Pull the door handle and slide into a radical ride that still has all the factory amenities at your disposal? Nick’s Toyota Tundra will put that debate to rest. Rocker panels on the pavement, wide-lip billet wheels consumed in the fender wells, and a fully functioning truck he would not hesitate to drive across the country. Along with being one of only a few standard cab Tundras on air, you will quickly see what grabbed our attention. Built by the Toyota mad scientist Rocky Fox who specializes in Toyotas, chopping up this Tundra was no easy task. The front suspension was blown apart to modify the OEM control arms and achieve the extra travel needed to lay flat on 24-inch US Mags. Chop-Chop Built by the Toyota mad scientist Rocky Fox who specializes in Toyotas, chopping up this Tundra was no easy task. The front suspension was blown apart to modify the OEM control arms and achieve the extra travel needed to lay flat on 24-inch US Mags. The front clip was spliced with precision into a 3/4 tubular frame spanning firewall to tail with a custom rear setup. Nick’s wife, Amanda, is also a diehard enthusiast, with a history of radical rides herself. The couple shares this passion and excitement at each event they attend. Narrowing the axle was a must, sucking in a massive 15-inch-wide rim out back. Rocky added in a hand-built fuel cell, Dominator bags, and a custom air switch installed into the dash to appear factory. Having aimed for a grounded Tundra cruising an inch off the ground and blowing cold A/C, the vision had become reality. When Nick laid eyes on Rocky’s amazing creation, the gears began turning. Rocky’s keeping the original theme alive with plans to put his own spin on an already amazing machine. Stock and Dropped Taking my own personal tour of this killer toy, I was loving the stock and dropped feel with an extra kick of detail. At a distance it was clean and classy, with color-matched exterior pieces and red-painted headlight housings. Sometimes less is more, and this interior has just enough custom to highlight the already impressive attributes. Going in for a closer look, I found a custom sheetmetal floor with style and full functionality. Under the hood was a nicely dressed 5.7 liter V-8 with handmade sheetmetal engine covers by Chad Louque to throw extra detail into the mix. Stepping back after a successful shoot, I couldn’t help being envious of Nick and his amazing Tundra. Scooping up such an amazing build and throwing in his personal touches to make it his own—built to drive and breaking necks along the way. The interior continued the same trend with perfectly accented panels and red piping on the seats. Showing off the spacious interior in this standard cab Tundra was a 12-inch woofer stamped into a clean ported enclosure. Massive Orion amplifiers neatly recessed across the top with a clean wire tuck. Everything painted and textured to appear factory. Sometimes less is more, and this interior has just enough custom to highlight the already impressive attributes.
