For sale is my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser camper conversion with 5.3 Vortec and 4L60E transmission. This rig has been such a proven vehicle for me, it's been to Baja a few years ago and I've taken two longer trips this year in it, once to the Mojave Road in California and more recently to Moab, Utah. Please check out the description below and let me know if you have any questions. Built and located in Stevensville, Montana by myself. Would potentially entertain a PARTIAL trade for another 80 or 100 series cruiser. More information on my IG page @rigoverland.
