Tim Allen owns the truck that has been featured throughout this series.
Vanessa says that Mike (Tim Allen) sounds like "Buzz Lightyear with a cold." Allen, of course, voiced Buzz Lightyear in the "Toy Story" movies.
Mike (Tim Allen) says that his 10 years' worth of work on the truck, a metaphor for the series in this episode, is "longer than I've done improvement on this home." The inside joke here is that Allen's previous series Home Improvement (1991) ran for eight seasons over eight years.
The truck was featured prominently in the exterior shots of the Outdoor Man store. In the final exterior scene, the truck is conspicuously absent.
