A self-built truck is truly a proud accomplishment. Jeff Johnson can say he, with help from some friends like Randy Hamilton, built his sweet ride. A body and paint man by trade, it's no wonder his truck is bright with wild graphics, flames, skulls, and airbrushing. The top is chopped, the doors open in a custom manner, and the cab hovers over 22-inch wheels, thanks to Air Ride. Inside, the interior is fully painted with a trick audio system. The engine received tons of detail and the bed was lined in color-matching protection. This truck is so over-the-top we couldn't leave it out of the top 10.

Built entirely by the team at Auto Accessory Warehouse, this truck started out as a work truck and evolved into a full-blown show truck. Lifted high to the heavens on 45-inch Goodyear tires, this truck received a chromed and powdercoated undercarriage and suspension. Audio is the name of the game inside the lifted Chevy with eight 12-inch subs in the blow-through box. A Duramax diesel with power upgrades has no problem chirping those huge tires. Big, bad, and built for chaos, this truck is top-notch.
If you were a gangster in the '30s, who needed a sick getaway truck, this would be your chariot of mayhem. A sight that can really only be fully appreciated in person, this truck is absolutely gorgeous. An Arias all-aluminum big-block delivers 2,000 hp when the nitrous is applied and requires those huge Mickey Thompson tires to move forward. Chopped, stretched, angled back, and 'bagged; the body is a work of automotive art. It's Beauty and Beast rolled into one bright-red package.

Now you see it, now you don't. That's what it's like looking at this Real Wheels-built Hummer. It's easy to lose 565 supercharged horsepower as it blasts by. Luckily, the realistic flames airbrushed onto the all-black body makes it a little more noticeable. But be careful: because Criss may just reach out and grab you. Inside the Hummer, an all-red interior features custom touches throughout, including a touchscreen control center, racing seats, and a wild sub enclosure. It doesn't get any more magical than this.
This truck may be one of the baddest Ford F-150s ever built. Looking at its defense, the truck is 'bagged on 20-inch billet wheels, has a factory supercharger, and is a real attention-getter. Attention is easy when the Ford is bright orange with real fire, suicide doors, and a remote-activated tonneau and tailgate. The real surprise is inside the bed with four 12-inch subs in the hand-built enclosure with a 6-foot mural painted on the underside of the tonneau. Leather and fiberglass make the interior a great place to be. We love this Ford, and hope you do, too.
