HEN you first lay eyes on what is
inarguably the neatest 200 Series
Land Cruiser in Australia, the only
word that can do it justice is perhaps one of
the most overused: Perfect. We’re not using
that word lightly. In fact, we spent hours
poring over Cale Walton’s immaculate LC200
trying to think of another angle, some other
detail that makes it stand head and shoulders
above the crowd. We couldn’t. Nothing sums it
up better than that one word.
It’s not perfect in the way some other 4x4s have
earned the title. It’s not the kind of bus that can
rock-bounce with the best of them without turning
vital components into a slurry of gear oil and metal
shards. It’s not the fastest in the whoops, capable of
leaping tall washouts in a single bound. It’s not even the most
modified LC200 we’ve seen. But every single modification,
alteration and customisation has been so thoroughly
researched and meticulously planned that the end result is far
greater than the sum of its parts. It’s a mechanical work of art
very few will ever fully appreciate.
If it sounds like we’re exaggerating, it’s because it’s hard
to put into words just how rare it is for a build of this calibre
to fall into place the first time around. It’s a testament to
the careful planning of Cale, and the organisational skills of
his wife Krystal, who makes things happen when Cale’s off
working the gas lines.Mickey Thompson MTZ
