Elevated offroad lab custom vehicle designer/builder

“You ruined your truck, now you can’t tow with it” Yeah. Ok. The difference between stock and now with everything done to it is night and day. The @mcgaughys suspension changed the whole way this truck drives. Planted, confident, stable all of the above. Add in the @synergymfg front steering system which tightens the steering up tremendously, making the truck a joy to drive and will only be improved even more with the new stabilizer kit! Then the load leveling from @logiqair rounds out the trio for suspension and handling. Can’t also forget my friends at @genyhitch , which also contributes to the awesome towing experience with their badass hitches. I wouldn’t run anything else, ever. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for any better. The truck rides, handles, hauls, and in my opinion looks absolutely perfect. Installing soon is the killer setup from @stepnguard to save my trailers from getting beat up and rock rashed! #ruinedtruck #ford #superduty #liftedtruck #sema

If you get it… you get it. If you don’t… it’s not for you anyway. #fordtrucks #superduty #liftedtrucks #sema #powerstroke

I agree, it is awesome! Every time I drive this thing, I like it more and more. Still blows my mind how awesome it rides and handles thanks to @mcgaughys killer suspension and the heavy duty steering from @synergymfg !! Can’t forget about the awesome @logiqair airbag system that works perfectly with the suspension. Towing my 43’ 17,500 lb 5th wheel used to be a bit of a chore, tons of sway, and bucking. All that is gone. Completely, and it’s going to only improve even more with the new addition from @genyhitch !! They sent out a replacement pinbox with their torsion flex and their goosepuck setback ball. And of course @transferflow flow made it so I don’t have to stop every 290 miles with their midship 58 gallon tank, which is also built like a tank. Looking forward to some trips this year and shows! @truck_guru @mcgaughys @truckguru @bajadesigns @mickeythompsontirewheel @katzkin @fuel Offroad @kuatracks @frontrunner @egrusa @alpharex @prismaticpowders @logiqair @bolt @racktec @alpharex @warriorwinchusa @stepnguard @pelicanproducts @transferflow @synergymfg @kickeraudio @boostauto @rhinorack @bankspower @truespike @maineventemblems @wolfbox_official @1stphorm @phormenergy @semashow @tread_magazine @fseriesmagazine @pinnacle_mens_health #antimediocremensclub #stocksucks #sema #lasvegas #camping

I’ll spend my money on whatever I want lady!! lol ———. Versatility is the flex. From towing heavy trailers and oversized 5th wheel campers, to camping in the backcountry, to running trails, to holding its own at a show. @truck_guru @mcgaughys @truckguru @bajadesigns @mickeythompsontirewheel @katzkin @fuel Offroad @kuatracks @frontrunner @egrusa @alpharex @prismaticpowders @logiqair @bolt @racktec @alpharex @warriorwinchusa @stepnguard @pelicanproducts @transferflow @synergymfg @kickeraudio @boostauto @rhinorack @bankspower @truespike @maineventemblems @wolfbox_official @1stphorm @phormenergy @semashow @tread_magazine @fseriesmagazine @pinnacle_mens_health #antimediocremensclub #stocksucks #sema

