What’s up, guys! Welcome back to the channel. Today we’re just a little north of Atlanta, heading to Atlanta Truckfest 2024. But before we dive into the event, I’ve got to expose Justin just a little bit. Check out his outfit today—rocking the white and olive green. He’s looking so fresh, you could call him “Ranch,” because he’s definitely dressing today! His gear even matches his outfit, though I can’t show that here. However, what I am going to show you all—and expose a little—is the wheels we’ve got going on with the rig. These wheels are no joke, my friends.

Now, there’s a reason why the wheels are like this, and by the end of the video, I’ll include some clips of us trading a set of wheels for a car a few weeks ago—about a month ago, actually. I just want to give Justin a hard time for having these…well, I don’t even know what kind of wheels they are, just the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life. They’re American Racing Wheels with spikes. So, make sure you guys stay tuned until the end of the video. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and shout out to ATA Truckfest! ATA Truckfest is one of my favorite shows every year. It’s not the biggest show in the world, but it’s one of my favorites to come to, hang out, and meet some awesome people. They always have cool stuff going on. So again, make sure you like, subscribe, and let’s get this bread, baby!
So, you all might not remember this, but for about a year, we had a set of wheels sitting at the shop. They were 28×14 KG1 Heathens that I ordered for a gentleman from Hawaii, and it took forever to get those wheels sold. Long story short, Justin sold them on Facebook Marketplace to a guy, and guess what? The truck is here right now. I never thought I’d see these wheels again, but here they are, one of those full-circle moments. They went all the way to Alabama, got put on a Ford, and now they’re on a six-lug Chevy. On an old second-gen—no, wait—third-gen! Sorry, I get them mixed up. The color of the truck is absolutely beautiful, but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about this full-circle moment. One, I never thought I’d see these wheels again, but two, they’re right here in front of me, back in Atlanta. 28×14 KG1s. Shout out to Walker Bryan from Hawaii for ordering them originally. The truck looks amazing; red’s my favorite color too!

One of the coolest things about coming to these shows is that I’m 99% sure I saw this truck in Texas at LST. The reason I remember is that it’s got one of the only 10-12 inch McGaughy kits I’ve ever seen because McGaughy doesn’t make it for the new body style trucks. If I ever get a Duramax, I’ve got to get this body style or a Chevy because McGaughy makes that 10-12 inch kit for them. I’m almost certain I saw this truck in Texas, but maybe I didn’t. Either way, I want to give a shout-out to McGaughy because this truck has that 10-12 inch kit with face plates, which is super cool to me. The color is beautiful, the lift kit matches perfectly, and the custom traction bars in the back are pretty awesome. It’s a great-looking truck—what do you think? I feel like it’s bigger than a 12-inch lift. Yeah, it definitely looks bigger than 12 inches. I like it—I’m not mad at it.
Just like at Atlanta Truck Invasion, you’ve got every color of the rainbow here. Single cab, lowered trucks—anything you can think of. I’ve seen this one at the shop before. I think it was built in Texas too. I can’t remember who the owner is, but I’m 100% sure this truck has been by the shop before. It’s a 1979, lime green, neon green-yellow McGaughy kit—one of my favorite powder coat colors. If I build a truck, I’d probably go with this powder coat. I mean, I like it, but it’s not my favorite. It stands out, though. I’m a little biased towards red, to be honest, so that’s my problem. I’m a little addicted to red, so it’s kind of unfair to compare. I’m a little biased, but I get that very in-your-face vibe—you have no other choice. Yeah, that’s true, and the black with the polished wheels looks good—it’s a good contrast. Hey, Atlanta Truckfest top 50—I’m not sure if that’s from today or what, but maybe last year. Probably last year.

