    Interesting article, I thought I'd share. Link HERE

    "Two rare 79 Series Toyota Land Cruisers spotted near Laramie on I-80 turned heads of auto enthusiasts. These vehicles aren't legal in the U.S. and are often seen in the Middle East equipped with rocket launchers, machine guns, and other weaponry."

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    This is proof that the state of Wyoming is boring as shit. Two Toyota trucks on the back of a truck made the NEWS. It wasn't a short blurb either, it was a full (and boring) story.

    Yes, Wyoming is terribly, terribly boring. The people of Wyoming agree with that assessment and would like to emphasize that at no time, should the fun loving people of California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado and New Mexico go to Wyoming for any reason.

    How about the older boring mostly retired folks who just cross the border temporarily to visit a few of the casinos in Cheyenne? I'd relocate up that way, but it would cut into my part time work/fun money unfortunately.

    Really, these are going to be dissected for their military secrets??? Gimme a break lolz.

    The whole point of these land cruisers is that they are cheap farm trucks and simple as an oxcart. They’re loud, and uncomfortable and run forever because there is zero crappy tech fluff on them that will break. How do they maneuver? What? Two solid axles with leaf springs all around. My guess is that they maneuver like crap.

    Something tells me that the importer quoted for this article is getting ready to receive a few container-fulls of these to sell on craigslist.
