Location: Durban, South Africa
Price: €78,000 (R1,600,000 ZAR)
Availability: Ready to go – available immediately
Known Issues: None. Fully serviced and mechanically A1
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. It has been our family base and production rig across Southern and East Africa. Every choice was made with reliability, simplicity, and comfort in mind.
The full build was completed in late 2023. This is a turn-key expedition solution: complete Victron electrical system, custom storage, integrated sleep platform, water, comms, and recovery gear.
Built on Toyota’s legendary 1HZ engine – the powerplant that literally drives Africa. With unmatched reliability and a massive service network, it’s the motor of choice for true expedition rigs.
