THE ACCESSORY DREAM GUIDE
CHUCK THE TRUCK
FEATURED VEHICLE
Chuck the Truck has been the name of both of JR’s F-150s.
As a child, he dreamed of driving big rigs and his father
taught him to drive on Isuzu work trucks and Jeepneys in the
Philippines. When he landed in Canada in ’08 and laid eyes
on the F150s, he promised himself that he’d drive one someday
and he’s had two: an ’11 Ingot Silver and now a ’15 Ruby Red.
The first morning he had V2.0, he “tinkered to convert my low
beam & fog halogen bulbs into LEDs.” Then he immediately
added: “mud flaps, rear well liners, weatherproof floor liners, &
window and hood deflectors for starters.” He calls this selection
“functional, yet sets it apart from stock appearance right away.”
His favourite brands are “Bulletproof and Trigger Industries”.
He likes to “support
Alberta-made companies.” His favourite add-ons
are “the Ballistic Jester 12 offset wheels and the
Bushwacker flares with Recon marker lights.”
While he is satisfied with the exterior, he wants “to
change the internal components such as AFE cold
air intake, Borla/Corsa/Gibson dual exhaust and
tuner to complement my 5.0!” He first felt the thrill of
his dream ride when “people started taking notice
of it, they’d turn their heads, want you to roll down
your windows just to say how nice of a truck it is!
Hard work paid off!” He is a member of several
Alberta F150 groups. He states that “joining these
groups sparked my interest more and pushed me
to customize my ride & set it apart.” They’ve offered
“tons of shared knowledge and experience” too.
He admits to enjoying a “bit of drifting during and
after huge snowfalls” as well as going to meets.
He loves driving the logging roads near Invermere,
BC:” Bumpy, washboard roads, scenic views, twisty
turns along the cliff side running at 80-100 kph. when
nobody’s watching!”
