For truck aficionados

I saw several of these modular trucks in Laos. A basic frame and steering assembly with a motor that can be mounted in a variety of places. Loud, slow but functional.

It would be safer just to take the Hilux in the back

Rock crawler. I'm going to pick one up and head to the Rubicon!

That actually looks like a really clever and practical idea. It appears to be a very well made chassis, and while I'm sure it's 0-60 time would make even James May roll his eyes, I'm guessing that it will go over most anything.

Laos has an execrable road system and traffic regulation is essentially non-existent outside of Vientiane or Luang Prabang. These trucks seems like they are used only for heavy, short-distance transport of just about anything/anywhere.
