***ALL SNOW PICS WERE TAKEN BEFORE POWDERCOATING AND CHROMING....THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SHOP KEPT ALL IT'S MODIFIED YEARS***

LEGALLY DRIVEN IN NORTH CAROLINA!!!!  Check with your local DMV for registration requirements...we only had to add headlights under bumper.  I have driven this truck to my work which is an hour away with major highways as well as high traffic.....

The truck was completed by Jason at KatKustoms in NewKnoxville Ohio. Additional pictures can be seen at his website www.katkustoms.com. Front & rear 3-link suspension on 16” travel king coilovers for smooth ride. The subframe and links are made of .120 and .250 wall DOM for strength. Front & rear sway bars using DOM and heim joints down to trussed & smoothed D60 axle housings. The axles were custom built units from Custom Differentials that used new 1 ton Ford D60 center housings (front axle uses Chevy outer knuckles) cut down to 65” WMS-WMS with disk brakes with 6 X 6.5 bolt patters. Both axles have lock right lockers and 5.38 gears installed. PSCHydraulic steering system, including the high flow pump, to steer Mickey Thompson 46x19.5/16.5 tires on 16.5X14 Weld Scorpion wheels. The steering is a Z linked steering system designed by KatKustoms.com and provides no binding or bump steer throughout the full suspension travel. The 4-wheel drive uses Tom Woods driveline shafts mated to Dana 24 divorce mounted transfer case. A custom machined rotor is matted to the rear output of the transfer case and used as the driveline emergency brake. It will hold great at extreme angles. Every suspension part is painted red or chrome plated. The engine is the stock 3.4L V6 with AFE intake, JBA headers, magnaflow high flow converter, Gibson muffler and the entire exhaust is jet hot coated. The frame was smoothed and painted Toyota silver prior to reassembly.

 

Body mods include a custom cowl hood, bushwhacker cutout fender flares, shaved tailgate handle, snugtop carpeted bedcover, custom 26 gallon fuel cell recessed in the bed and AFE bed cover. Both the tailgate and cover are connected to linear actuators and operated with a remote. Front grill and bumper also have been updated to include billet inserts. There are two small dents, one under the door from my knee. This happened before I learned how to get in it. LOL The other is a small crease in the top of the tailgate were I backed into the tool box. 

 

The interior includes miscellaneous billet pieces for the vents, power window switch covers and several other pieces. I have an A pillar gauge pod but have not installed any gauges in it yet. The head unit is a Pioneer unit with a motorized 7” TV. Otherwise the interior is all stock.

 

The truck drives and handles great on the road. It is not a caddy but it is easy to drive once you get used to it. It has won awards in every show entered including best of show, best engineering etc. The truck was also filmed with ESPN 2.  Winning bidder is responsible for arranging delivery or I can possibly deliver for fuel cost.  Very motivated seller!!  Contact me if you have any questions.  If you have any knowledge in builds you know I have much more money invested in this build however, my kids are now into horses and this doesn't quite pull our horse trailer.  I can email videos and give you the direct contact info for the fella that help do the modifications.

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.

2014 Toyota Tundra to debut at Chicago Auto Show

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The fullsize pickup market is dominated by trucks from Ford, General Motors and Ram, but this segment could get some hefty competition in coming years. We've already reported that Nissan is planning a redesign of its Titan truck for 2015, and now Toyota has announced that it will be revealing the 2014 Tundra next month at the Chicago Auto Show.
In the brief press release posted below, Toyota says that the 2014 Tundra will be "redesigned," but it's unclear as to whether this means we'll be seeing an all-new truck or just an extensive refresh. The current Tundra design has been around since 2007 and sales are hardly worrisome to the Big Three, so a new design would be a logical guess.
In any case, we only have to wait a couple more weeks for the new Tundra to debut on February 7, and we'll be on hand to bring you plenty of live coverage from the show.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
