- What's going on guys?
Biggs with Custom Offsets and I'm sorta new here.
So I was just like wondering what were some people's
first trucks that they were rolling around
in when they got their first vehicle, when they turned 16.
'Cause I know what mine was,
but I am really interested to see
what everyone else's looked like.
So I'm gonna casually bring
in some people here and they're gonna talk
about what they did and what their first trucks were.
Alright.
First up we have Junior, but before we get started
if you need anthems or any other wheel and tire package
or accessories, or literally anything to build a full truck
go on over to customoffsets.com
and pick all that up and ride in style just like Junior
did in his first truck.
Right?
- Do you even know my first truck?
- Yeah.
Probably the worst generation of F150s
you could possibly get.
- It is?
- But let's go for it.
Let's talk about it.
It's a 10th gen F-150.
I had a '97.
At the time I loved it
and I didn't really realize all
of the hate behind the 10th Gens
until I was like...
'Cause I had the truck for about three-ish years
and towards the end of that is kinda when
I realized why everyone hated them so much.
It was like that weird in between body style.
'Cause before that were the OBS's,
which just like looked good.
And then after that was like the more modern
like the 11 to 12th gens
are kind of the same truck
in my opinion other than the headlights.
But like just more modern normal trucks.
It was just like that weird, awkward
bubbly body style that didn't really fit anything.
- [Biggs] Yeah.
They definitely didn't perfect it yet.
- No.
- At all.
- They also like to spit spark plugs.
I had that issue as I was coming back from, I think it was
like a Dustin Lynch concert
in high school at like two in the morning.
Drivin' back from Milwaukee
and all of a sudden I just decided to spit a spark plug out.
That went great.
- Okay.
With that being said, what did you do to this?
- So it had a Rough Country.
It was like the three inch spindle lift in the front.
I didn't do anything in the rear.
So it did have a little bit of squat.
This was before squat was like even a thing honestly.
It was just the front lift kit.
And I was so cheap 'cause I was in high school
and like I just wanted to get the lift kit,
which was $300 for the spindles
and I didn't buy like the full U bolt
and block for the rear and everything like that.
I literally just bought the front lift and that was it.
So it did have a little bit of squat
but it was like an inch maybe across the whole thing.
So it didn't really (faintly speaking) that much.
- [Biggs] Is that it?
- [Junior] No I did a lot to that thing.
You want me to go over all of it?
- [Biggs] Whatever you...
- I'll go quick.
So I got Rockstar twos that went with it.
The reason I went with those
is because they had the customizable fins
that you could take off.
And I painted 'em tan
because it was a Lariat to match like the tan on the bottom.
And then with that I also did the 03 bumper conversion.
So it was a new grill,
new front bumper, new valence, that whole thing,
which there is a little bit of a difference.
It went from like a flat to more like a yeah...
It went from a four to a five, to be honest. (chuckles)
But so I did the 03 front end swap on it too.
I had like a demonized with custom headlights in there.
Had a headache rack with some KC lights
on it too and everything like that.
And then my favorite part was I had like
a 32-inch light bar mounted
on the headache rack pointing backwards
and people tailgating I could flip that sucker
on and blind 'em.
- (chuckles) That's dope.
- And a bunch of decals that I made because
in my high school graphics class we had a vinyl cutter.
I could cut all the decals I wanted.
So I had a Batman logo made that had a Ford logo
in the middle of it.
And I had custom Lariat logos made for the sides of the bed.
And then I also had like
a giant like predator skull American flag
on the back and then I had a no (beeps) fat chicks sticker.
Yeah.
- So literally everything a high schooler should do
to their first truck. - I did not.
I did not splatter paint the dash.
- [Biggs] Thank God.
- But the interior was like OEM, other than I had
a single din like aftermarket radio.
That was it.
Oh and then I had three subs in the back
two subs in the back too.
Two 12-inch Sony explodes.
- Employee number one in his first...
It wasn't even a beater.
You can't even call it.
I mean...
- It was pretty beat, but I did my best.
- Yeah.
I mean for what it was.
And that was probably dope at the time.
You were probably- - Yeah it was sick.
It was.
Oh it was loud as (duck quacks) too.
I forgot to talk about that.
- Oh.
- It was straight piped all the way back.
And at one point I just ran it right off the headers
because it was loud.
- It probably was not a good loud,
but it was loud. - No.
It was loud.
And then I straight piped it
and it was probably not that good.
And then I ended up doing the cop pulled me over
'cause it was too loud
so I had the cherry bombs
'cause then I at least had a muffler on it.
