Anyone ever see a Tacoma like this?

I'm on an outside detail today at work, and this thing parks in front of me. Anyone ever see anything like it before? He says it's a supercharged 2012 front end and a Hilux rear end. He also says he has Icon stage 5 suspension. What do you guys think?

 

yes, that is a heavily modified Tacoma designed to fit within a shipping container and to be an Expo vehicle, give me a minute and ill have the thread for you.

Edit: here it is http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/77748-Containerized-Retromod-Global-Tacoma

 

Not crazy about the taillights, but otherwise it's badass.

 

That thing is dope as hell.

 

that thing is BAD ASS! colors not my favorite though

 

nice, first that ive seen of this. thanks for sharing.

 

i really love how the ass end is chopped off

 

I just talked to the guy for a little. I asked if he was on the TW forum, he said no but he's on the expedition portal once in a while and he's not a big Internet guy. I like the truck. That's a lot of custom work. Thanks for the link Gaunt596. Good build and story behind it.

 

Thing looks pretty sturdy. A few years back I was in Peru around the Andes mountains and one of our guides had a hilux. Everyone was taking pics of the mountains and other scenery while I was walking around the hilux taking pics. The truck was awesome, the guide was very proud of it too.

 

I like all of it EXCEPT.............the way the spare blocks the rear view mirror. The cover is cool the way it is done but might as well have a solid back window and a rear view camera mounted under that headache bar. Other than that, wow, super cool one-off badassery. Lovin the "123" license plates. Look at how the front one is different from the rear one but both 123.......

 

NP, stumbled across that thread looking at taco parts, that pretty cool that you got to see it in person

 

That looks awesome ! Props to the guy for doing all that work

 

The mythical Access Cab Short Bed.

 

BEAST MODE ENGAGE!!!

 

Large tires, ugly front end, no suspension uptravel, flimsy sliders, and a bobbed bed.

 

go look at the build thread... its all well done, and the whole thing fits into a standard shipping container to travel anywhere in the world

 

Unique, one-of-a-kind, tasteful and practical mods, built to suit the owner's needs, to each his own...it seems more capable than some of the other Tacos out there with similar "dime-a-dozen" mods (my truck included).

It's hard to be innovative nowadays, and this guy definitely pulled it off.
