I'm not sure if this post is related to the forum. But i've thought that you might be interested on the pictures from the article.
The writing is about an old TLC FJ40 (called Odong odong, in local language) which work as daily (both goods and peoples) transportation for coastal area in West Java, Indonesia.
They reside about 150km from nearest spare parts shop. So for the business to continue, they must be creative with the vehicle.
Unfortunately the writing is in Indonesian language, but i've persuade the owner to include photo caption in english for your reading pleasure :smokin:

I think they've (ab)used their vehicle as hard as you all do :flipoff2:

Greets from Indonesia.

I can't read a word of it- but it appears to have a Metal-Tech cage:D

Poor thing. Looks like they are getting worked as they were meant to be though.
