This custom Toyota Land Cruiser "Ute" (Australian for "utility
vehicle"), was born a pickup but has been customized with a flatbed
and custom paint. It lived in the Outback in the Northern Territory
and still has that original license plate attached on the front. It
was built by Paul Duggan of Barbados Enterprises. Mechanically, the
truck has a 4.2-liter Toyota diesel engine with an aftermarket
turbocharger, new water pump and timing belt kit, a new clutch with
a reconditioned 5-speed gearbox and a rear limited-slip
differential. Both front and rear axles have been rebuilt with new
bearings, hubs and axle seals, along with new brake calipers and
4-wheel disc brake pads. The snorkel is a genuine Toyota part. It
features a towbar with a heavy-duty Australian bull bar on the
front, along with an LED bar light. To finish it off, this truck
has custom mag wheels, as well as an aluminum tray back (flatbed in
the U.S.) with fold-down sides and dual viewing lights on the
headboard of the tray back with LED taillights fitted. The interior
has custom matching seats and door trims with new carpet to match
and blue LED courtesy lights under the dash. Additionally, there
are white undercarriage lights. The exterior has airbrushing
showing the silver and black two-tone colors split with airbrushed
barb wire. On the hood is a cowgirl with twin smoking six-shooters.
Shown on the side of the cabin behind the upper part of each door
is a cow skull with thorns and roses in remarkable artwork that
looks three-dimensional. All the artwork on the vehicle was done by
Adrian Marchio and the painting by Paul Duggan. This is an
Australian vehicle with an Arizona theme.
