2nd Gen spotted in... Syria???

Searched and didn't see anything already posted...Just came across this on the web, not the best angle but this sure as hell looks like an access cab 2nd gen...



I for sure saw 2nd gen amongst a bunch of Hiluxes and even a tundra in the Middle East on the news about a week ago... Anyone know of how these trucks are getting over there?

 

hope it doesnt belong to ISIS

 

It was from an article talking about the improvised weapons of the Free Syrian Army... I don't believe the groups are related, if fact may end up opposing each other, although I really am not sure honestly. Meant to include that in the original post, sorry.

 

I've seen them in everything from Taco/Hiluxes, to Dodge Rams, to Hyundais, to Fords.

 

is that a hilux in the background or a nissan on the first picture posted?

 

Have no idea how it got there. Shipped in by water transport from the far east? Who knows?
Dude...these Tacoma's are the quintessential rough terrain desert rigs... If I was a Muslim insurgent whose mission is to crush the American imperialist dogs and had the $$ I wouldn't go risk my ass in a Chevy. Just sayin' ;-)

 

Isn't that access cab a Hilux too ?

 

and they probably just buy them , here

That would be correct.

I've seen ISIS with a 4Runner/First Gen Taco before too. Can't quite seem to locate the photo now though.

They have a lot more connections than a typical terrorist organization by the looks of it. That being said, the Hilux has been extremely popular over there for years. Hell, our own Spec Ops brought over first gen Tacos. I'm sure they have some of those at their disposal now.

 

Is it? Do you have a pic of whatever generation of Hilux that'd be by any chance? I looked around at photos and didn't see any that matched the tail light and wheel arches here that look pretty much exactly like the Taco. I wish I had a pic of the one from the news story... They had a great shot of it driving by from front to back, that was 100% a Tacoma.

 

If America left it in Iraq ISIS has it...

 

That gold is a pretty sick mod

 

Lots of Tacomas in the Middle East .......Toyota, number one among terrorist.

 

^^

 

damn ISIS- do they have to take selfies in front of our Tacomas?? LOL

 

Today on the news I saw a Mazda following a Nissan with a Toyota following them.

 

Did you just agree with your own reply? Well played my friend

 

I saw a long travel taco way out in the middle of nowhere in Panama while visiting one time. I was like

 

hahahahaha get to da chopper!!!

it's sad that the ISIS trucks are more reliable than our own hummers, tanks, and so forth. :/
