NEED INSPIRATION? Check out these rigs.....

[The Lovely Boyo]

Every year a large TOYOTA run is organised to the Moab Desert in UTAH, USA.

Check out these pics - it'll either inspire you or you'll be so depressed that you'll never work on your truck again.

Enjoy

Maybe started life as a BJ45?

Wouldn't have thought there was much of the original left by now - they ter them apart and 'we can rebuild him'!

I am depressed now at only having a stock Surf and inspired to do something about it.

The Yanks trucks do look different to a lot of ours. They go for a more minimal thing over there, I guess especially in the desert where there isn't really much rain etc.

Also I think we have to remember those trucks were built for that type of excursion. They look fun, but I'd rather have my stock truck for most things.

I'm sure a lot of you will have checked this, but on the YotaTech forums they have a pic thread which is quite enlightening. Some very smart trucks there, and some very 'characterful' ones as well!

spent a week of our honeymoon out there in Moab mountain biking, very knarly terrain and well know as a mountain biking mecca as the biking is super technical and great views
the rock is call slickrock, a very grippy sandstone when dry but different when wet

saw some 4x4 in action when i was out there, amazing to watch, there is one super scary looking ridge, very narrow whaleback of a thing, you wouldnt want to go wrong on it, long roll down in a truck
