While the ‘95 FZJ is now an everyday get around town, tow and trail rig, it has seen extensive use in the BAJA mainly chasing race cars.
We also have two VW Syncro Westfalia full campers that are primarily over landing rigs. Our 1990 VW is based in NM and our 1988 VW is based in Netherlands.
Our most notable extended overland trips have had durations of:
11 months (Maritimes of Canada)
15 months (NWT, Yukon, Inuvik, Alaska, Vancouver Is.). We began this trip at Flagstaff Overland Expo where we camped with Overland Bound and became lifetime members.
3 months (Colorado & PNW)
7 months (UK, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Normandy France)
2.5 months (Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain, Pyrenees)
4 months (Germany/Bavaria, Czeck Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovania, Furka-Grimsal and other passes of Switzerland, Licktenstein, Luxumberg, Alsace France, & Dolomites of Italy)

The Toyota has made race car rescues in every Baja and Vegas to Reno race entered including 2010 Baja 1000 and every team car entered finished. The FZJ has never broke down only requiring routine maintenance in 27 years of service. Can’t say that of dubs. Member of TLCA since 2000. Once prez of Colorado Land Cruisers and drove a 1991 FJ80 rockcrawler-camper rig venturing as far as the Rubicon and as high as Blanca Peak twice with many points in between. Cheers folks, look forward to meeting ya’ll.
