"As the truck was intended to be both the ultimate off-road vehicle and one that could easily run around town"
And by my rough calculations 330 fuel capacity (x) ~6.0lbs/gallon for gasoline = roughly 2x the GVWR of a Double Cab Tacoma...+ military spec steel body panels...and no mention of custom chassis/frame...

I'm not too far off from that setup haha Just need some 44s" They also stole my dual tank idea!!!
They said it cost over 400k to build the thing, If that's true they got ripped... Maybe for all that fancy (useless) body work.
Also not sure how they go it to run off any type of "any type of unleaded gasoline" The Tacoma superchargers tend to only like 91+ Octane.
They also did a poor job on the front suspension, they left it stock with a spacer lift! No gussets, stronger steering, joints or control arms...
Running 44s with all that extra weight, racing across the most the most remote place on earth on stock IFS is just dumb! As they found out...

Wasn't that truck red before?
I saw a very similar one in England at a private party last summer...a rather crazy party..we camped right next to it.
Unfortunately the circumstances did not allow me to talk to the owner..
I have a couple pictures somewhere.

yours is waaay better built though. they just basically hung a bunch of crap on it...
$175K builds one heck of a prerunner.

Yeah, no kidding!
Not a Tacoma, but you get the idea...nice little run down on parts cost in here...
I would love to do a RC 8' bed version of this truck, with a Flippac.

The undercarriage show a mix of rust...greased up rubber...and black overspray...
This truck has extreme flip written all over it...
