Twin turbo. How much power is that 1FZ making? He still has an AFM... I always wondered what a fully-built 2JZ-GTE would be like in a Land Cruiser.

Taken from one of the pages ..
Vehicle
In March 2004 we bought our transport means for Africa travel. White Toyota Landcruiser HZJ 80 Africa edition. construction year 1992, 260,000 km driven.
Initially the car has been used by the UN, in the former Yugoslavia. Afterwards a number of the car years service as a service car has done at 4x4Parts in Culemborg. And now we are the gelukkige owner.
There are a lot (onder)delen to the car which is examined, discussed and where we with other people have discussed. Our Landcruiser will transport us about 40,000 kilometres, with the roof tent serve as our maisonnette and our property will will accommodate. Already rapidly appears that there are roughly two camps with consultants. The one where you after result well almost new car have, which has been prepared to the most extreme situations and the other which understand also and have experienced that you cannot prevent all breakdown. Moreover is possible it there nevertheless also and other one in Africa himself is repaired if necessary. Therefore our conclusion is, which the car must be technical well and the institution this way functional and comfortably possible and further sees we it, however. Or we eventually the correct choice has made to replace certain (onder)delen yes or no or to adapt, we just might come during our travel.
We are very glad with all tips and recommendations which we have got concerning the car and the institution of it. Van Aad from also advanced, of Rupert from Australia, peter and Nicoline from North district, of Camiel from Amsterdam, and during 4WD the training in Oss.
This it has then become:
The fuel tank
At purchase of the car the car had 2 refuels, where together 155 litres diesel go in. We go from that to this sufficient fuel reserve there offer on our travel.
Reduction
On the front 2 extra large head lamps have been put, the their service must prove during driving in dark. Even if it is the intention this way little possible in obscurity drive.
Links
Our links are well and can km still a lot drive. That can continue do them thus, to them and then replace we they have worn out in Africa. Moreover we have two reserve wheels with links. In our garage travelling box we take along 4 reserve binnenbanden.
Capacity for the frigidaire and other one equipment which must be loaded.
To this end we have two gel accu`s with ingenious zelfdenkend stroomverdeel and load system.
chair covers
We it luck during our test travel/holiday Woick have been possible go in Stuttgart. This is a matter with many overlanders equipment and here buys we beautiful white chair covers with the idea that that underway easily can be washed.
Flies and "Grassamen" for the radiator we have here also bought gauze.
Planning of the car
This component we have together discussed much. Much must but and the car has a restricted space. Initially we wanted arrange the car this way that we could sleep there also in at for example badly. This idea we have let be eventually varen for nevertheless more flexible with the institution.
Fortunately Aarnout are a lot skilful and make in the car opbergsysteem with castes and lay in a coffin. This has been made of plywood wood and blank has been vervolgens stained.
The frigidaire planes behind is based on in the middle state. And behind each chair a water jerrytank stands (2x 30 litres).
Furthermore goes along
Reserve components, such as.....
Small tool
Binnenbanden
Potkrik
air compressor
Aluminium sand plates
Luifel
2 are based on
2 stools
1 table
Car radio and speakers
GPS
country cards of all countries
empire eel
For departure the car x technical whole still 1 is followed and the required components is repaired

First of all it looks like the guy is blasting 'down' a creek  . Next I'm not sure he's going the right speed to create a good bow wave to stay behind ..

You guys are sharp.
Slap me silly. I couldn't resist. Forgive me.
(Besides, I like my 80 pics better and this is an 80 thread. That "Step" was a real pain last time. Harder than anything I did in Moab.)

We had a lot of rain last Winter. Snow in the mountains causes this area (Chiva Falls) to flood. I had two amazing trips there last winter. I haven't added these to my webiste yet but here's a shot from that trip. Basically we went from the Chiva Falls Trail up Tanque Verde Creek to the Pools. We were in the creek for several minutes total. There were 5 or 6 times I was in this deep and was in this deep for up to a minute at a time:
