So here I started with a late build 99 that has seen some good use. A good customer didn't have much use for this truck anymore but like my normal fashion I saw the potential. A 99 was my first diesel so it was hard to pass up especially since I have always said if I were to order a brand new truck it would be a Lariat with rubber floor mat which is how this truck was equipped from the factory. I will have to dig for pics but needless to say I started with the interior as it was a wreck! Seats from a 06 got installed as well as a headliner, Pioneer touch screen and 6x8 Polks. The sub is still in the works. Next off was body work. I went paint to match which is more my style and it got a 07 front end with a Harley Davidson grill (yes I know I ride a VIctory but this was the right grill for this build hahaha). Putco LED headlights, 08 mirrors, tailgate and rear bumper keep the look going then my buddy Chris Sisk did his magic with the sheet metal and paint and the pics don't lie! My last 7.3 rocked Moto Metal 951's in 20" so don't fix what ain't broke. I am a huge fan of Moto Metal rims after that truck since it spent every weekend in the mud for years and when I sold it there was absolutely zero pitting or rust! I wanted to break the mold (remember I ride a Victory) and since every white truck these days is rocking black rims what easier way to say F*** what everyone else is doing?!? They are wrapped in 35x12.50 Falken AT3's. A mild leveling kit was all I used because if you haven't seen my Excursion.... lets just say 230lbs is sick of jumping out of jacked up trucks lol. S&B intake, 5" MBRP exhaust and custom tunes from Innovative Diesel keep my trash hauler scooting down the road. No it is not finished nor is it for sale yet because there is just more that needs to be done to it before I get bored...

This started as a 04 Lariat that when brought to me had a popped freeze plug. Talking with the customer the engine had recently been rebuilt. Long story short when we drained the oil and coolant to add and start from fresh, when adding oil it was coming out of the coolant freeze plug. Uh oh... Obviously we were going to have to dig in to see why and the guy just wanted out. He told me to buy it. I said I didn't want it. He had his daughter call a few days later and ask me to buy it. I replied the same. She called back and said $3500. I said no. I started to look at the truck as a whole. She called back and said $3250. I said sold (yes my employees were pi**ed off I said yes lol). So it sat for months under the tree by my shop. Wrong wheels, cracked back glass, mirrors missing ect. One day I said lets dig in. I left for the gym around noon and when I got back they wouldn't talk to me. Finally I said "Whats up?". Needless to say I got the whole "You are the luckiest mother****** on earth" speech hahahha. So the customer had another problem which we still don't know was the original culprit and had just been adding water. It pushed not only the block plug out but had pushed the head plugs as well allowing oil to enter the coolant ports. So we bulletproofed it and then the fun started. I wanted to squat this one so I started with only shackles and hangers. Then of course when shoe shopping I went with BMF Novakanes wrapped in 35x12.50 Nitto trail grapplers and 2" spacers. Okay so then (hahahha) 4" Skyjacker springs came in the mix with Proryde adjustable rear blocks and Bilstein shocks. With that out of the way it was off to Carolina Collision and Brian Hall's men got to work. I used a 07 front end and 08 mirrors, tailgate and rear bumper. The paint job on this truck set it so far out in front of anything on these roads that you would have to see it to truly appreciate it. The interior was actually pretty well kept so just a Pioneer touchscreen and 6x8 Polk's pushed by a hidden Clarion amp helped to get the mood set when cruising to the gym. S&B intake feeding the turbo and a 5" MBRP exhaust with custom tunes on the livewire by innovative diesel kept me happy. I had a set of 205cc injectors sitting around but never installed them because Jake Pippin kept beating me up to sell him this truck. Then my friend Rami Danil just had to send me a 05 Excursion to get serviced and well... Yeah that happened.
