Isn't the plural of Hilux = Hiluxen
I guess you'd have to be a Unix geek to get that...

The front guards / flares have been cut larger on that hilux and looks like they are running beadlocked 34 or 35's....

I don't know if it's really plastic, it just looks that way to me.Originally Posted by soonenough
Haha whoops, so much for my wierd never-before-seen front bumper theory. I guess I got so caught up in all the drooling I lost my grip on reality
[OffTopic] I had no idea that HDPE was being used for vehicular armor. That's a pretty cool application for plastics. I used to work at a Polyethylene plant that made LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE. It's a pretty amazing process; the chemical reaction runs at just under 30,000 psi and 900*F, which makes for some really interesting equipment and piping challenges [/OffTopic]
I think I'm going to buy some 1/4" HDPE from a local plastic store. I want to use it to cover my skid plates and make some door protection panels (better looking than rub strips).

I saw D-9 and when I got home, I went online and started looking for those trucks. They are SICK!

Photos of those trucks are near impossible to find... I grabbed those images from videos of trailers and interviews..

Yea I was wondering where you found those...I looked everywhere online after I saw the movie and I couldn't find anything. Thanks for posting!
I think that's why I liked it so much; it was one of those rare movies that as you're watching it you're thinking "wow, I've never seen a movie like this before." In that sense it kinda reminded me of Cloverfield, which I also really liked, probably for the same reason.
