I have returned loyal readers! I hope you guys didn’t miss me too much. It was a long week and the traveling was insanely tedious, but my trip to Salt Lake City, UT was pretty awesome overall. I got some stuff from Salt Lake that I want to upload but I am swamped with work because I missed a week and have three exams in two days so I have to work on that. I will get the Utah post up tomorrow. For today I wanted to post a picture I saw on a Scion forum that I thought was pretty awesome.
I suspect this is a Toyota Land Cruiser, but I am not certain. In case you didn’t notice the tracks, they are the best part of this ride. Reminds me a lot of the Gangster HiAce I posted a long while ago. The tracks even have the Toyota emblem on there. I wonder if these are some sort of factory option somewhere.
Utah is my home state (must mention I’m originally a socal kid)! Can’t wait to see what you did in Ute. You should have gone to World Finals at the Salt Flats!

I was born in UT.
That thing is bad ass! LOVE IT.
So apparently from reading on a few landcruiser forums (mostly over sea’s) that this is the company that makes the tracks for all kinds of vehicles.

Tractors, Full Size Pickup’s, Diesel Pickup’s etc.
They best I could find out about them being offered by Toyota was that Off-Road Magazine met with Toyota’s people from TRD and Genuine Toyota Parts and MattTracks who last discussed making them a dealer option in 2007. The article never said if they made a deal or not however.
Awesome work man, thank you for the info.
No worries man, thanks for producing a pretty banging blog. Just happy to be able to pitch in a little!
