Toyota’s Land Cruiser, arguably the most iconic four-wheel drive ever made, went into production in 1954. Since then, the company has released many iterations of this vehicle, all of which have a reputation for indestructibility and bet-your-life-on-it reliability. To celebrate the car’s legacy, Land Cruiser owners from all over the U.S. gather each year at the Land Cruiser Heritage museum in Salt Lake City for Cruiser Fest . This year, we sent photographer Louis Arevalo to photograph the drivers, their steeds, and some special edition Land Cruisers that live in the museum
