The truck was refinished in blue and white by Land Cruiser Restorations, and the roof rack, grille, mirrors, bumpers, and window trim are accented in chrome. Additional features include Grote quad LED rectangular headlights, LED grille lighting, a receiver hitch, power-coated rock sliders, mud flaps, a rear window wiper, and a split tailgate. Close-up photos of imperfections on the drip rails are included in the gallery.
Polished 15″ Pro Comp 69 Series wheels are wrapped in 33×12.5 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. Refurbishment work consisted of rebuilding both Birfield front knuckles and installing drilled front discs, Old Man Emu shocks, springs, and steering stabilizers as well as replacing the tie rod ends, drag arms, and brake pads, shoes, and lines. The front axle is equipped with manually locking hubs, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features heated front bucket seats that have been reupholstered in blue leather and are joined by gray and blue door panels. Equipment includes a center console with cupholders, a rear window defroster, rubberized floormats, under-dash accent lighting, Alpine speakers, a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo with a rearview camera display, and power windows, locks, and side mirrors. The air conditioning system has been converted to R134a.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames Speed Hut instrumentation consisting of a GPS-based 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and battery voltage. The six-digit odometer shows 1,008 miles. The fuel gauge reads high.
The 5.3-liter Vortec V8 was installed by Land Cruiser Restorations during the time of the refurbishment. Additional work included installing a custom wiring harness and headers, a Champion three-row radiator, SPAL dual electric fans, a low-profile oil pan, and a cold air intake manifold.
Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels through a six-speed 6L80E automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The rear C-channel portions of the frame were replaced by Land Cruiser Restrorations in 2022 to address rust.
