- So last year we built the K three 50, went to SEMA.
We built CO2 on it's like fifth rendition of the truck.
We built juniors Bronco, and now we just recently finished
up bankers, 2020 Silverado.
And now I want in on the fun
I want to build my Silverado and do a build series
for you guys to watch and follow along as well.
So I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado, Crew Cab
super excited to finally be able to build this thing.
I remember three years ago when I started
that's all I wanted to do.
I wanted to build a truck with my friends and just
have something to be proud of and really bring to life.
So, not even a year ago I ended up picking up
the 2011 Silverado from Copart.
And by me picking up, I mean we picked it up
because I was part of Brandon Title.
We picked up the Silverado from Copart
and rebuilt the thing.
So we ended up having to do work on the frame,
fix the bumper and fix a bunch of different stuff
on the truck.
And then, Baker, I didn't interrupt your part one.
(beep)
So that was last November I believe somewhere around there.
We ended up finishing up the truck in December
and I ended up purchasing the truck from Brandon Title.
I drove it for the last seven months just as a daily driver.
And now I finally want to build this truck.
So I have a bunch of different plans
a bunch of different ideas that I really wanna do
to this truck and I can't wait to get started.
So working with Custom Offsets the first sponsor
or team that I got on board for this truck build
was ARKON OFF-ROAD so, what I wanna do
is go with the Arkon Caesars.
One of the newest wheels here on Arkon really like the spoke
design and you know, the thin spoke big lip
and I really wanna do like a 2414
but we'll see what's really available
when the time comes to build it.
Next up, Fury just dropped their country Hunter empty
to now, that's what I wanna go with for the tire
on this truck, just because I've always been a huge fan
of Fury and this new empty really gives us a chance
to not only test the here for custom offsets
and give you guys our review.
But also for me to run a big setup
like a 3713 and a half, I wanna go with a 3713 and a half
just because I want a little bit of a stretch
on the side, but not too much of a crazy stretch.
So with a 14 wide and a 13 and a half inch tire
a wide tire, I think that will give just a bit of stretch
but not too much stretch.
And a lot of guys here are running like a 35 13 and a half
and it's like insanely stretchy just
because there's not a lot of, height
on the tire mixed in with the width.
So I think a 3713 and a half would be perfect.
Next up is the lift kit.
So McGaughys is always like handsome,
my number one favorite brand lift kit.
So I want to do a 7-9" inch lift kit with McGaughys.
We had a customer come in here last year, I believe.
And he had a '14-18 Silverado and he got a 7-9"
and I absolutely loved the way it looked.
And he actually had his cranked up to nine,
but didn't do anything in the rear.
So I want to get the 7-9", crank it up
to nine in the front, but I also wanna do an, add a leaf
and make sure that the rear is sitting flush
with the front and just be at all the way around
everyone around here is going
with big setups, Bailey sitting on eight inches,
K three 50 sitting on eight inches,
CO2, like 6.5 inches.
And everyone's just going big.
So I wanna crank mine up to nine
and hang out with my friends.
Once we get the wheels in once we get the lift kit in
and really start piecing everything together
I would like to go with a cool color.
I think I have one in mind, but I'm not gonna tell you guys
until that time comes, but we'll see.
There's a lot (mumbling)I have like two or three colors
that I'm really thinking about right now,
that I really want to do just to make the suspension pop
from underneath the truck.
So when I picked up the truck from Brandon Dolan Copart,
it was a red Silverado.
I hate red.
Obviously there's a ton of really done red trucks out there
but like for me, I don't really enjoy the color red.
But at the same time, I got a really good deal.
Rebuilding a truck off Copart.
You can get into things pretty cheap
on stuff going on, buying a new truck.
So, I decided to take the good deal and deal with the red.
But with that, we ended up wrapping it white
which I actually really liked it when it was white.
We had it wrapped white and then it was on 20 by 10
anthems and 33 inch BFGs I believe.
And that was on Sox suspension,
which was way too much rubbing and crazy.
It looks super sick, but it was a pain to drive.
But now we're gonna be moving into the show set up
and we're probably be peeling off the white rap.
And I think we're gonna end up getting this thing wrapped.
Now I want to team up with Sticker Dude.
He's got a really good reputation around here.
He's done multiple vehicles for, some of the employees here
as well as some of my personal friends that I know.
So, he's got a good reputation.
I think I might help Sticker Dude.
See if we can come up with some sort of crazy wrap design
just to get rid of the red and come up with some sort of one
off a wrap designed to really set this thing
to the next level.
Also guys are gonna be getting a 16-piece Rock Light Kit.
Really love how the Rock Lights look at night.
And then if I end up painting my suspension
or powder coating my suspension, a different color
the Rock Lights are really gonna make that pop
also teamed up with Alpha-Racks.
Bailey you guys have seen his Silverado
in a couple of videos here.
I thought that they looked pretty clean
and I think I'm going to be running
some of those Alpha-Racks as well in the jet-black,
really like the clean look and also has like the sequential
turn signals and all that,
so I think we're gonna go with that.
A lot of stuff to do, a lot of parts to get in.
We leave for LTN shortly.
Obviously by the time you guys see this LTN
is probably done, but I'm still in a time crunch for LTN,
and it's really hard.
So we're gonna try to get all the parts in
try to get everything really dialed in
before we drive all the way out to Missouri
for lifted truck nationals.
So who knows, maybe we'll make it.
Maybe we won't make it.
All we can do is try.
