Josh decided to once again open a new door and try something new and different. He

teamed up with John Vo at Pixelwerks and Scott Skepple for a unique wrap of the truck.

Many ideas were thrown around, but the only one that Josh felt had the impact he wanted

was a presidential wrap, which displayed presidents as zombies. “With the controversial

election right around the corner,” Josh says. “It was a way to stand out and make an impact.”

Nick showcased one of American Force’s newest-style wheels to make the wrap stand out

even more. A full Kelderman Air Ride suspension was added to adjust towing levels for the

trailer they would be hauling across the country.

Josh has continually moved towards new things and tested new markets. He’s gone from

a young teenager into bikes to an adult with a custom Dodge and a professional business.

There is no stopping his drive to try new things. He wishes to thank everyone who was a

helping hand along the way and can’t wait until he is able to openthe next door.
