I wish I had gotten pics but I didn't want to be too invasive while they were setting up camp. I saw the nicest 75 series yesterday outside Lillooet, BC yesterday. It was driven by a Swiss couple traveling from Alaska to South America (if I understood them correctly) and taking a few years to do it. They had an alucab style pop top roof with bed up top and some amazing custom cabinetry work inside. I'm hoping they might see this and post some pics of their rig.

It also got me wondering, what's it like to own something like this and drive it mostly in North America from the standpoint of getting parts and maintenance when needed? Could you potentially be down for a while waiting for parts when something fails? Would your average random Toyota dealer struggle to work on one of these? I've had some bad luck lately while on road trips and this is one of the first things I thought of.

No worries, they don't break! :)
