You got to be ˟˟˟˟˟˟ kidding me $20g's for a couple thousand dollar vehicle that pimp my ride painted and put some cheap ghetto parts in. Also there has been no mechanical work done to it. It will probably break down in no time.

Whats with the snorkel? It has a weber carb with open filter. How does the snorkel do anything but maybe a chick magnet.

i bet she couldn't afford to replace those big ass tires :-x nor the gas

but really, i wonder what MTV and West Coast Customs thinks of this...its going to be the craze...buy ˟˟˟˟ty car beg MTV to "pimp my ride" and then turn around and resell it for 10 times what you paid for you

but yeah youre right, most of the cars shown on the show have been pretty "riced out"...and stupid "customs" like water fountains? Maybe WCC should change its name to Water Fountain Customs...

It would be one thing to sell it to a friend or even in the local paper as a "nice LC" but to put it on ebay and brag about the WCC modifications done on it less than three months ago is mess up in my opinion. To each is own i guess. This could be a good lesson for WCC. Do their glam modifications truely improve the selling value of a car or do most people see that stuff for the bolt on crap it is? Good paint and interior work are cool but not every thing that gives are car its value. For me personally it is about a to b (will it get me there?) but obviously not every one feels the same way I do.

I guess they didn't like it as much as they expressed on the show!

They were all probably thinking "I can't wait to sell this ugly pos"

Are you kidding? WCC couldn't buy this much advertising! But it is hilarious about the open carb. I wonder how much other stuff was half-a$$ed?

She's probably gonna get a Jeep Rubicon!

What a joke...Based on the fact that another just showed up on ebay, I have to wonder whether the show has something to do with it- ie. they basically buy the vehicle back from the person, throw it up on ebay to recoup the cost of the parts, plus get additional advertising out of it?

That yellow Land Cruiser just won't go away, it's back on Ebay again. I guess the person who bid on it the last time backed out. Now the starting price is $25,000:

Well, I'm not impressed. Love the yellow, the dash looks neat, but the rest of it's a joke. But then, my ride is waaaay more pimped out than THAT!

the carb to snorkel , if i remeber fro mthe show the air box for the carb had a hole cut into it , and a flex pipe ( like the storm drain for your house ) was connected to the snorkel. other then all the bling like the tvs and the bamboo floor , and fountain and such i liked it , but that vehicle doesnt seem so practical for L.A. anyways , especcially since she was a yoga instructor. so much for the save the enviroment gee and all that.
i do love the yellow paint .
did you guys see the show , they replaced the seats with the ugly onesi n it , but took out the racing style seats , which had 4 point harness with them.

I emailed the seller getting real mad that WCC fix it up for her and now she is selling trying to make a buck. The email i got back surprised me. The sender said that the show was fake and made fun of me for believing it. If this is true i think that is just stupid.
