“A lot of things had to come together to make this work,” Fischer explained. “A lot of individuals were involved in the build.”

 Looking at the logos on the truck, it’s quick to see a lot of companies that came together to help on this build. A quick rundown includes: 2nd Street Customs, Rigid, WeatherTech, Chucky Courly Wrap Install, Merit Chevrolet, Wehrli Custom, Madsen Machine & Design, Kelderman, Fury Off Road, ECDWraps.com, American Force, Line-X Jamestown, Krueger Diesel, Amsoil, www.Woldfab.com, Shifted Industries, Warn, KPMF, Fox, Shader Image and MBRP Powersports.

Fischer pointed out that even with all the great products that were included in the build, there were plenty of elbow grease and workmanship put into every aspect of the build.

 The frame had to be stripped down and powdercoated. “It wasn't like it was like ‘Hey, let's grab a couple cans of spray paint and let's color the frame brown on the front,’” he explained. It had to be baked in the oven. And the grill on the front that says “Kelderman” is a new prototype grill.

Fischer said that Kelderman was great to work with.

“Because of what we were trying to accomplish, Kelderman knew the magnitude of the build. They wanted to be a part of it and wanted it to be in their booth,” Fischer said. It impressed him that Kelderman was willing to “share some of the spotlight with other aftermarket manufacturers within their booth.”

Kelderman makes a great suspension, along with all the other products to market. “They put all of that aside and didn't even care about the other company's front end, which is pretty cool,” he said. “Jeff Kelderman … he's a snowmobiler as well. He loves to ride so I’ll take him west to the mountains this winter. He’s excited to go.”

So the truck features a Kelderman rear suspension and air ride, Kelderman bumpers and grill, Cognito front suspension and Fox Shocks. Rigid Industries did all the lighting and Line-X of Jamestown covered the bed and custom retrofitted sled deck.

The truck also had MBRP Exhaust combined with P1 delete and stainless steel brakes from SSBC. All-In Truck Performance provided the tune. “These guys make it happen,” Fischer said. “We ran it in Vegas without the tracks—that thing is fast.”

Fischer said the entire truck has a custom wrapped by ECD Customs. Everything under the hood was done by Wehrli Custom Fab.
