Ram Van Gets Build-Out with Storage and More

One of the biggest game changers in any van build-out is custom shelving. Say goodbye to wasted time searching for tools or sifting through loose equipment. With a tailored shelving system, everything has its place—from power tools and fasteners to inventory and paperwork. Whether you’re an electrician, plumber, HVAC tech, or mobile repair specialist, a well-organized interior means faster service calls and fewer misplaced items.

These shelves can be designed to match your specific tools and gear, with heavy-duty materials built to withstand the daily rigors of the job. Optional features like locking drawers, pull-out bins, and bulkhead partitions can take your setup to the next level of convenience and professionalism.

Security First: Reinforced Door Locks

Your van isn’t just a vehicle—it carries the tools and materials that keep your business running. That’s why upgraded door locks are an essential part of a van build-out. Factory-installed locks often aren’t enough to deter theft, especially when your van is left parked at a job site or overnight.

High-security locking systems, including deadbolts and internal locking mechanisms, provide added protection and peace of mind. Options like slam locks, which automatically secure the doors when shut, or alarm-integrated locks add extra layers of defense. Keeping your gear safe means fewer unexpected costs, less downtime, and greater confidence every time you walk away from your van.

Work Anytime, Anywhere: Interior Lighting

Early mornings, late nights, and dim garages are no match for a van that’s equipped with professional-grade lighting. LED strip lighting inside your cargo area ensures you can see every part of your workspace clearly—no flashlight necessary. Mounted ceiling lights or motion-activated options are popular upgrades that help reduce eye strain and improve efficiency during nighttime or low-light jobs.

Don’t forget exterior lighting too—roof-mounted floodlights or side-mounted work lamps can illuminate your work area, improving safety and visibility when you’re working outside the van.

Ready to Build Your Dream Van?

A professional van build-out isn’t just about convenience—it’s about empowering your business. From better organization and faster workflows to improved security and visibility, every detail contributes to a more professional and profitable operation.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade your existing setup, investing in shelving, door locks, and lighting can transform your van from basic transportation into a reliable, high-performance mobile workspace.

Let us help you bring your vision to life. Contact us today to discuss your van build-out and get a custom quote tailored to your trade and goals.

Chevrolet 4500 Kodiak Gets Fully Custom

Next Level Chevrolet C4500 2006 Store Front Profile

At Next Level Inc., we take pride in elevating every project we touch — and this 2006 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak was no exception. This iconic, heavy-duty truck underwent a complete transformation, blending rugged performance with custom styling and modern comfort. Every detail of the vehicle is customized and installed precisely. From the custom Battleship wrap to upgraded audio and flooring.

Take a closer look at everything that went into bringing this beast to life:

Exterior Transformation: Strength Meets Style

🚛 Full Vehicle Wrap

Notice the bold Battleship-themed wrap covering the entire vehicle. Designed to give the C4500 a tactical, commanding presence, the wrap spans the body, front bumper, and head rack. This custom look turns heads and sets the tone for the rest of the upgrades, delivering a military-grade aesthetic that is both sleek and aggressive.

🎨 Custom Gloss Black Paint

To complement the wrap, we refinished key components of the truck in a high-gloss black paint, creating a striking contrast and polished finish. 

Painted areas included:

  • Front Grille
  • Chrome Trim
  • Fender Vents
  • Side Mirrors
  • Door Handles
  • Rear Cab Handles
  • Hood Latches
  • Hood Handles

We also applied a smoked amber tint to the side mirror indicators, subtly darkening the lenses for a cleaner, more unified exterior appearance. Every painted part underwent meticulous prep and finishing to ensure maximum durability and a flawless, mirror-like shine.

🛠️ Heavy-Duty Powder Coating

For the parts that endure the most wear, we took protection even further with professional powder coating, providing a rugged layer of resilience against the elements. 

Powder-coated components included:

  • Bed Rails
  • Mirror Arms and Mounts
  • Grille Overlays
  • Vent Overlays

The result is a tough, durable finish that will not chip, peel, or corrode — ideal for a workhorse like the C4500.

Wheels, Tires, and Alignment: Built to Roll

🔥 Premium Wheel & Tire Package

The C4500 now rides in style on a brand-new setup featuring:

  • American Force 24″ x 8 ¼” wheels
  • Nitto Ridge Grappler LT315/50R24 tires

This combination offers the best of both worlds — aggressive off-road performance and street-ready attitude. We handled the mounting, balancing, and alignment process in-house at Next Level to ensure a perfect fit, optimum tire wear, and a smooth ride across all terrains.

