78 Series
Troop Carrier

The ultimate overland wagon — Toyota’s legendary Troop Carrier body, custom built to meet U.S. import requirements. Built by Land Cruiser Heaven.

The LCH Solution

The Overland Wagon Done Right.

The 78 Series Troop Carrier is the wagon version of Toyota’s 70 Series platform — a boxy, go-anywhere machine beloved by overlanders, expedition teams, and serious off-road enthusiasts worldwide. It seats up to nine, swallows gear, and refuses to quit.

At Land Cruiser Heaven, we custom build each 78 Series Troop Carrier to fully meet U.S. import requirements — so you get a truck that is legally titled, properly registered, and ready to explore. No grey areas. No shortcuts.

Every build goes through our full Resurrection process — ground up, done right. The result is a legitimate, street-legal Troop Carrier unlike anything else available in the U.S.
