Viral video proves Toyota Land Cruiser can’t be killed
This viral video proves why the Toyota Land Cruiser and its never-die attitude is favoured by those venturing into the most trialling terrains.
Donned in traditional, boxy bodywork, the Land Cruiser has become a staple of durability and reliability. From farms in South Africa to dunes in the Middle East, the aged albeit refreshed model is a firm favourite with its buyers for its no-quit attitude. Several viral videos on social media show mangled bakkies moving on their own steam down a road and into a Toyota-branded building that could be an Arab dealership. Details are limited but it is presumably somewhere in the Middle East where these undying bakkies have found themselves.

Both videos show the models in single-cab and double-cab guise trundling down the street with severely damaged bodywork. Caved rooves, buckled A, B and C pillars and flattened load beds constitute the external damage visible. By no means road legal yet still able to move in a relatively straight line.

Tafheet, colloquially known as Arab drifting or Saudi drifting would likely be where these bakkies had their bodywork unwillingly re-moulded. The type of street racing subculture has non-modified vehicles of all shapes and sizes being flung across several highway lanes, with traffic, barriers and spectators all within a few metres of the dangerous theatrics. Based on the severity of the damage seen in these videos, this would be the likely reason as opposed to a rollover on the soft sand dunes of the region.
