What happens here

Alex details the aesthetic and functional exterior modifications made to the white Chevrolet 3500 HD dually truck. These include a 'chrome delete' treatment (removing most chrome accents while retaining some for tasteful contrast with the wheels), a 6-inch ReadyLIFT lift kit, and 24-inch Arena Monarch rims. The side fenders are color-matched to the truck's body, the roof has been 'tuxedo-ed' (painted black), and all windows have been tinted with added window flares. The door handles are also black, complementing the overall theme. For robust towing, the truck features a heavy-duty rear suspension with eight leaf springs. Finally, the taillights have been 'smoked out' for a sleek look, and large mud flaps have been installed to protect the new trailer.

Goal: Showcase the extensive aesthetic and functional modifications to the truck's exterior.

What they say

them? For starters, we got rid of all the chrome on it. I mean, we left a little bit just to be tasteful with the wheels, but we chrome deleted all of this stuff here. Uh we did a our buddies over at Tire Pros wheel experts uh did a 6-in ReadyLift for us. They hooked us up with some 24-in Arena Monarch rims. These aren't even for sale yet. You can't even get your hands on it. We're the first ones with them, so these things are really really cool. 24-in wheels, we went ahead and we color matched [music] the side of the fender. We tuxedoed the top. Tinted the windows out, window flares, black handles, and even back here we continued it with the 24-in Arena Monarch rims. Back here, if you come back here, you can see we got some super heavy-duty suspension in there. So, this can handle whatever kind of load you need. There's there's eight leaf springs in there. So, I mean, this thing's super super beefy. We didn't stop there. We smoked out the tail lights. We got some big bad uh mud flaps on there to keep everything from ruining your brand new trailer. And then back here, we didn't stop there. We got a 30,000-lb hitch, so that thing can really hold up any kind of weight you guys throw onto it. And then to connect the trailer here, we got this Pennington flagship hitch right here. This is a 20,000-lb rated hitch. Again, the trailer is only 14, but this is 20,000 lb. We want to overkill everything so that you can work this truck for a very, very long time. Three-way tailgate right here. >> [snorts] >> Then on the interior, we got nice High Country interior. Super clean, fully loaded truck in here. I mean, this thing's ready to work, play, whatever you want to use it for. Side matched the side steps, but we left the top black cuz once you step on that one time, we don't want you to chip the new paint, so little stuff like that. What about the tuner in it? It has a 95-horsepower Banks tuner in it as well. And an AFE cold air intake. So, that tuner adds an extra 95 horsepower, but it has not been deleted, but it just adds extra horsepower in there to the tire system. And a nice AFE intake here. You can see that there. All of that just helps add to the performance of this truck so that when you're actually having a lot of weight behind you, it can it can tow it no problem. It was You stomp on it and she I've never been in a dually that would do anything like that. That tuner helps take out the lag, too. And you know, I seen the videos online, thought,…
