***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.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

Stellantis and Toyota expand partnership with large commercial van

Tue, May 31 2022

Stellantis said on Monday it would expand its partnership with Toyota Motor Europe (TME) with a new large commercial van, including an electric version. Stellantis will supply TME, a unit of Japan's Toyota Motor Corp, with the new vehicle for sale in Europe under the Toyota brand, it said. The van will be produced at Stellantis plants in Gliwice, Poland, and Atessa, Italy. "Planned for mid-2024, the new large-size commercial van marks TME's first entry into the large-size commercial vehicle segment," Stellantis added in a statement. The deal widens the partnership between the two companies and allows a better optimization of Stellantis' Atessa plant, which currently makes large vans sold under the Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat marques. "It represents an important addition and completes our light commercial line-up for Toyota's European customers," Stellantis said. Paris-listed shares in Stellantis were up 1.6% by 0941 GMT. Carmakers have increasingly been agreeing cross-manufacturing deals to reduce costs in vans, which due to a boom in parcel delivery are seeing large demand — and where electric vehicle versions are also seeing rising sales to carry out "last-mile" deliveries in city centers.
