LHD Patrol for you John?

I dont think I will trust "Amazing Auto Imports" thou, what a name

I thought I knew that one but it doesn't list a "new head" so it might be a new one Marty imported. I know the guy. He has had to do a fair amount of work on these rigs to get them up to spec. They are Safaris but made for the Filipino market. You can be sure they have never seen salt roads but can never be sure they have not been flooded or seen much beach work. Marty seems like a pretty good guy. I have bought parts from him in the past. But I am not the guy to spend $15K on a vehicle. If one is patient, you can find a nice RHD for half the price or less.

What?! New 120,000 (has to be a misprint) and selling for 15,000?! For a bbq on wheels? With no tent even. Just cooking stations and fridges (I assume).
So buy a military trailer, even if you buy that one that was advertised for $2000, 2 large fridge/freezers $2000, a couple larger stoves/grills $400-800 depending how nice, add a roof top tent $1200, a foxwing awning, water, pump, batteries inverter, and at worst you're sitting under $10,000 and it's exactly how you want it and can camp in it.

This looks shiny:

I like shiny. Just needs an oil burner transplant.

Nice. Really nice.

 

[Fantom]

A bit high in kilometers but from a distance it seems unusually low in rust, but crappy CL photos can hardly tell the truth.

I actually went and looked at (and rode in) this truck about a year ago.
The photos ARE very deceiving. The roof is rusted right through on one of the rear corners, lots of other scattered rust and the frame has some decent carnage/structural rust in front of one or both of the rear spring perches. Don't waste your time at that price

Never mind, I stand corrected. I guess not all is as it seems. LOL.

Bugger.

Welcome to life, good luck.

Not a cruiser, but a trailer that appears ready for travel

It has an Expedition Portal sticker... Is that like being Trail Rated?

 

[Fantom]

No, the Expo sticker just means you have to wear khakis, a polo shirt and an outback hat at all times while making sure your clothes are always spotless and well pressed

 

[sailor]

Oh. The Tilly Hat crowd...

 

[AJAEbj42]

Don't forget to close your door before shooting a picture, too!

And no laundry hanging, must use the portable tumble-dry that hooks up to your PTO.

 

[Enigma]

I'd be all over this but my kids are too big for one now...

Got to admit, that is a pretty cool toy.

 

[Fantom]

There's a guy tentatively buying it this evening, if that fails I'm picking it up for Marcin's kids. He's already got one but it needs parts for it. Figures, even the toy jeeps keep breaking down.
