haha.... I know someone posted the Artic Hilux version, but I never saw it on the tacoma before. These guys actually sell the kits. It'd be nice to at least get hands on some of their mods/information!

they aren't real discriptive on telling what the kit comes with.

Those are not kits, they and they alone do the mods and install. They wont sell a kit either.

Nope, they sure wont, and even if they did, good luck with customs. It'd be nice to talk to one of the guys who owns one and find out what brands they used in the kit. Either that or email them for 'more detailed information' I'm sure the parts can be found.

There is a bunch of fabricating involved so it's not really a kit. On top of that there is next to no suspension travel. Looks great and works well when used as intended. As a daily driver my bet is it would suck.

I emailed them about the light bar they have on their Tacoma. It was around $750 US before shipping. I'd rather get an all pro bumper for that much

They are sweet looking, a lot of fabrication involved, I saw on another site that it was a 48 grand conversion. Not sure if it would be worth it in the states for everyday use. Definitely built for dunes or glaciers.

To each his own.... I can't stand your desert runners :P Pretty much no part of the truck left after that. You'd be better off going to the junkyard and buying a frame, working up from there.
