Anwar's Cybertruck at EV Fest Is Built for Everything

From far away I thought the wrap was just matte. Then I walked up and touched it. It’s actually textured. Like, physically textured. That’s when I knew Anwar’s Cybertruck was going to be a whole thing.

I caught up with him at EV Fest 2026, and this build goes way deeper than a wrap. Here’s what’s on it.

The Wrap and the First Impression

The textured finish throws you off at a distance. You expect to feel a flat matte surface and instead it has actual grip to it. It’s one of those details that photos don’t do justice to. You have to be standing next to it.

The rest of the truck carries that same energy. Every section has something going on, and most of it is functional, not just visual.

Cybertruck Lighting Setup: Two Separate Circuits

The front bumper is Unplugged Performance, and the lights are split into two separate circuits. The yellow aux lights run off an external 12V/100Ah battery mounted in the frunk area. The white lights pull from the truck’s own power feed. Anwar controls everything via a switch inside the cab. No app, no integration, just a direct wired switch.

It’s a clean solution. The battery handles the lights that run independently; the truck’s power handles the rest. He also has a light bar running across the top, wired into the same setup.

Method Wheels and Michelin LTX

The wheels are Method Race Wheels in 20-inch, running Michelin Defenders LTX. He’s got an 11mm offset on them, so they protrude out past the fender. More aggressive stance without going full widebody. I’ve been eyeing the bronze colorway for my own setup and this confirmed it works.

Has the combo affected range? His answer was basically, “Yeah, with all the carbon steel parts I’ve added, everything has affected my range at this point, so…” At some point the mods just become part of the package.

The Cybertruck Rear Build: Spare Tire, Propane, Chase Lights

This is where it gets serious.

Unplugged Performance rear bumper with a full spare tire mount, a large Michelin bolted on the back. Next to it, a propane tank. Chase lights run along both sides. Red recovery boards on the roof rack. And inside the vault? A propane fire pit.

Anwar mentioned he keeps more gear inside the cab. The truck is configured for overland-style trips. Cyber Odyssey level stuff. I told him he needed to go. He hadn’t been yet.

One thing I didn’t realize about spare tire placement: mounting it on the rear instead of the roof actually helps efficiency slightly. Less drag than having it up top. Small gain, but when you’re already carrying all this carbon steel, you take what you can get.

FSD Still Works

Worth knowing if you’re thinking about going deep on mods: FSD still functions with the spare tire on the back. The one exception is backing into a Supercharger. You’ll have to do that yourself, same as if you had a hitch with a bike rack on your Model Y. Driving in any direction that doesn’t require reversing? Works fine.

Good to know before committing to the rear tire mount setup. For a different kind of Cybertruck power build, Jerry’s SEMA setup is worth a look too. Unplugged Performance makes the bumpers and most of the carbon steel parts on this truck if you want to go deep on sourcing.

EV Fest always brings out the builds, but this one stood out. Follow Anwar on Instagram to keep up with his Cybertruck adventures. And if you’re thinking about picking up a Tesla of your own, his build shows how far you can take the platform.