Obviously, the biggest section of the show that I’m a fan of is the row of Team Billet lifted trucks. There are about ten of them in a row. I’m going to run down the line real quick. We’ve got this beautiful burgundy Aluma Duty on an all-powder-coated—wait, no—it’s a big Wicked kit, so you’re probably looking at 10-12 inches, maybe even a bit bigger. I’m terrible at guessing the lift sizes when it comes to the Aluma Duty stuff or anything that’s not a Chevy, to be honest. You’ve got your 30-inch American Forces with Team Billet floating center caps on the 42-inch Furies—got to have the Furies. I like the Wicked kits, but there’s something about the design of their front drop-down brackets for the Chevy and GMC lift kits that’s a little weird to me. The rear traction bars are definitely different—you’re either going to love them or hate them. They’ve got this almost Cuban-link-like design, or maybe hexagon honeycomb? I don’t even know how to describe it. It looks like an old-school cannon. The truck is beautiful, though. It’s redone top to bottom, frame-off—it looks like a 12 or 14-inch lift. Absolutely beautiful. You’ve got the two-tone American Forces. I’m not mad at it; I’m just questioning the Wicked kit—that’s all it is.
Next to me, we’ve got something more my speed here, and we saw this one at Atlanta Truck Invasion. I’m a big fan—we’ve got the new body style, like 2022 GMC Denali, all powder-coated white, all color-matched white with chrome accents. You’ve got the color-matched headlights, color-matched everything. Every truck in this row is color-matched top to bottom. 28×16 JTX—yeah, 28×16 JTX with huge neon green spikes. Those are aggressive. And you’ve got the two-tone green and white FTS kit. You’re probably about a 12-inch lift here because if you’re running 40s on 28x16s, yeah, it’s about a 12-inch lift. I’d say it’s probably a bit bigger because they did have to do some trimming, but that could have been because the truck was lifted beforehand with a different setup. You’ve got the green torsion bars, drop-down brackets, green traction bars in the back. I’m a fan. I love the white and green with the polished or chrome—beautiful truck. Big fan of that one. Shoutout to Anderson on Instagram for the whole setup. Dual-reservoir shocks in the front—I mean, I’m a fan. Shoutout to him too. I’m trying to put all the Instagrams in here.

Now, even more my style—because I feel like I’ve got to have one of these at some point—we’ve got the big Denalis. These are big, like 18-20 inch lifts, clearing 44s and 30x16s all day long. Both are Plan B trucks. All have to be Plan B—I mean, anything this big is going to be Plan B. Completely frame-off. Most of these are always built by Plan B. I’m a big fan. Solid axle swap front and rear—well, not front and rear, just front. You get the point. They probably did swap the rear too just to match the bolt patterns. But I’m a fan, I really am. I love the Plan B lifts. They’re big, they’re functional, they’ve got drive shafts in them—shoutout to the front drive shaft. They’ve got front drive shafts—whether they work or not, who cares? They’re just sitting at a show. But frame plates, frame-off, front and rear trusses. I like the color combo—they always come out with some good color combos too. Clean color—Tiffany blue and charcoal gray on the charcoal gray truck. 30×16 Fuel Polished is beautiful. Now onto the white one—a different color combination, but a very similar lift. Almost the exact same style lift. Big 18-20, maybe even 22-inch Plan B frame-off, upgraded sway bars, trusses front and rear, four-link front and rear, big polished face plates or mirrored face plates all around. 30×16 Ruthless Forged on the 44-inch Furies is beautiful. I mean, what more could you ask for when you spend that much money on a truck, you know what I mean? Other than the fact that I’ve got to jump to get into the thing, which I don’t really like. My favorite thing, though, and the difference between these two trucks is they did the four-link but at the top of the axle—that’s cool. I love how they do that when they go from up and down, then one on the top and one on the side—beautiful. I do like that. Actually, I don’t know what the functional benefit of the wishbone setup is, to be honest, but you get a stiffer axle in my opinion. I like that they’re doing the coilover bag setup—coilover plus bag shocks all around with triple bypass. They look like Carli’s; they could just be rebranded Ruthless. I’m 99% sure that’s what it is, but they’ve got both of them with the bag and coilover combo. I’m a big fan. Polished drive shafts, C-coated axles—I mean, Plan B is not going to let something leave unless it’s top-notch to begin with. I wouldn’t expect anything less, to be honest. But what more could you ask for? The trucks themselves are pretty basic—2020-2024 in that area, Duramaxes that you buy off the lot. You’re just spending another car note on the bottom half of the truck.
underneath—spending another $100k at least just to get it looking like that. But I mean, you’re going to impress anybody you pull up on at any show, you know what I mean? I’m not pulling up in the OG bow tie expecting to even park next to this, so I’m a fan either way. They look really good.

