I bought one exactly like that (same year) a few years ago and made a camper out of it. https://images.app.goo.gl/7NT3tAKEGcHZk7BK9 Iwan is quite right about the cab. Bit cramped and the seat hardly reclines at all so it's a pretty upright position. I dont think £17.5k plus VAT is a good deal...

Hi. Sorry no, I don't have the tray back for it. The original tray had been replaced with a not very attractive flat bed, which I got rid of. Will let you know about the RTT if it doesn't all sell as a package. Cheers, John

Thanks Moggy, much appreciated

Thanks guys. Yes, we have a blog with lots of photos and text on there - www.nystrom-adventures.com I'd love to keep the car, but we have no imminent use for it and it deserves better than standing around in the UK!

It served me well for 6 months in Africa, and is now in need of new adventures... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331177446211?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Any questions, please get in touch John

Just listed on ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-HZJ75-Troopy-Expedition-Overland-ready-Fully-loaded-/331177446211?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d1bb6cb43 Let me know if you have any questions. John

Hi Scott. Yes, that was me! You didn't take long to clock it. It had literally only been back in the country for about an hour - just rolled out of a container in Tilbury and I was on my way home in it. Alas, I have just posted it on ebay for sale... (I'll put a link on the ebay addicts page).

Hi Bat. Just saw your thread. Glad that you were inspired by mine! I will, reluctantly, have to sell mine when I get back to the UK early next year. It's just about spot on now, so not really a project, but if you're looking for a go anywhere 75 series, I'm sure you won't find better in the UK...

Hi. Just to let you know we are 6,000kms into our trip in Africa, and, apart from a broken suspension shackle, have had no problems. I thought you'd like this picture - we had to rescue a 6 month old Land Rover from Moremi Game Reserve, and tow it 50km back to the main road. It had a broken oil...

Ben, I also found these ones... http://www.roadrunneroffroad.com.au/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-70-Extended-Greasable-anti-Inversion-Shackles---SK348EXT.html Do you recommend the snake racing ones in particular? Not sure if either post to the UK, but will try to find out today

Thanks Ben - genius solution! I like the look of that. I was dubious about the coil springs myself. One probably stupid question about the extended shackels - do you just need one shackle per rear wheel - ie one pair will do both rear wheels? I had at first assumed you replace both leaf mounts...

Hi guys. The truck is now safely sealed in a container on its way to Namibia. But driving it to the docks fully loaded (full water and fuel tanks etc etc) I did notice that the rear end is sagging a fair bit. I'm wondering about a cheap fix to raise it a bit when I get to Namibia. Air bags would...

Thanks for the likes guys. Shayne, nice idea, but no we have funded every penny of it ourselves. The reason we (probably) have to sell it when we get back is that we had to sell both our cars and invest quite a bit in savings to pay for it! The charities we support are micro charities with no...

Hi. The preparation of my HZJ75 for overlanding in Africa is now complete - you can see the thread here...http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/46409-HZJ75-Overland-Build

Well it all took longer than planned, but finally the truck is ready for loading and packing - it heads off to Namibia next week. Here are some pictures now that it's all done. We were pretty happy with the stick on graphics, which, in case you were wondering, shows the name of our blog. The...

Thanks Steve. I just got the truck home today - nearly a week late! The fuel tank turned into a major headache as it had been manufactured to the wrong shape... Not my cost to rectify it, but an extra 5 days delay. But it's home now and I love the results. Photos to come soon... I'm running it...

Hi Steve. I just got back in the UK this morning, so will be getting on with the car again in the next few days. The water tank is already in there, but yes I agree it's probably overkill. Julian Voelcker at Overland Cruisers has the truck at the moment, with the long range fuel tank going in...

Thanks. It's just straight, no turbo. It aint quick, but it gets there! I'll be getting all the overlanding bits fitted in the back in the next couple of weeks, so will upload some pics as it comes together. John

Hi guys. Sorry for the long period of inactivity here. I've been away travelling, but will be back in the UK next week. Just to let you know that the truck is almost finished - snorkel is fitted (and looks good!), an 80w solar panel has been fitted on the roof, and 150L long range tank is being...

Thanks Rosco. Yes, I'm happy with the new 16x8s. I think they look just right, and the BFG KM2s are impressive too.

Thanks. Yes, I got a snorkel with it when I bought it - it came over from Oz with it so is the metal dome type. I just need to get it fitted in the new year. I'll think I'll have to look away when they cut the hole in the wing! Then once the aluminium storage boxes underneath are sorted, it...

A few more pics as promised. Mostly posing on the Yorkshire Moors, but at least they show the KM2s nicely. Before I saw them in the flesh, I was worried they were going to look too thin. But as soon as I saw them at the tyre shop I knew they'd be up to the job. Obviously not as fat as the Cooper...

Right, finally a few less questions and a few more updates - and photos! I picked up the truck on friday from the fabricators in Plymouth, and am very pleased with the results. Here are pics of the build from start to finish... Looking a bit naked with the tray removed.... An aluminium frame...
