- Am Keith Gornjak
I'm the operations manager
for T.A.A.G The All American Garage.
It's a nonprofit that supports men
and women who serve our country and our communities.
The president is a gentleman, Ray Dana
that works for our company.
He pitch around the idea to start a nonprofit.
And I started backing him right away,
said do it.
And he did.
And then behold, he asked me to be operations manager
and I jumped at the chance and my wife is in it too
my kids do it and do anything to help support
and serve the ones that serve us.
Keana Police Department was looking at another K9.
So we helped spread the word and take donations
and everything to help them get the K9.
And we ended up giving them, you know
enough funds to help the lady officer who
got the K9 to get it supplied at her house.
There was a firefighter that had cancer.
So we had a broad fry
and did some donations for him to help him
with everything he needs, you know, stuff like that.
It's great.
I mean, to be able to give
to people who give all the time
it's better than anything else
never need to receive.
I'm not one to receive actually
(laughs)
I hate receiving myself
but I like to give.
I mean, I'm an point in my life now
the kids that are older and stuff that,
I mean we can do a lot of this stuff.
I mean and that's why I want to build this.
(animation effect)
I've been saving up
for a long time and I mean, don't get me wrong
I want a pretty Badass truck.
But at the same time
to be able to represent T.A.A.G makes it even better.
Yeah, so 2006 GMC Sierra SLT
it was pretty clean when I got it.
Had Tim's auto body here in Appleton
do my rockers and panels
and stuff they're more of a collision center
but I work with them for quite a few years
and they're great company, very much family owned.
Got it back from them.
And I got a Custom Hood out of California
from Street Concept, which is a totally different look
piece it up a lot of bit
with a so it's HD hood with a two inch cowl on it.
And then I took it to Muntz Audio.
So they put four, six
by five Rockford forsgate speakers on it.
It's got some music.
So then when we're in the parades,
you know, when I'm coming.
From there, I went to probably about took a month,
or two months between me and my wife and Sign Country
in a little shoot to put together the wrap stuff,
so I wanted something nobody else would have.
And they pulled through.
I mean, it is pretty sick.
I drove that truck around for about four days
and I think a lot of people almost broke their necks,
So it's pretty cool.
Yeah, so now I've kind of handed the project off to Cody
and he's gonna go crazy with it
and give him full artistic ability
to go at it
because I've seen what he's built here
and some of the sickest trucks I've ever seen.
I mean, I see all the parts are sitting over there
so I'm getting pretty excited.
So,
(upbeat music)
- It's this thing, Gorn.
Alright.
So here is the majority of everything going on this truck.
We have everything set up to go
two nine inches
we're trying to get the most out of this truck.
Some additional stuff
We got kryptonite upper control arms here.
Those are obviously not part of the kit
but if we're gonna do this,
we're gonna do it the right way.
So we got those as well.
We got our new torsion keys
so we can get that nine inches out of it.
This is now, they're gonna be like a premium kit
so we've got compression struts
we keep going down here,
you'll see we've got some auto lifts
now this is how you get the nine inches in the back.
We got our lift knuckles.
And then this again is in addition
is gonna be the Magos traction bars,
you'll see that they're clearly not finished
This is how you get them
You get them raw,
you powder coat them
to whichever you would like
Some Oracle Wheel Lights
gonna have some rock lights too
we don't have those quite yet.
And some other stuffs.
And everything's in this pretty, silver
that's it's not gonna be that anymore.
This is gonna get sent out for powder coat.
When we put it in,
get everything set
do all our drilling, all of our cutting and all that stuff
and then take it back out and then get it powder coated.
- The theme is, you know, "Pretty Much America".
So the powder coat's gonna be all brass,
stuff like that.
So it really goes with
the theme of the truck
stock and the coating them
and they strongly suggested going
with kryptonite
because they do heavy pulled trucks and stuff like that.
So I told them I needed two things out of this.
One, to be the most Badass trucks around.
Number two, is that it drives, it functions
as a truck and I can daily drive it.
