No wonder I can't find spare parts for my '86 Toyota half ton. It looks a little better than that one...not much, thanks to being nailed by a semi, but a little :)

No FWD, roll bar, or lift kit on mine though...pure stock.

A jeep probably could with the same alterations that were done to the Toyota.  Watch the film closely.  This was NOT a "stock Toyota".

Can be had for NZ$3k to NZ$5k over here. Only difference I saw was the roo-bars weren't wrap arounds and this is a flat deck which most farmers over here prefer.

Old toyota's are great. To bad the modern ones are not even close to that tough.

yes, old toyotas are famously reliable. that is why they are seen more than other brands in rough country like the middle east.

Friend knows the owner; gotta ask if it's having BJ42's chassis... most likely.

Staga, that certainly looks alot better than some of those TransAm and Corvette 4Wd setups I've seen before.

My jeep comanche parts truck went for 600k before we finally got a new one. We never parked it in the ocean or dropped it off a building but still.

Watch the end, they put in a simple perspex windshield after the tide ripped the original out so they could do the drive through of the shed on the track.

No cigar, but keep trying ;)
