Toyota. Ya have to give this one 10 points

Note to self, Don't attempt deep-water crossing with a near-empty fuel tank !


;-))

Good reason to only buy new 4x4s Michael

Mate:
80 series what more can one say.
Dont think I will try that in the 200 though not with all those electrical thingys under the hood.

Go the 80. Still Toyotas finest

That is truly remarkable.

They do say that the 80 was the last of the best cruisers, this just confirms it.

What a machine!

We had the back floating a bit in the 100 until we fitted it out with drawers filled with cooking, tools and recovery gear in one and the "kitchen in the other. Add a fridge, roof rack and roof top tent and she sits down quite nicely. Even with the long range tank nearly empty.

I think he expected it the way he just continued. I bet he doesn't have any floor mats in it if that is the case.

A good reminder to us all. The eldest sons pootrool even floated a bit when empty inside and the tank low.

Good video.

Ya gotta give it to the guy... he selected reverse and backed up to point the nose in the right direction........Me, I would nave been out that window and sitting on the roof rack screaming....lol

OH WHAT A FEELING

Gday...

"unstoppable Toyota" or not .... I reckon that whacker broke at least half of the basic rules of a water crossing. He had more good luck than sense.

And as for engaging reverse, I'd love to know how long the clutch lasted after that day's stupidity.

Excellent. Why did I ever sell the 80.

The spare under the back also makes a floatation device.

Trying to look the location up on google maps, where is it exactly?

thanks
