Working Landcruisers around the Americas... and stuff

[lostworldexpedition]

I wanted to start a thread with all the random Cruisers we have spotted on our drive south, please post up pics if you have seen any. (if there is another similar thread I will transfer photos there and delete this one, let me know)

The Typical job for Landcruisers around the world is Firefighting and Ambulance so here are a couple we have seen

A nice pig Fire fighter

A sweet couple of ambulances new and semi-old (i would be happy with either)

And my favorite so far a 40 tow truck, we saw a few of these in Panama and Colombia

I think I will just post Landcruisers that catch my eye from now on... hope someone enjoys

Beautiful FJ43 soft top in Medellin

Not sure about the chrome or the front grill, but I like the rest

And a surprise in the front end

It seems like maybe they took an 80 series and did a transplant?

If you really want a 70 series... join the Peace Corps

or if you want something a little more upscale... still the Peace Corps

Here's a 40 series tow rig in Costa Rica getting ready to rescue a new Prado form a river.

We saw this 40 series in Santa Marta Colombia, pretty interesting way to turn it into a bus

and the nicest FJ43 we have seen so far:

So, I was walking down the street in a small town in Colombia, when I spot this 70 series that looks really odd... I walk up to it (as I so often do when I see LandCruisers on the road) and sure enough this is one he'll of a frankencruiser... The photos say it all.

^^^^Whaoa!!!! THat IS an odd-ball for sure eh. I'd be intersted to see the interoir to get a grasp on the purpose for the back door being added on. Maybe a "Bus" or something???

here's my Working Cruisers from Australia:
The Troupy:

and My Ute: Oh how I miss this truck...

Cheers
