From what others have said of you, if anyone could do it in that time frame, it would be you.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
that shouldnt fit in a Toyota.Example 1:A complete 1UZ V8..... in the back of a short wheelbase 2door Rav4.Collected it and drove the thirty or so miles home hoping it wouldnt eject itself Example 3:A draftsmans table in an LS400, it wouldnt fit in the trunk so I had to improvise.
That sure looks heavy? Lot of steel You got there.
Ive not weighed it, however its to take a ton on the back of it as per standard long bed. As it is its not much heavier than a stock longbed. But dangit i gotta know now.
I can't think of any 4-wheeling terrain where extra vehicle weight has ANY advantages?

Gnarls I think you're still stuck in the sand life. I'd rather be heavier than lighter. I'm not saying I'd want a tires stacked up on the roof or anything but if you can get extra weight to lower the center of gravity, it's a plus IMO. this is why short course guys fill their tires with water
Unsprung weight off road is good. Lots of rock crawlers that compete run lead shot innthe tires. However, keep everything else light.
what you must also take into consideration is that over 'ere the Hilux does the work of an F350. They are not a show pony. All the utility companies use them, farmers, builders, mechanics, welders, you name it... Hilux. Bales, tons of sand, logs, pallets of whatever and if it goes over weight it has a handy reduction box to pull the extra two tons....So toughness and functionality becomes more important. Theres space on the back of this for two pallets. whilst strong enough to take a beating from trees cattle and forktrucks, especially forktrucks cause i have yet to meet a forktruck driver.
Yeah for sure.... being heavy, long, high, and fairly narrow is the key to wheeling the local trails.
Nah, that ain't over kill. Over kill is mine, 2x2 1/4 Wall main frame, 1 1/4x1 1/4 1 gauge sub frame, 1.75x.120 tubing for sides and an 11 gauge sheet with a drop off plate. ... at over 600 pounds.
