Remember an experience from far far away…
Where I traversed a stretch of gravel with a Porsche Cayenne. Nothing too dramatic but the car felt like it was going to shake itself to pieces at anything above 60 km/h. Mechanical sympathy would not allow you to go faster. The next year I was picked up by someone with a Patrol and taken across the same stretch of gravel. I was vexed because I felt we would have been so much faster over ice instead but the driver insisted. And lo and behold, the thing cruised at between 110 and 130 km/h over the same stretch and felt like a flying carpet. Truly one of the memorable drives / rides of my life 🙌🏻
Found Salman’s next car 😁🦾🇯🇵
Who could refuse a Toyota Mega Cruiser? One of the 133 civilian versions of the Japanese Self Defence Forces utility vehicle, with a 4,1l inline 6 turbo diesel, portal axles and 42cm ground clearance. Rarer than even the ABR 😁 Who else is in? 😊 Picture fr...
I think that…
It will perform admirably almost everywhere 👍🏻 As long as it isn’t too large for the environment being traversed.

Absolutely are 😁
Have you ever seen the Renault 4 movie with Jean Reno? The scene with the Toyota mechanic cursing why the silly French didn’t simply take the Land Cruiser was a classic 😂
Love it!
Did not know it existed, thank you for sharing! Now need to educate myself on what portal axles are!
These are popular this week!
A black one was on my YouTube feed yesterday. Very cool. Very h1
Oh yes 🦾
I first thought of the Solar Arnie he posted the other day but your suggestion is so much better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is it because I'm fat?
Others get small race cars and Exotics and I this house on wheels 🤣😁😄👍 😁😋🤣 this is very cool, always admired it, the 80 series Landcruiser is an attainable favorite as well, this is so rare. Isn't there a military connection as well? For their own indigen...
Indeed it is the civilian version of their military utility vehicle 🛻
I suggested it as you felt the Yaris GR was no good for the Hunza pass 😁
Very Cool 😊👍
As much as I love the Gr Yaris I know this bad boy can take a hit from a falling 2 tonne Boulder and get us back home safe Source: Google Images ...
I didn't know about that one
A guy in my neighborhood has an H1 complete with roof rack and desert paint, even by modern standards they are huge, must be a royal PITA to find a parking slot but it blows any supercar out of the water in terms of attention. I need to find out what kind...
In terms of attention it certainly is hard to beat 😁
A bit surprised that there would be an H1 there 😱
Yeah, of all the places here makes the least sense
Old pic near central Tokyo, barely fits in the lanes which are quite wide in that part of Tokyo by Japan standards: ...
One just needs to think of it as a lorry…
And then the size doesn’t bother one as much 😁😂
It is quite something indeed 😁🦾
Toyota seems to be large and profitable enough to occasionally allow for such projects 😉
A Landcruiser is one of those bucket list vehicles for me…
Don’t need one but want to have had one once 😁🤞🏻
