Hoonigan Builds a Donk - Season 1
The Donk is DONE! Hitting The Dyno, Street Session, and a Fiery Burnout at Tire Slayer Studios
It’s FINALLY time to put some power down in our donk! We brought it over for some big block tuning magic from our friends (aka Suppy’s brother Chan) at Redline Performance. This thing sounds NU...
Our Donk Gets its New One-Off Custom-Milled Wheels! Plus, Big Block CHOP