So it was just as loud,
but more crackly and worse. - Right.
Yeah.
There you go.
Next up we have Nick.
All right, Nick, what did you have for your first truck?
- I had a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with the five seven Hemi.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- How did she treat ya?
- Not very good.
Well, I didn't treat her very good.
That's why kind of.
- What'd you do to it?
- So first job I worked
at a place called A & K Truckland
and I saved up like every penny
for a set of 20 by 12 fuel hostages.
So then I took my shop teacher's used tires 'cause I
couldn't afford tires and stretched them on those 12 wides.
That was kind of what I did first.
Got tow mirrors
put 'em all the way out of course.
And then that was about it.
After a while I saved up money to get some 33
12 and a half amp tires.
And I thought it was a mud King.
I went mudding everywhere all the time.
A lot of issues because of mudding.
- [Biggs] What were the issues?
- Well in my time owning that truck I put...
Well I blew three engines, put two in.
The first one it's just mudding.
I went to the Brussels Mud Bog.
It's all clay.
Took my daily driver there of course went mudding
and I actually have a picture of my truck there
and drove back and blew my engine on the way back.
Had to get towed home.
So I picked up a scrapyard engine,
drivin' to a buddy's house.
And you know it's a couple
of months after I put it in oil pump went out.
So it seized the engine right up
and that engine was pretty toast after that.
So sat for a couple months,
not having a truck finally saved up,
put another engine in, another scrapyard engine,
and went mudding again.
A lot.
Went mudding a lot.
(man laughs)
And it blew again.
So I sold the truck not running.
No engine for a huge loss.
The first truck. - That's Nick's first truck
and yeah, I don't think he's going
to go muddy again anytime soon,
unless he starts hangin' out with his boy, Brad
a little too much and then he might
be doing some crazy shit, right?
- [Nick] It's possible.
- Yeah.
I don't think he learned his lessons folks (chuckles).
- As long as you don't mud your daily driver you're fine.
- Fair enough.
Okay.
Well next up we have Hunter.
We just got back from fifth grade recess.
Yeah.
Hunter, let's talk about your first truck.
What did you have?
What did you do to it?
Do you wish you still had it
or are you like, "Nah, dude.
"That thing was a piece of a somethin'"?
- Yeah it was a piece of gold.
So there's your answer.
I should've never got rid of that truck.
It was clean.
I had a 1996 Ford F-150.
It was an extended cab.
Eddie Bauer edition.
There was absolutely no rust on it.
I bought it with 86,000 miles
and I sold it at 101,000 miles.
- So you didn't have it for very long
really. - No, I got it
Freshman year of high school
and I sold it my senior year
and then I got a car, which terrible idea.
- [Biggs] Oh, that's a great idea.
Let's go from a nice minty truck to a car.
- It was for commuting to college.
- How'd college go for you?
- I dropped out.
- Oh, same it's okay. (laughs)
- Yeah.
What did I do to it?
I did exhaust, I put a straight pipe in it,
and then light bars for days.
- [Biggs] Is that it?
- [Hunter] That's all yeah.
- Just light bars and exhaust.
- Yeah, it was basically.
- I feel like that's all you should do
to that kind of truck honestly.
If you could have done anything to it,
what would you have done to it?
- I would have lifted it probably
about four inches or so.
- [Biggs] Yeah.
- [Hunter] Maybe put some 20 by 12s on it.
- [Biggs] Yeah.
- I just, I don't know.
I didn't have that kind
of money right back then to do it,
but it would've been nice
if it would have been a 250 and a 73.
I would have definitely kept it,
but it was just a half ton.
Had the 5-0 on it.
I know a 5-O is very reliable,
so I didn't want to go
with the inline six that they had back then.
I would rather have the 5-0
because it was using the Mustangs.
- [Biggs] Fair enough.
- [Hunter] So yeah.
- So would you buy another one?
- I don't know if I'd buy a F-150
but I'd definitely buy a three-quarter ton.
- [Biggs] I would as well.
- [Hunter] Yes.
- [Biggs] Hunter, Turner and I are kind
of the same person sometimes.
And it's scary.
- [Hunter] We definitely are.
- Usually we're pretty similar in our tastes, so yeah.
- We definitely are.
I mean you want a OBS 73 and so do I.
- 100%.
Yup.
All right.
Well there's Hunter's first truck.
It was beautiful.
And even I wish he would have kept it
and I didn't even know him because he was going
to a different elementary school at the time.
