I was surprised this thread didn't get bumped sooner. That intro lol.

 

talk about towing capacity huh?

remind me again why we dont have the hiulx in america...


favorite part of the video at time stamp 9:12....

justice

 

Not the Larry Enticer I was expecting.

 

Yeah I know, kinda click baity..

Send it!

 

30,000lbs. Nothing "broke".

That roll in the intro though, man.. he's lucky. One thing to beat up a truck, quite another to risk injury like that. Yup, he's nuts.
I guess you could say at least he didn't have someone else do it.

The next (and presumably last) installment should be interesting. Several hints dropped... about dropping it.

 

Part #3 Moab Torture test

Impressive to say the least. 1st gens are tough, but not as tough as that for sure.

 

Amazing what a heavily modified and strengthened frame can support and do.

 

I've seen your posts on this in other threads..
Meh, not sure what your point is.
I guess every other component in the engine, driveline, suspension etc etc was saved by the strengthened frame eh.. ok.
Nobody really cares, it just some guy beating the shit out of a Toyota for entertainment.
Have a good one though.

 

∆
I take it this guy aint a fan lmao. I am though go WD!

 

Dunno lol..

Not a hill I would choose to die on, but hey.. we're all different.

 

Huh? hill to die on? LMAO, STFU. Just would love to see a video of all the mods he did and how he did it. That would be more interesting to me. He probably could have put 2.5 ton axles on it with that frame. I think it's cool about all the mods that he did. If you had the money and will you could do that to your Taco or a ford ranger or, insert mid size truck brand here. But not a fan of the destruction videos, sorry.

 

Last I checked Hollywood has been wrecking cars for generations to make a profit.

 

Whoa.. guess I shoulda hinted that this is all for fun. As in not a serious thread.

If anyone wants to argue though, have at it!

 

I really do have a soft spot for all those classic Chargers..
Insert last post music..

 

I mean he does a video of the front undercarriage at the end. Did you even watch? Looks stock to me.

The only mod he claims to have done was a welded diff. :shrug:

 

For comparison, here's the suspension from an old for sale ad vs the video. I might be missing something but I'm not seeing any upgrades here. Sure it doesn't refer to the frame but I would have bet SOMETHING on the axle would have broken before the frame.





Also not a fan of destruction videos but credit to where it's due. I truly think the Hilux is the most durable stock road vehicle ever made.

 

How many General Lee’s did they go through?

 

Typically mini truck solid axles bend, the whole housing bends, but it's extremely rare to have a knuckle ball break off because they're welded in so deep
