Like we said, this kid knows what he's doing, and at just 17 years of age, we can only imagine what other 4x4 building plans he may have up his sleeve. With a lot of hard work and everything to look forward to, Dustin, along with the help of his Dad, whom Dustin says made it all possible, created what turned out as "a nice off-road machine." "It performs like a dream and handles everything I challenge," says Dustin. But, of course, it does, Dustin. That's what it's built for.
