This has nothing to do with a charging rhino, but my oldest son is an auto-body tech at a private shop. He works on all brands of cars and pickups and he told me when straightening a Toyota on the frame rack he has to be very careful because they are fragile and can be pulled way too far. I don't remember what brand of car he said, but whatever it was actually strains the frame puller it is so rigid. One end of the spectrum compared to the other.

A few years back I flipped a 2004 Toyota Tundra end over end in the snow and landed on it's wheels in a field. The roof was partly smashed down and the side windows shattered. It started right back up, shifted in to reverse engaged the 4 wheel drive. I mashed my foot to the floor and got through the ditch and the snow bank back on to the road. Then I pulled a Jeep Wrangler out of the ditch and drove 45 miles home with no problems what so ever.
Surprisingly, there was no frame damage and I walked away unscathed.

If you've never spend the 15 minutes watching it, the Top Gear Hilux episode might be one of the greatest they ever did.

I do love my Toyota's. Wife's FJ has 208,000 miles on it and my Tundra just turned 60k. I figure we're good on vehicles for the next 250,000 miles.


Regards,

Robert
