After the Ram was built, Keith brought it back to his shop and began the interior work, having his paint rep color matching in sections so he could keep driving the truck locally. The next step was adding a custom Ram Air hood and refinishing the bumpers to give them a cleaner look. Once that was done, a Hadley four-corner electronic control system with smart air management was installed which allowed the Ram to now be adjusted with a controller from 6 to 16 inches.
There are certain advantages to being friends with someone high up in the industry in which you are involved. For Keith Federspiel of Denver, Colorado, he has a good friend TJ Hill who runs the company FiveR Trucks out of Colorado. FiveR Trucks was using their builds on a current TV show called “The Lifted Life” airing on the Velocity channel. TJ offered Keith an opportunity to be involved, and he never looked back.
As a child, Keith lived by the motto “Bigger is better” and, of course, bigger meaning trucks. “There was something special about towering over other trucks,” Keith tells Truckin, “It just seemed natural to be unique to me.” His experiences with lifted trucks didn’t come until his sister’s boyfriend purchased one and he was able to ride in it for the first time. “We were just country boys driving to bonfires and cruising off-road,” Keith says. From that moment as a young man, he was hooked on the lifted culture.

SoCal Trucks and 4 wheel parts partner for rate my truck competion
Vince Lombardi once said; Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to is. Competition has always been a driving force in sports, business, and the like. As many of us know our lifted trucks and SUV’s are no different. With the emergence of our new “Rate My Truck” section we found it fitting to host the first ever SoCal Trucks competition.
Here’s how it works:
After many calls, emails, tweets and facebook posts regarding our “Rate My Truck” section we decided we needed to make a few changes. You folks asked to be able to rate all features of the posted vehicles and we have responded with an interactive section which gives you control to rate a truck from top to bottom and inside and out.
Beginning March 1st all trucks posted to “Rate My Truck” will be entered to win our grand prize. The contest will run from March 1st through March 31st. At the end of the month the truck with the highest overall rating will be crowned the SoCal Trucks winner. If your truck has already been submitted on “Rate My Truck” go ahead and resubmit it. Votes will only be counted for the month of March.
So what do you win?
Our good friends Chris and Hank from 4 Wheel Parts have generously donated a $100 4 Wheel Parts gift card. Use it however you would like, just make sure to send us a pic of your new purchase. The winner will also receive a SoCal Trucks t-shirt, stickers and a feature story on the SoCal Trucks homepage.
This competition starts today. So tell your friends, take some cool pics, add those last minute mods and submit your truck or SUV. We are looking forward to all of your entries and to seeing some innovative trucks and SUV’s.
Best of luck,
Dan
