SCRUB-BUILDS VOLUME 3: 5TH GEN RAM
Why you built it?
At the core of it, I just wanted a sweet daily driver that was a jack of all trades and made me proud to drive it. I had never modified a vehicle myself before, so I viewed each and every project as a learning experience. Adding new parts and learning new skills kinda became an addiction, and now here I am with a truck that has more money in mods than I bought the entire truck for😂
What it means to you?
Honestly I see it as a personal symbol of success. Success in taking my vision to reality. Success in tackling every project myself and learning new skills. Success in getting to work with so many amazing brands. Success in making tons of friends in the truck/off road community. Success in starting my own Ram Truck accessory company. I’ve definitely seized every opportunity that owning this truck has presented.
A memorable place your vehicle has taken you:
Crawling up trails in Lake Tahoe was definitely a peak moment. Going places where lesser built vehicles wouldn’t stand a chance is rad because it makes all the modifications worth while.
Products/Parts used:
Honestly way too many to list lol
There’s 40+ different brands and probably over 100 individual parts/modifications
Why you chose Scrubblade to be part of your build you are so passionate about?
Frankly, I like supporting brands that support the off road community! I felt like Scrubblade’s ethos aligned with mine and I feel like their products are top notch. It’s also nice to support a local company from my hometown versus a corporate giant. It’s been exciting to see Scrubblade blow up and I take inspiration from it.
