I always had a knack for audio, DJing since I was 10 years old. It all started with an old '87 Mitsubishi Mighty Max that I put 2 15's in. Down the line as I began college, my business was expanding and I had bigger equipment so I needed something to haul it. I sold the truck and got a 1997 GMC Safari in 2006. I started off with small upgrades like a new grille, HID's, and an in-dash tv. I wanted to go bigger but space limitation from my DJ equipment was the limiting factor. I soon bought a uhaul for my equipment so I could turn the van into a true custom daily driver.

It started with a few 15's and some 6.5 components. I went through a few different designs through those few years winning a few trophies and then wanted to bring it to the next level. I talked to Grizz of Soundstream and soon created a complete custom van from top to bottom. Every panel was custom fiberglass, the floor went from carpet to an Oak hardwood floor, and the headliner was custom orange and black suede. I designed a box to both sound good and have a car show look. I also wanted to incorporate Soundstream into the design leading me to build a spider web on the top of the box to go along with the Tarantula T5-15 subs. I then made full custom fiberglass front and rear doors and added pull out turntables in the rear with Led DJ lights that pop out the back. It gets nothing but compliments everywhere I go and is a complete DJ mobile on wheels with lights, strobes, and Soundstream system for music. I will continue working on the van and hope to have it completely done by January for World of Wheels with gullwing, lambo, and spinning doors.
