This is my Double Cab!  What you are looking at is a customized setup.  One
of the previous owners did all of this work.  I wish it wasn't like this
but it isn't THAT bad.  Here is a list of mods done by the PO:

- Lower and extend the nose of the truck
- Ford Areostar Front Bumper
- Larger Side Windows
- Natural Gas Coversion (Tanks in the underbed storage compartment)
- Highback seats
- Full carpet interior
- Fridge between front seats

Hey they truck does work great and with these extensive modifications I do
not feel bad about installing a VW Golf engine in there!
