Midwest Expedition Offroad

11/27/2025

From a humble 1983 Toyota pickup to a full-blown rock-buggy masterpiece, Shane turned vision, skill, and countless hours in the shop into something incredible. With help from MEO and his unmatched attention to detail, he built a machine that shows what true craftsmanship looks like.
This crawler is equipped with: Toyota 22RE turbo on propane, dual Toyota transfer cases, front and rear 14-bolt axles, ORI struts, and massive 42” BFG Red Labels mounted on 20” Raceline beadlocks.
Every weld, every bracket, every choice in parts reflects Shane’s dedication to building a rig capable of conquering anything in its path. What started as a dream is now an absolute weapon on the rocks.

Owner Testimonial

"We’re an outdoor family through and through — camping, off-roading, and chasing the next adventure is just part of who we are. Our 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser has been with us on countless trails, campouts, and backcountry trips with our two boys, Vincent and Daniel. It’s not just a vehicle — it’s our adventure partner.

With its legendary reliability, rugged build, and classic style, this Land Cruiser has never let us down, whether we’re deep in the woods camping or climbing rocky paths. There’s just something special about driving a rig that can handle anything and still look this good doing it.

For us, it’s more than transportation. It’s memories in motion."
— Scott & Mary Ann

This, one owner, 1995 Tacoma came to us in pretty bad shape and in a horrible purple color. We fixed those issues with a cosmetic restoration. We used lots of Toyota OEM body parts and gave it some fresh paint. Thanks for the business Shane!
