WHEN ENRIQUE DE LUNA FROM FORT WORTH, TEXAS, SET OUT TO BUILD HIS 2016 GMC SIERRA, HE HAD A CLEAR VISION: TO CREATE A ONE-OF-A-KIND SHOW TRUCK THAT NOT ONLY TURNED HEADS BUT ALSO REFLECTED HIS PERSONAL STYLE AND DEDICATION. Named Sweet16, this teal green masterpiece is a testament to patience, hard work, and Enrique’s love for custom trucks. The transformation began with the truck’s stance.

Fast forward to 2016, when the Ranger got bagged, swapped to 18s and 20s, and saw its first major evolution. But Patrick wasn’t done yet. He decided to go lower, so…
