We're giving a white 2008 Lexus GX 470 to one person whose story deserves it. Anyone in the U.S. can nominate someone by mail. It's free, and the best story wins.
Nominate anyone in the U.S. All it takes is a stamp.
No purchase needed. One nomination per person.
Handed over in person at our Jacksonville lot.
Why we're doing it
A dependable truck means getting to work, getting the kids to school and getting back home. For the right person, that's a whole new start.
Our team in Jacksonville gives the GX a documented safety inspection and an open-recall check before the handoff, and the recipient gets the full report.
Kings Chariot customers come from all over the country, so anyone in any state can nominate someone. All it takes is a stamp.
The recipient picks up the rig at our lot on Wesconnett Blvd. We want to shake their hand and give them the keys ourselves.
How to nominate
The prize is a white 2008 Lexus GX 470, built up with help from our sponsors. Anyone in the U.S., 18 or older, can nominate someone who deserves it. It's free. Each person can send one nomination, and you can't nominate yourself.
No purchase is needed to nominate or win, and buying anything from Kings Chariot won't help a nomination. Online, emailed and social media nominations aren't accepted.
The prize
This one gets the full Kings Chariot treatment. Our in-house technicians handle the mechanical prep, our detailers handle the cosmetic prep, and before the handoff we do a documented safety inspection and an open-recall check. The winner gets the full report, and they're welcome to bring their own mechanic to check our work. We love inspections.
Kings Chariot pays the Florida title, tag, registration and sales tax. You drive it home.
Handed over with the keys to help cover titling, registration and taxes in your home state.
Winner's gear
Our winner drives off in the Revival Rig wearing the crown. Along with the GX, we're handing over an official Kings Chariot Overland shirt and hat. Want the same gear? It's all on The Outfitter.
Thank you to our sponsors
These brands stepped up with parts and support to help bring this rig back to life. We couldn't hand over the keys without them.

How it's picked
The people who bring our rigs back to life, the Kings Chariot mechanics and detailers, read and score every nomination against the same three criteria. It's a judged contest, so chance plays no part.
Before letters go to the judges, we check them for eligibility and remove contact details. The highest score wins, and the next two become alternates.
How much a dependable rig would change the nominee's life: work, school, family, getting where they need to go.
What the nominee gives to their family, their community and the people around them.
Clarity, sincerity and detail. You don't need to be a great writer. Just tell us who they are and why it matters.
The story wall
With signed consent, we'll share nomination letters here as they arrive. We'll show first names and hometowns only. Being posted here doesn't mean a letter was chosen, and it doesn't affect judging.
About Kings Chariot
At Kings Chariot, we're Land Cruiser people. We drive them, we build them, and we love finding the great ones and getting them ready for their next owner. Every rig that leaves our shop starts a story, and this time, we get to help write one.
Done by in-house technicians who know Land Cruisers, Lexus and 4x4s inside and out.
From full detailing to headlight restoration. Most used vehicles get a car wash and a price tag. Ours get our shop.
Bring your mechanic, send an inspector, or get a live FaceTime walkaround. Come check our work.

Questions
No. Anyone who's a legal U.S. resident 18 or older can nominate or be nominated. The recipient has to come to Kings Chariot in Jacksonville to pick up the rig in person on giveaway day, Jan. 9, 2027.
No. Nominating is completely free, and buying something from Kings Chariot has no effect on judging.
Yes. Everything in the envelope has to be written by hand: the official form, filled out in pen, and the nomination story. Typed, printed or computer-written letters won't be judged. Neat or messy doesn't matter. We want to hear it in your own words.
No. Nominations are by mail only, on the official form printed from this site, and must arrive by 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2026.
No. Self-nominations aren't accepted. Someone else has to tell us your story.
No. Each person can send one nomination, and each nominee is judged only once. If the same person is nominated more than once, only the first eligible nomination we receive is judged.
The Kings Chariot mechanics and detailers score each letter on three things: need and impact, character and service, and the story itself. It's a judged contest, so chance plays no part.
It's a 2008 Lexus GX 470 that's been through our shop: mechanical prep by our technicians, cosmetic prep by our detailers, plus a documented safety inspection and recall check before the handoff. The recipient gets the full report and is welcome to have their own mechanic look it over. Like any giveaway vehicle, it's awarded as-is, with no warranty.
The winner needs to be at Kings Chariot on Jan. 9, 2027, to pick up the rig in person. If they can't make it by Jan. 23, the rig goes to the next-highest-scoring nomination. Kings Chariot doesn't cover travel, lodging or shipping, so getting to Jacksonville and getting the rig home are up to the recipient.
For a Florida winner, Kings Chariot pays the title, tag, registration and sales tax. An out-of-state winner gets $1,500 in cash with the truck to help with titling and registration in their home state.
Yes. The rig, plus any cash or fees we cover, counts as taxable income, and Kings Chariot will issue a Form 1099.
