The four-wheel-drive community is comprised of many types of rigs. For some, it's all about having a spotless, mean-looking, massive rig that towers over everything else. These owners have as much deep-seated passion for their rigs as the trail, desert racing, or rockcrawling rig owner.
Chance Kamp is like that. This Richmond, Texas, resident has a history of building big, ultra-clean, in-your-face rigs. This show-quality '05 GMC 2500 HD is his latest creation, and it utilizes some of the products he sells at his Texas-based All Out Offroad shops. The truck was designed to meld old-school brawn with the latest in truck-customizing trends. When Kamp isn't showing the truck or using it as a daily commuter, he says it serves him well during trips to the coastline around Matagorda for some beach exploration.
A collection of bolt-ons adorn the exterior of the rig. There's a front-mounted N-fab Pre-runner bar with three PIAA lights, side-mounted N-fab Nerf-Steps, and an N-fab Rear-runner bar with a pair of PIAA lights. There's also a set of Bushwacker Pocket Style fender flares. All of these components have been painted to match the color of the truck. Rounding out the exterior mods is a Lund billet-aluminum Elliptical grille, a bed-mounted spare, and a set of 22x11 MKW MK19 chrome wheels pressed into a set of 40x15.5 Toyo Open Country M/T tires.
The rear of the truck received 13 inches of lift via Full Throttle leaf springs. It also features four chrome Fox remote-reservoir shocks, a custom N-fab axle truss, and a pair of custom ladder bars. Like the front, all of the suspension components were either powdercoated or chromed. The rear axle, like the front, was regeared with Yukon 4.56:1 gears and the factory limited-slip rear differential was retained. Check out that tailpipe. It's the culmination of an MBRP exhaust that was cut and custom bent to exit from the center of the vehicle.
Inside the truck, Kamp kept things simple yet functional. He tastefully integrated a DVD player with a 7-inch LCD video monitor into the center console using a custom mount. Other interior mods include an overhead console-mounted Edge Outlook monitor and a 13-inch overhead video monitor for the rear-seat passengers. | 
The 6.6L Duramax diesel engine received some proven upgrades like an Airaid intake system, five-level Edge controller, and an MBRP stainless steel 4-inch-diameter exhaust. Power is routed through the stock Allison five-speed transmission to the stock two-speed transfer case. |
Here you can see the attention to detail found under the GMC. The frame was completely stripped of its factory finish and painted gloss black. You can also see the many powdercoated, polished, and/or chromed components. | |
Specifications
Fourteen inches of front suspension lift is generated by a Full Throttle kit. The front suspension mods also include a pair of chrome Fox remote-reservoir shocks at each wheel mounted to Full Throttle double shock hoop kits. In an effort to make the underside look as good as the topside, Kamp either powdercoated or chromed all of the suspension components. The front differential with 4.56:1 Yukon gears is spun by a custom CV driveshaft.
