The now famous LC79 4x4 ‘Black Truck’ just wasn’t enough. Justin Montesalvo, director of Patriot Campers, had to go bigger and more extreme and show the world what his team was truly capable of. The love for Toyota Land Cruisers is strong at Patriot, so taking a LC79 and turning it into a 6x6 on portals was the next evolution of the Supertourer program.
The team at Patriot calls this monster the Mega6x6. It’s rolling on 37-inch BFG KM3 mud-terrains, has up to 8 inches of lift, and has a fully functional six-wheel drive system.
The build debuted at the Melbourne 4x4 Show in 2018. Since then, it has done a wide range of serious overland adventures across Australia and recently the U.S., after its SEMA Show debut in 2022. It is currently on the auto show circuit with Toyota U.S.A. between off-road excursions.
While there is no doubt this truck was built to turn heads and showcase the top-notch work at Patriot Campers at big shows, it was also built to be a real-world capable vehicle for long-range overland travel. Montesalvo and his team at Patriot Games TV have shown this time and time again by taking this beast on properly difficult off-road adventures and sharing those adventures on YouTube.
