- What's going on guys
we are at another episode of Lifted Live.
If you're new to the channel or new to the series,
a this is where I Banker from Custom Offsets
sit down with someone,
tonight It's going to be Jarrod
from Arc on Off-road
- [Jarrod] lucky me.
- [Banker] And we drink beverages and discuss truck things
in the truck world
- [Jarrod] That are covered by Crewzers
you can't tell if they're lattes.
- [Banker] Exactly.
So if you miss the live
or if you want to see your questions answered,
something happens, these videos do get edited
and it will post it on our new upcoming garage channel,
so it'll be Custom Offsets Garage,
you're gonna wanna go subscribe to that
to get more of the technical content
that you guys see here all the time.
So our topic
is going to be
why the hell haven't you cut your hair in seven years?
- [Jarrod] Why is that's a good topic?
- [Banker] Because everybody wants to know.
(beep)
No. Okay.
So the real, the real subject that we're going to actually,
there's an actual subject
because your part of our Arc On,
and if you guys don't know any of these shows we got
it's me and Jarrod at 99% of these shows
that you'll see out there in the trucks.
But this year has been a little bit different.
- [Jarrod] What shows?
- [Banker] Yeah, exactly.
So what shows?
So obviously, without getting into the politics
and everything that happened in Wisconsin today,
because we're just gonna get angry.
Where do you think we're headed here for truck shows?
What do you think the industry is going to be like
with the lack of shows?
Like, what are you?
- [Jarrod] So the lack of shows,
I feel like now more than ever
social media is like your best bet
at like working with companies, right?
If you're looking at like getting into the master program
or sponsorship or even working with companies
and showing up product you're promoting
your brand, your build, your age,
social media is where it's at.
You need to go out and get photos taken.
You need to you go and like go to cool locations,
get stuff done.
If you have other buddies in the area
meet up with them too and like do little things
because that's literally like all you can do.
That's my thought on it.
Like you can't go to shows to promote
so you need to do it yourself.
- [Banker] Right.
I mean, we're going to our first show so far this year,
this weekend.
- [Jarrod] And it is it a big show or?
- [Banker] It's a smaller show,
but it's put on by some other guys that we know
in the, in the industry that attended SEMA.
So it's gonna have some nicer stuff at it,
but know every national show just keeps getting kicked
Daytona.
- [Jarrod] I think as of right now all summer
Lifted Truck Nationals has been the only show on the radar
other than Daytona getting moved
which unfortunately the week before LTN now
- [Banker] labor day weekend,
which I think everybody already had plans.
And who knows at this point if that's even happening
You know, it's no secret I'm trying to build
another SEMA truck this this year
and as I was talking to some other people in the industry
today actually,
we're hearing more and more that companies
are just pulling out of SEMA.
They're not even attending.
- [Jarrod] Well, cause the the rumor on the street right now
is that SEMA is all gonna be virtual
that they're not gonna have people there.
- [Banker] So there's no benefit to building a truck.
- [Jarrod] Its all going to be video,
and right.
Cause at the end of the day
SEMA is meant for people who make products,
to show off those products to other people
who may be interested in selling them
or buying into them or stuff like that.
It's a big business event.
And then it just happens to be cool display trucks
showing off these products as well.
And when the display products, display trucks don't matter
because if anything
the booth is what's gonna show off the product.
You've got people in booths, in virtual videos and tours?
I don't know
- [Banker] Right. - [Jarrod] I didn't get it.
- [Banker] And I think that's why every company pulling out.
So do you think that this will mean
that the couple of shows that will happen,
so I assume, well, we know it.
- [Jarrod] Are we saying LTN is pretty much like for sure?
- [Banker] Yeah, pretty, LTN's basically for sure.
I would assume that come next winter, next spring.
When the shows in Texas kickoff, you know,
Lone Star Throwdown,
maybe Scrapin The Coast of Mississippi,
I think I would imagine those shows are gonna happen
because those are
States where they don't really adhere to a lot
of these strict district guidelines.
