That video is already on this forum, so I don't know why they would consider that current.

And yes I know the video doesn't work anymore, but it was posted quite a while ago.

[magnumfan]

I love top gear i think its the shit to be honest. Its so crazy everything they do, and the british accent does get a little overwhelming, but its totally worth it

That hilux is so awesome. Top gear is one of my favorite shows right now. i love the little side challenges they do apart from reviewing cars 90% of their viewers will never drive.

I remember watching something on TV a long time ago showing two 4Runners driving in the north pole. The 4Runners were identical and moded out with steel pipes that extended from the front and rear bumper. This was to prevent them from falling in a crevasse. They also had huge tires and were chained to each other I think. I tried to seach for it on google but didn't find anything.

I love those tricked out Taco's used for that. Seems they mostly use Tacoma's .
