- What's going on guys?
Dustin here with Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV, on the YouTube.
We're back with Josh
from Trail Built. - Hello.
Good morning.
Afternoon... And we are here
bright and early, this morning for
an episode of This or That.
So, Keaton's got some questions behind the camera,
he's gonna ask us and we're gonna answer.
Before we jump into that, we are doing
a really cool giveaway.
So, it's a full build, it's Hostile Wheels, up to 22 inches
with forged wheels being included, which is pretty cool.
Nitto is gonna hook you up with tires up to 22 inches,
and then Super Lift is taking care
of the suspension on this one.
So, to get entered to win, all you gotta do
is head on over to customoffsets.com/giveaway.
So, head on over there, check that out.
You ready to get into it? - Uh-huh, let's go.
- Let's do it.
- All right, sounds good.
- [Keaton] Clean first gen Cummins or clean OBS?
- Keaton, why you do this to me?
My heart...
- Isn't the old school, first gen Cummins a OBS?
- Yeah, but they're talking OBS Ford.
So, it's first... - Oh, okay.
- So, it's, like, W 250 Ram with a Cummins
or like a '96 7.3 PowerStroke. - Yeah, yeah.
- I don't know if I can answer this.
You're talking two of the most iconic engines of
diesel pick-up history - Yeah.
- And the 12 valve has been the 12 valve forever.
And it's just, it's simple, it's reliable.
But the 7.3 PowerStroke is, like, it's the PowerStroke.
Like, it set the tone for all modern diesel pick-ups.
- I had a bad experience with a '95 dually,
Ford 350, rear wheel drive, with a 7.3 in it,
had a turbo--
- Oh, it did have the turbo? - It was, yep.
- I was gonna say that's IDI, isn't it?
- Yep and a-- - That's not the
true PowerStroke.
- That thing fought me, tooth and nail,
and I ended up just selling it.
So, I'm gonna go - Sure.
- with the first gen Cummins.
- Yeah, I think I'm also gonna go first gen Cummins.
I mean, my grandad had a W250,
it was a gas, it had the 360.
But, that was the first pick-up I ever remember riding in,
regular cab, long box, farm truck, you know?
So, I love those body styles,
the 12 valve is stupid dependable.
It takes, I think - Yeah.
- Three wires to run them, right?
Power, ground, and a key switch.
- They'll run off of just about anything.
- Yeah. (laughs)
I mean, they're
as bullet proof - Pour some waste oil
- As they get. - In there...
- Oh, yeah.
- Turn the old P pump screw up a little bit and let her eat.
- Yeah, definitely first gen Cummins.
- Yep. - That would be pretty cool.
- That's the way I'm goin'. - Plus,
you can get 'em to sound, pretty much, like a semi-truck.
- Oh yeah.
- So, can't beat that, so...
- Hit the jake brake (imitates jake brake)
(imitates jake brake)
- [Keaton] Stock half-ton, with off road toys
or single fully half-ton, with no off road toys?
- Huh, well, that's...
- Oh, I was gonna say stock.
But, I don't know that I want a stock truck.
- Right.
I would-- - Wait,
I found the loop.
- Oh, there's a loop?
- I found the loophole.
- Ah, okay.
- I'm gonna let you answer first.
- All right.
So...
Now I'm curious to see what
your loophole is - Nope, nope.
You have to answer first.
(laughs)
- All right, so, - I got the sauce.
- The fully built truck is just a fully built,
half-ton truck.
Is there a lift?
Is it dropped? Is it like-- - Whatever you want.
However you wanna build your half ton, fully built truck.
- All right then, I'll take the fully built truck.
- And just one truck?
- Just the one truck. - No, no
off road toys-- - Yeah, no, one's enough.
I don't have time for more than one.
(laughs)
- My loophole, are you ready for this?
- Yes.
- I'm takin' a stock Raptor with the toys.
'Cause a stock Raptor performs phenomenally.
They're great trucks, they're awesome to begin with.
And then I would build a couple of rigs on the side.
- Okay, yeah, that's interesting.
- That's my loophole.
- It's a good one.
- [Keaton] 1986 K5 Blazer or brand new Blazer?
- So the new Blazer is super cool because it gets all
the updates and I really like what Chevy's
got goin' on with them.
I think they look pretty good.
I think it's cool to see that line revived again, ya know?
And see that come back to life.
- I guess I would have to see the new Blazer
because the ones that I've seen, look like an Equinox.
(laughs)
So, I'm-- - They're very round.
They are very round.
- I'm definitely gonna go, since I drive a '73 Scout,
and it has those square body lines to it,
I'm definitely gonna go with the '86 K5, definitely.
- I'm gonna go the same way.
As much as I like the new Blazers
and I think they look really good,
there is something about the short wheelbase
and hand crank rear window, on the old K5.
- Well the K5's are only two door, front windows.
But, still-- - I'm talkin' the
tailgate window.
- Oh, the tailgate window. - Yeah, the
tailgate window, cranks - If it works.
- Well and then what happens is the handle breaks.
So, you pull it apart and you put a power drill on it
and just, (imitates drill rolling down window)
- Or the mechanism inside gets all rusted--
- Nah, you don't worry about that.
- Then you try cranking it and then the handle breaks.
I had an '88 K5, so... - You don't worry about that.
- Yeah, I ended up just talking the top off of it and...
- Uh-huh.
Yeah, they're neat, though.
They're super fun to wheel,
they have such a short wheelbase.
We used to push spring cars with a K5
and it worked super well 'cause you can put a suicide
knob on it and it has such a short wheel base,
that you could dip in between cars.
- Nice, yeah.
Had an old K5 with 33 inch tires on it
and that was a good runner.
We could take it off-roading, and then still hit the
roads, and trails on the weekend, and stuff.
It was pretty cool. - Correct.
Cool.
- Yeah. Now I gotta go check out the new Blazer
because I can't even believe that's a comparison.
(laughs)
- It's an interesting question.
- [Keaton] Bonus question.
Perfectly fried chicken or
perfectly medium rare 8 oz. steak?
- Oh, steak,
all day, everyday. - Yes.
- Fried chicken is good - Yes, definitely.
- right? - Yeah.
- Colonel Sanders has got it going on.
- Yeah, steak... - However,
- Yeah. - There's nothing
better than a good steak. - No.
Yeah, steak for sure.
- And then, like, a double baked potato, on the side
or twice baked potato on the side.
- All right, see ya later. I'm goin' home for steak.
- Yeah, that's another episode of This and That guys.
Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you Josh

yep, its been a pleasure.
