what are you able to get MPG wise, I'm assuming this gen is not lockable its just good old land rover abs kind of tracking in 4 low? Not too familiar with this gen trucks. do you have all papers for the rebuilds that were done?
Did you guys go with a group of other cars/people? Seems like some remote areas based on photos... also shady areas in terms of crime. Don't know if I'd be brave enough to go with just two people and 1 car
Or one can just look at same year/generation G wagons :) yes a bit more money but you'll get 100% authentic mercedes front and rear lockers, transmission, motor etc.
the black mystery box in the back looks awful .... also why the heck would anyone do this to a lexus? if you want to overland buy an older land cruiser or a tacoma for half the cost and way better off road performance
