Ride Details

Original Cost
24,000
Build Cost
35,000 and climbing
What was the inspiration?
I was wanting something from the norm. You don't see many dakotas especially 3rd gens. So with some clean mods and subtle paint scheme this is where it is at the moment. Still have plans for Lindsey(dakota)
How long did it take you to build?
I'm into the build about 4 years. Took some time to figure out how I wanted to tackle it and what Iwas going to do.
How long have you been building?
I've been building custom trucks since I was 18. I've had a few cars but I love trucks. I have always been told I couldn't do certain things on some of my builds so I did to prove a point and to stand out even more.
Club Affiliations
I belong to Freaks of Nature Worldwide Definitely a family not just a club
Your future plans?
Future plans consist of a full blown interior and entertainment.
Thanks to
I'd to thank my Freaks for being family and for the great times so far and for the future to come. My parents for getting me into cars as a young child thts where I found my first mini truck. Thanks to Des for shooting my truck, it was an honor to have been shot by such a hell of a guy(my brother). Mike Krug at Krugs Custom Paint for the SICK clowns and Bob Sloan at Sloan Product Ltd. for my paint n mods. Last but not least to Misi for the support and always being down with this Freak
