Many of you watching this video came from an article posted by Michael Ballaban, who used this video as a symbol to readers of what 'Rolling Coal' is on the website truckyear.jalopnik.com, in response to New Jersey's newly founded ban on the subject.

So I write this to say thanks for watching!

Modifying vehicles is a huge hobby of mine, among other things. The truck in this video has many upgrades in the performance and appearance categories and many are proud of the build. The road the video is being held on contains no traffic, no one is being cut off, no electric cars have a grille full of smoke, this is not the typical 'jackass driving diesel or jacked up truck' stereo type here so leave your rude comments elsewhere.

Here is a statement about diesel 'soot' as well for those of you still reading: The exhaust fumes from gasoline vehicles contribute more to the production of a specific type of air pollution -- secondary organic aerosols (SOA) -- than those from diesel vehicles, according to a new study by scientists from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) and other colleagues.

If this is a big concern for you, then I have some things to help ease that pain; Soot from a diesel exhaust in small instances is not as harmful to us as the factories and coal plants that have been all over the US for many years. The US shut down a majority of its “dirty” coal plants in efforts to save our environment, but now they are over in China, re-opened. This is such a mind blowing controversy, because we all share the same atmosphere. Moving one plant to another portion of the planet is not a cure to saving the environment. There is also ‘clean’ coal factories that were being built in Texas but stopped to due, well; who know's why.

Thanks for the time. God speed.
