Cody Lampen
Hamilton, Michigan
2002 GMC Sierra

Cody Lampen found Roxxy on Facebook straight out of high school and didn’t have an exact plan — it’s more of a take it as comes type of build.

What started out as a regular 2002 GMC Sierra grew into so much more. Cody uses his diesel build to tow his 24-foot Baja Outlaw, in addition to using it as both a daily driver and show truck. He’s done most of the modifications himself, and the list isn’t short.

It was fully tuned by Merchant Automotive, has a Wehril Custom Fabrication stage two intake, ARP head studs, PPE boost valve, aFe Power rear differential cover, SAC 45 injectors, FASS 150 pump, Starlight Headliner and a HSP coolant tank.

“It’s just shocking going back from what it looked like to what it is now,” Cody explained. “I mean, just never thought it was would look like this.”

Roxxy also has 24x14x37 American Force Octane wheels with Venum spiked lugs and Kryptonite wheel bearings.
