Galpin Auto Sports Shows F-150 "Tiki"

The creators of the Ford "Tiki Truck" say they plan to show restraint with some of their other SEMA projects, including a customized Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang. C'mon. They don't really mean it, right?

The Ford Web site prominently displays the Galpin Auto Sports "Tiki truck" with a Jacuzzi in the back. The truck is described as "a portable island paradise" with a giant working tiki-head waterfall flowing into a custom-crafted hot tub which is big enough for four. The truck also has a teakwood deck.

Galpin is the home of MTV's Pimp My Ride. But the tuning house says its SEMA Navigator will be "very sophisticated and understated, with Edelman leather and burled walnut trim." Its SEMA Mustang will be painted in Grabber Blue and gets a new Boss 302 engine from Ford Racing. "We're redoing the interior, but not too much," said Galpin's Beau Boeckmann, explaining: "We want to keep weight down for better performance."

The California customizer has two project vehicles in the works for the next season of Pimp My Ride.