Justin’s trying to test my Duramax knowledge here. That right there—what is that? That right there? You mean what’s that? That’s where I plug my microwave in so I can microwave my popcorn at shows. Close, close—that’s your motor heater, your grid heater. These diesels—you know, shoutout to my gas truck drivers out there—I don’t need to warm my truck up in the morning, that’s all I’m saying. Only if you get really, really cold. I don’t need to warm my truck up in the morning or at night. I walk outside, crank it up, turn the heat on when it’s cold, and it’s warm when I get out there in the morning. That’s all I’m saying—it just keeps the motor warm. That’s all. My motor stays warm—it’s gas, we’re ready to go, baby. That’s my one jab at all the diesel trucks out here—build you a gasser so we don’t have to do plugins. You don’t have to do it year-round—summertime, you’re cool. Don’t have to do it. Most places in the winter, you’re cool. I don’t have to do it at all. If you stay in the North Midwest, you may have to plug your truck in—I don’t do it at all. I’m sticking with that—I don’t do it at all. Hey, stay on this side of the country, then you’ll never have to plug it in.
One of my favorite things about coming to these shows—and part of the reason why I don’t like Atlanta Truck Invasion, which I know isn’t their fault—shoutout to S. I just saw S over at the Team Billet tent. I love that you get real, authentic food at these places. The tacos that Justin and I just had—that’s part of the reason why I like coming to these shows.

What are we doing? I hear you, I hear you. I hear you—don’t rev it at me, please. It’s got a little drop on it, alright, alright, alright. The only Any Level at the show that I know of—I feel like Any Level has become the industry standard. If you have an Aluma Duty and you’ve got an Any Level lift, then…oh, we’ve got two—sorry, shoutout to Mark over here. We’re going to get to this one. We’ve got an all-black Aluma Duty, all-black Any Level lift with kind of silverish accent pieces, all-black King coilovers. It’s all black with chrome accents—it is what it is. It’s an Any Level lift. At this point, I don’t even need to tell you what’s going on. It’s all black, C-coated axles—it’s clean, it’s clean. 30x16s, 44-inch Furies, got the JTX custom center caps. 44s—you know what it is.
Alright, now Mark—I’m sure you guys have seen this truck at just about every show. Shoutout to Mark—Mark’s at just about every show under the sun, you know what I mean? I remember seeing this one at LST last year—no, it was LST this year. It’s been all over. Shoutout to Powder Perfections, Hazel Media, True Horsepower Diesel, Next Level Customs, SMG—shoutout to the whole squad, you know what I mean? Shoutout to everybody. Shoutout to Justin. Hey, shoutout to everybody. 30×16—the cool thing about these wheels, and shoutout to Powder Perfections, because they did some crazy work on this. It’s got three different color powders on each of the wheels, and they’re opposite per side. So if you notice, this lip on the inside is green, and that lip on the inside is orange. So they spent a lot of time on the powder on this truck. It’s all two-tone. I think Any Level originally did the lift kit, and then Powder Perfection did everything outside of the lift kit. So, wheels, all the frame plates, all the accent pieces, bumpers, grills—just about everything else was done by Powder Perfections. I think Any Level did the original lift kit, but 30x16s, 42s—it’s the Miami truck, Miami TI, Any Level lift. You guys have probably seen this at just about every show, but shoutout to Mark because it is one of my favorites. I’ve seen this one a lot.

