Very interesting find.


Me, I'd prefer the Aussie Yodas:

That bottem pic has some montero body lines, and notice the torsion bar front suspension.
But in the second pic it looks like a SA.

Thats a weird yoda.

I think the last picture shows suspension links not torsion bars.

From Toyota's own website,

FRONT SUSPENSION:
Rigid live axle, leading arm, coil springs, dampers and anti-roll bar

The rear leaves are leaf under axle like the 2wheel drives.
The front is definitely coiled but im still sayin thats a weird yota.

Here ill make the comparing easier.

Doesnt that look more like a monty then a yota? Front doors and forward of coarse. Anybody?

Buddy of mine had one of those with a 3'' BL and you could see the torsion setup on the front end.

Over seas trucks got that bed in later model trucks. Guess it wasn't nice enough for the US.

Edit: notice the redundancy?
