I'm finishing our trip from Los Angeles to Ushuaia in our Landcruiser. We would like to sell the car in Argentina, but we are willing to negotiate that depending on which country suits you the best. We're planning on ending the trip around March/April 2018, so that's approximately when the car will be for sale. Before we entered Mexico we put the car to a test, and I am impressed with the durability. Nothing has broken on us!
The car has gone 240.000 miles by now (Guatemala) and we still have thousands of miles left. But the car is getting a full engine check in Panama, and if you're interested I'll give you all the paperwork on that. We don't want the car to break down, so we're doing a big deal out of maintaining it properly. I'm a general engineer, and I'm working on the car doing tests and whatmore four out of seven days of the week. Car passed California smog test in 2017.

Price: 6500USD

It's a classic Toyota Landcruiser, 1988, FJ62 built into an overlander. What comes with it:
- Big roofrack
- All the tools you need for a long distance trip
- Big spare tire installed under the car
- Four big compartments for storage that can be taken apart in order to fit people on the passenger seats
- Bed on top of storage system (good for stealth camping)
- Top of the line new shocks
- A splitcharging system with a VSR relay that automatically charges the car while driving without draining the cars battery. More batteries can be added with no problem whatsoever, but right now there's added 70amphour capacity.
- An electrical installation that allows you to use the cars fans during the night to get air circulation inside the car. Everything installed neatly in a plastic box between the front seats.
- Added leaf for rear leafsprings (due to extra overlanding weight)
- Thorough engine check
- Dents and scratches are being sanded down, given zinkspray and painted
- icecold A/C
- Electrical windows

What we are going to do more to the car:
- Tint the windows so they are as black as possible (for stealth camping)
- Install noise dampeners on front leaf springs (maybe add a new extra leaf to front leaf springs too)
- Maybe install solar panels
- Test the ignition timing
- A/C check in Panama city


Extra info:
- The car has a salvaged title due to the dent in the left rear corner

Hello Fred & Taylor,

how much (high?) ist the average gasoline (benzin) consumption of your car (in l/100km or miles per gallon) by which quality (octans)?
And whats the weight of the car incl. your things in?

Greetings from Europe
Ferdi

Hello Ferdi!

Our average benzin consumption is approximately 20l/100km
And that's normal quality benzin. It's a pretty average consumption for a car like this from that year. And the car will take you anywhere. We've had the number down to approximately 16 when the roads are flat. I don't know what our weight is right now. I would assume it's about 200kg more than the cars standard Weight.

Greetings from Lake Atitlan, Guatemala :-)

Hello Fred,

thank you, well, the cosumption is normal and 200 kg more is "nothing". Lake Atitlan is nice, i visited the region in 1988, this area wasn't nice in that decade, too much innocent victims - and now, still?

Greetings from (nearly peaceful) Europe.

Well from all the places we've seen sofar, this is the most touristed. Not that it's overcrowded but there's a lot more "white gringos" than what we've seen in Mexico!

Yes the consumption is ok. It has a 90l tank so it still goes approx more than 300miles per tank. Also I'm going the engine through pretty thoroughly at the moment. All the factory service manuals are incredibly well described. In Panama City I'm taking it to a pro, to do an engine and A/C check

Thank you, times are changing. 30 years ago there were only very few "white gringos" because of the horriblest war I ever saw in my lifetime:

I'm interested in your car, please give me a wink when you arrive in Cartagena.

Cheers

Auch it sounds like a nasty one. But yes times have definetly changed I can tell from reading this.

At the moment I'm looking into buying a rooftop tent and maybe an awning.
But as we're well into our trip and I already have a fixed price for the car, I wouldn't get full value for my money. But... If you're interested, we could split the costs of it, and thereby you'll take over a 100% ready for the road car. I'll buy good gear and mount it properly of course.

Sorry, I need neither a rooftent nor an awning ;-)

Cheers
Ferdi

Too bad
