- For 17 years, PPI and Ivan "Ironman" Stewart ruled the intensely competitive world of off-road racing.
Of their 88 total victories, four Baja 500's and one Baja 1000 were accomplished using chassis number 015. Built in 1993 to replace PPI's aging 010 chassis, the 015 would become the Master's thesis and, ultimately, final product of a remarkably successful off-road team. This video was produced to commemorate the restoration of 015.

Thank you Ivan and gang! I met Ivan in 1989 and he is truly a gentleman. I will always be a fan of Toyota whether its playing in the desert sand or on the rocks of Moab. Thanks again for so many great memories!
I got to crew for Ivan when he drove Charlotte & Coco Corrals Ford. What a great man and great friend. Jim S.
People used to laugh at the Japanese when they were trying to enter these off road cars/trucks. But after a while the tone began to change when they started winning races. My dad has a 1982 4x4 Toyota pickup and everyone that sees it wants to buy it for cash right now. Why? Solid Axles, and the short wheel base. Toyota was way ahead of it's time back then. No one can deny that. Ford and GM actually engineered some of their later vehicles based on the Japanese designs. I'm not siding with either of them, I am just saying when you have drive, determination, and a willingness to engineer something better - Hard work always pays.
LoudNProud and Thanks to Mr.Toyota 👏🏻
Very true. They were way ahead of their time. They perfected the small engine/small truck package. I grew up a huge Ivan Stewart fan....who wasn't? Then I gravitated to Chevy when I was a young teen and haven't looked back. The baja races of the 90s were huge. I remember the Nelson&Nelson trucks with Ragland winning the 1000 for 3 straight years from 95-97 in the Chevy thunder truck. Ford stirred the pot introducing the Raptor, now Chevy has the ZR2 with the ZRX on the horizon. Ram has the TRX coming, and Id like to see Nissan build their Warrior concept, but they are really struggling with sales right now. Will Toyota then follow suit....time will tell!
FOCUS, COMMITMENT AND SHEER WILL.
Just bought the die cast replica on eBay , it’s always been one of my favorite trucks 👍🏻
That truck was way ahead of its time.
the lovers of the off road in baja calif. sur, remember the great Ivan Steward, as one of the best runners until today, may God continue to bless him

So what happened to all the goodies Trd developed for the 1uzfe. What a shame
Who ended up buying 015? Who owns it now anybody know?
i want to see Ivan in the next Baja 1000 :(
In regards to purchasing them for personal use...
Toyota is definitely the best! In engines and style 👍🏼
Toyota = Bulletproof
Tested. Tried. True.
I am impartial to names. If any other company built trucks as well or better than Toyotas, then I'd drive them. I don't care about names.
But nobody else does build a vehicle as consistent and reliable as Toyota. So I drive Toyota.
At 28:00 he's running between stoddard to outlet center I ran my buggy over 100mph through that same road!
the L
Toyota make any new ones? Im waiting for it man
IVAN!!!!!! where are you??????
Where did the 010 ended?
I'm only here to look for what happened to Peter Miles after watching Ford v. Ferarri.
What motor is that at 7:30? If thats a 3VZ I'm going to shit myself.
That’s exactly what it was. 3L 300HP DOHC V6. About 1993 or so they got the 5VZ-FE 3.4L 360HP engine that ran until 1996 when they got the first Lexus race tuned V8 in 1997
so coo
i hope nothing happens to o g ivan ironman stewart
IVAN IRONMAN STEWART IS THE BEST OFF ROAD RACER
Your band of brothers....the band that you broke apart because desert racing wasn’t bringing in the big bucks like nascar or Indy?
Absolutely false..your not educated in offroad
PPI builds a more reliable vehicle than Toyota!
What the heck is PPI?
