Tercel 4wd rebuild on a TV show

[Mattel]

So i have just seen 'Mad Max - fury road' which was great fun and I was thinking about what a Tercel 4wd would like like in the post apocalypse. Then I found this. its from a BBC US show with English compares and is a bit of fun. Two teams compete against each other to make a 4wd racer out of 'normal' cars and win stages. Its a bit of a laugh and the Tercel sounds mechanically sick and competes against a suzuki 4wd but they give it a little bit of an advantage in the traction department.




Here's the link to the video!

Very cool the tracks cost between 3,000 for UTV to 10,000 grand For truck size.
Websight says the UTV is rated @3000 GVW.
Would be interesting to see the longevity of a set in real world use

The link wouldn't let me watch it.... Got another link?

I approve of the tracks, looks like it adds about a foot of clearance. If it were a sunroof car, I'd add a mount for a flame thrower/machine gun

that one should be called "Mad Max-furry road". What is with the dead animal parts?

that is awesome. and i lol'd at 'furry road.'

btw, i liked fury road too. it had a few lame moments but overall i thought it was really fun. the action was undeniable and it stayed true to the disturbing post apocalyptic imagery of the other flicks. i had been worried it was all going to look like a gap commercial with dusty people but there were plenty of wonderfully deformed, unattractive characters. even some of the crazy vehicles weirded me out -- such strange hybrids of multiple vehicles melded together. super creative.

I will not be able to call that movie "fury road" any more because of the image of that Tercel in my mind.

My wife and friends will think I am an idiot when I call the movie "furry road"...so I will have to explain the reference.
