Brothers Dustin and Brandon Naivar know this better than most, because they’ve taken their passion for great trucks and their talent for creative metalwork and welded the two together to form Showtime Metal Works. The result of their passion, dedication, and talent speaks for itself. SECOND-GENERATION CRAFTSMEN Dustin and Brandon grew up around the steel fabrication business, because their dad was in the trade. The young men started spending their childhood around welders and metal fab equipment almost as soon as they could walk. In addition to a love of metalworking, the Naivar brothers also developed an interest in 4×4 trucks – the taller the better. Building the best in lifted trucks became the brothers’ driving mission and they began preparing and taking their own trucks to shows across their home state of Texas. Eventually this hobby progressed into a business and they took a big jump to open Showtime Metal Works. Now it’s their life’s work to build the best possible trucks for themselves and their customers, every day.Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter The Duramax Diesel breathes easy with an AEM cold air intake. PUTTING THE MAX IN DURAMAX Dustin’s latest personal truck is a 2010 Chevy Silverado 3500 DRW 4×4, powered by a Duramax diesel. As a dedicated bowtie man, Dustin has built two previous custom trucks for his own use. The first was a 2007 Silverado 1500 4×4 and the second was a 2007 Silverado 2500HD SRW, also Duramax diesel powered. You might say it’s been a journey to this particular destination. Building the best in lifted trucks became the brothers’ driving mission and they began preparing and taking their own trucks to shows across their home state of Texas. Dustin’s reliable Duramax breathes in through an AEM cold air intake, and then a Garrett 61MM turbo pumps up the boost to an eye-popping 32 psi. Fuel is fed to the engine by an AirDog 165 fuel pump and air separation setup that provides 165 gallons a minute of fuel flow, at a constant 8-10 psi. This wild Duramax Dually truck shows well and drives even better. The 10-inch lift makes no compromises and the balanced proportions make this truck stand out in any crowd. The exhaust begins with 5-inch downpipes, connected to a 5-inch Flo~Pro exhaust system. The exhaust dumps just ahead of the rear axle, through a 5-to-8-inch step-up, MBRP exhaust tip. To further maximize power, Dustin selected an EFILive tuner to tweak the fuel delivery for a balance of maximum performance and reasonable economy. He also added a DSP5 unit from EFILive to allow himself to switch between five user-defined tunes on the fly. All the custom tuning was performed by Dirty’s House of Diesel, right in Dustin’s hometown of Taylor, Texas. Dustin tells us the power is up to around 900 pound-feet and 500 horsepower at around 3,700 rpm. To keep this beast of an engine alive, Dustin chose a Fluidyne oil cooler to help keep temps down. Dustin swears by Lucas Oil products to keep temps down and extend overall service life in every truck he owns. Here you can see the front half of the Rize 8-10-inch suspension. It’s critical that the shocks be matched to the suspension to keep all that weight under control. The tires of choice are Nitto Trail Grapplers, size 38×13.50R24. These are mounted on American Force 24-inch Scope wheels. Six wheels are required to roll down the road in style on this dually. TOUGH ON THE UNDERSIDE All that fantastic engine torque is transferred through the stock Allison 1000, six-speed automatic to the stock NP263 transfer case. The Allison has been upgraded to a deep pan and external cooler from PPE. The T-case is still in stock trim and the 2.72:1 low range is just right for Dustin’s needs. Power is sent to the stock rear axle that sports custom Yukon 4:88-1 gearing, a PPE diff cover and the stock LSD. The front axle was also upgraded to 4:88-1 gearing from Yukon. Power hits the pavement, or dirt, via six Nitto Trail Grappler tires in 38×13.50R24. These are mounted on American Force 24-inch Scope wheels. This truck sports a 10-12 inch Rize Industries suspension, remote-reservoir Fox 2.0 shocks and tubular upper control arms. The rear driveshaft is stock, but the front was upgraded to a dual-CV setup. In addition, longer, braided stainless steel brake lines ensure that full suspension travel won’t tug at the brake system. Rize heavy-duty tie-rods and traction bars round out the suspension upgrades. The 8-10-inch Rize lift rides great. The drop-down on the brackets ensures good geometry as well as a smooth and stable ride. A high-capacity aluminum rear differential cover from PPE has been swapped for the stock cover. This aftermarket beauty adds oil capacity and aids in shedding heat. You can also see the remote-reservoir Fox 2.0 rear shocks and the Rize suspension mountings too. Here you can see the tubular upper control arm drop-down and the Fox 2.0 remote-reservoir shock setup that controls this truck’s motion. TOUGH ON TOP On the exterior, the stock grille shell has been color-matched to the truck’s no-nonsense Graystone Metallic. Dustin and Brandon created the STMW (Showtime Metal Works) two-piece grille insert. The front fender flares are made by EGR, then painted to match the body and complement the stock rear dually fenders. Dustin works hard to keep Showtime at the forefront of truck technology, and this truck proves the results. The front and rear bumpers also showcase the best from STMW. These steel teeth are unique and strong. The front bumper sports two Rogue 4 40-Inch Delta Series, double-row LED light bars. Each of these torches puts out enough light for driving off the grid, even on moonless nights. The rear STMW bumper sports two 6-inch LED lights. These are great for backing up at night, hooking up a trailer, or just for setting up camp. The stock headlamps have been upgraded to LED units from Plain An Simple, with the STMW logo etched into them. What else would Dustin put on his bumper other than his own STMW unit? This bumper sports twin 40-inch Delta Series, double-row LED light bars. You can also see the LED front corner lights, the LED headlights and the color-matched grille shell. The factory stereo/navigation head unit was retained, but Wet Sounds 6-inch speakers in the door and center console boost the tunes quite well. The seats are black leather and the trim pieces have all been color-matched with the exterior. Other body-related upgrades include a spray-in bedliner, Retrax bed cover, and AMP Research retractable sidesteps. The door handles and side mirrors have also painted to match the body. Asid Graphic did the vinyl work. Inside, the seats are black leather and the trim pieces have all been color-matched to the exterior. An A-pillar mount houses Pro-Sport oil temp, water temp and EGT gauges. Wet Sounds 6-inch speakers in the door and center console boost the sounds from the factory stereo and GPS navigation head unit. The factory sub and tweeters were retained. A final interior touch is a set of cool LED dome and map lights, which are whiter and brighter than the stock bulbs. Dustin works hard to keep Showtime at the forefront of truck technology, and this truck proves the results, but it also shows that he knows how to play hard. Driving a show-winning truck as your daily driver is even better when it’s your work truck too. But then, a serious passion for trucks is a tradition in the Naivar family. Dad may have started things off, but Dustin and his brother Brandon have taken it to a whole new level. DW The rear bumper is also a Showtime unit. It’s stronger than stock, looks better, and sports LED backup lights. Here you see the triple Kleinn air horns and the air tank that feeds them. Because really, would a truck like this have a wimpy horn? To make entry easier with the 8-10-inch Rize lift, a set of AMP Research steps were installed. When you’re running more power than the factory intended, you need to keep an eye on things. To better monitor the engine, an A-pillar mount houses Pro-Sport oil temp, water temp and EGT gauges.
