Anyone saw new episode of Top Gear? Jeremy and James in Toyota Hilux vs. Richard with sled and dogs race to the north pole.

Hilux was heavily modified.

Here is entire story.

I haven't seen that episode - does look cool though! (pardon the pun)

 

Just watched the episode, pretty impressive!

 

all the way from the rugged mts of afghanistan with terrorists driving, to the artic with somewhat sane explorers, love them toyotas

 

I dont like the looks of the new hilux/tacoma, but it was impressive. But what were they thinking when they modified the suspension

"Each Hilux was extensively modified, including the front suspension, which was lowered by 2-inches, moved forward by 1.6-inches, and lifted by 1.6-inches, and the rear suspension, which received longer leaf springs fitted with heavy duty long travel bump stops and specially tuned shock absorbers."


It seems strange to me???

 

Yeah i watched it on youtube, i was pretty amazed actually, that they were able to do that. I really didnt think they'd make it, i laughed my *** off when they pulled out the toilet seat trailer hitch combo, i might have to get me one of those, would come in handy when i go camping lol....

 

Here is where you can get your "bumper dumper" haha. All you need is that, a shovel, and some T.P.
