interesting swap...

Definitely not my thing. Props to them for the idea though.

 

cool idea, not my thing either .... wayyyyyy overpriced

 

Towed 7,000 pounds at 85mph and got 16-18mpg? 18mpg around town.... Im skeptical of that...

 

Yah, I knew this guy was an idiot when he mentioned towing at those speeds. Thanks for being a moron and endangering everyone around you. I'm sure that vehicle is real set up for that kind of towing.

 

Oh man, what a disappointment, I pictured an LS400 sedan with a Duramax, that would be cool.

 

Sort of a "bling - bling" thing overall...suprised he risked those pricey rims going off road...

Definetly not for me.

 

That reminds me of the SUV Boot Camp on the movie Cars (at the end of the movie), and the Hummer with the "24's" was complaining "aww man! I got dirt in meh rims!"

 

What is so inherently dangerous about towing that fast? We have semi's "towing" 90k+ lbs at 70-75mph daily, running hundreds of thousands of miles a year without incident. The true moron is the guy with the camper doing 20mph slower than traffic, with the illusion he's being "safe" while in actuality he's the road hazard. The safest speed is the average speed that the majority of traffic is flowing, and people who are speeding tend to be paying more attention than those day dreaming slowly. If you feel that the "average speed" is too much for you to handle, do everyone else a favor and stick to the back roads. Also that vehicle is rated for 6500lb towing capacity, so if you think that extra 500lbs on a trailer is a big safety issue you don't have a clue.

 

Pretty cool swap if you ask me it would deff trun my head if I saw a huge cloud of black smoke coming from a Lexus. Not much on the 20's or 2 mufflers.

 

The only picture of the engine could have been from any vehicle....

 

I showed that to my wife and she abought went nutz. She loved it. I gota admit I would drive it. I think it looks prety sweet. I like things like that, that no one else would have. I fiond it kinda comical that on this site if someone post pics of there truck with "bling" wheels and shiney trinkets its sweet but the second someting other than a Dodge truck is posted with shiney stuff its to "bling bling" for everyones taste.

 

I think is looked bad (well you know!) Pretty sweet!! I'd dive it!

 

That's what i was thinking........scam, run away!

 

its legit. look at the cluster; its swapped in from an 03+ GM pickup. Same for the transfer case 4x4 shift buttons on the center console.


come on how else would they get that to blow smoke in the videos? And also in teh vids, does it really sound like the toyota 4.7 gasser??
