 When asked how he became involved in the scene, Gianni answered "My mom and my cousin Jason Klein along with all of my drooling over Craig Elders rides, brought me to what I now love." With being involved in the scene for 7 years now, his knowledge on what the judges love to see is evident. It took Gianni nearly a year and a half to build what you see today and was completed just in time for the 2001 SEMA. When asked why he built this ride Gianni answered, "To pick up chicks, it has yet to work but I still do my thang." Knowing that in order to roll pimp status, you had to have the low phat ride, Gianni did just that. Shortly after picking up his Yukon it was delivered to the crew at Pro Design of Santa Ana, CA. While in there hands many items would take a turn for the better. For starters, they would roll out a Body-drop-less Chassis. They would complete a custom-built rear sub frame to make sure the rockers touch the ground and to keep the stock floor with the excessive headroom. With the drop in place, air bags where set at all four corners for the ups and downs. When asked why they where so damn slow Gianni responded, "I'm not trying to break shit, so they are super slow." All suspension and components where custom built by Pro Design.

With the body now on the ground it was time to work the exterior to help Gianni earn his pimp status. Starting at the front, a Caddy Escalade front clip along with a custom built grill with a Caddy emblem by Pro Design would be installed. The front bumper would be skinned and smoothed out.
