Built by Proffitt’s Land Cruisers for the Expeditions 7 team, “Sherpa I” combines an HZJ79 pickup body with a 1989 FJ62 chassis and a Toyota 1HZ diesel fitted with an aftermarket low-pressure turbo, paired with a manual transmission. For sale by private party in Orange, Virginia, this custom Land Cruiser displays 92,163 miles, with true mileage unknown.
Sherpa I was built to carry camera, video, and support equipment for Expeditions 7. Its professional construction, documented history, and specialized equipment make it a distinctive offering for Land Cruiser collectors and overland enthusiasts alike.
Expeditions 7 History: Sherpa I served a dedicated support role within the Expeditions 7 fleet, carrying the equipment used to document the team’s travels. The expedition’s website identifies this truck and describe its specialized configuration.
Proffitt’s-Built Hybrid: Constructed by Proffitt’s Land Cruisers, the build pairs an HZJ79 pickup body with an FJ62 foundation. It brings the utility and recognizable shape of a 79 Series truck to a custom platform developed for expedition support.
Turbo Diesel & Manual Transmission: A Toyota 1HZ diesel with an aftermarket low-pressure turbo replaces the FJ62’s original gasoline engine. Paired with a manual transmission and four-wheel drive, it gives Sherpa I a hands-on driving experience consistent with its working character.
Upgraded Trail & Recovery Equipment: Custom-rate springs, Nitro heavy-duty axles, and front and rear ARB air lockers complement the chassis. An ARB front bumper carries a Warn 9,500 lb. winch, while IPF driving lights and a custom high-clearance rear bumper round out the equipment. The seller notes that the lockers need a replacement air compressor.
Integrated Camping & Storage: The custom soft bed enclosure incorporates a fold-down sleeping bunk on each side, with four overhead gooseneck reading lights. A rear bed cabinet carries two full-size spare tires and provides electrical outlets, while a lockable steel drawer offers secure storage. An underhood heat exchanger supplies hot water through connections between the cab and bed.