I think this one was built by Roadshow, so shoutout to the guys at Roadshow. We’ve got the blue and gold, or blue and rose gold, Kelderman kit. Can’t leave out the neon green brake calipers though—big Wilwood setup, big Wilwood guy, you know what I mean? I’ve seen this truck at a lot of shows too. I love the Benjamin—no, not Benjamin, is it Ben Frank? Yeah, Ben Frank. Ben Frank center caps, 30x16s, 42s, the Amis. I love seeing the different wheels people run—we’ve got JTX, we’ve got KG1, we’ve got American Force out here today. TI on that one, we’ve got JTX on the Aluma Duty today. Shoutout to Adrian with the 30x16s, 42s on the Striker—something a little bit different. First Striker of the day. Ain’t mad at it—all blue traction bars in the back, leaf springs done, got the dual-reservoir in the back. 30×16 JTX—I like the cut of that wheel, actually, it looks really good. The 42s, I’m a fan. The powder blue and the mill finish on the Striker kit—that’s beautiful.
So this one again, shoutout to Powder Perfections for doing this one. All two-toned, purple and green, Riddler Tundra. The Diddler—it used to be the Diddler. They just took Diddy’s picture off the side of the truck. But we’ve got your 28×16 JTX—or JTX, jeez—28×16 KG1 wheels with the custom center caps, little Riddler question mark center cap down there. I’m not mad at it, I think it looks really good. Again, two-tone or three-tone wheels? Two-tone wheels. You’ve got the purple and green and the polished look—riddle me this on the lip of the wheel. I’m not mad at it. 12-inch Bulletproof, to my knowledge. 28×16, 40s—if you’re running big wheels, you’ve got to have the Furies. Shoutout to Fury. We’ve seen this one at a bunch of shows too, so I’m not going to talk about this one too much, but I really do like this truck a lot. It’s one of my favorites. Again, everybody talks trash about seeing the Miami truck all the time, but I love the Miami truck too. Mark’s such a nice guy, so I’m not mad at it. Shoutout.

Man, don’t leave out the Excursion. You can’t leave out the Excursion. Alright, alright—shoutout to the Excursion over here. I’m not a big Ford guy, you know, but I know we’ve got American Forces on it, we’ve got the Venoms—I don’t know what kind of lift kit is on it, to be honest with you. Big lifted Excursion—got to show some love, got to show some love. Old six-blow. Six-blow. I’m not a Ford guy, I’m not a diesel guy, so it doesn’t do much for me—but shoutout to Armando. Armando is always showing love, so I’ve always got to show love to Armando. Big 15-18 inch FTS with the red. Armando’s been showing love to me since I was a Cadillac brother. Hey, since I was in a Cadillac—always showing love. Shoutout to Armando. Every time I see Armando, I’ve got to say hey, got to show love. 15-18 inch, all-red FTS with chrome all the way around, 30×16 American Forces on the Furies—got to show love. I love Armando.
Now, last but definitely not least—I don’t know whose truck this is, but I need to find out because this is a big—this might be a bigger lift kit than…well, it’s definitely a bigger lift kit than Armando’s. This has got to be at least a 20-inch lift because it’s sitting a couple of inches taller. It’s got the big—I remember seeing this one at I-Drive last year, and it’s one of my favorites as well. 30×16 JTX on the 42s, all chrome, all chrome. But again, just like I was saying earlier, one of the only things I don’t like about these big, huge independent front suspension FTS kits—one, the price, because there’s no way he didn’t spend $30,000 on just the lift kit with all that chrome. The torsion drop is just big and aggressive for no reason to me. And the front cross member—that’s the only thing. The front cross member too, yeah. The front cross member is big and aggressive, but I can get over that because you’ve got to—that’s a dinner plate. There’s no way to get around not having a huge front faceplate on an independent front suspension kit. Even the McGaughy kit has the big faceplate—you’ve got to get the angles right, you’ve got to get the drop right. But without converting to a four-link, that torsion bar drop is just in your face. And that’s the only thing I don’t like about the FTS. I love the truck, though, so shoutout to—I don’t know what the name is here. I’m going to put it on there for you. I want to give a shoutout—this is one of my favorite trucks today. $30,000 lift kit, 30x16s, 42s—it’s probably more than $30,000, to be honest with you. But the red—you’ve got a little red everywhere. Little red where? Oh, for the Duramax. Yeah, I see that, I see that. I see that. You’ve got the FTS—oh, see, this is what I get for not coming earlier. So you’ve got the—but see, so FTS does a control arm drop, which is so weird to me. Full control arm drop. Control arm drop versus custom spindle—here’s your factory location up here. That’s where you were originally mounted. So that runs all the way—it keeps a factory angle. Factory angle flat with a huge lift kit, though. But so you all can see the full lift kit—control arm drop. You’ve got the red shocks in here. Red shocks—there’s a little bit of red, but I’m not mad at it. Polished drive shaft—I mean, it’s clean. It ain’t bad. It’s clean, it ain’t bad. If we get rid of that—dream truck, that’s all I’m saying.

