FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Renowned TV show builders West Coast Customs Team up with General Tires and Jeff “OX” Kargola to create the “OX-Tundra”.

Corona, CA – (Mar. 29 ,2011) – West Coast Customs (WCC) premiers their new show on Discovery’s HD Theater, Inside West Coast Customs April 3, 2011 at 9:00 PM EST. Inside West Coast Customs is the next exciting show featuring WCC’s outrageous builds. WCC is unveiling their latest creation the “OX-Tundra”. The OX-TUNDRA is the creation of Ryan Friedlinghaus owner of West Coast Customs and General Tires athlete, Jeff “OX” Kargola. WCC took a 2010 Toyota Tundra and transformed it into the ultimate off-road survival machine for the Baja 1000.

“Ox wanted to make his truck fully functional and be able to handle all the obstacles for being out in the desert as a chase vehicle and also wanted to make it “dark” and “mean” to fit with the Metal Mullisha style,” said Ryan Friedlinghaus, CEO of West Coast Customs” to start the transformation we built a custom roof rack to hold a spare tire, extra gas and lots and lots of bright lights. We made the rack removable so when the Baja is over Ox can take it off and go low profile. On the front of the truck we have a custom bumper with a winch attached to get out of any hairy situation, and we added a few more lights to make this the brightest truck out there. In the back we will put in some tool boxes and install a shower. The interior of the truck will be super plush so while you’re in the desert you can get away from it all in the cab of the truck. We covered the seats in leather with DVD players in the headrest, we put in a new leather headliner with an additional DVD screen and for Ox’s survival and sanity, a satellite phone and bumpin’ sound system. To give it the “mean” look he asked for we will give it a one of a kind gray cammo paint job with some aggressive General Grabber tires.”

Owner Ryan Friedlinghaus and his shop have been doing exclusive custom builds for the MTV show Pimp my Ride, TLC’s Street Customs, Street Customs Berlin and now on his new show on Discovery’s HD Theater, Inside West Coast Customs.
