- Hi. My name's Hunter.
This is my 2017 Chevy Silverado.
And this is Custom Offsets TV.
So let's go check it out.
(lively music)
(energetic music)
So, I'd gotten into trucks at a pretty young age.
Just by being around 'em with my family.
And then, I started racing motocross
and you can't really haul a bike pretty well
with a car, so when I was 16,
my dad gave me a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
and that's where my obsession started for all this mess.
And then, present day, now,
got a truck, I was searching for a truck, a salvage truck,
or a rec truck.
They're pretty hard to come by nowadays
cause everybody babies 'em pretty well.
No one drives 'em like real man.
I found this truck down South.
It was in an accident and it was from a rental company.
And I tried buying about six trucks
before I found this baby,
but after that, when I found it,
the second that company opened,
I had put my money on there
and had that baby shipped up to my house.
So she had a pretty good amount of damage.
She needed a hood, the whole front end was smashed in.
I'm not quite sure but I think it was a deer.
If it was a deer, it was a pretty damn big deer
cause she took out the whole front end.
Needed a hood, fender, bumper, grill,
both headlights, everything from radiator forward.
So, that was a pretty cool build I got to do.
We took everything apart,
ripped it down to nothing,
found out what we did need and what we didn't need,
what I could get away with, if I could get some
after-market stuff instead of buying the stock stuff.
We ended up trying to paint this
and we messed up the first time
cause it's such a hard color to replicate.
So then we had to take a few pass runs
to try and get this crazy metallic color.
And eventually we did get it,
so we ended up painting the hood,
the fender, both headlight trims,
and the lower bumper trim.
Then I kinda got wild with a lot of my accessories.
But, that's the best part of the truck,
is making it one of your own and having it
really replicate who you are as a person
and that's what I feel I think
I've done with my dream truck actually.
So let's get in closer to this thing.
First, I'd boughten these American Truxx rims.
Seeing that these just came out in 2018,
nobody had 'em, there was no images
on the Internet anywhere that I could find
of anybody running these.
So then, I obviously had to go
with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers,
because this is a daily driver
and I do want that aggressive look,
but also I do take it off road
it's not just a pavement princess.
And this is a 20 inch rim, 10 wide,
it has a -24 offset, no wheel spacers,
with a 35 by 12.5 inch Nitto Ridge Grappler.
Let's do a build test for this.
I'm pretty broke.
One of you guys got a hundos?
- I got you man.
Gotta do it right. - Thank you.
So, on the front we got these spokes.
It looks at about, I would say a good four inches up here
and in back behind the spoke,
I would say it's pretty close to six inches,
I would say five and a half right there.
I think I might keep this so I can
get some more accessories.
With the suspension, we had boughten
a Zone 6.5 inch complete lift kit.
We got the strut spacer in front.
I opted to keep the stock suspension in the front,
just because I liked how it rode at the beginning.
And it comes with everything.
It comes with your differential drop,
it comes with your CV axle spacers,
your sway bar drop, your new sway bar links,
everything, a new knuckle,
everything you need to get the job done right.
And as you can see, the CV axle shaft angle
are actually pretty neutral compared to other lift kits.
They do a very good job about this.
Easiest reason I could say for picking out Zone is,
I knew that they are a sister company of BDS
and BDS is just a very well known company,
they have their lifetime warranty
and the price point is right there.
I was able to get this lift kit for under $1500,
and in my opinion that's a pretty
damn good price for a complete lift kit
with everything you're gonna need
to get this thing up in the air.
If you get right in here, this little fender cap
that GM has on all their vehicles,
if you just take it and hit with a good sledge
right here in this area, bump it back just enough,
your tire will clear up for days
and you won't have any rubbing issues
going in or out of driveways at 100 miles an hour.
And in the front, I have zero issues.
We have after-market bumper,
so we just trimmed the fender liner to match the bumper
and you will have no issues jumping those dunes.
And coming to the back here,
obviously Chevy's got the square wheel wells,
but we're able to get away with
nothing in the rear, fitment is perfect,
we got clearance everywhere.
They do give you this mud flap
for in the front, you get about two inches of room
I would say there.
But you'll not have any issues.
So with these bigger lifts,
the four inch and the 6.5 inch lift,
if you can see from the back here,
the rear does stay the same with the track width.
But the front does get pushed out
I would say, an inch and 3/4
because with you coming down the fender outs
you got about 3/4 to one full lug
on the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
And in the front, you're coming in at about,
I would say, four inches, so about a lug and a half
you're looking at outside the fender well.
To fix this issue of trying to keep this
beautiful paint job alive,
I do have fender flares coming
and I am currently in the process of painting them.
And they will be coming on pretty soon.
And that will push out two inches
if you do get the most standard fender flares
are about two inches wide, you can get wider.
And that will push it out,
so then you only have about half of a lug.
You're looking at about two inches outside the fender well.
So as you can see, we do have a -24 millimeter offset,
but there is no wheel spacers behind there.
In the front, the knuckle does push it out.
In the rear, we also don't have any wheel spacers,
but if you do wanna get that perfect track width
that everybody's looking for,
you would wanna put a 1.75 inch wheel spacer
in the rear on both sides.
That will keep your track width perfect with the front
and it'll look a lot better going down the road.
So hopping into our accessories,
I had gotten the Magnum black potter coated steps.
I chose these steps because they're pretty bad (pauses)
looking steps.
And potter coating, they do last forever.
And they do match the Body Armor bumper on the front bumper.
I'd gotten the Body Armor bumper
because, frankly that stock bumper looks like crap
and they cost too much to replace.
The Body Armor bumper gives it
that huge aggressive look.
And then, with the Body Armor bumper,
I was able to put four cube lights,
two spotlights in the center of each pocket
and then a fog light on each outside pocket.
Also, from Black Label,
I did put the 20 inch RGB light bar on the front
because they do give you a perfect spot to put it there
so why the heck wouldn't you?
Also, we did go with the GM accessories grill.
It's painted to match and then,
I carbon fiber wrapped the bow tie.
We did go with after-market headlights.
Anzo headlights, they are the only after-market headlights
that you can get for a '17 Silverado being so new.
So with the interior, take a look up in here.
It is pretty standard, it is only a LT model
so you do get pretty nice stuff,
but you don't have the motorized seats.
We do have the Huk performance fishing seat covers
and also the floor mats.
I took apart the entire dash to put carbon fiber wrap
on everything, I am a chrome hater.
Also, I did install an Edge CTS 2 performance tuner.
So with our exhaust, I cut out the rear resonator,
cut out the front muffler and I just
pipe-clamped a three inch piece of pipe
and got a four inch axle dump, black tip.
Does have a mean growl when you
get on it trying to pass people going slow.
So let's get a good earful of this thing.
(revving)
So that's my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500, my dream truck.
