Dude, have you seen the indestructible Hilux yet?

Well, I've always been a fan of the Hummer, and I always wished Toyota had the gov't contract so that I could buy a Toyota product.

I'll stick with my 80 for now.

On a related note, I saw a picture of a custom landcruiser that was apparently built on a 100 chasis, but with a custom body that looked like a slightly modern and much wider FJ40.

I've tried searching here, but don't seem to know the right search terms. Any ideas?

This? you need to give some more detail, WTF are you talking about? Looks like a fj40 on a 100 series frame?

Its a 73 series actually that has lost the FRP in favor of a crappy steel roof.
Built by a panel and Paint shop in JAPAN where they reportedly made 200 but I suspect it was a lot less.
