Summary by Krater

The Mighty Car Mods team performs a shakedown, interior detail, brake replacement, head unit upgrade, and timing belt replacement on their newly purchased, heavily used Toyota Hilux dual-cab diesel 4x4. They conclude that despite its rough condition, the Hilux provides a solid foundation for an off-road work truck.
