***We had a deal worked out for this truck and traveled all the way from North Carolina to Alabama to deliver.  Not only did we get misrepresented by the buyer but we still have the truck and a big fuel bill.  There is a good chance you saw us traveling with this in tow this past weekend.  It's time for this thing of beauty to go somewhere it can be appreciated.  Sitting in our shop does it no good.  It was amazing the number of pictures taken while we were driving down the road at 70 MPH so this truck will get you noticed.***

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.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

New Toyota Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado/Canyon fight for midsize truck dominance

Sun, May 28 2023

Sam Wedll has been driving his Toyota Tacoma pickup on the rugged roads of Northern California for seven trouble-free years, racking up almost 100,000 miles, so he’s interested in the redesigned version of the truck coming later this year. He paid $34,000 for his truck in 2016, loading it with plenty of options. HeÂ’s eyeing the new gas-electric hybrid Toyota Motor Corp. is going to offer, but Wedll, who does his own repairs, isnÂ’t interested in paying luxury prices. “The hybrid is pretty interesting to me because I like the idea of the fuel efficiency,” says Wedll, 47, a casino operations manager in Blue Lake, California. “IÂ’m just trying to save some costs wherever possible.” The Tacoma, known as the Taco to its legions of loyalists, is the leader of the pack in midsize pickups, one of the fastest-growing auto markets of the past decade. With outdoorsy weekend warriors and do-it-yourselfers looking for a truck that could fit in their garage, sales of midsize pickups more than doubled from 2010 to 2020. General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., which abandoned the market segment when sales slowed early this century, returned with new trucks to take on the Tacoma, which has dominated the medium truck market for almost two decades. Although it's easy to predict that the most lushly appointed versions of the new Taco could approach $50,000 (prices wonÂ’t be announced until later this year), Toyota insists it isnÂ’t backing away from budget buyers even as it rolls out fancier trucks. The current Tacoma starts at $28,030, and the company says affordability is critical to its success. In fact, Toyota will continue to offer the Taco with an old-school stick shift. The Tacoma controls 42% of the midsize truck market and outsells FordÂ’s offering 4 to 1. ThatÂ’s a role reversal from the full-size pickup market, where FordÂ’s F-Series has ruled the road for 46 years. Tacoma sales in the U.S. surpassed 237,000 last year, more than twice the number of GMÂ’s No. 2-ranked Chevrolet Colorado, according to consultant LMC Automotive. But as growth in the overall segment slows, the midsize market is developing into more of a turf war, with manufacturers vying for the sweetest highest-margin spots. “This segment is likely past its prime growth spurt,” says Jeff Schuster, president of the Americas for LMC Automotive.

Subaru, Toyota refute reports of BRZ, 86 demise

Fri, Feb 1 2019

After news broke of an anticipated Japanese report telling that the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins were not long for this world, both carmakers have denied the cars' successors have been canceled. Carscoops reports that both Toyota and Subaru have stated they are developing next-generation cars. As a Subaru USA spokesman told Carscoops: "We do not endorse this report coming from Japan's Best Car. ... We are moving ahead with a next-generation Subaru BRZ, but have no further details at this time." The website also reported a similar statement from Toyota. With the models getting long in the tooth and no test mules having been spied, doubts are not unwarranted — remember just how long Toyota teased the fifth generation Supra before its 2019 debut. More information is not yet available, or whether the two brands will still collaborate to bring the new-generation coupes to the market, but for Toyobaru fans this might be grounds to breathe a sigh of relief. That would also mean, that if the hinted MR-2 revival is based on solid ground, there will be a full "Three Brothers" Toyota sports car portfolio for sale in the next decade. With the Supra offered also as a four-cylinder in Japan, it will be interesting to see if Toyota will retain the 86's current, slight power advantage over the Supra's 197-horsepower variant or respect the status of the bigger brother.
