I've got a copy of this on my computer, if someone wants to see it, I'll put it somewhere to be downloaded. In other news, this is the truck that I'm getting tomorrow!!! I'm excited that it's indestructable!

[jalmir]

indestructable ??? hell yeah! couldn't believe it when they started it after the fall of the building!!!

[burkej62]

[robs02elantra]

I'm uploading it to photobucket now, I'll post the link when it's done.

[OPZ]

Thats not a truck. Thats a friggin TANK!

[robs02elantra]

so photobucket cuts them off at 3 minutes no matter the length. Anyone got some solutions...it's 75mb?

video.google.com (http://video.google.com/)

your allowed up to 100Mb per files, for larger files you need some sort of software ... (not sure cause I never uploaded videos to google video)

this is so old.... and yes they can be killed Jeremy later made a ToyBota when they had there Aqua car episode, at the end Hammonds van, and Richards car both broke but Jeremy says, "Yes you two can't drive but as we see *points to the Hilux on the display* that these are Industructible." he then trys to start it and fails. The funniest part was that he won the contest but lost also. He made it to the dock but flipped it before he got on land =P.

I didn't really want to sit through and watch a video for 14 mins, but Top Gear always knows how to make it interesting. I wish we got that car, and that show here in the states.

[robs02elantra]

well, you can get the same car (just not diesel) in the states, and most of the episodes are on youtube, and occasionaly you can catch them on speed network.

[BlackElantraGT]

they sell the hilux in the U.S.??

[robs02elantra]

yeah, it's just called a "Toyota Pickup". It has a 2.4L gas engine so not quite as much torque as the diesel, but it's not bad at all.

[jalmir]

don't know if the gas engine could take the same amout of damage and still start? (I think it would!) :D

[Gman]

What I find funny on a personal level - I had a 78 toy that would not die, 250k miles. We would change the oil in my dads new car then use that old oil to change the oil in the toy. What finally killed it was the frame rusted through at just about the same spot that theirs broke. Even after the frame broke I still drove it fro a few weeks but the axes had moved back 3-4 inches on the pass side so the truck was always trying to turn to the left. I finally sold it to a local hillbilly that had four other old toys for $100 and after it had been sitting for two years he sprayed a little starter fluid in it and drove it home.

[BlackElantraGT]

I guess because it had a different name than what we know it as here in the U.S., I was thinking this was some sort of heavy duty version of the Toyota pickup/Tacoma, sorta like how some American trucks offers a HD version.

[robs02elantra]

well, mine has 140,000 miles on it, and it's still going strong. The frame is great and has no abuse...the body has a little rust in it, but I've found a place that has some good cheap panels, primed and not painted. So, I'm going to change them out, run it until it dies, and see how long it lasts. I will put it through it's paces...just have to see how much that is.

well I know of some Tercel that easily run over 250K miles and were still running well ...

[robs02elantra]

I might have this for longer than I thought then. Good stuff.

[robs02elantra]

there's a lexus motor that fits rather nicely. I just have to find out more about it.

[Alucardabyss]

Looks like the same color as the Toybota
