    There is a rumor that he sued toyota for using one of his watermarked photos of his truck. He is a professional photographer. He posted about being very angry that they used his pic without permission. I'm not sure how the rumor started. If you google the lawsuit, only one different lawsuit comes up. Nothing more. Because of that, I don't believe it ever happened.

    Check out his IG. He's more active there. @lawndartdesign

    Lawndouche sued Toyota for using one of his pictures at an auto show (IIRC)...and they settled. Lot of zeros on that payout.

    Why isn't there any documentation of the lawsuit on the public record though?

    It'll look close to what you saw. I made some minor changes to the corner to slim it up a little. She was fat in the bottom. I'm still going back and forth on swingouts. Might just offer both. Single or dual swingout.

    Yeah but I'm pretty sure the second you file a lawsuit, it becomes public record. It will just mention settled on it and not have a dollar amount.

    I like the idea of dual because it's less stress on the welds where the pinion is.

    Because it's a civil case that was settled pre-trial. When you take it to trial, court documents become public.

    But if you want to find out what else he's been under the spotlight for criminally...google his name and read the first link.

    That makes sense. I always thought that the second it was filed it became public. I have seen the other case.

    So how do you and everybody know he sued toyota is my question? I totally get that it could have happened but how did everybody find out?
