It's the main reason I told my wife to sign up when AMAZON did there $67 for a year subscription earlier this year. Plus she's a teacher, and buys all sorts of school supplies on there, and gets em all within 2 days with prime shipping. Keeps her from having to drive the 30 miles down to Tampa to buy stuff every few weeks.

There's a guy on 4Runner.org from Iceland I believe that has a 2nd gen 4Runner set up with tires like those in the OP.

Those trucks are too nice and too new to cut up that way in my opinion.

Currently have a 2nd gen 4Runner myself, have had 4 toyotas total, will always have at least one. Would like an older tundra to pull the V, but probably out of my price range. Have considered keeping my eyes open for a clean, mostly unmolested/lightly modified 80's model that has been babied, or easier to find-- rebuilt and spend the money. The older ones are going up in value.

One of the main reasons the one in the top gear vids survived so long is because it had a diesel engine, very hard to find and coveted in the U.S. A gas engine, even a 22R wouldn't have cranked that easily without major help. Another guy on 4Runner.org had a CLEAN 2nd gen '90 model 4Runner with a diesel and wanted $10K firm for it.

I'm a chevy/gmc guy myself Ridge, but don't like the idea of buying their newer stuff since the bailouts.

X2.. Unimog. (Perhaps a little customization in the cabin... stereo upgrade, leather captains chairs,, carpets etc, but Unimog all the way).

Oh, and since we're talking badass... lets not forget Pinzgauer. God I'd love to get my hands on one of them...

If your just talking WANTS I will take a Minzi Muck and maybe convert it over from an excavator to a people hauler. I don't even know why, I just want one...

Lol, ok, now you're getting weird... But they ARE interesting for sure... :beer:

I used to work for menzi muck in Lakeland and I will say they were fun to operate and you wouldn't have to worry about getting stuck! Just don't blow a hydraulic line they used panolin hydraulic fluid and it was $100 a gallon for the stuff and that was 5 years ago... But I'd like to see one with a truck mounted on the top side!!! :sand:

The county has one with a boom mounted brush hog. Wicked hill going platform, but yeah, slow and all hydraulic. Like they need one, snark, snark, the guy writing the acqusition papers was probably just like me. Gotta get one...What is the cost of one Bret? I'd think $125K maybe
:money:

I think the one Lakeland has was over 200k I'm thinking closer to 250k. Yeah your menzi powered truck would only run maybe 15 or so mph.... I think you like speed a little more than that!

Lakeland also has a Aebi terra trac tractor (also sold by the menzi dealer) and that thing would be pretty awesome just to run off road with no mowers on it also made to run steep hills and the seat adjusts to level no matter the angle! But also around 100k

Slightly out of my price range, but interesting. Thanks and have a Happy Holiday Season! Vic
