- What's going on, guys? Biggs with Custom Offsets.
Today we have another reviewing employees first rides.
I think you guys really liked these.
So stay tuned, subscribe.
So you can see more of this content
and drop a comment down below of your first vehicle
that you rolled around in.
And I would love to look through those,
cause this series is really enjoyable to me.
So I'm going to bring in a few people and we're going to go
over what they rolled around in back in the day.
First off on the list, we have Packer Banker.
When was the last time you'd been in a video?
- I just did one.
- There we go.
- If you wanna to see me, you go to The Garage Channel.
- The Garage Channel.
- That's where all the important videos are.
- Yes, sir. I do love The Garage Channel.
I'm a big fan of it.
I used to be the Head of The Garage Channel.
If you want to call it that.
- You did. You filmed a lot for the Garage Channel.
And now look at you. You've got a mullet
and now your personality.
- Mm, Aspiring personality.
- Aspiring. There you go. I like that.
- Yeah. Speaking of that if you guys want to
look at the Garage Channel,
that's a good place to go to find all this cool
crazy stuff that you can do to your truck.
So, go check it out.
A Customs Offsets Garage.
- Yeah.
- All right.
What was your first truck and what'd you do to it?
- So, my first truck was a black, 1991 K 1500
regular cab short box.
And the only thing I got time to do to it
was flipped the air cleaner lid upside down,
because there was a 305 TBI.
- [Biggs] That's it?
- [Banker] That's it.
I literally, I had it for three months.
I, I got it from my grandpa.
- Okay. - Like my Uncle bought it new.
It had gone through our entire family.
- [Biggs] Oh.
- [Banker] Since brand new.
And then I got it.
And the day that I went to go pick up my wheels,
tires and lift kit from a place here in town,
I did a burnout and blew the rear-end up.
- So you're like and deuces.
We're gonna to get some different.
- Yeah. So it was basically, I could spend like $1,200
which I did not have.
- Yeah. And it's probably no worth it.
- On a new rear end.
The truck was super clean.
- Oh, really.
- Like there wasn't a rust on it.
It had a brand new engine in it.
It had like 240,000,
but it had a brand new engine at 200,000.
- [Biggs] Oh, really.
- [Banker] So, like a 240,000 mile truck
I wish I never would have got rid of it.
- All right. So you answered my question.
Do you wish you still had it?
You already said that you...
- [Banker] Should've kept it.
That was a beautiful truck.
- What would you do to it now, if you still had it?
(Banker sighs)
- Like, you know, maybe even clean slate.
So right before you were about to put wheels and tires,
like completely clean slate.
Still the same truck, clean and everything.
What would you do to it?
- I mean, I'd probably just go the same route
that I was gonna go.
- So, you were pretty happy?
- Yeah, like... - What were you gonna do?
- I think it was going four inch Rough Country.
So I'd probably go six this time around, now that I know.
And throw some, uh, what was I getting for
Windsor American racing?
Like the dual spoke, like the three
it's got the three spokes with their dual.
- Oh, okay. - But it's what you could get.
- Right.
- Anyway, like sixteens, I think? Fifth..sixteens.
So it was balling. Sixteens were big.
And some Super Swampers. TSL Thornbirds
- Hell yeah, dude. Swamp.
- Yeah.
I would just do exactly what I was gonna to do with it.
It's a whole, whole thing.
- How much would that wheel and tire set,
like what was the cost of that?
Like back in that time, I guess?
- [Banker] Oh man.
(sigh)
People are going to be really offended.
I think it was like $1,500 bucks for like 15x12's and 33's
- Prices really haven't changed much.
- Those tires alone right now are like two grand.
- Yeah. I mean...
- Inflation. Things got a little bit more expensive
in the last 15 years.
- They did, but like, it's still expensive.
Like 1,500 bucks back then, like that's a lot of money.
- I could have built that whole truck
with my stimulus back then.
Think about that.
Now 1,400 likes nothing, 1,500.
- Right. But back then, when you went to do that
you were probably like, that's a decent amount of money.
- Well yeah. I mean, I was making good money
at $7.50 an hour doing construction.
- Damn.
(laughter)
- Yeah, dude.
- That's insane.
All right. Well...
- So, but yeah, I didn't want to spend $1,200 on a rear end.
So I, instead bought a new truck for 12 grand.
- What'd you buy? Did you buy the...
- 2001 Silverado?
- Oh okay. Then you...
- That was my gray trucks.
- I don't remember that.
So...
- That's for another time.
- Yeah. That's way before my time.
We could probably do a whole video
on just your trucks, probably.
- Probably
- Yeah
- Had a few.
- Yeah. All right.
We're going to bring someone else in
and we're going to talk about what they had
for their first truck and yours was cool.
- Thanks. - I wish you still had it too.
That would be dope.
Next up we have Mike.
Mike, what do you do here?
- So, I actually work for the gallery
over at Fitment Industries.
- Eh boo, car guy.
- Yeah. But yeah, I'm, I'm the gallery guy over there.
So anything gallery related, that's me.
- Hell yeah.
All right. What was your first truck vehicle, I guess?
I guess so, I mean, it actually was my first vehicle.
It was a 1999 Chevy Suburban, black one with a LT trim.
So it had like leather interior, that kind of stuff.
It was a mom and dad hand-me-down.
- [Biggs] There you go, dude. That's dope.
- So, my Grandma actually gave me my first truck.
Everyone knows that.
And it was pretty, it was pretty dope.
