Week 3 of the Sweet Tooth build and we officially went body off. 😳
Body mounts came out, the lift went up, and somehow this giant old ice cream truck body is now floating above the frame like we actually know what we’re doing.
This is one of those moments where the project stops feeling like “we’re tinkering on an old van” and starts feeling like “oh no… we’re really building this thing.”
Now that the body is up, we can finally get serious on the frame, drivetrain, suspension, and all the questionable ideas that got us here in the first place. Wish us luck! 🤞

Two completely different animals, one trusted brand. 🤝
The fleet upgrade is officially in motion. 📦✈️
When you count on your vehicles to perform every single day, tire choice isn’t something you leave to chance. Just placed orders today to give both the daily workhorse and the classic cruiser the premium treatment they deserve with
For the Super Duty, a set of heavy-duty Yokohama Geolandar A/T XD (35X12.50R17) is on its way from , Commercial-grade 10-ply toughness and an aggressive tread pattern to handle serious hauling without breaking a sweat.
For the LS400, I went with the Yokohama Avid Ascend GT (245/45R18) from for the new SC430 wheels to preserve that legendary, smooth-as-silk ride while upgrading wet-weather performance and longevity.
Can’t wait for the delivery trucks to drop these off so we can get them mounted up. Big things coming!

Kyle was an incredible champion who demanded perfection every single day due to his deep desire to win. Kyle and Toyota were synonymous with winning for 15 years, with countless record-breaking milestones, race victories and multiple championships celebrated together. While there were many exciting moments spent in victory lane, Kyle’s personal relationship with the entire Toyota family was even more memorable. His impact on NASCAR and the whole motorsports community cannot be measured. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with Samantha, Brexton, Lennix and the entire Busch family during this difficult time.

Week 2 of the Sweet Tooth build is up — and the motor is officially OUT.
This old P20 ice cream truck is finally starting to come apart, which means we’re one step closer to rebuilding it into something completely ridiculous: part ice cream truck, part show vehicle, part post-apocalyptic fever dream.

This week was all about getting the heart out of the beast. It fought us, made a mess, and reminded us that old step vans do not care about your timeline.

But progress is progress.

Follow along as we bring Sweet Tooth back from the dead… one rusty, greasy, questionable decision at a time.

Meet ATOM — my #199 Spec Miata with a little Real Steel attitude and a whole lot of autocross abuse ahead of it.
It’s not the fastest thing in a straight line, but that’s the whole point. Momentum, braking, timing, cones, and trying not to embarrass myself in front of people with stopwatches.
This is where the driver mod begins.

We got Big Chief out to put in a little work! I don’t drive ‘er as much as I should 😅, might have to go ahead and get that interior put in 🤣. What’s your favorite movie car?!

Every milestone from here on out gets the alarm.
100. 1,000. 10,000. 100,000. Doesn’t matter.
If we level up… we SET IT OFF. 🚨
Thanks for the support! I appreciate all of you!

1999.
Pikes Peak.
Toyota.
Hot Wheels.
Found this absolute little legend sitting at a yard sale like it WASN’T one of the coolest things ever made. 😮‍💨⛰️
The wild part? This thing perfectly captures that late-90s era of insane aero, hill climb madness, and Toyota motorsports energy that guys like Rod Millen made legendary.
Tiny truck. Massive vibe.

Kyle Loftis always seemed like a very humble guy, great friend and just a solid all around dude from what I had seen about him online. I’m bummed I’ll never get to meet him. 😔

We are extremely saddened to share that Kyle Loftis, the founder of 1320video, passed away last night. We are in a state of shock.

Kyle’s passion for motorsports inspired millions of people around the world and we will never forget what he has done to grow our beloved sport. Kyle was a beam of light at every gathering… his enthusiasm, kindness, and creativeness was contagious.

Let us pray that Kyle is in a better place.
