Well, I know most of you are really just here to check my ride.
So here are all the details:
-1988 Land Cruiser TroopCarrier
-Immortal 2H engine
-Australian Poptop Conversion
-Born in Japan, grew up in Sydney and currently resides in Cape Town
-Factory dual tanks
-Factory slowness.
-Right hand drive.
-Average 20 mpg, regardless of speed and wind direction.
-Rear dual spare tire bumper
-2 water tanks under the frame.
-stove in the rear door
-dual batteries
-super duper cold a/c. Nice.
But before you get all excited and go spend your next 2 years dreaming of the perfect truck, I would like you to point you for a second to my friend Mark and Suna’s website:
They drove a 1988 Lincoln Town Car limousine from California to Timbuktu.
Seriously. Not joking.
From San Francisco to New York then on a boat to London and then down to Mali.
Any car will do.
Which is better for safari, the rover or limo?
