The Discovery Channel's latest series features Utahns tricking out trucks. Really.
"Diesel Brothers" features the team at Dieselsellerz.com — the world's largest online marketplace for anything diesel — as they "trick out trucks, work hard and play harder."
"We find trucks. We fix 'em. And then we sell 'em for a profit," said Heavy D, who headlines the show along with his pal, Diesel Dave.
Our heroes buy broken down trucks, rebuild them, make them cool and sell them. Oh, and they drive them. Really fast.
The pair are also comedians. Not standups, but they're funny guys. And they pull pranks on one another. Oh, and they drive the trucks, too. Really fast.
