and we make the ultimate pick up; The Compensator? yes I've heard of that
00:16 STEPHEN: Paint the bigger the truck, the smallest
package
00:19 CHRIS: I don't think we have many of those,
most of our customers have a purpose for this truck.
00:23 COMM: The sky's the limit at extreme super
truck, where one man and his crew build trucks as tall as 10 feet high for rappers, kings
and hunters a like. But the ultimate in customisation comes with a price
00:39 CHRIS: These trucks go from $89,000 to approximately
a quarter of a million dollars and everyone likes big we got a big mac, we might have
a whopper super truck.
00:48 COMM: For the past 13 years, Chris Walker
has torn apart big 4 by 4s SUVS and built them back up again from scratch in his shop
in Georgia, USA.
00:59 CHRIS: The cool thing I do is I don't take
a little truck and try to make it big, I actually take a big truck and I shrink it down. These
are commercial trucks when we buy them and we turn them into luxury pick ups. This is
how everything starts, we get a cab, a couple of doors and class seats and rubber floors
and uh fro here we start doing our magic.
01:25 COMM: Eager to see what magic Chris has performed
on his behalf is customer Stephen who cant wait to see his new truck for the first time.
01:32 STEPHEN: Its big, its black the rest I really
don't know yet, I had about a 10% input and the rest is up to him, I'm ready to see it.
Oh my god look at that, this is nothing what I looked at its friggen amazing.
01:48 CHRIS: When you lift that lid up there you
got tons of secret storage
01:53 STEPHEN: Oh yeah
01:56 CHRIS: Bad boy horn, full air ride seats,
custom centre console, you've got an off opponent stereo system, its going to sound like you're
in a concert hall and by the way I don't know if you've ever go to blow up your beach toy
or you got a flat it quads down on air you always got 10 gallons of air in this truck
with an exhilarator.
02:14 STEPHEN: Thats nice
02:16 CHRIS: The really cool thing about this ride
is that its one in the world, cheers.
02:22 COMM: All of Chris' builds are unique but
as well as size they all have power, speed and smoothness of riding one.
02:29 CHRIS: We are going to look at a red 4 by
4 door pick up and its extreme its 22 and a half feet long, its just over £15,000,
its 100 inches wide and I'd say its about 9ft 6 in height so thats going to be a comings
i guess its 350 horse power 950ft pounds of torc, the transmissions is going to be a digital
6 speed push button analisom, its a 3200 series RDF which it handles 690ft pounds of torc,
built a caldeman system, we've got no springs in our trucks we are full air ride suspensions
front and rear.All these trucks pull 25000 pounds, they get 13 miles of a gallon and
they'll do 100 miles and hour in a heart beat.
03:21 COMM: As huge as it is, this isn't even the
biggest truck that Chris makes
03:25 CHRIS: The biggest truck is a 6 door 4by4
pick up truck, its 27 feet long, its 100 inches wide, 9 to 10 feet tall depending on the tyre
package.
03:36 COMM: The huge pick up truck certainly stand
out along with vehicles of the more standard proportions.
03:42 MAN: This definitely is the dream come true
though you spend the time and the money, it's something I would like to do.
03:52 COMM: And Chris is just preferably proud of
his creations
03:56 CHRIS: You can only get this truck from one
guy in the world and it feels cool to be able to build it for them and knowing its such
a quality product.
