    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Def dumb as shit. Wonder if aired down and in 4wd it could have given a bit more fight?

    Worst part about the video is it seems to be dubbed over with the laughing. Kinda like watching a porno where the moans dont quite match up.

    It started with volume automatically for me, but it was insta-mute for that shit. I do the same thing for that awful "no no no" in a guys voice that is followed with the retarded laughing. Same for the "oh no. oh no. oh no no no" tickertocker song thing that everyone puts in everything. Using that kind of trash sound gets thumbs down and unsubbed 90% of the time for me. I hate it.

    Ugh, now that I turned it up I wish I hadn’t! Sounds like an old girlfriend when I told her I thought we should just be friends… that was a weird day! :eek:

    There, I tagged it with a warning to mute it before watching!

    Doubt it. Even when just standing there in the surf and the tide recedes, you sink.

    There are lots of people here in California that think because they have 4WD they can go anywhere without issue. Kind of like those guys that get a Ferrari and crash it the first day because they think the car can make up for lack of driving skills. LOL

    Even if you made it through, the truck would never be the same after the saltwater. What an idiot.

    A few minor exceptions. Top Gear did an "indestructible" test on a Hilux. Dropped a camper on it, drove it down stone steps, burned it, dropped it from 10 feet, put it on top of a building that was blowded up and it fell in the rubble ... and drowned it it in the English Channel. They had to beg the local "life saver" squad to swim out and bring it back it ("You really want that thing saved?!"). It did start after the drowning, but they eventually stopped trying to kill it after the building-drop broke the frame and the sheet-metal-skin was the only thing holding it together.
