Toyota to the SOUTH Pole

[<<<<]

We all seen Clarkson and BBC's Top Gear take Hilux to the North Pole. Here is different team taking Hilux to the South Pole.


Here is how these machines are made:

And, finally, the trip:

I got the DVD, it's blue ray. It's amazing and fun. US does not have it so I got mine from Amazon.co.uk, yes, it's different region code but playstation 3 plays it!! I think we watched it about 10 times already.. It's a must have for any Toyota truck fan.

The North Pole trip was actually by the same guys, Arctic Trucks. They were also the same guys who drove the first wheeled vehicle (a Land Cruiser 80) across Antarctica.

I have actually been lucky enough to drive some of their vehicles while in Iceland, including one of the LC's that drove across Antarctica.

What was the title on the bluray? I would like to look into getting it. Thanks!

Those Taco's are freaking sweat! I don't know how they got such beefy tires under those trucks but it ROCKS!!!

That's really cool. I couldn't imagine working on a truck when it's that cold outside.
