    It is also worth noting that Sport Special has Jeep-style half-doors with zip-up windows. Some Hoppers have full metal doors with crank windows, and some have half-doors like the Sport Special...

    This is the Dune Edition, which has the same powertrain as the other two I drove today, but has two upgrades. Those are front and rear locking differentials, and raised suspension...

    Handles just like a real SUV when pushed to its limits...

    :facepalm:

    Body damage after this little mishap was almost nonexistent, but the engine was damaged due to oil starvation... :eek:

    There are several "limo" variants of the Hopper, and the extra length does not hinder off-road capability or general performance in the slightest!

    @Speedytech7

    I saw this on the backlot at Bennett Toyota, and based on the residue around the window, I'd say it was at the dealer getting the window replace; I have seen better-looking FZJ80s before, and while this one is not triple-locked, it is not the worst one I've seen...

    Remember the green '97 that I saw in Jersey a couple years ago, that literally looked like it had driven through a barricade during a zombie apocalypse?
