "Koala Creek" roof tent, plus an awning that keeps you dry and/or shaded, and allows you to cook.
CURRENT
The car has two built-in domestic batteries that charge while driving. You can also connect the refrigerator directly to the campsite's power supply if needed. When fully charged, this battery will power the cooler and your other devices for about 2-3 days. The car also has an inverter for 230V power (up to 500W). There are also plenty of USB charging points. If you're staying in one place for an extended period, you can always place the solar panel in the sun.
DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS
The Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series from 2000 is equipped with an automatic transmission that shifts seamlessly. The vehicle is powered by a robust 4.2-liter V6 engine (1HD FTE), renowned for its reliability and power, even under challenging conditions. The Land Cruiser accelerates smoothly and easily handles steep hills, making it ideal for both everyday use and off-road adventures. Despite its size, the vehicle can tow a trailer of up to 3,500 kg. Fuel consumption is approximately 1:8 on the highway and 1:6 in city traffic or mountainous areas.
The car also has a low-gear system, which you should use when driving off-road. This makes the car twice as powerful (with a top speed of about 40 km/h), allowing you to drive up the steepest slopes without any problems. If you choose a Land Cruiser as a campervan, it's definitely recommended to explore nature! This car will take you to the most beautiful places, where you can enjoy peace and quiet (and even camp in the wild).
To support off-road driving, the car has the following accessories:
- TRED PRO riding plates (for when you get stuck in the mud or sand)
- A compressor to inflate your tires (you can deliberately deflate these to get more support and therefore grip, for example on the beach or in the mud)
- A shovel
- An axe
- A winch
- Hi-Lift Jack
