Land Crewser: The Custom Crew Cab Land Cruiser Project
Do you love FJs, but want more doors? Well, someone else did, but didn’t complete the project, so we’re left with some work done and a lot left. Are you brave enough to take this one on?

Super Rare (in US) Peugeot P4
Celebrate the potential return of Peugeot and/or Citroen to the US market with an oddball, French military Peugeot product, which should also be a thoroughly capable off-roader.

StudeBlazer: Studebaker Lark on Blazer K5 Frame
We love old Chevy Blazers, so we briefly shed a tear when we find one has been sacrificed; but it’s a relief when the end result is awesomely odd. In this case, someone decided a 1962 Studebaker Lark two-door post would make a good off-roader. We tend to agree.

Hotbox? 1990 Mazda Bongo 4WD Van
Here was have a delightful JDM van with arguably the best collection of typical late 80s/early 90s factory decals ever applied! If you’ve never seen a Mazda Bong – er – Bongo, yet this seems familar, that could be because it was also sold as the Nissan Vannette (related to the fire-prone, US market C22…

Commie Crawler: 1990 Lada Niva
Here we have arguably the best Soviet car ever made – one so good that it’s still in production. Its the Lada Niva, the ultimate off-road hatchback! As a 1990 model, this is still Soviet, too, not only Russian.

1978 Jeep J10 Honcho with Levi’s Interior and Four-Speed
This is easily the best-looking pickup ever made, and the Honcho package added 70s decals, roll bar and Levi’s interior to the mix. We love it, especially in these colors.

AMBEE, the Mighty Mini Monster Truck
Here we have a full-on, custom miniature monster truck! Make no mistake, this truck is small. The seller has been nice enough to include a video of it running and driving and which gives a good idea of scale.

1977 Pinto Cruisin’ Wagon Meets Bronco 4WD System
WWe love Pinto Cruising Wagons in just about any condition or format. This is probably the most heavily modified we’ve seen, as it’s lifted and features a 1974 Bronco 4WD system and 1975 302 V8. The result is beautifully ridiculous. The seller provides a decent amount of info, but it’s not 100% clear how this was…

Modified 1988 Suzuki Samurai with VW TDI Power
First, this is an older TDI engine; so don’t assume VW will buy it back! With that out of the way, we think this is a great swap idea. Anyone worth his or her weight in compost knows that the often-disrespected Samurai is an amazingly capable off-roader. Adding torque via a turbo-diesel is, we think,…

1962 Citroen 2CV Sahara
Here’s one of our favorites, which is basically a Citroen 2CV with dual engine to yield four wheel drive. This was specifically built four exploring the French colonies in Africa, but we assume it was expensive or not too competitive with the Land Rover, given production under 700 units total. These are now collector cars…