- [Jarrod] I would hope that those show
are gonna be banging and insane
because you have so much time right now to build a truck.
- [Banker] Right.
- [Jarrod] Like let's bring up the Bronco again. Right?
Like I basically have accepted
that I'm not going to be making it
to Lift the Truck nationals this year,
which gives me almost a whole entire year
to build it to whatever standard I want to
to have it ready for next year.
And it's not just one show.
It's not like you have a whole summer
that it's like, man, that's 15 shows
that you're cutting on.
There's only like one or two
that are scheduled for this year.
So if you need to cut your losses
and actually take the time to build it and do it right.
And like make it everything you want it to be.
This is the time to do it.
And like stimulus trucks coming in,
it's a little extra cash you could throw at it,
sure it sucks but at the same time its
it gives you time to do more.
- [Banker] To actually build something cool.
There's always silver lining in everything.
- [Jarrod] I mean, it still sucks at the end of the day.
You can't, I mean, we haven't been to single show.
Daytona, we're looking forward to for what?
five, six months?
We've got a sick Airbnb Airbnb booked and everything
and we're all ready to go.
And then it's like, yeah how about no, we're like what?
We almost made it to our silver lining anyway
it was just to go.
- [Banker] And then of course it stormed the entire weekend
so it was a good thing we didn't.
So what do you think that means for 21?
I mean, I assume I, I can't see this lasting
past November before it resumes.
- [Jarrod] No.
- [Banker] But
do you think that shows are going to be different
going forward?
Do you think that people are still going to be hesitant?
- [Jarrod] I don't think they will.
I mean, obviously it's hard to say
you never know what next year can bring
and everything like that.
But you'd think by then everything would be figured out
and people are just able to like go and enjoy
and everything it's like having forever just ready for it.
Like, especially in Wisconsin during the winters,
like everyone just gets ready for the summer
to really go and do things.
And then like when are canceled,
you can't just drive across the country every two weekends
to go to all of these shows.
It's like, it sucks.
But I think it's going to be built up
to the point where next year people are just gonna be like,
screw it I'm making it happen.
And as long as the show isn't canceled,
people will be driving from all over to go to these
because they missed a whole year's worth of hanging out
with their homeys that they only see once or twice a year.
- [Banker] Yeah, absolutely.
And I'm just, I'm just hoping that most of the companies
can hang through it it.
You know, we've already seen like especially Forge
kind of go under at the beginning of the shutdown
and everything.
- [Jarrod] Yep.
There's Actuary too.
There's big companies that are like going down
and figuring it out, it will be tough.
- [Banker] Yeah.
It'll be interesting to see who will holds through.
Cause I mean,
shows are kind of the whole reason people buy this stuff.
- [Jarrod] And on that note
that's why a lot of people write on other companies
write on the show
is to be able to market to other people,
they rely on the shows
for like people that are running their products
to show them to other people and show them off.
So like shows are big
and that there are a lot of commitment
cause you're driving a long way a lot of the times
to get to especially if you're in Wisconsin
where there's nothing around us,
we have to drive up elsewhere.
It's one of those things where people make it work
cause they're fun
and you'd take a whole half week to make it fun
and make it an event.
And I can't see it not happening next year
at least I hope.
I'm a very hopeful person, so I'm hoping that next year's
a year full of shows, full of meets,
full of just spontaneous pod clubs.
- [Banker] Because we'll be able to again, right.
We've got quite a few questions in here,
so we'll
- [Jarrod] I forgot we do that too.
- [Banker] Yeah.
So we'll get to answer questions too.
So I'm just gonna pop in here and see if there's
- [Jarrod] And its just random people?
- [Banker] Yes, these are just everybody watching us,
watching us live on YouTube, random questions.
Would we ever go to a truck show in Mississippi?
Absolutely.
- [Jarrod] Isn't the Scrapin The Coast from Mississippi?
