Really Unique Toyota Landcruiser 100-series fully self contained Expedition Vehicle

[mk216v]

Tx lets a lot of cool grey market stuff in. But whether it stays in or not is the key. I have seen a late 2000's nissan patrol diesel, some goofy vw diesel truck, a pajero diesel all with Texas plates. Heck I have even seen a bmw 116d diesel. At the dealership getting repaired.

I think the goofy VW truck you saw was maybe the new Amarok? I remember seeing one for sale in TX, wondering how it got in. Now I know Texas doesn't seem to care.

Whoa, what a rig! Don't see many ala-Tom's Fahrz creations in the USA.



Is that Rena Lee's phone #? She checked out my W460 to make sure all was legit with it; nice lady.
In this link there are pics with the Dutch plates too; http://www.expedition-vehicle-for-sale.com/index_en.html
I'm still perplexed how US Customs goofed and allowed this '100 to get Texas plates.

customs and texas are two different entities.

I saw this driving through Hurley, Wisconsin around 7/4 pulling an off road trailer. What an amazing looking setup!

Probably the most ridiculous badazz expo rig ever!

Customs, and that's been their job for over 200 years.

well whoever it is, they have been known to let vehicles in and then come get them later. I heard something about it recently.

"they" is almost certainly different people and/or organizations.

Just because you speed past one cop on the highway doesn't mean the next cop isn't allowed to pull you over, or that there was some sort of conspiracy to cheat you out of your money.

^ Nope he's right - he's referring to Homeland Security / ICE confiscating a bunch of Land Rovers:

As far as I can tell it is - it was posted in my local 4x4 forum on 7/16 and there was some discussion surrounding it that seemed very legit!
