The fact is,
1. It's a Toyota and runs forever.
2. Factory solid axle up front for better articulation while wheeling it.
3. Quality is more heavy duty through-out than a Toyota truck or 4Runner.
4. Very easy to mod for even heavier duty off road.
5. The chick on Alias on ABC, Jennifer Gardner drive a maroon cherry shaped one in her TV series.

 

Dang, I just saw this post. Too bad it's gone, I was stoked to go take a look at it! It was only about 4.5 miles from my house. When I go by, I'll see if it's still there.
