[bnCOD]

This is a true Motor Sport.

Did the gearbox freeze ?

[cheekanuble]

international waters, you can get drunk while driving as well as high, doesn,t matter

[greatroads]

Brilliant video thanks for sharing, toyota reliability does it again !

[ostbiti]

Women, they even comb their hair to make themselves pretty on the south pole :D

[Ajima987]

amazing work

[42077fernando]

THEY MIXIT WITH DIESEL SO IT WOUNT FREEZE

[kpkp123]

thats sweet that they run these trucks on Jet fuel instead of regular diesel. It would be a lot easier to come by in antarctica

[vfthb098]

@GTAking01 have you forgotten antarctica?

[witecracker2]

they got some serious antifreeze in their blood, lol id never make it .25 percent of the way, im from miami...

[verado275]

Likeeeeeee......

[LRK29485]

I want one, or I want to do the same modifications to a different truck. Chevy Colorado?

[taboch]

this is my dream vacation

[jimmyrx8]

@taboch My dream vacation too

also south pole

[GTAking01]

south pole is all water nearly im sure this videos north pole

[alexrex20]

@GTAking01 other way around, buddy.

[GTAking01]

@alexrex20 its confusing =)

[Embla2010]

Looks like it was a nice ride and a good change from the glacier/highland driving back home..

Hversu langan tíma tók ferdin ?

[djn00nan]

im goin out on a limb, but you could probibly get away with driving stoned out there lol

[arachn1dinshoe]

@djn00nan hahahaa... best comment!

[donaldjamesperry]

What happened to the trans and how did you fix it?

[guntardnet]

What happened to the empty fuel barrels? Did they leave them there or pack them out?

[lrdwild]

@guntardnet They got picked up by plane/chopper prolly' anyways it was bio Diesel...

Cool. So, transmission issue aside, it didn't look like it was too tough.

[okuma0kuma]

surprized plain air is used on tires would thought some type anti freezed foam would be used

[John27346]

air doesn't freeze at these temperatures

[okuma0kuma]

but the moister in the air tanks will

[John27346]

OK.

[TJvigilante]

@okuma0kuma No moisture present if the tanks are filled with dry air to begin with, as mentioned above. They don't go in there with pre-filled tanks...they have compressors on-board. If there's no moisture going in, there's no moisture coming out.

[TJvigilante]

@okuma0kuma what, because air is nonexistent at the south pole?

air is air, and pressure is pressure, regardless of the temperature. You just need more air molecules to get the same pressure at a lower temperature.

Also, cold air is relatively dry because water is less soluble in air at lower temps. therefore, there's little chance of any air condensation and freezing in the tires if they're already being filled with dry air.

[okuma0kuma]

i was just curious about 2 things as placing something like balloon in cold temperature would shrink but soon as temperature rise balloon expand meaning storing vehicle in warm section of a building/hanger could make a loud bang then there was curiosity of water particles crystallizing forming equivalent to sand texture which would grind tire layers from inside out of the tire ! ,who said anything about no air in the south pole ? lol

[TJvigilante]

@okuma0kuma The point I was making is that you claim that you'd need anti-freezing foam to fill a tire in a place that's got plenty of air already at freezing temperature.

Ice isn't hard enough to damage tires unless you drop the tire on a sharp ice ledge. Crystals won't wear a tire down. If anything, the tire's flex would heat it up enough to melt the crystals as they touch it. You won't get ice crystals if you fill the tire with already-cold air. and the tires can take a lot of heat expansion

[trahcceb]

@okuma0kuma the compressor will warm the air, but its already cold air being drawn in, the water has been frozen off, and if it does get in, as long as the condensation on the inside of the tyre doesnt create iceblocks to unbalance the tyre - theres no issue.

[okuma0kuma]

thanks for info trahcceb

[TheBullitt1990]

u guys got room for one more on your next trip? :P

[AcePilot101]

Awesome!! I own a Toyota Tundra!!

[zjbeast]

its a hilux but they are kind of the same....

[lazygamerz]

now THATS a road-trip :D

[foxtrot089]

i want to go on a trip like that one day

[Kiezila]

you are really tough guys

[thi6666]

crazy

[kylekemp70]

LOOKS LIKE FUN!
