That thing is so ugly! I'd take the turbo motor out and shoot/burn the body of it

I don't know. One of those could make a cool Trail rig if the bed was bobbed correctly and maybe slip the cab onto a stock shorter Chassis. I've seen them around, but never seen a clean one or gotten a very good look at one. The king cabs seem to be kind of elusive, like a Trekker. I'm pretty sure I still haven't seen a Trekker in Person. But I will!!! lol

I'm guess that like the Trekker, these were units Toyota sent to Winnebago for the conversion? And stretch, in the case of the King Cab.

That price seems a little steep for a rig that hasn't run or been registered in 10 years. Especially considering it appears to have been parked that long with a badly blown head gasket.

Need to get some headrests in that bad boy. the people in the rear seats would fly out in a rear end collision. That can't be factory. Look at the lines, it's sagging.

It DOES say "aftermarket quad cab conversion"

And yeah, its deff not worth $4500 with a blown headgasket, been sitting for 10 years, deleted DMV records aaaaand the murderous quad cab conversion.

My dad actually used to work for a toyota dealership and I actually had a conversation about this conversion last night, He said he cant recall the exact company that the dealers would send them out to, but they are technically aftermarket, but sold from the dealer like that. He also said when anyone would come in and ask for one he would get someone else, and that they werent done up very nicely, and made weird squeeks. On another note, Ive seen these on the net plenty, But the other day I saw one in person for the first time, It was ok, Too long for my tastes though...

I think it's kind of cool looking... just needs some chrome stacks up behind the cab and about 7 inches of lift and tires to match.

There is one that just showed up in my town. I know I shouldn't admit this, but I kinda want one! I know it's to long to have on the trails, but for some strange reason, I still want one!

As far as I know only the 4runners had a digital cluster. The pickups had an SR-5 cluster.

Your mom had a bench seat and a roll bar?

LOL. Sorry, but commas and proper punctuation make sentences much more understandable and much less funny.
