Toyota's in warzones...
http://www.newsweek.com/photo/2010/10/14/toyota-trucks.html
Its the AK47 of trucks, can't be a respectable freedom fighter without one!  My friend had an 87 inn HS, couldn't kill it. Never changed the oil, spark plug wires arcing everywhere, but it always ran.

they are NOT freedom fighters. They are terrorists.

Are the individuals not worried about their safety
? Where are the seat belts? Wonder if the air bags are operable? Where are the ambulance chasing lawyers? It is a shame the US gov't won't take note and realize that cars can be operated safely without these devices that add weight and cost to vehicles. For my everyday automotive needs I can get by with a four wheeler but I can't legally go into town with it. It goes a long way on a gallon of fuel.

Jim,
You are lucky with your 4wheelers. Over here they are trying to mandate roll over protection on them.

Problem is the US$ is weak & the AUS$ is strong. I guess the Taliban will need to sell some extra heroin to pay for them. It definitely beats a hummer !! As your leader says, best take a gun to a knife fight. I would rather be in one of those bushies than a beat up hilux !! Just like hattie would rather a AK47 than a 9mm !!

On post overseas, they're a main stable of contracted lease vehicles. Invoice price paid (that my eyes fell across) was $7500 per month, per vehicle, maintenance extra...
They were in much better shape then the ones pictured though... ~Nate