Ooh, that tan single cab ain’t no joke—nice, with the FTS kit. 26-inch TIS. 26-inch TIS on the tan single cab—that ain’t no joke. I like that color a lot. That’s beautiful. What do we got over here? Arkon action on the High Country—nice little lineup. Shoutout to Team Billet—Team Billet’s always got some cool stuff. They always bring cool stuff to the shows. They bring PR every time they come—every time. I don’t know where my boy Camden went—drove all the way from Mississippi with the round body to come hang out at the show today. 26×16 KG1 Phoenix, what looks like a 9-10 inch Showoff. Got to have the 26×16 KG1s. I’m trying to hook up with some floating center caps, you know what I mean? Got to have the floating center caps on this thing. The 35s obviously are a great look—very iconic look. 35×15.50s. I love the dual-hoop setup on the Showoff kit. It’s a really nice look. The truck’s clean as hell. It’s a super nice burgundy color. I think if I was—when I build a cat-eye, it’s going to be something just like this. And I’ve been giving Justin crap all day about wanting to build a gasser. The gasser I’m going to build is going to be almost exactly like this. Right—got 9-inch lift, crew cab or extended cab, stage 4 cam, 26s—it’s exactly what I want, you know what I mean? So this is a perfect example of something that we’re going to build in the future on the channel. It’ll be the next build on the channel. I know Justin wants to do a Duramax—we ain’t going to get back into it. A gasser is what’s going to be on the channel, that’s all I’m going to say. So shoutout to Camden—no, Duramax. You build yours, you build yours on YouTube channel, and I build mine. K? We’re going to do it together. We’re going to do it together. We’re going to do it together so we can have his and hers, and we can stunt on them, as the kids say. We’re going to flex on them. For real—I just ain’t ready to get into the diesels yet. I’ve got to have my lifted cat-eye. I’ve always wanted a lifted cat-eye on 26s, and we’ve got a cam in the store.

Any of y’all watching the videos, are y’all old enough to remember that it’s a Thirst Buster and not a Polar Pop? If you guys know what I’m talking about, comment down below. I want to give a shoutout to Peter for inviting us out to the show today. It was a great time—one of my favorite shows of the year, every year. I hope you guys enjoy the content at the end of the video so you can see how Justin ended up on these…uh, trash wheels over here. No, literally—let’s get this bread, baby!

