Series 70 Land Cruisers on I-64

[bldgrn1990]

Yes I am well aware of what board this is ....BUT for the past few days I have seen at least 10 of these in white on trucks heading west from the from Norfolk. I've also seen one rigged as a nice camper driving on its own. Since they aren't exactly legal I'm just wondering where they are going.

I really wish Toyota started selling these in the states.

We have a few of these as training vehicles. One "B" (4 cyl) and one "H" (6 cyl) - both diesels of course. They are what a proper pick up should look like.

The "Troopies" are used by the State Dept quite a bit. They have a handful in WV at their training facility, but they don't really train in them. I drove one of armored ones they have there, but they are suppose to be for deployment for their MSD teams. They have some pretty cool shit.

Saw three on the back of a car carrier this am heading northbound on 95 just below Springfield. Nice looking trucks.

I drove a 6-cyl petrol pickup for several months when I lived in South Africa. Low-speed maneuvering with no power steering was interesting, but damn could that truck work hard. Best day was towing a trailer with a bunch of rafts, kayaks, and whitewater gear, bed filled with people and beer, on rough roads and through drainage gullies in the bush after a huge rain. Leaf springs, zero creature comforts, it was definitely not a road-trip (sorry- overlanding) vehicle but for running a rafting company in the boonies it was perfect. Made my buddy's Defender 300Tdi feel like a Range Rover by comparison.

You know this is funny, I saw one headed North Bound on 95 last Monday being towed on a dolly behind a late 90's gold suburban. Probably between Springfield and Quantico.

White tray back single cab.

I bought them, preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse. Loading up on drones next.

I've got a shop in Springfield VA that is across from some big govt vehicle location. It's tons of Cruisers, Tahoes, Crown Vics, ect. I always wondered what the Cruisers were for as they looked really new. I'll phone one of my guys and see if I can get a pic.

That's likely the State Departments armored HQ. They are located in Springfield. They operate mostly with Suburbans, but have a large fleet of Troopies.
