The Dirt Taco: From Mobile Meth Lab to Righteous Rock Crawler

Although the smell wasn't that bad in comparison to other vehicles I have seen.

There was an abandoned Hyundai that was wrecked at an apartment complex. The doors wouldn't close, and I'm guessing some kids got in it. There was what must have been a restaurant size jar of pickel relish dumped over the entire interior of the car. You could actually taste it when you walked up to the vehicle.

 

Love videos like this. Curious to see how it turns out and how much more money he has to put into it

 

Well, they uploaded a new video. New engine. Supercharger.

 

Because, some have more money than...

 

One does not have to abuse in order to use a truck like a truck...

 

its an extreme but compared to the "i got a scratch how much will it cost me to fix threads" that pop up all the time on Tacoma World its nice to see someone use their truck.

 

Do you use your truck like that. you might as well take a dump on the passenger floor, as it would fit right in.
That's not use, that's abuse and someone who has way more money than brains.

 

No but ive see alot of trucks to lesser extremes

 

So do I. But not normally from a 3-5 year old truck. Usually, trucks that look like that are in the 20 year old range. They were bought cheap and used to haul dung inside and out.

 

Looks like the previous owner got their money's worth out of the truck. They also look like they took it offroad and used the modifications they had been installed.

 

i would agree, the used the hell out of it.

 

I wonder if at some point, if it stopped running and was sitting in the driveway. That maybe they just started throw trash in it because it was there, and maybe they planned on getting rid of it.

I would have liked to see the PO roll up to the Toyota dealership, with their letter from the dealership asking to buy back the truck.

 

chances are the trash started when the engine took a dump. people start using it as a dumpster when it doesnt move anymore

 

They off-roaded to the meth lab out in the woods... lol

 

Them damn Duke Boys!

 

While Junior's in H.S. my buddy was handed the keys to a Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 brand new with the exception being, his father drove it to Florida and back. A year later in 1980 it was sitting in the yard, up on blocks, engine knocking, transmission slipping, front and rear bumpers bent and twisted, running without the rear drive shaft since, the yolk was busted off the rear, not a body panel without a major dent in which some dents were filled with unprimed bondo(beautiful)... sat for a couple more years until some guy offered him a few thousand dollars.

 

I respect it

 

Add me to the "came across these videos and am entertained" camp!

 

The cylinder head exhaust oval port is kinda neat.

 

More wrenching on my 2018 Tacoma (ep: 4 out of the garage!)
