Wonder if we will see an 'overlander' version of the The Ox I guess the attraction would be able to flat pack the vehicle in Vladivostok, Halifax, Cape Town & Rio etc to complete the round the world tour without container'ising it.

Looks like they are trying to make a squished down version of the Earthroamer

Hi Celeo, Welcome to The Club. Not sure if we have other members from Honduras or Central America, but you are bound to find a whole stack of useful info on this site. Post some pictures of your 80, some Honduran scenery and any questions you might have. I was once based on Roatan for a few...

Just go to the Toyota UK facebook page and send them a message with a pic of your speedo and home address details. Not sure if they post overseas. Very prompt.

Link to rally details. They're racing on the Plage Blanch so the exit point is up a river bed. Could be a great place to camp and watch them Mark, curious to know how long would it take to drive their route of 2600km from coast to coast - at a leisurely pace/sightseeing. Worth it or too much...

Someone send up a drone. Not as if the Blue One would be undercover in a garage...?

Maybe treat your Landcruiser to a new Xmas present Handypresso Something about having a caffeine fix whilst stuck in UK traffic, without having to get the Jet Boil out or 3-in-1.

Here is a link to Nat Geo Topo Maps which can be downloaded or printed out as 'flat gps'. More useful for those travelling in the USA.

Hey Lund, I am sorry but I am not understanding what you mean, my english is not the best. What do you mean? I'll see if i can help in my Fawlty Tower Spanish Que tal Servan, Lund estaba preguntando porque tienes on hueco por aire (scoop) encima el tapa del motor? Tienes un intercooler? Que...

Them 40s are also the Volcano Taxis that ply across the ash/dust plains of Mt. Bromo in Eastern Java. Worth to visit just to see these 4x4s in various guises.

Dave, you could always elevate your rightful complaint to Yokohama HQ in Japan, and relay your experience; tyre quality is one thing, customer satisfaction is another. They may view things differently. Alternatively, posting pics on FB with the naughty twig and ripped sidewall is neg...

Hi Silviu, It took me 5 years to find my 80. It was worth the wait. Don't rush into buying any old 4x4 to meet your deadline, esp a Euro10,000/600K'er. Set your budget and model (there is a big difference between a 120 and 80), google around, look on social networks, try www.autoscout24.com...

Red Bull might give you wings, but StarCruiser gives you the 'Side-Hatch 80'

Looks like GB and (other countries) are set to see a new pick-up on the roads in 2017. The V6 Mercedes X Class

I remember a few years back when I was cruising down the A-67 from Santander to the Picos when two motorbike cops drove past me and tried to look through my tinted windows. At the time I was driving my Hilux on Hong Kong registered plates, and had a feeling I would be seeing them again shortly...

A 1994 M reg 4.2 VX diesel with 143K on clock has just come up on Toyota Landcruiser Mart UK, uber clean interior. Says Sheffield/GBP5500. But being a foreigner I wouldn't know where that is in the UK.

I look forward to learning from you all as we prepare our 80 for the short drive to Morocco and the longer drive to Mongolia after that (life choices permitting). thanks for looking in! Rosy Likewise Rosy. If you need any advice on Mongolia, ping me a message. I know the country well after...

Another con|:If you find yourself driving through Mongolia with plasma, expect the local nomads to ooo and aaah and attempt to shorten your winch rope in the middle of the night. Makes for good reins, lead rope stirrups etc.

Rodger, Yes the tub and bits are what came off the original. I'll ask if they are for sale, when next down there. Also, most of the new parts came from megastore4x4 in Setubal/Lisbon http://www.megastore4x4.pt Brilliant. However can you clarify - is the picture of the tub and body parts at...

Just popped down to my local garage in Portugal and found a couple of 40s being restored. No idea where they were found, but no expense has been spared. Seems that rust on the main bodywork was not possible to fix, so owners have used fiberglass molds. Have attached some pics, cos I know you...

Hi Stuart, Welcome to the club. I have a 97 24v manual, and its soon to go into a garage heaven for a major engine inspection. There is nothing wrong with it all..and I mean nothing! I just want it to last another 25 years and I have some big overland trips coming up. Can you ping me a...

That is some extensive list you have created. About the only thing we can get here in the UK is the cup holder (though doesn't come with pen or torch slots) but has passed the 'European Norm' safety standards. We know the 80s are big inside so snap away the interior; then we can steal your...

Hi Natalia, Last time I ventured out with the Offfroad Masters Club in Siberia, was when a bunch of Landcruisers and a Unimog went 'Taiga' bashing. Think we drank over 50 liters of vodka.

Small suggestion...try and include the Kvarken Archipelago in Finland. Well worth a visit esp if you are carrying your home-made canoe. Safe Travels.

On my recent 2000 mile round trip to Barcelona (Mway & offroad), I managed 23.5mpg. Semi-loaded/60 MPH.

Pick up a map at the main entrance to Bardenas on the NA8712 and head for El Rallon on the mountain bikes. Last section a little steep, but great 360 views. May get lucky with Euro-fighters doing laser bombing runs.

Just spent an exciting few days in Sierra de Cazorla, driving gravel tracks, wild camping and hiking up mountains. Those heading to the SE of Spain should think about driving in and doing the north/south route over the top. Highly recommended. 1. Main map of the area, which shows a 478 km...

Vehicle security was my biggest concern when I drove my Hilux across Asia, especially through China and Russia. So 'Pacsafe' and myself came up with an idea to cover the open back with an exomesh stainless steel net. Nothing got stolen, but plenty of hands went through to see what was...

as we are still on the subject of badging..i photo'd this RR in Kuala Lumpur. :shifty:

Maybe leave this link to Track N Go lying around so your wife can see it and think buying a set would be a great idea and make exploring safer. It may wash.

Who is to say it wasn't a LR owner seeking revenge to tarnish the global iconic image of the Landcruiser? No doubt the article is being thrown around the LR forums... Imagine the fallout from us if the 4x4 in question was a Disco...:violin:

Have you heard of this or know of any feedback on this anti-theft product? Its a little pricey, but has some statistical proof...before one loses all he caps.. http://www.ravelco.com/
