1987 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara

[ant]

Here are a few shots of my Cruiser.
Rather than shots taken at home, I have put up a few of the Cruiser in the Cape.

Rundown on the setup.
1987 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara
Factory Turbo Diesel Motor (12HT)
Heavy Duty Suspension (leaf and shocks)
Poly Air bags under the rear
Rhino Rack Side Boat Loader
Bull Bar
TJM Snorkel
LightForce Spotlights
UHF Radio

Currently over 480k on the clock and still going strong.

Trailer is a custom off-road box trailer.

Thats about it.
Aiming on getting Diff Locks, new Bull Bar, Britax X-Ray lights, and a heap of other stuff that you 'just have to buy'.

And a few more shots.

Hey Ant, thers's that hippy looking fella again in the 3rd last pic. :o

[ant]

Yeah Geoff,
I hear that he turns up quite a lot on the Cape. Funny to see him there without a fishing rod or beer in his hand though!!

And here's that pic of you using the polycraft's custom control panel in the Cruiser's cabin.

Man, that was an amazing day. Even if it was a nightmare trying to cast a lure whilst hanging upside down!

At least we didn't have to load the bastard back on the roof though. :)

Batesy,
There is no amount of water that will stop me mate. When it is too deep for the snorkel, I simply go into 'upside down' mode and the rest is history.
Note to floatation the PolyCraft has - even with the weight of the cruiser there is still ample free board.

Careful. I reckon there's a few patrol owners that would suggest that's because the toyota is a light-weight.

Just who's side are you on there Batesy? No giving the opposition ideas.

Yes, we saw the power of the 12HT pulling the trailer into Pennefather during the recent Cape trip........ or Maybe not.......hehehehehe.......Good clip but hard to compare with one highly modified running 35in tyres and the other slightly modified running 33in tyres but still good to watch......

[dave]

No i was thinking Teabag" the nissan did well :rolleyes: after the mess the cruiser made ..i was just showing what a well set up hj61 with diff locks lift kit 35in rubber boost increase and big pipe is capable of...dam he gives it a hard time .."lol" i dont think you would see ant doing that to his hahahaha!

Hi Ant,
You nearly had me fooled, 'till I had another look at the tyres.
Glad you all had a ball,
Cheers,
