For sale for $8000 plus shipping.

Located outside of Atlanta, GA. You simply can't get a better built truck for this money. I am looking to scale back to my 100 with a mild lift and sliders to take my family camping.

I got this cruiser in mid-2006. It had been to Cambodia and was well outfitted...but I decided to do more...much more.

History of the truck:

Robin bought the truck new from Toyota and decided to build it into an off roader. He called up Christo and outfitted the truck to close to the current state. He has taken it to Moab, around Texas, and most
amazing...he took it to Cambodia for two years!

Robin used the truck as the primary vehicle in working as a volunteer teacher and in the creation of a documentary to be submitted in March of 2007 in the Austin Film Festival with a title of “The Living Fields”. It is the story of the need for education for the children of the 30 year war torn country of Cambodia.
The trip started in 2005 in Penang Malaysia. Robin then drove it the length of Thailand and into Cambodia.

I purchased the truck in 2006, drove it to Atlanta, and have been wheeling it every since. I had a tree hit it a few years back and I had no choice by to chop the top and rebuild it (better of course!). Full custom cage and full custom soft top and side panels.

AC still works, passes emissions, drives at highway speed and has a clean title.

You can see the side panels on the seats. They zip into the top and have zippers in the clear panels to snap yourself in from the inside. They work great! Have been on the highway and no noise or flapping. Even keeps in the AC and heat!

Did you make the top yourself or did you have someone local do it? I need a custom top made for an extended cab pickup truck that has a removable hard top. Thanks.

He had it cutom made at a local boat shop. After ACC built the cage.

Its all very well done. I was at ACC when he dropped the rig off for the cage after tree fell on it and he chopped it. All the sheet metal is finished very nice and the top is pretty cool as well.

Thanks for the info. I'm very familiar with ACC (they did some work on my Tundra).

Cheers.

correct

Yep, I had a local boat canvas man do the top (he also did convertible tops for cars, etc). I would suspect if you looked for similar places and people you would be set.

My guy was in the Acworth area.
