In Brief

Australian company Headspace Campers unveiled a 4x4 camper based on Toyota HiAce LWB with 300 mm ground clearance, Land Cruiser 200 transfer case, and 35-inch tires.

Australian company Headspace Campers has presented a camper based on the Toyota HiAce LWB with all-wheel drive and 300 mm of ground clearance, which is more than any factory Land Cruiser. Off-road capability is enhanced by a transfer case from the Land Cruiser 200, differential locks, reinforced suspension, and 35-inch tires.

Inside, there is a shower, a kitchen with an induction cooktop, two sleeping areas, and a 48 V electrical system with a 200 Ah lithium battery. The base conversion costs 18,950 Australian dollars, and the premium version 27,590 Australian dollars, excluding engineering and installation costs.

According to another source, the original vehicle was rear-wheel drive, and the engine remains the same — a 2.8-liter turbodiesel with 177 hp and 450 Nm of torque. It also mentions a pop-up roof, tanks for 270 liters of fuel and 150 liters of water, and optionally two 40-liter jerry cans.
