Civil left-hand drive version of the "Japanese Hummer" (18 photos)
Not so long ago there was a post about the "Japanese Hummer", namely - Toyota Mega Cruiser, and when I wrote it, I was sure that it was different from the same Hummers, the civilian version of the Japanese does not exist.
It turned out not quite so. Yes, they left the factory purely military vehicles, but later, on their basis, conversions were made for comfortable civilian use, mainly for customers from countries of Eastern Europe and the former USSR. On this machine are preserved Kazakhstan numbers. A total of 150 civilian Mega Kruzakov”, so any of them is a mega exclusive.
I already talked about the technical part, the main difference here is - Transferring the steering wheel to the correct (for us) side. Full system control was preserved, so the rear axle remained steering.
Otherwise, the differences here relate to the interior, and of course, the exterior. Each of the cars was made to order, so two identical there are no conversions.
The salon is four-seater, but the huge rear platform allows you to equip there is even a sleeping place, in fact, you see it in the photo.
By the way, the ergonomics of the seats are better than those of the Hummers, there is more space both in breadth and in height.
We can safely say about the interior trim - expensively rich, but at the same time time is practical, using inexpensive components from different models Toyota. The equipment includes a full-fledged refrigerator, it is located between passenger seats in the back row, for communication there is a C-Bishka and satellite phone.
Climate control and an autonomous heater will provide comfort in the cabin in any time and any conditions, and outstanding off-road performance machines allow the owner to get very far from civilization.
Specifically, this car from Kazakhstan went to the USA, where it was sold for $310,000. No, the extra zero didn’t get in here, I myself was surprised by this price tag. It seems like a wealthy collector from Japan bought the car, therefore, most likely, after his long journey around the world she will return home.
