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..

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota 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.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards 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.
Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
