Special Delivery : Patriot Campers' LC200 Super Tourer Black Edition

Patriot Campers’ Covert & Compready Cruiser.

- Justin Walker

THIS is the perfect touring vehicle.” How’s that for confidence!

That was the bold statement made by Patriot Campers’ Justin Montesalvo when describing this highly modified, matte-black-wrapped 2016 Land Cruiser Sahara dual-cab tourer.

Yep, this thing is an impressive bit of kit. And so it should be, considering it is a no-holds barred example of Patriot Campers’ Super Tourer (ST) modified off-roaders – the end results of Justin’s ideas of what a modified tourer should look like and, most importantly, how it should perform on- and off-road.

Patriot Campers has produced more than 40 Super Tourer vehicles to date, but this LC200 Sahara is a real stand-out – Justin reckons the build for this beast took an incredible 400 manhours. Running your eyes over this impressive tourer it’s easy to see where those hours were spent, as Justin and his team implemented his original design idea of producing a modified dual-cab LC200 tourer that could handle any offroad adventure around Australia but still retain a ‘standard’ (a term used loosely) appearance. “The tray and all mods were form-fitted to retain a factory-style look,” Justin said. “You’d think it was a Toyota-build vehicle.”
