so there are some random pics floating around of this truck but i figured id start a build thread becasue im actually just now starting to think this truck is gonna turn out pretty bitchin in the end......i was a bit unsure at first. lol

the truck is a 2009 duramax, allison, crew cab, short box, 4wd 2500HD that im working on.......the list of most of the mods....

-full BMS chase kit(uniball UCA's, heim steering and 2.5" KING resi shocks all around)
-torsion keys
-full banks diesel performance kit
-fiberglass fenders at all corners
-37" good year GSA tires on 17" BTR race bead lock wheels
-onboard air system
-custom built 2" .120 4130 front bumper built to house a 16.5k lb warn winch
-custom built 2" .120 4130 rock sliders
-custom built 2" rear bumper
-multiple HID lights
-rear facing camera system
-custom rear "chase/lumber rack" with high lift jack mount, billet adjustable tie down system, as well as rear facing work lights.
-everything will be powder coated and line-x'd too of course
-and im sure we will be adding more along the way per the customers request.

heres some pics.

all the fabricated parts just went out to powder coat and the rest of the truck is gonna be going to paint/body here real soon, and then will get final assembly.

**doyouquaxu** · 07-25-2010, 04:50 PM

are those work lights in the rear HID? and did i spot a small LED bar underneath the grill?

**redsilvy** · 07-25-2010, 05:34 PM

also, those btrs, did you just order them blank and drill them out yourself? I want btrs but not in my lug pattern. Same as your 1500 i would assume.

Truck looks badass and the rear bumper is way clean!

**matt_helton** · 07-25-2010, 11:10 PM

these are the rear facing work lights....... 2" SOLSTICE SOLO SINGLE 10-WATT LED POD 35ø WIDE BEAM Vision X USA

these are the front lateral lights..... 9" REFLEX LED SMART LIGHT BAR FOUR 10-WATT LED'S 45ø/15ø ELLIPTICAL BEAM Vision X USA

and the front main lights.... 8500 Home - Vision X USA

and yes we ordered btr blanks and popped the holes ourselves.

**94BloodyMary** · 07-26-2010, 10:14 AM

This truck should have been in zombieland lol

**esbyota** · 07-27-2010, 05:03 PM

Hurry up and finish this so I can copy it!

**matt_helton** · 09-01-2010, 09:05 PM

ok so everything has been powdercoated.......truck is back from the body shop now........37's are on......going to get line-x'd next......then final assembly and wiring.......

**84prerunner** · 09-01-2010, 09:07 PM

those 37s actaully look small....wtf?

**k pizzle** · 09-01-2010, 10:03 PM

**k pizzle** · 09-01-2010, 10:15 PM

just the glass or the whole truck??? thats gonna look like trash!

**matt_helton** · 09-01-2010, 10:22 PM

the sides, not the top.

**3.0ranger1227** · 09-02-2010, 08:47 AM

Those have to be the sickest bumpers I have ever seen on a truck. Unfortunately they look like my 3.slow wouldn't be able to move with them attached.

Is the whole truck going to be Line-Xed? I think it looks good with the flat black glass.

The front fenders and bedsides will be fully covered, the rear part of the tail gate (badges removed) and the bottom half of the cab (below the badges).

**GIMME SAND** · 09-11-2010, 03:13 PM

Cool truck. Crazy that it fits 37's with glass and leveling it out. Nice work BMS

**TRD_yota** · 09-12-2010, 11:42 PM

so it doesnt even rub with 37's and glass? man is this possible for the last generation HD's? man this truck looks nice and the 37's do look tiny compared to the rest of the truck. and man those bumpers are a master piece!

**matt_helton** · 09-13-2010, 06:52 AM

no it dosent rub anymore, but like i said i cut out a bunch of shit in there too!!

**TRD_yota** · 09-13-2010, 11:10 PM

oh okay i was about to tell my cousin to take his rinky dink bullet proof lift and just get your guys stuff.....the guy beats on it like it owes him money!!

**prerunsilverado** · 09-14-2010, 09:01 PM

that bolt on hoop with the lights that is bolted to the top of the bed looks cool! kinda like a cooler work truck rack.

**matt_helton** · 09-14-2010, 10:06 PM

**SOUTHBAYcanyon** · 09-14-2010, 10:55 PM

**matt_helton** · 09-15-2010, 09:11 PM

**lostinbsd** · 09-15-2010, 09:18 PM

That is a damn nice looking truck, love how the front bumper is, did you have to do any prep for the line-x on the fiberglass?

**matt_helton** · 09-16-2010, 10:05 PM

as far as the line-x goes....i have no idea. lol. we drove the truck to them, they sprayed it and then we picked it up. ha

heres some more pics from today.

**mounty71** · 09-16-2010, 11:56 PM

Are those the backup sensors in the rear bumper? I have those on my truck too and love them, so i always said i'd want to keep them if i built a new bumper. Did you need to mount them in the same position/angle as they were on the stock bumper?

**doyouquaxu** · 09-17-2010, 12:46 AM

that line x sure looks interesting haha.

**mikeridesbikes** · 09-17-2010, 04:12 PM

i love everything about this truck, but the paint is way wack yo. the line x should go to the windows. just my 2 cents for whatever that's worth. still is awesome tho. lol

**matt_helton** · 09-17-2010, 10:20 PM

**Compto** · 09-18-2010, 08:40 PM

Nice. I always hated having to manually inflate blow-up dolls.

**3.0ranger1227** · 09-18-2010, 09:25 PM

Is the Line-X totally black? I swear I saw this truck today in the mission beach/la jolla area but it kinda looked like dark olive drab. Same cage on top of the bed, similar bumpers... didn't get very close but it looked just like it

**matt_helton** · 09-19-2010, 07:35 PM

yes the line-x is totally black just like wesley snipes and no you didnt see this thing in mission beach cus its still in our shop....wiring is not complete yet.

**matt_helton** · 09-26-2010, 08:50 AM

well the very happy customer came on friday to pick up his beast. i told him to send us some pics of the zombie fighter burried in mud up to the door handles with the winch cable hooked to a 100 year old oak tree!!! lol

**SOUTHBAYcanyon** · 09-26-2010, 01:49 PM

is it done?

**redsilvy** · 09-26-2010, 01:59 PM

I really dont think it looks that bad! I would love having that thing! Wouldnt even change the paint/ line-x.

**matt_helton** · 09-26-2010, 04:58 PM
