Awesome looking, sounding, running, truck!
It's not perfect, but it's pretty sweet. It get's lots of stares, honks, thumbs ups, high-fives. I've had people chase me down and wave for me to pull over so they can chat about my truck.
It runs perfect. It's been highly modified to be the perfect daily-driver, and all-around fun truck to drive.
- Power Steering, very responsive, (maybe too fast ratio)
- Front Disc Willwood disc brakes
- *BRAND NEW* SBC 350 Crate engine, 1406 Edelbrock Carb
- Heavy-Duty Roll Cage
- Chrysler Chili-Pepper Red
- Bestop Rear Bench Seat, folds and flips forward
- Dual Exhaust, sounds bad-a$$
- Monster Toyo MT Open Country 33"
- Large Auxiliary Fuel Tank
- Rhino lined interior
Original fiberglass dome top is bare, and needs refinishing, but I'm including brand new cans of fiberglass resin, epoxy primer, and marine-grade fiberglass paint (bright white Rustoleum).
I'm including an old, but new and uninstalled, foam header for underside of the dome, but you'll need to glue it up. I was going to spray 2-tone ZOLATONE instead.
I'm including a big box of spare parts, mainly trim, mouldings, random caps, odds-n-ends, that came with the truck when I got it a few years ago.
I really would love to keep this truck, but I'm selling this truck, just because I do not use it as much as I should or would like to. It's not as practical for a family of 5. I think this would be a great summer truck. I've never taken it off-road, and never driven it in the rain. I've also never taken off the hardtop, or the doors. It includes a Bestop bikini top, and soft side doors (which I've never installed, but I have).
There are a few paint cracks and rust spots. There is a tiny rock chip in the driver-side front windshield glass. The Bestop rear bench seat is intact, and no holes in the upholstery, but the zipper needs to be fixed or replaced to make it fit right. The front pins are installed, and the bench will roll on those pins forward. The rear locking hardware is not installed, and the rear of the bench just rests on the carpeted rear floor.
I have lots of pics, but I need to get them posted up here.. in the meantime, I put a bunch of the most recent pics and video on YouTube, and I made a blog to organize my thoughts, videos, and pictures.
Please look here for all the information you need:

Thank you..

Redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra spied testing in Canada
Tue, 29 Jan 2013When Toyota first announced that it would be bringing the 2014 Tundra pickup to next month's Chicago Auto Show, we weren't quite sure if the truck would fall into the "all-new" or "refreshed" category. After seeing this latest set of spy shots, we're striking "all-new" from the record, but the enhancements do appear to be more than just a simple nip/tuck.
While the overall shape and greenhouse haven't really changed, heavy cladding found on the front fascia suggests that a totally redesigned nose is in store, with a fully reworked grille flanked by new headlamps. Smaller styling details are hidden by the big panels of camouflage, but we anticipate a few minor tweaks to the rest of the pickup's design when all that black tape finally comes off.
Mum's the word on powertrain enhancements (if any), as well as any changes that have been made to the chassis. But with the updated 2013 Ram 1500 already on the street, the recent unveiling of the updated 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, and a preview of what's to come from the likes of Ford, we certainly hope Toyota has injected enough new blood into its 2014 model year pickup to keep it competitive in this American-dominated segment. We'll know for sure come Chicago.
Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line
Fri, 09 May 2014Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.
