After an amazing 8 month trip around Australia I am selling my 1997 Toyota LandCruiser Prado GLX (3.4 V6 Petrol) for Backpackers or OZ campers If you really want to see all of Australia including WA and NT (which are in my humble opinion the best parts).

These cars are built to go anywhere(beach, sand, rocks, rivers…) -1st generation backpacker car: Only one previous australian owner and I built everything in it (mechanical engineer). -Only 207 000km which is not much for a prado This one has a couple more laps around Australia in it! -Registration NSW until 10 march 2015 (5 months left) extendable via phone/internet because no RWC is needed for the next 6 months -Double Tank : Main tank (90L) + Sub tank (69L) ==> 1200 km autonomy (choose the cheapest petrol station in the outback ! and noJerry cans) -Upgraded suspension (dont worry about corrugations), with adjustable airbags in the back (Keep a comfortable ride no matter how heavy you load it) -Heavy duty clutch -Diff breathers (no need to worry about water getting into your diff-oil when crossing water. -limited slip diff -cruise control -New steering rack 8 months old -New Bosch heavy duty battery 5 months old -Washable airfilter (no need to buy new ones after doing dusty outback roads, just give it a rince) -No fines!
