Earth's Toughest Truck!

So I was online and came across a pretty bad ass wirte-up about the Hilux and figured I would share it with you a-holes!

that does indeed look tough

 

Thats what I thought. I want one real bad... but only if it looks like the ones in the picture. haha. Could you imagine seeing one of them driving down the road?!

 

With enough money, you can has one

That's the first time I've seen the tandem rear wheel setup but I've seen the other ones. Google Arctic Truck and you'll find a bunch of vehicles with similar kits. I've seen an F-250 and a Lexus with the same kit and there's a member here that has a Tacoma with that kit.

 

That thing is straight sexy

 

They would have made it sooner if AT didn't use giant body lifts and stock arms....

 

- Half the flex in these trucks come from the tires. In fact, there's less suspension travel than stock.
- Anyone seen the video of the transfer case repair they did on ice? Wrenching in -50 temps...
