- If you've ever been to a truck show,
there's a good probability, you notice certain clicks
that roll in together kinda for the most part stay together.
I'm Fuller from Custom Offsets
and before we're even 10 seconds
into this video, you're probably wondering
if I stole this idea from Fitment Industries.
And yeah, you're sorta right.
But ya see, here's the thing,
they made a video about the very specific vehicles
that you find at show but if I was to do that,
I'd pretty much be like, Chevy Silverado,
Dodge Ram, Ford F-150 and then just repeat myself
with the three quarter tons
because the big three kinda rule the truck market
and therefore they rule the show scene too.
Plus, Fitment Industries was kind of like our stepchild
that we helped grow up a bit into what they are now
but, like, you know, they're 18 now
and they do what they want and they're never home,
they're not answering my calls and the location's turned off
on Snapchat and I never see them
'cause they're in ghost mode.
I don't see 'em at Christmas time
and they just don't get me anything
but I give them stuff and it's just.
Kids, I tell ya.
Kicking things off, then we are covering the five types
of vehicles that you find at a truck show.
Now, lemme get this out there.
First things first, we don't care
which category you fall into.
If you've wheels, tires, suspension, cool,
that's good enough for us.
And if you don't, you just go to our website
and we can help ya out with that stuff.
It's kind of what we do.
So, first on the list is the stance crowd.
Obviously had to pick these guys.
Well, we put this first on the list because
when Custom Offsets rolls up to a meet or a show,
we are the stance crowd.
I mean, we even started a truck club called Team Stance.
These are the guys that are so done with 12 wides.
They've moved onto 14 wides, 16 wides, massive wheels,
massive lips, TS544 bros, the American Force gang,
the ARKON homies, you know, sure,
they can't turn to get into the parking space
but that's just part of the game.
Usually to go along with that look,
you'll see these folks running
a pretty large suspension lift, like,
I'm gonna say probably a minimum of six inches.
Some on coilovers, some custom powder coated.
These are the guys that live for the show scene.
You'll see mud tires
that have never seen the mud themselves.
And you might see some stretched street tires
but the one thing in common on all trucks
is that their wheels will be well far enough
out of the fenders to anger the State Patrol.
Then of course you have the Jeep guys
that venture out from their natural habitat
to see what exactly is going on at the mall parking lot.
Now, most of the Jeep crew can be found
on the opposite side of the lot,
away from the show trucks and the stancey boys
and they'll literally have their rigs parked
on top of one another.
Jeeps are not trucks.
Jeeps are not SUVs.
Jeeps are Jeeps and you just can't change that.
I'd be willing to bet that if you do spot a gathering
of Jeepers at your local event,
you'll find at least a few of them
with some 17 inch Methods,
a high lift jack, and a rooftop tent.
Does that mean this stuff gets used?
Maybe.
Is it just for looks?
Maybe.
But who are we to judge?
I mean, all the super wide wheels are for,
you know, looks too
but for some reason it seems like the Jeep guys
and the truck guys just don't always get along
and that's why we started a new company
for Jeeps, by the way, Trail Built.
Number three is my Carolina fam.
The squatted trucks, OEM reps,
and straight pipe V8s just bangin' off the revlen meter.
You see, the thing is, I actually lived
in the Carolinas.
It was super, super nice.
I'd totally go back but I work here so I can't.
But, yeah, anyway.
Then there's Jared.
Now, he's been a Wisconsin kid all his life
but then the Internet came out
and just brought all these cultures closer
and now he's got a six inch lift
in the front of his Bronco and a four inch block in the rear
which is typical for your squatted crowd.
In fact, there's even a number of people
that don't have any lift in the rear
and just the lift kit in the front.
Which, by the way, if you're tryin' to do that,
if you're tryin' to buy a lift on customoffsets.com,
and you don't see the button
that says, like, buy front only.
That's because it doesn't actually exist
and the manufacturers will still just sell
and ship you the whole kit
and it's really not any cheaper to just buy half.
Pro tip.
I feel like nine times outta 10,
you're gonna find a younger guy drivin' one
of these squatted, like, '99, '06
you know, GM trucks.
And I blame Instagram and TikTok for creating this fad.
I mean, have you guys seen the, lemme hear you yee thing
that's goin' around right now?
So, one guy in one truck's like, "Yo, lemme hear you yee."
And the other guy's like "All right."
And he (beeps) stomps on it and (imitating engine revving).
He's like, "Oh, I can't hear you."
So he does it again.
It just keeps goin' back and forth.
And then he's like, "I can't hear you yee.
"Show me your yee."
And then they just do a whole lot of yee
and not a lotta haw.
But, deep down, somewhere in my heart,
I do actually kinda like a little bit of squat
if it's done right.
I mean, it's like anything, right?
Like my mom always used to say,
everything is good in moderation.
Switching gears again, we jump to the performance guys
and I'm talkin' about the lowered truck performance guys,
because, yes, you can have a lifted truck
that also performs well when you equip it right.
But it's just not the same
as a boosted F-150 single cab rippin' fat burnouts
or a 454-SS rumbling around
or the reverse level Dermax on 12 wides
and Nitto 420s, you know, cranked up to 11.
Just blowin' smoke all over.
And now that I say that,
there's actually probably some folks rolling around
in stock looking trucks that make nasty amounts
of power, too.
So don't automatically shun the guy
that's got stock wheels when he shows up.
So, I've actually got a buddy that's running twins
on an LS3 and I finally convinced him to buy wheels
but he was running stockers for years.
The entire thing looked stock,
like, stock paint, no stickers, none of that,
and it had, like, 800 horsepower.
It was absolutely crazy.
And this video wouldn't be complete without paying respect
to our elders.
So, the classic C10 fully restored gem.
You know, it's driven by the old guy that take it out,
you know, two or three times a year
but he's owned the truck for, like, 40 years
and then he took it from nothing to a work of art.
The cool thing here is that as I spend
more and more time getting to know people
at different shows, we're going to CMR,
wherever I am, I'm finding younger people really interested
in the classics too which it never used to be that way.
Now, they might take it a different route
and put it on air with some tucked wheels
and modernize the interior a bit
but how can you not love a classic pick up.
And as a special bonus round,
I'll throw in that there's typically the one guy
who shows up and ruins the fun for everyone
but doesn't really a specific type of build
because he's just that guy.
And we've gotta say, don't be that guy.
Wheels, tires, suspension, you know the drill.
Customoffsets.com, peace.
