Details

This custom Toyota Land Cruiser 'Ute' (Australian for 'utility vehicle'), was born a pickup but has been customized with a flatbed and custom paint. It lived in the Outback in the Northern Territory and still has that original license plate attached on the front. It was built by Paul Duggan of Barbados Enterprises. Mechanically, the truck has a 4.2-liter Toyota diesel engine with an aftermarket turbocharger, new water pump and timing belt kit, a new clutch with a reconditioned 5-speed gearbox and a rear limited-slip differential. Both front and rear axles have been rebuilt with new bearings, hubs and axle seals, along with new brake calipers and 4-wheel disc brake pads. The snorkel is a genuine Toyota part. It features a towbar with a heavy-duty Australian bull bar on the front, along with an LED bar light. To finish it off, this truck has custom mag wheels, as well as an aluminum tray back (flatbed in the U.S.) with fold-down sides and dual viewing lights on the headboard of the tray back with LED taillights fitted. The interior has custom matching seats and door trims with new carpet to match and blue LED courtesy lights under the dash. Additionally, there are white undercarriage lights. The exterior has airbrushing showing the silver and black two-tone colors split with airbrushed barb wire. On the hood is a cowgirl with twin smoking six-shooters. Shown on the side of the cabin behind the upper part of each door is a cow skull with thorns and roses in remarkable artwork that looks three-dimensional. All the artwork on the vehicle was done by Adrian Marchio and the painting by Paul Duggan. This is an Australian vehicle with an Arizona theme.
