    Damn that's a nice truck...:drool: I love the manual shift for the T-case. Bed is a little short though.

    Anyone else think it looks like a Tundra gene spliced with a Tacoma and last-gen Celica?

    How do I get my hands on one of those steering wheels and shifters? I saw that some time ago and emailed a dealer in Melbourne. I never heard back from them.. :(

    Tacoma is essentially Toyota's name for the Hilux in the US. They're basically the same truck. So yeah...you could definitely make a godzilla Tacoma like that if you had the money to sink into it.

    There are some glaring differences between a Hilux and a Tacoma.
    Let's not compare them. Instead let's be happy with their differences. :D
