Thousands of specialised LED lights have been used to transform a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban into a light show on wheels. TJ Dickenson, of Titusville, Florida, is behind the pimped-out truck, which he refers to as the ‘Boom X’. It features custom LED lights that respond differently to bass, mids, and treble – creating a fully unique light show. TJ, who has been customising trucks since the mid-90s, told R.Rides: “I did all this myself. There is no truck or car in the automobile world that’s done to this magnitude.

00:00I did all this myself. I designed it myself and actually in this particular
00:05situation there's no truck or car or Iron Mode wheel in the custom world that's to this magnitude.
00:28What got me into cars is I always see these low riders with the booming systems and that's
00:34what I wanted so that's the goal that I achieved. I'm TJ Dickinson, I'm the owner of Boom X.
00:40It's a 07 Chevy Suburban. The size of the rims are 32 inch three-piece Ford Yatos. I have six
00:50Ground Zero 15 subwoofers and there's 24 10s in there right now. Well my main passion is to go out
00:59and do car shows.
01:11There's a couple of thousand LEDs in this truck. Alright what we got going on here is we have the
01:17LEDs in the steering wheel all built in.
01:20Custom made steering wheel. We also have the LEDs on the seats chase all through the whole thing.
01:25We also have a custom made headliner that also has LEDs chasing through simultaneously.
01:32And then we have the custom, the iPad here that does all my music. I have a processor, I don't
01:40even have a radio. I have a processor that does high resolution Bluetooth thing.
01:45One of my main features to wear I haven't seen done to this magnitude is where we cut the fenders
01:51completely off. We stretched them, we raised them and we welded them back on there.
01:57When I first bought it and it was stock I probably took it to 100 but now I don't take
02:03it over 75 on the highway just because of the tires.
02:08These speakers are actually so big and heavy this door probably weighs about at least 300 pounds.
02:16Basically this whole entire setup is set for a super clean look and a great sound obviously.
02:26There's actually tweeters behind each one of these tans that protrude through these speakers.
02:32It's extremely loud but more importantly as being loud it's crystal clear like a symphony.
02:53I've had the truck almost two years now. Mainly took the longest was the customization of the fenders and the
03:00paint because it took six months to do that.
03:04And then everything else came in stages of course.
03:08Somebody offered me 65 for it. No I think he said 70. And I was like I'll think about it
03:17and I'll call you back.
03:18You know and I just couldn't do it.
03:20If somebody seriously said here there's $100,000 for your truck. I would have to think about it.
03:26I go to shows where you want to go cruising on the weekend or I just need some bass in
03:32my life.
03:32I'll just go for a drive whenever and just turn the stereo up as loud as I can and just
03:38enjoy the music.
