Trade my Tacoma for this?

[barlowrs]

haha I wish!

As much as I love my taco, I must admit, I would be willing to trade her for one of these:

No that is not a modified hummer..YES that is a TOYOTA!

This is called the mega crusier. Appartenly it was only sold in Japan and mostly for military use

Wow, flashback. Havn't seen the MC pop up in a few years. What I would give for some serious seat time in a MC

 

[Cobra_R]

Wow thats pretty cool! Wouldn't mind having one myself :victory:

I guess the question that pops up for me is... Which came first? MC or Hum?

AM General Humvee

The Hummer H1 by 3 years and the HMMWV by over 10.

One of the neater features imo of the MC is the 4W steering, very practical in such a long wheelbase beast.

The Humvee has been around since the early 80's. AM-General was working with Mitsubishi on a humvee platform for the Japanese defense forces in the early to mid 90's. I don't think it really went anywhere...eventually Mitsubishi sold the line to Toyota.

The a-arms are a bit smaller and the ground clearance and cargo capacity is lower than the humvee but it has 4 wheel steering and a 4 cyl diesel.

It would definitely be a show stopper.

Looks to be built with work in mind...

 

[MillerPKA]

I'll take 2.

For that money though I'd rather have a G wagen

I never really liked the look of H1s or military vehicles. Don't really know why, they are usually hella beefy but I would rather have a built taco or cruiser anyday. Throw some non-OD green paint on this and I might change my mind.

How about a nice cool blue...with tracks? :smiley_drive:

Humvees were never designed for looks, but to have a 5000 lb payload, stack 3 high in a rail car and go wherever a tank can go (wide track/16+ in of ground clearance). I always liked the utilitarian look and function of many military trucks (especially the military g-wagons) -- they are all business.

I like this better:

It's not a styling issue that I have with them. The body style is great, super functional, nothing to get in the way, plenty of tie down points, and utilitarian. It's hard for me to explain, I think its more that I feel H1s are cliche offroad vehicles that people just assume are super awesome because the army uses them.

edit: oh and the ice blue is cute. I was thinking periwinkle mattracks would go nicely.

I know what you are saying. Humvees/h1's are pretty awesome in the hands of someone who knows how to wheel them...but like any serious 4x4 out today, most who drive them are posuers.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread about the Toyota...anyone ever drive one? I'd love to know how the 4 wheel steering works (I was thinking of getting that mod in my truck). Love to see the controls.

yup ive always liked the MC's, if i could get one i would, LHD of course.
