this was posted in a local vw group  but  i dont think so 1. The background doesn't look like LK 2. such a modification if done in SL would look shoddy.

Please tell me this is photoshop.. How could someone do this to a LC79..

This is more hideous than that guy opened a 4 yr old thread.

At least they stayed true to the Toyota brand, unlike the VW Beetle above which has been crossed with Hyundai, Toyota and God-knows-what-other-brands parts.

Looks like they have done a serious "cross" though. The wheelbase of the LC looks really long. Maybe chassis extensions. I wonder if it's road legal. Has licence plates, so must be.

Notice the reflection, it does not look like a photoshop job.

The have also moved the wheel arches forward and the way they have merged the wider commuter body is pretty neat

So this is a Land Cruiser that was extended and HiAce body put on the back ?

Would be interesting to find out why ? Might have been simpler to just buy a Hiace..extend that and upgrade the drive-train to a proper old fashioned part-time 4WD system.

My guess is its used as a motorhome/camper. You find a lot of them in Aus and  it might just be cheaper to create this monstrosity than to to buy an actual motorhome/camper.

@Davy isn't that an NT registration?

NT has some rocky and dusty terrain, which might not be accessible in a run-on-the-mill camper. So that might also be a reason for this creativity.

Edit: Here's one more example of aussie creativity:

I dont think that's an easy job, My KDH206(AWD) looks far different underneath around the front of the van compared to a KDH201(RWD). Also only Japan got the KDH206/KDH205 version, all the other markets got different variants of RWD models and Japan imports are bit pricey in Australia.

Looks like a Queensland plate to me.

After a bit of Googling on local websites, I found the following. The conversion is done by a company. It's called the LANDACE.  It's a camper van, so @Crosswind is right.

The marked price for this is $90,000 all inclusive. A proper motorhome in Aus will cost about $150,000 so this conversion appears to be far cheaper.

Hopefully there are no Sri Lankans of Bangladeshis doing this business over there. If so, you will probably find two accident-writeoffs  welded together and being sold for very cheap.

but it says the the vehicle is empty with a HiAce van shell, so would not that mean that the 90,000 is just for the converted vehicle but not the interior fitment ? So the fitment you want would depend on how deep one's pockets are and how crazy the ideas are...

Good point. I wonder what attracts aussies to choose this over a purpose built motor home