The parts that are going on this
I could pull a house off the foundation with that sucker.
It's gonna be, quite the scene.
And then with that high gloss brass
should kick off a lot of
the powder code at the same time.
I'll be about two years ago, I came in
was asking Cody about some stuff
of what I do to my truck, how I wanna do it.
And it got me really excited
so I started saving.
I got to the point where I'll ask some kind
of stuff, you know, for me and my wife
cause the kids are at that age where you can't really leave,
so then we decided
that we gonna get a Hot Rod.
I'm like, let's go for a Hot Rod
well then with that, you know
you got another car, you got insurance
you got more payments, you got all this stuff
so she's like, why don't you do your truck?
I'm like, are you serious?
She's like, yeah.
I'm like, no take backs.
I'm like cause when I do something
and she's like, and I asked what's the budget
well we can do the same done.
And then now we get this,
and I cannot wait to see when it's done.
- So this is gonna be like a rough install
cause like, look at that shock.
Those are not gonna be white either
cause that's not gonna match our theme.
So is gonna be a rough install so we can scratch stuff
and grind on it and cut it up
and then we'll take it all
out and make it pretty and put it all back in.
So I basically have to build this truck twice
and it's gonna be super fun.
- It's about 25 days away
is Happy Memorial Parade
and that's gonna be the first big show it's in.
(gun shots)
It's be ATS debut
and, oh it's about the same as when i brought it,
but Cody's on it
so I'm really not too worried about it
cause I don't think that command knows how to fail
if anybody's doing these kind of bills
I suggest having paint shoes
and being able to reschedule
(laughs)
quite a bit.
Cause it takes a lot but,
- What wheels are you getting?
- Oh Arkon
- Arkon
- Yeah, they're in that box.
(sighs)
Log nuts included Lincolns yeah
Let us, not yet.
Look that huge.
A semi is 22 inch.
These are 26 dude,
they gonna be sick.
That is gonna be fricking awesome.
You know, wheels are awesome
when your wife looks
at them and she says, this is beautiful.
Alright.
The end, you know
you had a fricking awesome wife when that happens.
It's gonna be wide.
It's gonna drive down the street
like it's a boss, which is American.
So it makes sense over the top
and ready to shove it in your face.
My truck is Badass, it's right there.
Like seriously,
(laughs)
it's just killing me,
it's right there looking at me.
It looks awesome now.
Wait till it gets done
with all this stuff, that's gonna be insane.
Of course the young kid say it should be lit
- yeah
- or it's on fire, right?
Fire is the one, you know
that steam makes no sense at alright?
Fire smores they got it these kids are stupid.
(bright upbeat music)
So big vision for, the truck.
And for T.A.A.G,
The All American Garage is to get big.
I mean there's some pretty big nonprofits
out there right now
that do just veterans in just certain areas.
I mean, I wanna make this
to where everybody knows it throughout the whole country.
When they think to give to community
they think All American Garage.
Community to me should be what it used to be.
Somebody needs help you help them
it should be an extended family.
Just go over there and help.
You need two things.
You gonna make them feel good
you gonna tell them
that there's people out there that care
and you gonna feel good.
It's a great way to feel good about yourself.
Just help other people.
I mean,if you have the right to have it,
you gotta earn it.
And part of the way earning it,
is to help other people.
We're working on 47 Willys CJ2A,
we're doing that to help promote.
We gonna try to do the paint job with all murals
of all the different battles and walls
and stuff in it,
instead of just having your normal Willy's out there
so then when we have it at broad fries
or events that is some people
can learn of, the worst sacrifices
is the worst stuff done, you know
maybe donate to a nonprofit that supports veterans.
And I mean mental health
and everything is extremely important for them.
Right now we're just locally
you know, some people know about us,
some people don't.
I wanna get this to be huge.
That's a big part of doing this
is to be known across the country
so they can go
to Facebook and go to The All American Garage
and click the link and donate
so we can give the money
out and to people who need it.
