So…just a question on the stinger rigs.
How in the hell do you maneuver with something like that? That looks convenient, but pretty cumbersome.
The only time you really notice it is when you are backing or passing someone on a two lane road.
When it comes to backing just go slow and do the opposite of what you normally do. Believe me, that is much harder than it sounds…

Tim they do have a tendency to cut the corner a little but it is not too bad. Swinging a little wider than normal certainly helps.
I will say one thing, you sure turn a lot of heads with the tandem rig!

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
That’s aftermath of a hit and run drunk driver.
As for the confederate flag, my truck will never, ever, ever adorn one as long as I own it. By the way, I’m from the dirty south.http://society6.com/grainfarmer Fly Fishing and Landscape open edition Photography prints.

Hi Mark, what’s that – one of the full size Toyotas ?

Yeah A 2006 Tundra double cab. The last of its kind 07 was the year the Tundra changed into a full sized.
Toyota was thinking of bringing the bigger trucks out here, but never got around to it because sales of the Hilux (1 ton -metric payload) were massive here.
I don’t like them much myself because i think they’re a bit expensive compared to what they’re competing with and softer then the old model off road, but I’m the exception – they have at times been the #1 selling car in Oz and have a huge reputation for reliability.
Here’s a review of the diesel – it costs around 55K on the road here.

David – Well, there are alot of cool rigs around here, but i didn’t think i had any shots of them until i remebered my brothers youtube videos of his truck. Its an 86 chevy that he rebuilt himself, has a 383 stroker motor in it at over 400 hp, and alot of torque. He has a blower for it with the big hood scoop that would put it close to 550 hp, but he was breaking to many parts in the driveline, so he had to take it off – bummer!
Remember, this is all in 2 wd too!

David,
No diesel HiLux sold here in the U.S. that I’m aware of. I’d have one in my garage if they were ever offered.
Thanks for the link.
I’ve owned five Toyota pickups with my first being a spanking new 1975 Hilux 4cylinder gas model. I put 200,000 miles on it before my wife ran it into an oak tree. I miss that truck.
