It's an incredible thing,

When Dreams Come True.

This truck is a dream come true.

It began life as a 2004 Toyota Tacoma.

Base Model. 2-door. Regular Bed. Manual.

Perfect.

After being rear-ended, the Tacoma wouldn't align. The rear end was out of sorts.

Dillon, well; he's incredible. With the precision of a surgeon, he grafted in a Subframe from an Infiniti G37.

Independent suspension from a vehicle 1000 lbs heavier? Yes please!

Thanks to the weight of the G37, the Tacoma still has an excellent carrying capacity.

Plus; and this is what really matters:

It drives like a sports truck.

Canyons? Yes please. Corners? Gladly.

Drifting? We're still working on that. :P

And, when it comes down to it, this Tacoma excels at being a truck.

What have I carried with this thing?

Engines, mattresses, drywall, lumber, unicycles, concrete, tools, trikes, motorcycles.

It's no exaggeration when I say this vehicle is a dream come true. My father and I owned a 1980's Toyota Pickup. It was a really neat truck; dually, manual. Powered by the iconic 22RE motor. Slow, but an absolute tank!

A few months after buying the truck from Dillon, I found a drawing from about 15 years old of a lowered Toyota Tacoma. My truck!

What's next for this incredible little truck?

Thank you for the photos Charles. You are an incredible photographer. I'm grateful to call you a friend. Dillon; I really cannot thank you sufficiently for this Truck. I love this vehicle. You're a renaissance man.
