A Utah man just built one of the craziest custom cars we've seen in a while—and it's making waves all around the country. What started out as a joke with a DIY, police-style Tesla Cybertruck turned into a much bigger deal. The vehicle, called "Cybercop," was built on an old Toyota truck and included wrapping it with aluminum body panels, lights, sirens, and lots of laughing along the way. But the kicker? It will be auctioned off on eBay and 100% of the sales will benefit the families of fallen officers through the 10-33 Foundation. How cool is that?
A DIY Cybertruck with Cop Car Swagger
This isn't your ordinary garage project. The builder, known on Instagram as utahjohnnyl, said the 2004 Toyota would be transformed into an entire Cybertruck parody—with brushed metal panels and lights. The overall aesthetic balances halfway between sci-fi film design, and a Mad Max realism… and leans all tongue-in-cheek. Instead of a coat of paint, Johnny made each panel out of aluminum by hand. He also added roof-mounted strobe lights, and lights mounted on each side—who wouldn't want that motor cop look? If you saw this coming down the street you would definitely triple take!
Built with a Purpose—More Than Just for Laughs
Absolutely, the Cybercop is funny and definitely attention-grabbing, but it’s also actually doing something good. Johnny isn’t pocketing a penny from the eBay sale. Every cent is going to Utah’s 10-33 Foundation, which assists the families of police officers who are killed in the line of duty. That was the first touch of the emotional side of this crazy build. What started out as a fun parody has transitioned into a very real tribute, mixing hilarity with heart. And in a viral world of builds for clout, this one is actually doing some good.
Four Months, One Garage, and a Lot of Coffee
Believe it or not, this wild ride was made in four months! Johnny had everything but the Toyota engine and drivetrain by himself in his garage. And he turned the wrenches, cut the aluminum, and wired up all the lights. It is amazing how fast it came together- and level of detail! The Toyota is also still drivable, so we didn't touch the engine or drivetrain. It has working brakes, a full set of air conditioning, and it has tires, not plastic wheels, you could literally take this to the store if you didn't mind being noticed while parking it.
Loaded With LEDs, Warnings, and Quirky Humor
Cybercop is supreme in its self awareness level. Johnny added Not a Cop warnings, goofy sticker and bin mounts to show homage to “Space Patrol”, and accomplished it in such a way that it's ridiculous but not crossing the line. Everybody knows it is parody here, which is a good thing as it keeps it light and no legal problems. But it's still quite impressive. Just the LED strips alone would give it a significant "tron meets local PD" vibe. And while it's not designed to chase speeders, it would definitely be the main attraction at any car meet.

Conclusion
The Cybercop car is more than just a funny spoof of the Cybertruck; it's a road demonstration of imagination, humor, and compassion. It may look like it belongs to a science fiction parody, but its purpose is far more serious: to support families of fallen officers. In a world where sometimes viral stunts bubble up, and just as quickly bubble down, often without an impact on the community, it provides a palpable inspiration because: it shows everyone that a passion project built in a garage can inspire conversations, put smiles on faces and ultimately—better yet—make a difference.