Lighting & Installation: A Brighter, Safer Truck

💡 Full Exterior Lighting Upgrade

To complete the exterior transformation, we upgraded all exterior lights. Enhanced lighting improves safety and visibility while modernizing the overall appearance, bringing the exterior up to standards of brightness and style.

Interior Enhancements: Comfort and Sound Performance

🔊 JL Audio Sound System Upgrade

We brought high-end sound to match the impressive new exterior by installing:

  • JL Audio 6.5” Coaxial Speakers
  • JL Audio 6.5” 2-Way Component Speakers

We upgraded the sound system for better signal clarity and power distribution. Whether cruising the highway or parked at the job site, the C4500 sounds as impressive as it looks.

🧹 SeaDek® Marine Flooring Installation

We installed premium SeaDek® marine-grade flooring, offering unmatched durability and comfort. Our custom flooring process involved:

  • Scanning the cabin for a perfect fit
  • Designing a layout that complements the functionality
  • Precision machining of the material
  • Prepping and professional installation

SeaDek® provides a soft, slip-resistant surface that is waterproof, easy to clean, and tough enough for all heavy-duty work.

Rhino Lined Fenders and Rear Bed, Painted Underbody, Fixed Air Suspension, Rewired Entire Stereo, Fixed Dashboard

Final Result: A True Next Level Creation

This 2006 Chevrolet C4500 is a fully customized powerhouse — combining military-inspired aesthetics, upgraded performance, modern comfort, and extreme durability.

At Next Level,  we not only upgrade vehicles; we redefine them.

Toyota Master Surf Van Custom Audio

Toyota Masterace Surf Van Custom Stereo

A friend of ours recently found this right-hand drive, diesel, 4WD, Toyota Master Ace Surf van somewhere on the northwest side of the country, and had it shipped down to Orlando. It had a poor stereo previously installed and came into Next Level to swap out the old speakers, put in a new touchscreen Pioneer radio, and we installed a new Alpine sub and amp combo box that we engineered to sound great in the center of the vehicle.

This authentic Japanese van has 3 rows of seating and has a mid-engine design that you basically sit on when sitting in the front seats. We had to make sure that the subwoofer wires would easily allow the engine hatch to flip up when motor work needed to be done.

Below are pictures of the stereo installed with Pioneer and Alpine USA. You can see that the door speakers are Alpine speakers but since they do not come with a protective grill for the specific size, we found a Kicker grill that fits the 2 door speakers. Under the middle bench, we installed an amp and sub combo box that is basically a plug and play option in an 8″ size and being in the middle of the van with that small of speakers, a more “full” sound.

Work Van Gets Extra Safety Lights

Ramlin-Orlando-Next-Level-Custom-Van-Safety-Lights

Having a work truck or van on the roads of Central Florida mean you need to be safe, not only driving, but also when on the side of the road too. This local work van asked us to install extra safety lights with an internal switch and different lighting flash patterns.

See the custom installation we did on this Ramlin work van.

FDOT may require your vehicle to obtain and have flashing yellow safety lights installed on your work car, truck or van. Please check with your insurance and state regulations about safety light requirements for commercial vehicles.

Below are the actively blinking safety lights in working order with different flashing patterns controlled by the switch (pictured right).

87 W. Michigan St. Orlando Florida 32806

We have been fans of Orlando City Soccer Club since their rise to the MLS, and over the years, we have continuously upgraded the Lion and Pride’s promo bus, the “Kickin Cruiser”. The current promo bus is full of Next Level installs and upgrades such as TV’s, Backup Camera, Lights and More!

This year, the team’s marketing department asked us if we could completely redesign the inside of the bus to accommodate fans for an immersive Virtual Reality experience where the fan gets to Virtually be in the team huddle inside the Lion’s locker room and follow them onto the field for practice.

The installation required the Next Level team to hustle and fabricate a storage room, two floor boxes, install new vinyl wood floors, Rigid Industries black lights(for purple City color), new recessed lighting and switches, and floor to ceiling wall graphics.

Hardwood Floor and 2 Low Benches.

Rigid Industries LED black lights and white recessed ceiling lights with dim switch.

Storage Room Access through Hidden Door. Wall Covered with Graphic Wrap.

 

After we finished a day early, the team couldn’t wait to show off the build to the Orlando City street team and marketing department. They came to pick up the bus wearing Lion merch and lots of purple. Two of us got to sit in the chair and put the Virtual Reality goggles on inside the bus and it felt like we were in the locker room with the soccer players. After looking around for about a minute and a half in 360degree world, you end up feeling like you follow the players out onto the field.

It’s very cool and hope you have a chance to experience this like we did.
