Description
Up for sale is our personal Land Cruiser 78 Troop Carrier, purchased in 2016 with only 6,700 km on the clock. It now has 237,000 km and has been transformed into a fully self-sufficient overlanding rig over several years.

This is not a commercial sale this vehicle has been our family base and production rig across Southern and East Africa. It’s expedition-ready, and every detail has been carefully chosen with reliability, simplicity, and comfort in mind.

The full build was completed in late 2023. This is a turn-key solution with a complete Victron electrical system, custom storage, integrated sleep platform, water, comms, and recovery gear.

This is the ultimate overland platform — built on Toyota’s legendary 1HZ engine, the powerplant that literally drives Africa.
With unmatched reliability and a massive parts and service network across the continent, it’s the motor of choice for true expedition rigs.
