This classic Toyota Land Cruiser is a rarity in the United States. The Troop Carrier is a model widely used in various countries for hauling Troops, often seen as ambulances in Central and South America. However, the use of ours is far from that. The Land Cruiser is the perfect off road 4x4 capable rig that can take on water crossings and tough remote dirt roads to epic camping adventures.
Removing the roof of the vehicle and adding a pop-top for camping and overlanding opened the space up immensely. The interior resembles a layout you often find in vans or buses and was fully custom. The interior features a propane stove, sink, a Dometic fridge. The downstairs living area can be staged as a couch or slide the couch out and use it as a day bed. For sleeping arrangement, just pull down the platform from above and there is a comfortable just-a-tad-smaller than a queen size bed with a 180 degree view.
Everything on this vehicle functions properly and is in reliable mechanical condition. It is not a fast rig by any means, we often joke that it drives like a tractor. However, this is a tractor that will break many necks when you are out in the bush. It will not do donuts or burnouts by any means, but that is not what this vehicle is intended for. There are no leaks, the engine fires right up, idles smoothly and has that wonderful Diesel sound.
For staging set we also offer rentals for props such as camp stoves, chairs, tables, backpacks, coolers, sup paddle boards, surfboards and so on. We also have two adventure dogs that are trained for shoots and can also provide food styling and camp cooking, see in photos.
Minimum time on-set is 3 hours. The time for your reservation must also include the time driving back and forth from the car's location in Long Beach. As part of the service I will be on-site with the truck.
