Check this one out.....Fabtech coilover lift, 40" toyos/ 22"RBP's. This was the first "murdered out" truck we did. Since then we have done a few, this one was for Sullen and we also did one for Monster Energy. This truck was at Sema in the Toyo booth.

How much trimming to fit those tires, isnt that an 8 inch lift? Looks sick.

How did you do the front bumper? Paint or powdercoat or?

Looks good. I am biased toward the Black with black wheels. I have to do something with at least the outer segments of the front bumper.

Front Bumper was more then likely painted. The whole things plastic basicaly except the top center peice.

For some reason when I open their website and look at the gallery, there is always an error at the bottom of the page and I can't see any of the pictures. Anyone else have this problem?

It did take a bit of trimming but it came out really clean. I didnt just trim it, did a small amount of metal work. We had to do some work on the rear fenders as well.

No, the exhaust on this one is turbo back. It has a 450RWHP tune, with a built trans.

Truck is sick, I love the way the grill and the wheels compliment each other, all black with chrome rivets. If I had a black truck I would be dropping some cash on the "murdered out" style. How much s#*t do these guys get from the police in Cali, blacked out head and tailights thats a big VC violation:D.

We saw this truck at SEMA. It is very sharp. Did you do some more trimming after SEMA??? At SEMA the truck would not turn without rubbing hard. This is not a bash, as the truck was very well done.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, alot has been done since SEMA. We literally had it done the same night it had to leave for SEMA. Now it can go full turn lock to lock, no problem.

Nice to hear. We watched the driver trying to get it in the display area in the morning and it took him 4 times to jockey it back and forth to place it because it was rubbing so bad.

I would really like to see some close up pictures of the trimming. I know it had to be major. Nice work.

Enough can't be said about that truck, its an awesome build! Black on black on black on black.... ;) looks damn good!

A satin clear instead of flat black might look pretty sick too!
