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.

This Polaris Ranger got fully decked out in SeaDek®.
For many off-road enthusiasts, the Polaris Ranger is the epitome of rugged adventure and versatility. Its exceptional performance and durability make it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, farmers, and hunters alike. But what if we told you that you could take your Polaris Ranger to the next level of both style and functionality? That’s exactly what we did with our red Polaris Ranger when we decided to upgrade it with SeaDek® marine flooring. Here, we’ll share our experience and the transformation that took this vehicle to new heights.
We added custom cut and fit SeaDek® into this vehicle to increase comfort, traction, safety, productivity, efficiency, and aesthetic.
We also went with custom Ranger logo cutouts.
Our Upgrade Journey:
- Choosing the Right Design: The first step in upgrading our Polaris Ranger was selecting the perfect SeaDek® design to complement our red vehicle. SeaDek® offers a wide variety of colors and patterns, so we had plenty of options to choose from. We decided on a sleek black and red combination that not only matched our Polaris Ranger but also added a touch of elegance to its rugged exterior.
- Measuring and Customization: SeaDek® flooring is custom-made to fit the specific dimensions of your vehicle or boat. We carefully measured the floor area of our Polaris Ranger and provided the measurements to the SeaDek® team. This ensured a perfect fit and a seamless installation process.
- Installation: The installation of SeaDek® marine flooring is relatively straightforward, especially if you’re a DIY enthusiast. However, for those who prefer professional installation, SeaDek® certified installers are available to ensure a flawless finish. We opted for professional installation to guarantee a precise fit and a clean, polished look.
Benefits of Upgrading with SeaDek®:
- Improved Traction: The most noticeable difference after the SeaDek® upgrade was the improved traction. Whether we were navigating steep hills, rocky terrains, or muddy trails, the SeaDek® flooring provided exceptional grip, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring a safer ride.
- Comfortable Ride: SeaDek® is not only about functionality; it also adds a layer of comfort to your vehicle. The cushioning effect of the material helped reduce the impact on our bodies during off-road adventures, making our rides more enjoyable and less fatiguing.
- Enhanced Durability: SeaDek® is designed to withstand the harshest marine environments, so it’s no surprise that it’s equally tough on land. Our Polaris Ranger’s floor has been exposed to the elements, including rain, mud, and UV rays, without showing any signs of wear and tear. It’s a testament to SeaDek®’s exceptional durability.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its functional advantages, SeaDek® added a touch of elegance to our Polaris Ranger. It transformed the interior from a utilitarian look to a stylish and eye-catching vehicle, perfect for showcasing at off-road events and gatherings.

SeaDek®
Setting Sail with SeaDek®: A New Level of Comfort
Navigating the waters can be both exhilarating and soothing. To make the experience even more enjoyable, we embarked on the journey of upgrading a boat’s flooring with SeaDek®, a premium marine flooring solution. SeaDek® offers a soft and comfortable surface that transforms the boat’s interior into a space of luxurious relaxation. Whether it’s lounging in the sun or moving around the boat, SeaDek® adds an extra layer of comfort that enhances the entire experience.
Innovative Utility: The SeaDek® Ruler for Measuring Fish
Beyond comfort, a Maverick boat became a haven for anglers with an innovative addition – the SeaDek® ruler. This practical solution not only enhances the fishing experience but also adds a touch of convenience. The SeaDek® ruler is more than just a measurement tool; it’s a connection to the sport of fishing itself. As anglers reel in their catch, they can easily measure their success right on the boat, creating memories that are marked by both the thrill of the catch and the convenience of technology.
Custom Built Center Console
We built this center console fully custom and embedded technology into it. Made out of fiberglass, we were able to custom fit a new chartplotter from Garmin and add the engine gauges, plus a new light bar. The end result looks like the center console came from the factory.
Chartplotter and Switches Upgrade
New features:
Garmin 8600 Series 12 In Touchscreen IPS Multi-Function Display Chartplotter/ Sonar Combo, BlueChart G3 and LakeVu. It was also given an Airmar B75m thru hull transducer. Newly installed BocaTech Switchboard that was custom made from acrylic on our CNC machine then backlit with LED lighting.
The Custom Designed Center Console and Bocatech Switchboard
The fully custom-built center console pod is fully integrated with acrylic cutouts that showcased the chartplotter and radio screens. These cutouts weren’t just functional; they were a testament to design precision. The navigation screen, a gateway to charting new horizons, a connection to the world beyond the waters, were elegantly embedded within the console pod. This arrangement ensured that vital information was readily available without disrupting the boat’s aesthetic.
The Bocatech switch board found its home within the center console, the boat’s interior look took on a new dimension. The center console became a command center, where every function was at the boater’s fingertips. The beauty of the switches aligned perfectly with the boat’s aesthetics, creating an environment that was both inspiring and intuitive.
Lighting and Sound System
Sound system from JL Audio. LED lighting and Lightbar by Razor Lumitec.
Nestled within the center console, this lightbar brought illumination that was as functional as it was stunning. With razor-sharp precision, the lightbar lit up the boat’s surroundings, extending the journey into the night. The waters beneath seemed to come alive with a magical glow, marking a passage into the unknown with a touch of luminous brilliance.
Bimini Top Cover
Crafting Comfort: The Importance of a Bimini Top Cover
A bimini top cover isn’t just a practical accessory; it’s a gateway to comfortable leisure. It provides a haven from the sun’s intensity while allowing boaters to savor the surrounding beauty without worry. In the heart of the open waters, the bimini top cover becomes a retreat, a place where conversations flow, meals are shared, and moments are cherished.
Custom Upholstery and Fabrication
We gave this Maverick custom made upholstery for maximum comfort out on the water.
We powder coated the frame of the seat and the tower around the motor.
Power Pole and Trolling Motor
This customer asked for a new trolling motor and a shallow anchor system both from Power Pole. The Move PV trolling motor was chosen. Power Pole scoured every inch of standard trolling motors for reoccurring failure points unacceptable to top anglers. This allowed us to reinforce MOVE with backup systems on top of backup systems, on top of even more backup systems, in just the right places, to maximize resiliency. All because we know seasoned anglers demand the most out of their trolling motor and live by them every day.
The ultimate game-changer in Total Boat Control, MOVE PV has been crafted with almost a decade’s worth of hard work and dedication from Power-Pole. This next-gen brushless trolling motor is designed to deliver unparalleled power, impressive durability and extreme efficiency – all while operating with near absolute silence.
