00:01Own trucks, live trucks, breathe trucks, and it's been my whole life so far.
00:06This is filthy, a burnout truck, heaps of smoke.
00:14Yep, I'm Michael Lake, owner of Truckin' Stainless here in Brisbane, Australia.
00:19This is my truck that I've built for burnouts.
00:30It's got a 28 litre Cummins, that's a white 4000, 75 model.
00:42It's got twin turbos, all custom made.
00:45Passion for trucks has been since a young boy.
00:49Yeah, I was a truck driver most of my life.
00:52And yeah, just had enough of it.
00:54Wanted to get out of it, try something different.
00:57So we started at home, built it up from home, gone from there.
01:02I drew pictures of it when I first started building it and just sort of went from there.
01:07It's pretty much what it looks like on the picture.
01:11It's one of a kind.
01:14I started with a set of diffs, started with a set of diffs, put the motor and box in place,
01:29string lined it on my concrete and we started building the truck from there.
01:34Yeah, it's all pretty much all custom.
01:38The build's taken seven years.
01:40We go from starting with a cab that was russed out to putting it all together.
01:46Just every night pretty much, yeah, after I'd finished work,
01:49I'd just go out there and just start working on that till I had enough
01:52and then go back up inside and then get up and do it all over again.
01:56It's a bit old school look.
01:58We've got a lift up bumper.
02:00It all tilts out, lifts up so I can get over speed bumps and whatnot.
02:05It's a custom grill we've manufactured and all done here in the house.
02:10You see these gauges, they've all got our own custom truck and stainless logo in them.
02:14It's a pretty cool little feature we've got.
02:17It looks pretty good at night too, all light up.
02:20Up here we've got our front brakes.
02:22So we'll hold them down to do a burnout.
02:26We'll hold them down until we're done.
02:36The hardest part would be to...
02:40I was originally marrying the box and the motor up.
02:43Other than that, we just worked on it until we worked it out.
02:46The feature would be...
02:48I reckon it would be the grill.
02:50I definitely like the front look of it.
02:52It's definitely in your face.
02:54A custom steering wheel here with a quick release.
02:57I've got the transformer logo over here
03:00because everyone reckons it's a bit of a bumblebee.
03:02The whole building process probably...
03:05I wouldn't have put a price to it, but yeah, probably $50,000.
03:10The engine is a V12 1710 Cummins, 28 litre.
03:14And it's rated at 900 horsepower and 4,000 foot pound of torque.
03:18They can go to like 2300 horsepower or four turbos.
03:23That's really cracking.
03:25Nah, I don't think I'd ever sell it.
03:27It's just part of the family now.
03:28My friends are a bit jealous of it, or filthy.
03:32It's all good.
03:33I get taken for a run around the block and they soon change their mind.
03:36This truck is outstanding.
03:39Like, I really think it's beyond words.
03:42It's the best truck mostly out there in Australia for sure.
03:45Yeah, I'm proud of the truck we've built.
03:48All the work we've done to it and all the customisation.
03:51One of a kind kind of a truck.
03:54It's definitely different.
03:55Definitely proud of it.
03:57I'm definitely proud of it.
03:58I'm definitely proud of it.
