Kicking it off this week, we’ve got something you don’t see too often. An old Suzuki Samurai, flipped into a bakkie. Spotted by Damian Adams at the Jimny Gathering this past weekend.

Next up a simple but special Land Rover Defender 130. All the necessary kit, no frills. “Purpose built” indeed.

For our third rig, we take a look at a Toyota model many South Africans would welcome with open arms to the local market. A Toyota Tundra, and a pretty unique one at that…

It’s only right that there is at least one van conversion in this series. This week’s one comes courtesy of Syncroplanet, a page dedicated to restomodded Volkswagen Syncros

 

We end this week’s series with a Hilux fit for war. Check out this Toyota Hilux, converted for some serious overlanding.
