Toyota Hilux, "Top Gear" Climb Icelandic Volcano Just Before Eruption

A buddy of mine emailed me this link because he knows I worship Toyotas.
I thought it was pretty cool....Enjoy.

Toyota Hilux, "Top Gear" Climb Icelandic Volcano Just Before Eruption - Wide Open Throttle - Motor Trend Magazine

Toyota Hilux, "Top Gear" Climb Icelandic Volcano Just Before Eruption

When she wants to, Mother Nature never fails to make a mess of things, and the recent eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano is a perfect example. Reportedly just a few hours before the skies filled with ash, scientists ascended the mountainside to set up monitoring equipment with a very familiar Toyota Hilux, and took some amazing photos along the way.

If you don't recall, this Hilux was heavily featured on the Arctic special of "Top Gear," and the "Top Gear" crew was also reportedly at the volcano at the same time as the scientists as part of a upcoming episode. We're guessing the scientists will make an appearance in the segment, although that's unclear at this point.

The diesel-powered truck was heavily revised to cope with the cold climate, running large 38-inch tires and larger fuel tanks to survive the harsh terrain. The Arctic Trucks-built Hilux has made numerous media appearances since its first appearance on "Top Gear," and its reputation should only be further enhanced by the coming episode.

UGH! Don't tease me! You know top gear took the blame for the eruption. Top Gear takes blame for Icelandic volcano eruption — Autoblog I love the sarcasm.
