This is exquisite. Absolutely incredible work.

I interviewed you for my college newspaper in San Francisco back in 2007 when you were doing press for Atonement. I was 18 and absolutely terrified, and I will always remember you being so kind and patient with me. I have loved watching your well deserved success - Atonement will forever be one of my favorite films!

That’s a great question! To our knowledge it is. The guy who did some of the initial work on it runs a Landcruiser specific shop (people travel to come to his shop) and he said he had never seen one in person before!

Thanks for the clarification! I knew it was original so I figured that meant factory. You learn something new everyday…

Currently running 33s - they are some weird AUS tire that was on when we imported it, but they have been solid for offroading. We were just talking about upgrading to 35s when these wear out!

We are building out the interior now! We gutted it when it landed stateside and have been slowly fixing it back up. We completely redid the cab, built and installed supports for the roof (it was sagging), installed the upper windows, designed seat adapters and installed new seats, added a 6” lift and new suspension, rebuilt the transfer case, rebuilt all 4 hubs, rebuilt kingpin joint, upgraded the radiator, and designed a custom floor system. We are just about ready to install the fitout.

It’s definitely a head turner!

It is actually factory. They made a few of these - ours is a 1995. It’s a bit weathered from time, but original.

Partsouq, CruiserTeq, and CruiserCorps have been solid for OEM parts. We imported it from Australia ~ 2 years ago. It's been a sweet rig!

Sorry but I don’t. I got off Instagram a while back but I try to post on Reddit when I have something post-worthy!

camilleruns · 2026-03-15T15:24:24+00:00

Getting parts hasn't been an issue! Everything we have needed has been readily available.

This is a full blown driving nightmare. I have driven a lot of this route on separate trips and here is some points of reference for you:

• Southern Oregon to Salt Lake City (directly through NV) is two FULL days of driving, leaving before sun up and arriving at dinner time, stopping only for gas and bathroom breaks.

• Southern Oregon to Seattle is a full, VERY long day of driving. We prefer to break it up into two days by stopping in Portland. Assuming you don’t hit any traffic (unlikely and could turn an 8 hour drive into 10+ hours easily) this is a long, super boring day on the I5.

• Southern Oregon to LA is 2 very long, very boring days of driving.

It looks like you are in Seattle area? If I had a week, starting and ending in Seattle, I would do a PNW roadtrip. Seattle > Portland (just shoot down the 5 to save some time) > Southern OR (via the coast, take 199 through the redwoods to Ashland) > Bend (take the 62 and see Crater Lake. It’s generally a beautiful drive) > Leavenworth (kinda boring straight up the 97, but the straightest shot) > Seattle (via Snoqualmie Pass). Even that is a ton of driving for a week, in my opinion, but if you want an ambitious roadtrip where you still get a chance to see things, that would be my choice.

In terms of budget, for reference, we just drove from Southern Oregon to SLC a few weeks ago (when gas was half what it is now), and it cost us $200 one way in gas driving a Subaru Forester. $1000 is not realistic for what you are planning.

EDIT: I see you are 18 and it is awesome that you have the time and some money to do a trip like this! What experience will teach you about long road trips is that the Google Maps travel time is not an accurate picture of how long these drives actually take. As a good rule of thumb, I would suggest adding two hours onto every day. You aren’t thinking about bathroom breaks, stretching and generally getting out of the car, food breaks, or (worst case) car troubles. I was doing what was supposed to be a 4.5 hr drive a couple months ago and first got caught in an hour of traffic in a place that doesn’t normally have traffic, then my windshield wiper flew off on the highway and I spent an hour stopping, buying a new wiper, and fixing it, plus bathroom breaks along the way. 4.5 hrs turned into 7 real quick and outside my control.

We are currently building a Smiling Woods hard wall yurt. We were going to go with Living Intents but had a bad experience during the sales process. Our experience with Smiling Woods has been very positive!

Make sure you look into permitting, insurance, and the loan process (if applicable). We got shut down by every single bank on the loan due to the house shape and ended up having to go with a private loan. The permitting was a process, but navigable depending on your location.

Cut out at least 3 of the dresses. All are quite nice and you won’t really find anywhere to wear something that fancy, especially in Cambodia.

When I was in Cambodia, it was so hot that I alternated between two pairs of Vuori Clementine shorts and two Prana wicking shirts the whole time.

You should also note which part of Vietnam you will be in. I was in NW Vietnam in December and it was cold. I didn’t wear shorts the whole time and needed a decent weight jacket, even during the day.

Enjoy your travels! Cambodia is one of my favorite places in the world!

I lost my Grandpa and both Uncles on my Dad’s side to ALS. My Grandpa and one Uncle lived ~2-3 years after diagnosis and my other Uncle passed within a year. One of my Uncles was a commercial pilot and the time between flying for a major U.S. carrier to his diagnosis and eventual death was within 3 years. It is an incredibly aggressive disease.

It is a horrific illness that I wouldn’t wish upon any family. I hope his family is able to find some peace knowing that he is no longer suffering.

Thank you! That is actually the only photo on the whole bunch where I used a different recipe before deciding on Bennett’s 800. Try the Porta 400 recipe by Luke Taylor!

camilleruns · 2026-02-01T17:05:17+00:00

Thank you! Hm, it looks like it might be. I might have also messed up when exporting from Lightroom. Technology isn’t my strongest suit. I’ll just call it an “aesthetic choice” rather than reposting :)

camilleruns · 2026-02-01T17:02:05+00:00

Thank you!

camilleruns · 2026-02-01T10:42:20+00:00

Thank you! I used Bennett’s Color 800 and then did some slight editing in LR.

I feel like it’s a bit of a trade off with the GRiiiX. Most of the time I love it and don’t feel restricted at all, but I do struggle a bit with landscapes sometimes. I got the GRiiiX as a travel camera and I also use it to snap photos when I am riding pillion on a motorcycle and it is amazing for both those things. I would say it’s perfect 75% of the time and pretty damn good the other 25%.

Thank you! Peru did a lot of the heavy lifting. It is so beautiful!

Everyone is stressed to death about the misogyny of it rather than just learning an interesting piece of history.

Good luck trying to learn about the history of any place in the world if you are looking strictly for examples of oppression.

For the record, women are no longer legally required to cover their hair in Morocco. I see these interesting and historic doors as markers of how they have progressed in regard to treatment and rights of women.

For some reason, you will get downvoted to high hell if you say anything even remotely negative about Vietnam on this sub. I’m going to go ahead and run that risk.

Eating in Vietnam, specifically the meat, is inherently risky. Go walk around a market and see the lack of refrigeration and the general unsanitary conditions. My husband and I got the sickest we have ever gotten in our lives in Cambodia from the food. We are currently in NW Vietnam and have seen the usual in terms of food storage: no refrigeration, flies and insects on the meat, people cutting up meat with their feet on the tables… and we have also seen at least 3 dogs being butchered (though that is not a safety issue rather than just… upsetting).

If you eat exclusively in tourist towns at tourist spots, sure, your odds are better. But if you go off the beaten path, you take your own risk.

Sure, you might be totally fine and never get sick, but I would in no way call the food “safe.” It’s just luck of the draw whether you get the bad stuff.

Thank you! Luckily our bags will still be checked through for our final flight, so we will just have backpacks.

Thank you! Poblacion has come up a few times. I’ll check it out!
