80-series Landcruiser Build for an Adventure Photographer

We just completed a project for our new friend Andrew Kearns (Instagram @andrewtkearns) to keep him powered up and ready to get great shots in more remote areas. For this project we began with a written interview we’ve specially developed to gather detailed information from prospective customers looking for a customized setup with their adventure mobile. After reviewing the interview paperwork we met with Andrew and presented a complete build proposal for discussion. After a few small tweaks we came to a final build sheet and brought the his truck in for an overhaul. What can we say? He’s stoked, and out there at it with a vehicle that can get him where he wants to go (and more).
