RAMBLIN' MAN

BRAD Russell, the owner of this neat-as-a-pin Midnight Blue 79 Series LandCruiser, is a bit of an adventurer it seems. He’s worked in the four-wheel drive industry for more than 20 years, has travelled all over Australia, owning both a modified Troop Carrier and 79 Series dual-cab LandCruiser previously. This sort of real-world experience is invaluable when it comes to knowing what to modify and how to achieve your vision when it comes time to build your idea of a dream off-roader, something Brad has nailed with his latest and greatest creation dreamed up and made into reality by the team at Rambler Vehicles.

There isn’t much that the Rambler Vehicles team hasn’t touched on Brad’s 79 Series, you often hear people referring to their builds as ‘game changers’, well this Cruiser hasn’t just changed the game, it’s rewritten the rule book both in terms of outright attention to detail, as well as the quality of accessories and modifications included. Let’s take a closer look at the Rambler Vehicles 79 Series LandCruiser, oh, and if you want one just like it, the Rambler team will be more than happy to build one just like it for you. Just saying.
