Thousands of specialised LED lights have been used to transform a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban into a light show on wheels. TJ Dickenson, of Titusville, Florida, is behind the pimped-out truck, which he refers to as the ‘Boom X’. It features custom LED lights that respond differently to bass, mids, and treble – creating a fully unique light show. TJ, who has been customising trucks since the mid-90s, told Barcroft TV: “I did all this myself. There is no truck or car in the automobile world that’s done to this magnitude.

00:00 I did all this myself, I designed it myself and actually in this particular
00:05 situation there's no truck or car or automotive wheel in the custom world
00:10 that's to this magnitude.
00:27 What got me into cars is I always see these lowriders with the booming systems
00:32 and that's what I wanted so that's the goal that I achieved. I'm TJ Dickinson
00:37 I'm the owner of BoomX. It's a 07 Chevy Suburban. The size of the rims are a 32
00:46 inch three-piece forged autos. I have six ground zero 15 subwoofers and there's
00:53 24 10s in there right now. Well my main passion is go out and do car shows.
01:02 There's a couple of thousand LEDs in this truck. Alright what we got going on
01:14 here is we have the LEDs and the steering wheel all built in custom made
01:20 steering wheel. We also have the LEDs on the seats chased all through the whole
01:25 thing. We also have a custom-made headliner that also has LEDs chasing
01:30 through simultaneously. And then we have the custom the iPad here that does all
01:37 my music. I have a processor, I don't even have a radio, I have a processor that
01:41 does high-resolution Bluetoothing. One of my main features to where I haven't
01:47 seen done to this magnitude is where we cut the fenders completely off, we
01:52 stretched them, we raised them, and we welded them back on there. When I first
01:58 bought it, it was stock, I probably took it to 100 but now I don't take it over 75
02:04 on the highway just because of the tires. These speakers are actually so big and
02:11 heavy this door probably weighs about at least 300 pounds. Basically this whole
02:17 entire setup is set for a super clean look and a great sound obviously. There's
02:26 actually tweeters behind each one of these tins that protrude through these
02:31 speakers. It's extremely loud but more importantly as being loud it's crystal
02:39 clear like a symphony.
02:42 I've had the truck almost two years now. Mainly took the longest was the
02:58 customization of the fenders and the paint because it took six months to do
03:03 that and then everything else came in stages of course. Somebody offered me 65
03:11 for it, or no, I think he said 70 and I was like I'll think about it and I'll call
03:17 you back. You know and I just I just couldn't do it. If somebody says yeah
03:21 here here's a hundred thousand dollars for your truck I would have to think
03:25 about it. I go to shows, we want to go cruising on the weekend or I just need
03:30 some bass in my life I'll just go for a drive whenever and just turn the stereo
03:36 up as loud as I can and just enjoy the music.
03:41 you
03:43 you
03:45 you
03:47 you
03:49 (upbeat music)
03:52 you
