The Tierra Del Sol 4×4 Club Desert Safari rally started in 1967 and continues to this day! Below we have some awesome videos from the early years of the annual event, which takes place in the California desert. The Tierra Del Sol rally is easily one of the largest and most popular events in the southwest, if not for all of the USA. We hope that you enjoy the videos below. Watch them on full screen view if you can! It is really neat to see how much technology has changed over the years. Long gone are the days of manual steering, 3″ of wheel travel and bellbottoms. We are happy to see that the family aspect and friendships gained through four wheeling has not changed over the years. Not to mention bikini’s. What do you think of the videos? Do you have some old videos or photos that you would like to share?
This Troopie HJ45 Toyota Land Cruiser from Vancouver, BC is in great shape and is one of the best troopies I have seen. Having said that, I would rather it had the Overland top it was originally outfitted with. It does not matter, though, because it is still out of my budget
Isn’t this 1964 FJ45 Toyota Land Cruiser a beauty?
Reader Brian Terris sent recently sent in photos of his 1976 Woodsman 4×4 RV as well as his 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45. The bed was pretty rotten, so he replaced it with logger or rigging box.
Last month, we did a feature article on Glenn Reid’s restored 1962 Dodge Power Wagon. . Now we have another beauty from his stable… his 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Wagon. Make sure to check out his website for more photos!
Brian McCamish has posted a bunch of photos of his dad’s Toyota Land Cruiser. The photos, from the 70’s and 80’s, are from a variety of trails, including the Rubicon Trail in California. Brians website not only has these awesome photos, but is full of lots of Toyota information.
I am not sure where I got this photo from, but I assume the Toyota Land Cruiser pickup is from South America or overseas. What a great work truck!
