New 2017 Build

Not here to comment on price. You're a dealer, do what you need to.

The fact that they let you guys build a real build for a "custom" truck is awesome. This looks like a real quality build with a quality suspension and tasteful mods. The retro graphics do look good, and I think you've accomplished what you set out to do.

 

The only thing I'd consider would be next time changing the wheels to match the retro styling. Something with a gold/brown/bronze

 

Those Bronze TRD Baja wheels might be the ticket.

 

Appreciate that very much, it's one of those things that's actually tough to price. All depends on how fast we really want to sell it. Nothing wrong with it sitting around a little while, everything is negotiable anyway.

It was fun to build, I can only sell so many beige Camry's before I need to do something different.

 

Do you know of an easy way to sell the stock stuff? I've got it all sitting in my parts department assuming there was absolutely zero demand for stock sport suspension and wheels.

 

I realize I was prob a little harsh on pricing earlier this morning and you are a dealership at the end of the day trying to make profit. I do commend you on building the truck properly instead of spacer lifts.

As for selling the pulled off parts Craigslist is where I sold my parts.

 

No worries! After 21 years in the car business my skin has gotten pretty thick I might try craigslist, never thought anyone would want that stuff. Thanks!

 

Awesome truck as it is, but would like to see it with machined finish w/black accent rims instead of all black.

 

The wheels someone wanted a second pair since they were putting 30k miles a year on his vehicle for work and want to keep his MT for off roading. Shocks were sold to a fella that was replacing his stock 2 gen suspension and wanted a little lift.

 

You could always offer a nice TW sale, you would be surprised at what folks are looking for.

 

Should buy it man. It's your build and a very nice one. Well done.

 

Are you able to duplicate those graphics and sell them? I'm interested!

 

Looks good IMO. Dig the old school meets new school look.

 

I'm not sure, let me see what I can find out. We did the design in house and sent it to a local signage place to cut and install.

 

Is that vinyl?

 

Truck turned out awesome! You wont have a problem at all moving it. Not everyone has the knowledge or desire to build a truck, someone will walk in ready to drop the cash. Throw the Sport wheels and grille on a cheaper equipped truck and throw the shocks on Craigslist.

 

Yeah, the charcoal and gray are a metallic satin vinyl and the orange is gloss vinyl

 

Love the orange accents!

 

Nice build.

Will anyone buy this out there? Wife's out from central PA. Lancaster Area. It's the land of full size an heavy duty's, I thought. When we went out there for christmas, it was all 150/250/350 , 1500, 2500's parked in front of their house, in the yard, on the field, etc for dinner. My wife's one uncle just bought a colorado because he's out on trails to hunt, and we had our taco. We were the only ones in the family with midsize pickups.

Looks good though.

my Wife's aunt works at a dealership out in central PA and I saw a great JK Rubi last year. went to look at it, maybe purchase, and by the time we got out there, they put a 6 inch lift, 315 tires, 2 inch wheel spacers, heavy ass bumper, dumb ass fender flares, and all this extra crap, so we said no thanks. nothing that would hold up with wheeling a JK Rubi: just crap to put stress on the driveline and suspension. her Aunt said it sat there for about 9 months until they sold it to someone from West Chester PA (figures). We were ready to buy it before all the stuff, but that deterred us. so got a Taco instead.

with something like this though, with exception of the TRD add ons, the other mods are something I WOULD want to do, so I think it's a whole different story. suspension and tires in line with something I would do, maybe with addition to the ECG bushings. Now if you put KC lights on a bed bar, I'm sold.

 

That is a nice looking truck. I would have bought it. I paid a little over $50k for mine modded from the dealership. Some people like the warranty that comes from a modded truck from the dealership. Some people have the money and want what they want right now.
