    How many villagers are needed to pull out a Tacoma? Can I fit that many in a double cab?

    I clicked hoping deep down @TomHGZ finally posted his video he kept promising.

    But this seems like an easier approach than some of the stuff he was preaching.

    Is this enough for you? If more is needed, I’m pretty sure a DCLB will fit.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I am sure another few months of editing will have it complete

    after all over 24 hours of film needs to be reduced to 3 hours.

    the fact the 4 winches failed needs to be removed other wise it defeats the purpose.
