Sometimes America just SUCKS!!!!! (landcruiser boys should like this)

I'm on a fishing vacation with my family up here in Alaska.

I spotted these Landcruisers in Anchorage.I think they're from down under, but not entirely sure.

Enjoy!

I think the NL on the plates is Netherlands. That's one heck of a drive!

 

[fullsizeyota]

I've seen those here in St George!

 

[Rot Box]

Where is that much needed "drool" smiley?! Nice Cruisers :greg:

Those are 70 Series diesels, not too uncommon to run into them touring the states. I've seen them in Moab, Kodachrome, Pony Express, etc. Very neat setups and often very unique too. They often start as cab/chassis models from Toyota and aftermarket camper companies build the living quarters, much like Chinooks and such. Most likely a 1HZ inline 6 diesel and 5 speed manual trans under the hood

!!$%%Boing!!!@@ I'd love one of those...

 

[Paul R]

So cool! I have always loved the 70 series!

 

[Tacoma]

You should see all the cool stuff here

I realized today that a lot of the Toyota trucks here, with the short, short beds and the wheelwells in teh rear doors, are using old 80's minitruck beds. I thought that was pretty neat.

I also like the split ambulance doors on the 100series here, and the 2-door 70 wagons.

I realized today that a lot of the Toyota trucks here, with the short, short beds and the wheelwells in teh rear doors, are using old 80's minitruck beds. I thought that was pretty neat.

Most of Toyota's trucks continue to have the tie down hook along the bed; even the current hiluxs can have them.

It's a look that the US market must've not liked, cause it went bye bye quite some time ago..

I like it

 

[Tacoma]

Yeah, all of them here have the clasp-style tailgates too.

I am talking about them having actual beds from like, 1980 trucks. Same panels, updated tailights but the same shape, etc.

I am trying to get a picture of the cool 4-door mini-bed Tacomas there, they have different front ends, kind of like the late90's style but squarer, and they're lifted, from teh factory. They look AWESOME.

I've told my wife if I could have a clean four door Hilux the same body style as my 79 or a Toyota Trekker I would never complain about anything ever again

 

[SAMI]

Greg might know a guy with a Trekker for possible sale..

Heck Yea! Alaska Rocks! My rents are up there for the summer. Have fun fishing! Are you going to get some deep sea kayaking in?

 

[TRNDRVR]

Heck Yea! Alaska Rocks!

Absolutely! That's why I keep coming back. Having 2 places to stay up here also helps.

Have fun fishing!

Fishing is done. Two halibut trips, 2 Kenai trips. Limited on Halibut and only got 2 kings.

Are you going to get some deep sea kayaking in?

No kayaking. I'm too fat and old.

 

[Lka1988]

I :heart: the 70. It's the last true utility-driven Land Cruiser that's still being produced.

 

[Tacoma]

I found out today that the Cruisers here are fortified. this pleases me a great deal.

 

[bobmed]

Is that like fortified wine like Thunderbird?

 

[Tacoma]

and then some! The one I looked at was also full of gun-filled drawers in the back.