Ever since I was a kid, I had a goal in the back of my mind: Have a vehicle featured in a magazine. Well… bucket list officially checked. Huge thank you to @tread_magazine for the killer feature. Seeing this build printed in those pages is surreal, and I’m beyond fired up about it. It’s also pretty cool to be in the same issue as @morganclarkedesign1 build, not going to lie. None of this happens without the right people. @truck_guru — I can’t thank you enough. From facilitating connections, to SEMA, to just being relentless at what you do — you’re a hammer in this industry and an even better friend. I’m grateful. @willhall31 @forcemotoring — when I made the genius decision to do TWO SEMA builds in 2024, SEMA Zamboni ended up taking long than I anticipated, Will stepped in and flat-out saved the Gladiator build. He handled the insane list of @metalcloak components that make this thing what it is — long arm suspension, front and rear bumpers, fenders, side steps, roof rack, full skid system, @warnindustries winch and more. Without him, it wouldn’t have made it to SEMA. Period. After SEMA, I installed @danaincorporated UD60s and 40” @mickeythompsontires Baja Boss tires wrapped around the red @fittipaldioffroad beadlocks — a combo completely that changed the attitude of the build and can’t thank Mark @automotiveeverything207 enough for always letting use the shop when I needed it! When people say this industry is built on teamwork, they aren’t exaggerating. It truly takes a crew. I’m incredibly thankful for everyone who jumps in, answers calls, turns wrenches, makes introductions, and helps bring these visions to life. Big thank you to @antdibi for shooting the photos that Tread specifically requested — absolute killer work. And I also want to recognize @904.sean — he’s always down to grab the camera anytime we’re together and puts real effort into capturing these builds. Even though his shots didn’t end up being used for this feature, the hustle and support never go unnoticed. @thatbluesix @matt.pingree Terry Roberts Mike Beauchesne And to all of our kick-ass partners — you guys are the reason builds like this are possible. Thank you!

Taking a closer look at the @elevatedoffroadlab / @truck_guru RAM 2500 build at the @senturytireusa booth at SEMA 2025! This truck got refreshed with LINE-X ReNew bedliner on its existing Premium bedliner, paired with a Retrax PRO retractable cover to accommodate the rack, and finished off with a LINE-X Expedition Storage Case. A clean, functional setup built for serious work and adventure. 💪 LINE-X Shop Shoutout: @linexofwesternmaine Main Brand Sponsor: @senturytireusa #LINEX #SEMA #Ram2500 #TruckBuild #OverlandSetup

Love this truck! So the next adventure starts December 1st. Where we will transition the truck from how it sits here to tow mode. The goal was to put together a useable truck in all aspects. And one of those is towing. So we will be removing the very simple to remove @kuatracks Ibex rack from the amazing @egrusa Rolltrac powered tonneau, and @rhinorackusa tent and awning. Luckily this is very easily done with the way these company’s have designed and thought out their products! It’s only a few minute change over. We will then be hooking onto our new @genyhitch Executive gooseneck replacement pinbox hitch (If you have a 5th wheel, you need to look into these. There is simply nothing out there that even comes close to comparing) on our 2023 42’ @easttowestrv Tandara camper and making the trek from Maine to the amazing @waltdisneyworld Fort Wilderness for a family fun week! I’m super excited to see how much better this truck tows this camper with the new @mcgaughys suspension and their killer trailing arms synced with the @logiqair AirIQ system and topped off with the @synergymfg steering system! We will also get to utilize the sick @rhinorackusa Guiderail bike rack on the camper hitch!! Don’t worry the rack will go back in when we return! #onetruckdoesitall #camping #fortwilderness

Product and company highlight- Those @bajadesigns lights!! The fit and finish and light intensity and quality is amazing!!! Check out all of their light offerings! My truck is equipped with the amber SAE DOT legal squadrons in the bumper, and the white SAE DOT legal squadrons alongside. We then have a 30” S8 combo also on the bumper. On the a pillars we have the LP4 Superduty kit which includes all necessary brackets and hardware. And up top on the rack we have the new Baja XL pro linkable light bar. Which is expandable and can follow any curve needed with the included links. Then along the sides of the truck we have the Baja rock lights for lighting up the underside of the scene. Moving back we have 4 S1 scene lights mounted on the rack for perimeter lighting and then 2 more squadrons facing the rear for shining some light on the situation backing up. Then finally on the underside of the rear bumper we have the S2 reverse light kit. And let me tell you, they made this FOOL proof. They include a jumper harness which goes in between your trailer 7 pin and it’s all done for you. Literally plug and play. Top notch. I couldn’t be happier with all of their products. And then to top is off all of our lighting is connected to the now Baja owned SPOD Bantam X. This makes everything as simple as running your wires to the unit hooking up positive and negative and you’re done. A++++++

Finally made it back home. 3,000 miles and lots of adventures along the way. Driving this truck has been nothing short of a joy. Thanks to all the partners for making it possible!! Time to rest up I’ll be back on the road again soon!
