Tacoma vs Hilux. Check this pic...sick!!!

x2

 

I could see "Flava Flav" driving that....

 

yeaa heliux are prety bad ass
they had them at the dealer where i bot the tacoma
they where 18 grand and where turbo diesel
but... the seating was uncomfortalble jajaja or however you spell it
and it didint come with a 4x4 option ...stupid

 

Somebody needs to make a hilux style grille for the taco where the shape fits the opening between the lights & bumper & hood without the little triangle extra pieces we have.


+85 on all the turbo diesel solid axle boxed frame yesteryear body lines bring them here comments too.

Back in 79-81 we did have the 22L 2.4 diesel motor in our "hi lux's" or just gen 1 trucks or whatever. I don't think it came turboed or in a 4wd tho. The cab off my "82" in my gallery actually had a diesel in it at the junk yard. Had to cut tranny tunnel to fit the gas tranny stick. Tunnel was lower profile than the gas tunnel. Everything else fit from my cab to that one. Swapped to get rid of removable hard top convertible cab & go back to stock uncut cab(xcept for stick shift plate)

 

that is the heavily modified hilux from the Top Gear polar special - i would love to have one as well

Those things are mental! I's be stoked to go on that expedition!!

 

How hard is it to import one? I love the straight axle diesel double cabs

 

Importing one is almost out of the question since by the time you get it legal for the road here it is almost not even worth it. My plan is slightly different. Take the new D4D diesel and drivetrain then transplant it into the 05. That is after the axle transplant.

 

Kinda looks like a frontier.

 

You mean like this one! http://www.jdmparts.ca/proddetail.php?prod=02245

This is from a BC website, I'm not sure what the import laws in the US are.

 

Jesus..................he should have bought a Honda Ridgeline..............

 

or a honda ridgeline, or an avalanche, or an *insert other truck i would never be caught dead driving here*...

 

I think a US Diesel Hylux would be great

 

Man i wish the Tacomas and Hiluxes were still this strong... i bet the engine is but the body is definately not http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrk6vsb77xk

 

Isn't there a pub about 100ft down from that spot... Drank all night at the pub after we walked off the old course at about 9:45pm one June night.

 

I say they put the Hilux insides into the Tacoma and call it an even drawl. I voted Hilux due to the diesel but yea.. I looooove the Taco's looks over the Hilux

 

Very cool video. Thanks for sharing that!

 

No Prob

 

I like the hilux...but I LOVE MY TACOMA......

 

the cabin looks like a titan, the bed thing looks like it belongs on an old chevy, wheels from an escalade and that hood scoop was bought from autozone. not a fan :/ But loving the turbo diesel!!
