This is the only "Wolverine" I've ever heard of or seen.




Negative--those are not a 'wolverine' like 4x4 rescue's photobucket account says...the two trucks you pictured are actually ' Breaker Breakers'

I walked over to a guy something like 20 years ago at Englishtown Raceway parking lot and asked him where he got this "rare piece of Toyota history" ? He got all indignant on me because he said he built it himself. Which I guess is possible. It had Dana diffs, but he never heard of Wolverine. Sorry I bothered you.

Here's an article about the truck in question, from toyotatrekker.com. Should answer many of the questions about this truck...

The more I read, the more they suck. I'll take one of these Wolverines over one of those any day of the week.

man, I saw at least three of those in northern az when I was living there! I just thought they were funky conversions people had done... Looked like weak axles and such, but if they're worth anything i'll keep an eye out for any in south az!
