Toyota was out in force at Overland Expo 2013. I think almost every type of 4x4 Toyota was in attendance, except the venerable Hilux. The Tacoma and 80 Series Land Cruisers were for sure the most plentiful. From stock to heavily modified overland expedition rigs, they were all there. It is hard to beat the build quality, reliability and international availability of parts for … [Read more...] about Vehicles of Overland Expo 2013: TOYOTA
