Jesus Saves, We Spend

BOREDOM CAN HIT ANYONE, BUT MAYBE NOT QUITE AS FIERCELY AS IT HITS THOSE WHO HAVE “FINISHED” THEIR PROJECT TRUCK. Sure, there’s the enjoyment of finally being able to drive it, or possibly even the excitement of getting props at a show, but then what? I mean, half of the fun is the build process itself, isn’t it? Once that part is done, it can often feel like something is missing.

In some cases, an owner will just sell the truck off to fund a new project that has caught their interest, but sometimes they’ll come to the realization that a revamp is what’s really in order. After all, there’s no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater if a few tweaks here and there will result in falling in love with your ride all over again!

Elias Haroun of La Puente, California, knows the struggle. As someone who has already built his fair share of custom rides, he hit a crossroads when he started to get bored with his 2011 Chevy Silverado. Should he unload it to build something else, or should he redo the truck? We should ​mention that at this point, it was already bagged and body-dropped with a ton of other custom work put into it, and Elias had bought the truck brand new off the lot in 2011. As you can see, he ended up keeping it and making it better than ever!
