Landcruiser 80 series conversion of full-time Overlanding living. FOR SALE Submarine with Wheels

Sadly, the time has come for us to end our Pan American trip in December and rehome our Landcruiser. We purchased this car in February 2021 and re-modelled it appropriately in preparation for living and travel purposes. This vehicle has been our full-time home for nearly 1.5 years and has taken us exploring many different terrains throughout the United States, Mexico and Central America. Although it breaks our hearts to part with this vehicle, we know the next owners will have as many great adventures as we have.
We built this Landcruiser to suit an outdoor Overlanding and surfing lifestyle. With a full equipt kitchen, rooftop tent, awning and 4x4 capabilities, it's been the ultimate rig to explore hidden coastlines and access all tourist activities and attractions.

This car is in excellent mechanical condition and runs like a beast. There is no rust on the vehicle frame, and the engine is leak-free. We bought this particular vehicle for its reputation as one of the most trusted and reliable Overlanding vehicles. With its solid front axle, the Landcruiser is known for its durability and strength to concur any sand, rocky mountain or river crossing. She's never let us down or left us stranded. An older Toyota engine without complicated computers makes it mechanically friendly across South and Central American countries.
This vehicle would suit a solo traveller, a couple, or friends chasing the same outdoor lifestyle. It can be used for full-time adventure living (like ours), your everyday reliable vehicle and/or recreational trips. We could imagine a US citizen flying to Panama and having an epic adventure driving back home with their new vehicle. Or an international traveller wishing to explore the beauty of Central and South America.
