There is no such thing as too big, too much, too expensive when your name is Shaquille O'Neal. Actually, too big, too much, too expensive might be the criteria for choosing his vehicles. Shaq attended a car show and drove there in his customized armored truck, which checks all those boxes.
Shaquille O'Neal attended the annual car show in Henry County, Georgia, held at the Salem Avenue Baptist Church. But he got more attention than any car and show during the event. He arrived there in his armored truck. It is, in fact, a Ram 1500 TRX disguised in a vehicle looking ready for the apocalypse.
Fortunately for the other participants, who are chasing the big prize of $5,000 in cash, Shaquille O'Neal is not competing with his truck.
The model was customized by Traffic Jams Motorsports. The Atlanta-based firm serves as a dealership, but also as a car customization shop. And vehicles like the one that Shaq is driving are their specialty.
With an estimated worth of $500 million in 2024, the Los Angeles Lakers legend can afford just about any car out there. And he already owns every car out there. However, at 7-foot-1-inch and 325 pounds, Shaq needs a ride that can contain his entire personality.

O'Neal's customized Ram is now called the Apocalypse TRX. Every single panel of the original vehicle has been replaced with armored ones and painted in Kevlar. There is no way in a million years you could guess what this vehicle was unless you knew that it came into the world as a Ram. The model rides on massive aftermarket wheels with chubby tires.
There is no information on the output enhancement, but we do know that Traffic Jam Motorsports could not stay away from the engine bay. So it surely got some extra oomph, all thanks to a Mechman alternator.
Traffic Jams Motorsports posted a video to show how the Big Guy made an entrance at the event and how he drove off.
Every move of the Big Guy at the car show was carefully watched by the officers of the Henry County Sheriff's Office. They also cleared the way for him when he wanted to leave the venue.
Shaquille O'Neal, definitely a car guy
Shall likes his cars big, aggressive, and powerful. Pretty much like he was on the basketball court. And they are yet so different from one another. For instance, his garage hosts a Lamborghini Gallardo and a gold-plated GMC Sierra Denali. He drives the latter whenever he wants to have all eyes on him.
A Cadillac Escalade and a Hummer H2 are also part of his extravagant collection, keeping the supersized Rolls-Royce Phantoxm company.
And then, there are his Dodges, customized from bumper to bumper. He owns a Challenger Hellcat with red underglow and a Charger Hellcat Police Special.
A gigantic customized Ford F-650 pickup truck is also on his list.
