SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE OWNER:

  • I would like to first thank my patient family (Kandra, Hailey and Haven) for dealing with and supporting my dreams. Also a very special thanks to everyone who has had a part in this build before me. The build wouldn’t be possible without all of the greatness of all the people involved from the start. All of the awesome guys and gals in Severed Ties who continue to motivate and support me. Ryan Alford and Phillip Cato for designing and making my custom seats and door panels a reality. Ezra Henderson from RMS Pro Finishes for always mixing the raddest custom paint colors. Metal Worx Fab for making the perfect custom fuel cell. Car Stuff Unlimited for helping sponsor the Intro wheels. Jason Billups at JB Associates for all of the audio. Michael Price and Aaron Ross, two of the most knowledgeable Toyota enthusiasts I know. Chad Wheeler at Wheelers Customs for supplying some AccuAir parts. T for letting me have the perfect dash for the swap. Tom at All Things Chrome. Hose Candy for making such a great product. Down South Kustoms (DSK) and Monzter Motorsports for the custom billet accessories. Dakota Digital for a perfect product. Richarotchie for giving me some very much needed hard-to-find parts, KP Concepts for the great renderings and being patient with me through all of the changes. I’m sure there are so many more people and companies I’m forgetting, but I’m sure to make up for it in the truck’s completed feature. Thank you EVERYONE who has or is playing a part in the build of LOW LUX!
