I'll paraphrase the video for you... They get an old Toyota hilux pick up, (the ones you see rebels driving round in during those African/middle eastern rebel type conflicts), and they drive it into a tree, let the tide come in and fill it with water/sand,silt/, then they drop a caravan on it, then they whacjk it with a demolition ball, then they set fire to it, and it still works, and runs.... Then they put it atop a hideous apartment block, and blow the apartment block up... (Its something like 23 stories high), and in amongst the rubble, they get it out, and start it up....It runs.... As JC says, its automotive greatness...

I've got one

But I just sold it because I'm moving. It was my daily driver for about a year and a half. 1982 Toyota Pickup. Only mine was the gas not diesel.

You are, as Richard 'The hamster' hammond called it, a 'Driving God'.. You have just sold automotive greatness... Did you find it to be just as tough???

Yes, that thing is tough. I didn't really take the best care of it because..well I paid $800 for it and it never needed anything (besides the radiator...got a leak in it). So I did one oil change, changed the plugs, etc and never worried about it for over a year. Those 22R's are indestructable. I had 250,000 on it and the only problem was burning oil (and lack of power...but thats normal). I pulled some Dukes of Hazard crap in it too. Man its fun to get all 4 wheels off the ground

I have a ram charger vid on my miniDV that you would love. we built a jump, and jumped it until the axle broke. then rewelded the axle, and did it again.

upside to having farmers for friends.
