Yes this van is sold already for a long time. I am only seeing this now, half a year later :eek: You might be right at some point. But, that would mean somebody else did not have a van to do some travelling in. Because there are not too many vans in this segment. And I always got tired driving...

Well as said, reliability shouldn't be hit to hard with a turbo when you don't change the fuel pump. However, just always install one of those exhaust gas temperature sensors. They are cheap and come with beepers on thresholds. That way you will be ahead of any problems instead of experiencing...

Well it is for sale, so for pics check: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/very-rare-toyota-hiace-4x4-lhd-overland-campervan.234721/ These engines are very reliable without turbo, with turbo quite a bit less. My plan was to turbo it but not change the diesel pump. So you don't get the...

Awesome! We have many great memories of Iran, just realized thats all 10 years ago.

Price bump: Lowered to 14.900 Euro

Nice truck. You write about a 2.5L engine but I think you mean a 2.4 liter which is the 2L engine? With turbo or without? I have a 4x4 Hiace unibody, but with the same drivetrain. I also have 5.125 final gear ratio as well as LSD. Please check if you have an LSD as well, so you don't put in the...

Bump. Lowering price to 69.500 Euro. I can also arrange shipping if needed.

We are selling our 2012 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 campervan (lwb / 170" / L3H2) which is really like new. It is in perfect condition. It is located in the Netherlands. It was a 8 seater passanger van which we converted to a campervan. The conversion is pretty much new, we used it for 2 relatively...

Here the awaited interior pics Interior is quite spacious for such a small van. The interior is made of aluminium tubing and aluminium composite plates (and wood) Above the rear seat is the bed space for the kids Front interior. The front wheel arches are a very important part and they are...

Ah yes it is in the Netherlands :)

Hi all. Our beloved van that took us overland from the Netherlands, through Asia to Japan will be going on sale. It will go on sale on the usual local (European) car websites in the next weeks. But I already put it online here, since it is also interesting to US and Canadian buyers (the car is...

What do these vans go for in North America? We are thinking of selling our van around the end of summer, maybe September. We used it to drive from Amsterdam to Tokyo, and it was great! But it is not used so much anymore. Ours is the 2.4 diesel with 4x4 and low-gearing, modified with bigger...

@Arjan You are right in that there aren't many options that cover offroading. There is Taro to rent from private people, but that seems to be more a US thing, not much to find in Europe I guess. Trains can be expensive, especially if we go with the whole family. But I don't know if you have...

Hi all, I am thinking of selling most of our cars/4x4 vans, probably buy some more modest campervan. And then, when I want to go offroading (my family is not that into it), rent a 4x4 for a week or something. What are good websites to rent these kind of cars? There must be some initiatives...

What kind of parts couldn't you get? Obiously the body and interior parts. But mechanically you might be able to get more than expected, and there is Nipparts or Denso, which is basically the same thing and often also sold by the Toyota dealership. That would not harm reliability or future...

@T-Willy there are lots of cars of this size and capability? From Japan and Europe. G-class, Mitsubishi and so on. And a Defender is much more of a soapbox car than an 80 in terms of comfort, unless you mean the new one.

53980-95J01 But what I understood is that US dealers arent gonna do that. Anyway, you can find it online. There is also a roof line clamp that goes with it, but it is easy to make some alternative yourself. About the ambulances, the last ones had 300hp which is pretty nice, especially for the...

The Toyota Hiace was actually produced with the Lexus V8, an even longer body and high roof and 4wd (permanent). These were the ambulance versions.

It looks like a more complicated but more luxury version of what I have, which is basically a work van. But yeah the 3L should be reliable too, especially with a manual. The snorkel is in fact a Toyota original part, and I just ordered it at the dealership here in Netherlands. Even though it is...

Almost. It has the 2L, so without the turbo. And that makes a big difference. Because the ones without turbo are very reliable. They can do very high mileage.
