Seriously how could anybody not know that was an insurance job. You have a truck with “one off everything” with no useable parts for any other vehicle.

Those people of Facebook have have no hope for this truck, it is entertaining to read. I have seen cars/trucks on UA-cam which where in a way more horrific shape and at the end they looked mint once more.
Dunno how I got here but def a zesty rig. Gotta love the builders ambition and I guess yers too. I am too old to get a "SEMA" build myself but you do you. Hopefully you will do something you enjoy vs what anyone else thinks.
new sub mad respect for doing this truck justice.. i can't wait to watch this unique truck build in a way that i can respectfully follow.. man i like this guy he has got that same genious in him on how to take another build and out build it into his own creation
@warwickandrews no problem I've been ther so many times in my life and your going about it the only way I know to do it and come out successful and happy with it when all said and done.. I've tried many other ways over the years and only had success doing it the same way ur approaching it
Dude got so mad in the Facebook comments, like dog thats cool you built a "Sema Truck", but still doesnt take away that it was a garbage build 😂. Alot of people there actually have a time crunch on their builds (doing them on time) this shmuck started late, half assed it, and then got butthurt when people pointed out how its half assed. Do it right or dont do it at all, building a vehicle for Semas as cool as joining the special olympics without a disability, its not lmao.
SEMA builds are usually garbage. As a fabricator I’ve walked SeMA and seen the most ridiculous unfinished horrible crap on display there. Missing welds, half finished and still on display. As a general rule any show truck is just that, for show and hardly functional for daily use.
Hmmmm... It seems a little odd that u work for divita auto where it was "stolen" from and somehow ends up BACK at divita auto. There's just too much to this BS scam.
I have recently come across your channel and let me tell you. You sir are a fine gentlemen. The amount of grass roots alberta UA-camrs is small. I’m loving what your doing and I’ll be watching every video. From. Legal, Alberta. ALBERTA STRONG
“Let’s all go to court. Let’s go make some law now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, some law. Bow… I say we go to court. John: Yes, let’s go to court. Ted: We’re a bunch of assholes who take up a whole hallway with our conversation. Hey, you lawyer guys. You don’t know me and Johnny are watching you. While we’re high.” Ted
Love seeing this haha. I remember when I drove past it in McLean shortly before the road was shut down by rcmp. My father and I speculated it would be dumped out there…not surprising it was.
1:30 Sorta was his fault. Is standard for any custom build the issues they experienced and not giving enough time and trying to re-engineer precise suspension systems. I mean, supplier issues are a legitimate thing, but the stuff said in that post shared sound ultimately like builder issues.
I have never seen a truck that has a suicide door lmao Also mahh gawd that interior looks sick. The word sick in context of "sick like puking out tequila shots behind a dumpsterfire"
uh you must not pay much attention. There are lots of them. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado with them. I drive a 2022 Tacoma for work that has them. Just a quick search and you'll see most trucks have had it as an option at some point fairly recently. Tacoma, Titan, Ranger, F150s, F250s, Ram....and plenty more.
Literally every extended cab since the 60s has used it. Chevy, Toyota and Dodge only just recently stopped using them and Ford still sticks to em. How the hell have you not seen a suicide door on a truck????
Thanks for the positive feedback, I enjoy my editing style too, not sure why some people are complaining, I easily could have dragged that out for an hour and made more money on view time like everyone else but when I’m watching other vids I just want them to get to the point so I try to keep everything in my videos on point
Builds like this are typical for show cars. Friend of my brothers bought an ex-showcar that won lots of awards till it was retired and used as a road car for 4 years before the friend swapped it and paid cash on his car. He intended to fix it up again but doing the bodywork discovered the huge amount of body filler in it and dodgy work. He ended up just trying to fix it so it could be drivable. The engine didn't even run right because they took the goodies off it, but he got that all put back on. The body was the biggest problem as it really needed a new factory shell.
Dang Gerts Wheels was able to find the wheels? That's pretty neat,I love his shop and selection,it's nice to have such a cool wheel shop a few minutes from my house in Ponoka.
before realizing who actually "stole" it, I was thinking why in the hell would some thieves take a showroom/mall crawling "stolen" truck to a well known off road spot? i kind of thought maybe someone really just hated that truck, so they rolled it of the side of the mountain. and i guess that was still pretty true. just wasnt thieves..
Why would anyone pay that for a truck that was ruined during the build process? Gimmicks and gadgets are only good for just the sema show. They are not usable at all. I subscribe to idea that it is your truck do as you will. But there’s a reason those trucks are sold after sema and never driven.
so are you going to include the story of the theft and insurance fraud as part of the trucks "Show and tell" for 2024? it would definitely get some attention.
We will be building it this year around that time so it won’t be but you should still get a chance to see it next year. Thanks for the kind words! I love it too lol
Do you know what’s funny when you were bidding for it A lot of people use a strategy where they bid as fast as they can and make the guy that really wants it pay ridiculous amount for it.
Those suicide doors would be sick if there wasn’t a piller in the middle….. just saying. Not sure how or if you could do that and make it roadworthy but does it really matter? 😅
@@warwickandrews yessir i am. i wanted to paint it a normal colour put it on 2.5 rockwells and redo the suspension lift. and take it back to sema and show it off again lol
I love that you didn't cover up the names or profile picture from the facebook posts. I don't know why people do that, if you didn't want your name out there, don't post anything...Anyways Hilarious video, definitely subscribed. Will you be fixing the suicide door for the passenger side? or leaving that?

Looks like something they would build on Pimp My Ride 20 years ago
I'll never understand low-profile rims on a truck. Looks ugly and deletes shock absorption from the tires.
It’s just for show, if you want mud tires go buy a tractor everything serves its own purpose in the right hands aka owners
Airbags make up for the tires.
