Radical pursuit of perfection

The year is 1989 and Toyota unquestionably has the biggest ace up its sleeves in a game of poker against Mercedes and BMW. Enter Lexus,

Unbreakable: 2005 Toyota Hilux resto rebuild

The red TRD pro-esque 2005 Hilux came to be an adventitious decision by Fahmid Ishtiaque Ahmed, as he wanted to fish for something unique in a sea of numerous Defender and Patrol builds. This sweet 4x4 is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. I am sure Marty McFly would be proud.
