Yes, this was a picture of the old Downey Off-Road ski wagon. There was a brochure out there of the stuff they offered. I spoke to the guy that owned Downey before they went out of business and he told me the story behind it. It turns out this Tercel you see in the picture was one of those pre-production crusher cars, after his time with the car was done, Toyota was going to crush it along with the parts. I had no idea they did that.

Re: 13" off road tires? help a brothah out! haha
that is really the hard way to get a better engine and more durable transmission. I have seen a you tube video of something similar, a Tercel4wd with big tires up in the air like that. You can see enough of the frame in the video to know it looks like a truck chaises under the body.
