07: Toyota Tundra Ultimate Motocross Truck
Why is this the ultimate motocross truck? Because DC Shoes’ motocross riders spilled their guts on everything they would want in a truck, and West Coast Customs made it happen. The Tundra Double Cab 4×4, equipped with a 5.7-liter V-8 and six-speed automatic, is transformed into a roughrider coated in a custom rough-textured paint by Line-X. It receives a suspension lift, courtesy of Camburg Racing, and shocks are provided by Fox. Goodies include a roof rack that doubles as a viewing deck, fold-up side beds, and a suicide tailgate. A gas pump and water pressure washer are stashed under the bed, along with an air compressor.
CORONA, Calif. (KABC) — A company based in Corona has brought Mario Kart to life. Nintendo commissioned West Coast Customs to build two life-sized Mario Karts.
It was part of a promotion to launch “Mario Kart 7,” the latest sequel in the series. The car remodeling company had only 30 days to create the Karts in time for last month’s L.A. Auto Show.
The vehicles can reach up to 30 miles per hour.
One of the Karts is being raffled off, while the other is going to Nintendo’s headquarters.
“Since its launch, Velocity has been the go-to destination for upscale automotive programming,” said Bob Scanlon, Senior Vice President of Velocity. “Ryan and the crew at West Coast Customs truly personify the Velocity brand with their expertly crafted cars designed for top-notch clientele.”
