    That's pretty awesome! That hitch system looks custom, not your typical ball mount for sure! It's funny how some people can't handle trailers on an open, paved road and here these guys off road hauling a camper.

    That was pretty sick! Not sure if my taco would make it through that let alone pulling a trailer. Looks like fun though, but I might just bring a tent!

    that poor Land Cruiser... :( that cannot be good for the tranny... it was cool that he did all that but wtf... why would you want to take that big of a trailer offroading? It isn't even worth the hassle. Just take a tent! :rolleyes:

    on a side note... I want one of the cruisers with the diesel engines! :D

    Its the water I would be worried about. Might be a reminder to do the diff breather mod. Not sure if I can justify the snorkel. I have had good luck in the sugar sand before but a winch would go a long way in that terrain. Another thing I am lacking:(
