Toyotas in Sahara

Just got back from a 2 weeks trip in Marocco and Tunisia. And man there were so many Toyota Land Cruisers riding the dunes of Sahara. We rented one for few days and we had a blast. I can't describe you what is to like to drive these Toyotas though the desert and through the sand on 4X4. It was just simply awesome. And one of the picture is where Star Wars was filmed in south of Tunisia

 

That does look awesome!

 

Impossible! I was made to believe i needed to have 35s and long travel to go off-road!!


Sounds like a fun trip

 

Looks fun

I bet they run thicker oil out there in that heat

 

Looks like @reywcms country

 

There are lots of cool Toyotas available internationally that I wish we got here in the USA. That said, some Americans and Europeans choose Tacomas and - less frequently - Tundras to ship over to the old world because of the parts commonality they share with Hiluxes and Land Cruisers.

Examples:


Here’s a video about a Tacoma that has gone all around North Africa.

Here’s a couple that have driven a Tacoma across Europe and Africa.

I for one would love to do something like this someday!

 

Badass! That would be an experience

 

The second picture looks like a set out of Star Wars. Pretty cool.

 

Yeah that was the Star Wars set in south of Tunisia Sahara

 

Sounds great!! Thank the EPA and CARB for the bevy of disposable vehicles running around on our roads.
