That is way too awesome. What you did with Crashy is truly recycling at its finest!

She's still just FWD. I've plowed 39 inches of snow without an issue with her, so 4WD hasn't been necessary. It would be cool to import the parts from Japan to make her AWD, but that would require a bunch of expensive parts (Tranny with output shaft, drive shaft, rear axle with diff, etc.)

Yea; I remembered reading that it was offered overseas to have an awd model. ... That'd be cool as heck, but I think i'd rather have that on the regular Yaris than Crashy; not to diminish crashy's reckless abandon awesomeness in any way.

What's the story on this Yaris? Was it a totaled in a wreck?

Yes. I bought it wrecked off ebay for $632. I intended to part it out and pull the drive train and electrical systems for my test bench, but realized that I could make it roll, after I got it home, so it has evolved into a snow plow, dump truck, and soon to be 20KW generator Yaris. Here's the thread with the history:
