US Special Forces Toyota's

These were posted on Tacoma World so I figured I'd share. I cannot confirm nor deny any involvement with any of these vehicles suspension systems, but if I could I'd say that they are shockingly capable at speed. Especially for weighing between 9,000lb and 12.500lb depending on the mission set.

Dope! Toyotas are the best.

Nice find. I imagine Bryan Kudela had something to do with those.

That's gnarly! Rad to go on a ship like that!

Crazy how the ship people tie the vehicles down!

Actually, that I don’t believe so with this project at least I never worked directly with him. Tommy Morris was a huge part of it though..

I heard somewhere that Toyota's truck requirement at one point was 30 years and 300,000 miles in a 3rd world country. Very cool!!

Are those some kind of Hutchinson beadlock? I dig the rear bumper

Yes they are 2 piece wheels. It’s roughly like a 32” tire load range E with tire balls but when I weighed them it was more than a 37” normal off-road tire/wheel.

Awesome trucks. You don't see the jounce bumps/shocks used very often but I hear they work amazing

In our experience, they actually were not very good. That’s why all the military stuff has now phased them out and gone to Fox bumps for most everything.
