I got two and modified one, bigger tires, chopped the fender wells and mudflaps, and tinted the windows darker.

I collect Hot Wheels and Matchbox and every once in a while I'll buy people matchbox/hot wheels cars of their vehicles. My boss has an '84 4runner and while looking for one for him, I ran across this:

http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2012...toyota-pickup/

Number 32 of the 2012 "Hot Ones" series. They just came out and I haven't been able to find one in my local stores or online yet. If anyone can find them in their store and wants to sent me three or four, let me know.

Haha no I touched it with my finger before it was dry! Plus the touch up paint I used wasn't adhering well at all!