- [Banker] Scrapin The Coast is in Mississippi
while we are in Scrapin The Coast
there was a reason we couldn't go
- [Jarrod] I thought there was something happened
for specifically this year,
that's what was happening this weekend.
That's one that we've heard a lot about.
And this one I think is
isn't it more targeted towards the lower truck demographics,
but at the same time lifted trucks do show up.
And that's the thing
is a lot of these bigger shows we are starting
or trying to go to,
like this would have been our second year at Daytona.
Daytona has been going on for, I think four years now.
And it's been really pushing to go to more of those shows
because they are a blast.
It's great to see everybody.
It's great to show off our trucks.
I mean, Daytona last year was our unveiling of the K350.
Like it didn't have the raptor or anything,
but it was finally done.
It was finally like showable
and that was super cool, super cool event.
And like, if there's big shows like that,
if it's worth the time to go down to
and spend two, three days in Mississippi,
we're, we're planning on being there.
That's our goal with Customer Offsets
and Arc On at the end of the day.
- [Banker] Kevin wants to add his truck to the gallery,
but he thinks I won't like it
because it's a first gen Silverado.
- [Jarrod] A first gen Silverado.
- [Banker] So I'm thinking he means like a '99 to '02
which I literally had
I'm gonna like it.
- [Jarrod] Banker's kind of a GM guy if you didn't know.
Specifically Silverado.
- [Banker] You didn't know. I have to put my hands back.
He wants to know I'll be like pineapples.
- [Jarrod] There's a guy asking if I like pineapples?
- [Banker] Yeah.
- [Jarrod] I like pineapple i it's like raw,
like if it's normal, but I don't like pineapple on my pizza.
- [Banker] What would be your pick for a first truck?
I know it's a loaded question.
- [Jarrod] Is this my pick for a first truck
with all the money in the world?
Or my first pick for my first truck
with like if I had a reasonable high school budget?
- [Banker] I mean, probably don't pick your 1995,
- [Jarrod] 97
- [Banker] f150 two wheel drive but
- [Jarrod] that thing was perfect.
500, 400 bucks.
If we're actually answering this question,
I feel like anywhere from a 99 to like an 06 Silverado.
- [Banker] You had one of those your serious
- [Jarrod] Yeah.
- [Banker] Okay.
- [Jarrod] Well like GM, like 1500
because like the 53 they'll go for forever
and they're decently cheap now
they're cheaper than when I got mine.
Like there's a lot of mods for them.
There's a lot out there.
Where you're having a lot of affirm questions.
So longest term for affirm,
I believe right now is 12 months.
People are asking about payments and stuff like that too.
If you go to our site, there is a page.
I think it's customoffsets.com/affirm.
There's a little banner at the top you can click on,
there's a whole writeup on affirm.
You can see all the details.
Affirm also has FAQ page that you can go into
and read all about it.
Cause there's obviously a lot that goes into it.
It's all based on credit score
and this, matters as to what's offered.
You can check all of that out
and it'll answer a lot of your questions
because a lot of it is very technical
and very like based on you.
But the best part of it is
it's all a soft like a credit check.
It doesn't actually take like a hit on your credit score
so you can go and apply and see what you qualify for.
And it'll tell you your terms.
They'll tell you like what your percentages
they'll tell you how long you have to pay it off.
So pretty straightforward if you just go and check it out,
it's not going to hurt your credit at all
cause its soft check like I said.
I think that's going to wrap it up.
Jarrod has got T-ball to go play,
drink sippy cups with his friends.
So reminder this video will go up in an edited version
on our new garage channel,
go out and make sure you subscribe to that.
Ryan did they even created the garage channel yet.
- [Ryan] Yeah.
- [Banker] So you can go out now and subscribe
to that channel
to make sure you get the notifications for the videos
and ask some more questions.
I don't even know if I have a guest star for next week.
It might be Dustin
It might be Brad.
It's probably not going to be Jarrod again
because he's got to go play T-ball.
So we'll see what's up
and we'll start a suspension customoffsets.com
we'll catch you later guys.
Peace.
