Ride Details

Build Cost
85,000
What was the inspiration?
I needed a heavy duty truck. And one with a personality to fit!!
How long did it take you to build?
Two years
How long have you been building?
I’ve been building and modifying equipment since I was a kid! Modifying trucks to better suit my needs. Always bigger!!
Your future plans?
To grow my business and add a few more trucks to the fleet!
Vehicle history
This truck was used from new to haul earthmovers, bulldozers and track loaders for a large excavation company. I needed a large truck and purchased it from that friend. I disassembled the truck over winter in my shop. Coated the frame and suspension. Already heavy duty axles. Upgraded brakes, wheels and tires! Added a heavy duty bed and coated it with urethane raptor black bedliner. Building up the C10 Caterpillar engine with a blacked out strait pipe exhaust. And wrapping the whole cab in my business logo and graphics. I built a truck that could haul anything! And stuck out to promote my business!
Thanks to
My family especially my son Evan. Wisconsin Kenworth, Caterpillar, Double D Services, Mad Wraps, Pomps Tire, and LaunchingU Forward/Heather Moss for the business and wrap design.