I don’t think I’ve started a video off not at the shop or at a show in years. I love the vibe, right? We’ve got the same hat on too—come on now! Did you do that on purpose? No, I did not. The vibes of starting a video off with just some OG messing around—just some good old-fashioned content for the channel today. Okay, we’re going to make a trade—me and Justin. Justin’s over here. We’re going to trade a set of wheels that’s on Justin’s truck right now. And as long as I’ve known Justin, I don’t think he’s kept anything for more than a couple of months—six months, if that. We’re going to make a trade for a set of wheels for a car. Green flag, red flag—I don’t know, we’re going to go find out. A Marketplace thing, that’s all I’m going to say. We’re starting the video off a little bit differently today, and it’s just something different. Woke up on a Sunday, and we said—well, technically, he texted me last night about it—but different content for the day, that’s all I’m saying. I’m excited. We’re going to see how it goes. I’m just going to bring you guys along for the journey, that’s all. Let’s get this bread. We can’t start anything off without a trip to the gas station, you know—that’s just how we do it right here. I don’t—I already woke up and had my Starbucks this morning, though, so no chocolate milk for the day. Starting off with the water, even though that Nesquik do be hitting. It do be hitting. I’m going to be smart today since I already had the big Starbucks this morning. Man’s got the Fab shirt on today. I could last night—where’s Willie at when I need him? I saw Harrison last night. Really? Yeah, of course, Friday night. So how are we trading the Forgiatos for a car, though? That’s my question. Who woke up on Facebook Marketplace and said the Forgiatos need to go and they’re going on a Cadillac-swapped round-body Silverado? Alright, I ain’t mad at that—that’s different. I ain’t mad at that—that’s different. I ain’t mad at that. We’re going to see. It’s all clean and clear—not stolen or blown, so I pulled the stock radio out to see what was going on back there.
Go for a little ride—AC runs. She’s a runner. He said it had cold AC—she’s a runner. What year is this? It’s a 2000. 2000 V8 Dodge Durango in red—my favorite color. What do y’all think? A set of 26-inch Forgiatos for the 2000 V8 Durango? Justin probably won’t even keep the Durango, that’s the plan. So we’re getting rid of the wheels—I don’t know, Lord knows what Justin would end up doing with the car, but we’re going to take it, we’re going to take it somewhere, and bog it. Good hands, baby, good hands. Beat it out one time before you get rid of it. Oh yeah, give her a good wash, good tune-up, and send it through the mud one time. We’re going to put a little gas in the old girl—see what she’s talking about. Little something something. I walked into the gas station with the camera—I think walking around with the camera intimidates people. It’s almost like when a cop walks in—the energy changes just a little bit when people see you walk in with the camera like that. They get a little…get a little weird. Oh, she’s talking about—you all mixed up because you got—talking about, talking about my hat and my Js. Like, come on, I just—I like what I like. Yeah, yeah, she didn’t see the fit though. She wasn’t looking at the Fours down there with it—it would have made sense if she looked at the Fours. Lady…yeah, she didn’t see me put that stuff on this morning. It do be hitting though. Look, we’re going to take the car for a drive—see if it actually makes it down the road a little bit. Them tires…them tires looking rough, bro. Look at this—let me shut up and get in. 339,500. 339—somebody just put some…somebody put some time—they put some hurting on this thing. They put some hurting on this thing. Good Lord. I feel like a full running vehicle is definitely worth any kind of trade, really. If we’re just being honest—a set of 26x12s with half tires—not even half. I’d give them about a quarter life. Quarter life—you got one brand new tire, the rest of them are trash. The wheels are iffy, you know what I mean? Let’s see if we can go make a trade.

Oh, see, this is where we’re going in from. Yeah, that one’s probably no more than a month old than the people that we got the Durango from. There’s a new Tahoe. He’s adding $500 on top—we made the trade. That scared the hell out of me—that was him starting his truck behind me. He’s back there realizing that now he can’t turn as we’re pulling off. Good luck, brother. My man’s got a stock Escalade on 26x12s and 35s, asking
