The Blue Garage

Truly humbling that they climbed up that high just to do this for me… 😂

Maybe that explains why the channel jumped from 5k to over 16k over the last 3 months! 📈

How to create this shot with AI 👇

Start with a clear photo of your truck and tell the AI:

“Transform this image into a photorealistic nighttime desert scene in the Ocotillo Wells whoops. Keep the truck exactly as photographed. Simulate a Canon camera with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens at 70mm, f/9 aperture, ISO 100, and 1/30-second shutter speed. Add a bright full moon, realistic moonlight, slight airborne dust and sand, motion blur in the terrain, and visible Baja Designs light beams projecting forward through the dust. Keep the truck sharp while the background and sand show speed and motion.”

The secret sauce:
📸 Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 70mm
📸 f/9
📸 ISO 100
📸 1/30 sec shutter
🌙 Full moon lighting
💨 Slight dust for visible light beams
🏁 Motion blur in the whoops, sharp truck

Amazing what AI can do with a single photo.

Two moments, same truck. 📸

The first shot was taken while filming a new video for the channel. Cameras rolling, lights on, and another project coming together one mod at a time. The second was after breakfast, when I couldn’t resist grabbing another photo because sometimes the truck just looks too good not to.

One thing I’ve learned through this build is that progress isn’t always about the next big modification. Sometimes it’s about stepping back and appreciating how far you’ve already come. Every late night in the garage, every install, every setback, and every win adds up to create something uniquely yours.
