Interesting find today..

[WPSFan]

Was driving earlier and caught a snorkel out of the corner of my eye, looked in my rear view and saw a lot more. Turned around to check them out(I live outside of D.C, Northern VA, not exactly a place you see 20+ snorkeled Land Cruiser's every day). No clue why these would be here, no for sale signs, no stickers, building they were parked at had no signs(I thought it was maybe a snorkel company), at least 20+. All I know is every one looked mint. Any ideas?

I can't tell for sure in the pics but the windows looked modified. It might have been Alpine Armoring. Alpineco.com

They armor vehicles I assume for diplomats and overseas. I know they are in northern VA.

You're definitely on some kind of government watch list after taking those pictures.

New 70 series in the states! Definitely armored. Definitely something to do with the government. I wonder if they are diesels...

Lol nah, they were next to a public road sitting out for the world to see, they average person probably thinks it's a car lot because of how they're parked.

White like most of our other GOV vehicles. Bet they are headed somewhere with the GOV.............already purchased and waiting to go

Drool.... Looks like the Toyota factory snorkel. Let me say that again: 'Toyota factory snorkel' So not fair.

Something State is up to. According to my BIL, who works logistics, they only use Land Cruisers overseas. My guess is they're here to get kitted out before being shipped out somewhere else.

Looks like they've got led emergency lights in the grill. UN vehicles maybe?

If it’s an unmarked building I would assume some type of Government contract group especially with that many land cruiser w/ snorkels. Magnum Research has a base here in Minnesota, but you wouldn’t know where it is unless you knew the address. No markings on the building or anything just a small sign in the winder that says magnum research and all the glass is tinted you can’t even see in.

It's a conspiracy.

Check out the link to Alpine Armory that was provided. They offer the Hilux too.

i guess if you can get a VIN# on any of them we could find out; seems really unfair that these can be brought in modified and sent out; can't we keep some over here ??? lol I understand some safety requirements etc somebody got them in here??? lets ask around. i do know know if they are diesels most toyota dealerships can't service them right???

The snorkel on the 200 series is UGLY.

The one of the 70-series is gorgeous, and I wish I could find a factory airbox to that I can get a snorkel kit for my BJ74.