So yeah. Shout out to Grams.
But, uh, yeah. Did you do anything to it?
- Um, I think the only thing I actually did to it,
was stick a Walmart 4x4 sticker
on the back barn door, because it didn't have any 4x4 decals
and it was a four shift 4x4.
And I'm like, you know what?
These needs one of them decals.
People got to know and I was only 17.
So, I just thought.
- Fair enough
- So I just thought, that was the best mod for
for my bank account at the time.
(Mike laughs)
- That definitely added horse power for sure.
- Oh yeah. For sure.
- So do you wish you still had this vehicle?
- I totally wish I still had this vehicle.
It kind of wasn't my decision to get rid of it
because it was, it was my truck, but I didn't technically
own it, cause I was still under age at the time.
And when I was 17, the transmission blew out on me
and going up a hill and I had the vehicle
offline of the truck all full of friends.
You know, we were going to do stuff on a Saturday night
and going up a hill, I just heard a big grind.
And then the truck wouldn't go past 10 miles an hour.
So I knew something just grenaded.
- Yeah, that'll do it.
- And my dad was like, hey, you shouldn't keep this thing.
And I, he took it and they got something else
for the family to use for me and my brother.
But yeah, I was, yeah.
I, I really wish I would have been able to keep it.
I really wanted to fix it up here, but it is what it is.
- So if you, if you still had it today
and you could do stuff to it, what would you do?
Like what would be built, I guess?
- For me?
I would just make it like the best daily
with like some good off-road capabilities.
I'd probably do like, probably like a three inch lift on it.
Just a modest wheel and tire setup
for like everyday driving.
But then also if I wanna get a little off road
on it, you know, do that.
Nice sound system in it, just
cause you have so much room...
- Oh my God, those things are huge.
- You know, three rows of seats
and you still got tons of room behind the third row.
So, just a nice sound system
and then fix everything that was wrong with it,
because as nice as it looks in the pictures,
it was, it was kinda broken.
The rear barn door seal was bad.
So, the floor actually started molding.
- Oh yeah, that's true.
- The door handles you had to open them
from the outside, because the inside cast ones had broken.
So that was broken.
Probably just fix it and make it a really nice clean daily.
Probably just kept it clean,
fixed a little bit of roughs ahead.
It was a very clean truck, lower mileage
only like 150,000 miles on it, which is for...
- [Biggs] For that year, it's not bad.
- [Mike] For a big suburban, yeah, it's not bad. So...
- [Biggs] All right.
That's a, that's Mike's first truck and first vehicle
it sounds pretty cool.
I kind of wish that we can bring these
back and build them like now.
All of them, because all of them had so much
like they're so capable of being really cool.
- Oh yeah. For sure.
- If you still had them, but yeah.
We're going to pull in our last person
and let's see what they had.
Next up on our list, we have Luke.
Luke, from Arkon.
What was your first truck?
- My first truck was and believe it or not, my only truck.
It's kind of weird when you work in this kind of industry
everybody expects you to drive a BroDozer.
And, my first and only truck and whoever edits
this is going to have fun with the audio.
- It's gonna be me.
- A Ford Ranger in 1994. A standard cab,
six and a half foot box.
And I had a Grandpa Topper on it. Great.
- I didn't know you had a topper on it.
- You've never seen that thing?
- No, I've never seen it.
I'm excited to edit this now.
- Insane.
- So did you, I don't think you did anything to it.
Did you do anything to it?
- No. Um, I think the only reason that I ended up
buying a truck in the first place was to literally use it?
I used to throw kayaks in the back of it.
Tow boats with it.
Literally, we would go bomb down to go fishing or basically
do whatever, you know, haul concrete.
Basically, it was a work truck.
And I treated it as one. So I just...
- A Ford Ranger, dude.
Those things can do anything.
- Yeah. I basically beat the crap out of it.
And ran it until the wheels almost literally fell off.
So...
- Dude, that's dope.
So if you still have it or whatever,
this, this scenario is, what would you do to it?
If you could like, or would you go no. Nah, not my thing.
- If I wanted to do something with the ranger,
I probably wouldn't do much of anything,
just because it was kind of a work oriented vehicle for me.
But if I needed to do something to it
if you held me accountable.
I don't know, probably just like a four inch lift
and I'd probably put some 17x9's on it.
Just kind of make it a little bit beefier of a set up.
- [Biggs] Right.
- [Luke] It had, it had a three liter
and it was a two wheel drive truck.
So at the end of the day
you really can't do anything too crazy with it.
But yeah, if I was going to do something
you know, realistic, I'd probably do that.
And then I know a lot of guys
will actually take the 3-0 Ranger
and actually make it into more of like a pre-runner format.
- Oh yeah. That would be sick.
- I've seen a couple of those floating
around on the internet.
So if I, if money wasn't an object
and I could do anything with it, then yeah.
I would tear it down and do probably, probably tube frame
and just ended up building it to the hill
and just go and again, beat the crap out of it.
(laughter)
- Dude. That's sick.
That's what Rangers are made for
apparently like that's, that's what I'm seeing.
So yeah, that's dope.
- It's a Ford (beep) Ranger.
- There we go.
- I was waiting for it.
I was waiting for it.
Hell yeah. All right, that's what we have for you
on today's episode of reviewing employees, first rides.
If you guys need wheels, tires, suspension, go
on over to custom offsets and pick yourself up some stuff.
And really that's all I have for us.
Let's go
- Peace.
