00:00I own trucks, live trucks, breathe trucks, and I've spent my whole life so far.
00:06This is filthy, a burnt out truck, heaps of smoke.
00:10Yep, Michael Lake, owner of Truckin' Stainless here in Brisbane, Australia, this is my truck
00:33that I've built for burnouts.
00:40It's got a 28 litre Cummins, that's a white 4000, 75 model, it's got twin turbos, all
00:56custom made.
00:58Passion for trucks has been since I was a young boy, I was a truck driver most of my
01:04life.
01:05I just had enough of it, wanted to get out of it, try something different, so we started
01:11at home, built it up from home, gone from there.
01:15I drew pictures of it when I first started building it and just sort of went from there.
01:20It's pretty much what it looks like on the picture, it's one of a kind.
01:28Started with a set of diffs, started with a set of diffs, put the motor and box in place,
01:43string lined it on my concrete and we started building the truck from there.
01:47Yeah, it's all pretty much all custom.
01:50The build's taken seven years, we go from starting with a cab that was rusted out to
01:56putting it all together.
01:59Just every night pretty much, yeah, after I'd finish work I'd just go out there and
02:02just start work on that until I had enough and then go back up inside and then get up
02:07and do it all over again.
02:08It's a bit of an old school look, we've got a lift up bumper, it all tilts out, lifts
02:14up so I can get over speed bumps and what not.
02:17It's a custom grill, we've manufactured and all done here in house.
02:23You see these gauges, they've all got our own custom truck and stainless logo in them.
02:27That's a pretty cool little feature we've got, it looks pretty good at night too, it'll
02:32all light up.
02:33Up here we've got our front brakes, so we'll hold them down to do a burn out and we'll
02:39hold them down until we're done.
02:41The hardest part would be to, I was originally marrying the box and the motor up, other than
02:56that, yeah we just worked on it until we got it, until we worked it out.
03:00A bit of a feature would be, I reckon would be the grill, I definitely like the front
03:04look of it, it's definitely in your face.
03:07A custom steering wheel here with a quick release, I've got the Transformer logo over
03:12here because everyone reckons it's a bit of a bumblebee.
03:15The whole building process probably, I wouldn't have put a price to it, but yeah probably
03:2050,000.
03:23The engine is a V12 1710 Cummins, 28 litre, it's rated at 900 horsepower and 4000 foot
03:30pound of torque, they can go to like 2300 horsepower or 4 turbos, that's really cracking.
03:37Nah, I don't think I'd ever sell it, it's just part of the family now.
03:41My friends are a bit jealous of it, or filthy, but it's all good.
03:46I get to take them for a run around the block and they soon change their mind.
03:49This truck is outstanding, like I really think it's beyond words, it's the best truck in
03:56Australia out there, in Australia for sure.
03:58Yeah, I'm proud of the truck we've built, all the work we've done to it, all the customisation,
04:05one of a kind kind of a truck, it's definitely different, definitely proud of it.
