All of the Gear in my '87 Land Cruiser

About This Video
Every piece of gear stored in our 1987 Land Cruiser. On the title it's Isabel's truck; she bought it, Van dumped a fortune into it. Toyota calls it a station wagon. The Cummins R2.8 turbo diesel gets 25 miles per gallon but it is LOUD: ear protection and walkie-talkies for driver and passenger. Gentleman's tool kit, tape, scribes, pep pills, Isabel's lotion, Isabel's lotion, Isabel's lotion. Soy sauce for the boys' road sushi, stored in an old Isabel's lotion bottle. The gear list reveals priorities: repair tools outnumber comfort items.
