This former Japanese 4WD "welfare van" was recently retired from service to serve a second life as your ticket to adventure. Upon importation it received a basic maintenance package, a JDM Offroad 2.5" lift, new KYB Monomax shocks, a set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and a factory Toyota snorkel. All that's left is an interior build-out to suit this vans full potential (ripping out the old wheelchair lift will net you ~4" of floor height and some nice weight savings OR repurpose it for the ultimate dirt bike hauler). The LH129 features Toyota's somewhat slow but famously reliable 3L 2.8 liter diesel engine mated to an automatic transmission. This particular specimen features a true 4wd system with high and low ranges and manual locking hubs. The welfare vans are unique in that in addition to the extended wheelbase and high roof of the LH129 chassis, they also include factory safari style roof windows with interior retractable shades. It was imported from Japan in January 2022 and is offered for your consideration.
