- What's going on guys, Biggs back again
for a much wanted part two of
reviewing employees' first rides.
So I'm gonna, again, gonna bring in some of our employees
and they're gonna talk about what they rode around
in when they got their license.
(funky upbeat music)
First up, we got Lawson, but before we get started,
if you need wheels, tires, suspension,
or any accessory, go to customoffsets.com
and pick yourself up some stuff
to make your truck more desirable,
I'd say. - Absolutely, absolutely.
- Okay, let's get started, what was your first truck?
And what did you do to it, do you wish you still had it?
- So, my first truck is honestly my current one
is the first one that I've owned,
but I used to roll around in my parents' '86 F150
back in the day, it was pretty cool.
It was like the silver, it kind of had
the headache rack with the sides on it.
It was lifted a little bit, but it was more like
a bigger tire, smaller wheel.
So it's like completely different
than what we're doing right now.
- [Biggs] Yup.
- But it was pretty cool, I remember just taking it
to the school and then also hitting some back trails
sometimes, just creaking through the woods
with some buddies in the truck and stuff like that.
That was pretty cool, obviously I had just
gotten my license, I had a old school, 90s Firebird.
- [Biggs] Oh.
- [Lawson] But I always wanted to drive the truck around.
It just was desirable and it wasn't fast or anything,
but it just looked really, really nice
and it was clean. - Yup.
- So I enjoyed that, but for my first very own truck
that I have bought would be my current one that I built up,
so, which has been one hell of a ride and--.
- [Biggs] Yeah.
- [Lawson] I'm already looking forward
to my next build, so it's pretty cool.
- [Biggs] Yeah, you've done quite
a bit to the one that you have now.
- [Lawson] Yup, yup, so I was able to enjoy it
for a little bit as what it was.
Once it was rebuilt, obviously it was wrecked.
And then Brandon and Tyler rebuilt it, but it was nice
to be able to enjoy the truck for one winter.
I actually got it right around this time last year.
- [Biggs] Oh, yeah, that's cool.
- [Lawson] So, I've only had the truck for like a year,
but to be able to enjoy it as a stock working truck
for the remaining of the winter,
and then obviously the summer we rebuilt it, got it wrapped,
lifted, custom paint, and everything, so quite a journey.
- [Biggs] Yeah, yeah, you took it stage by stage.
Kind of like what I'm trying to do
with my current truck right now.
- [Lawson] Yeah.
- Riding around stock height, seeing what I want
to go with and then build it into into something
that it is crazy. - Yeah.
- Like what you did. - Yeah.
It gives you chance to really appreciate the truck
for what it is before you take it
to the next level so. - Yeah, hell yeah.
Next up we have Dustin, he's been around the block
for a while, he's getting up there in age.
(chuckling)
So probably what he drove around
in was like Model A type level, maybe.
I don't know. - Model B, actually.
- Model B. - Yeah.
The one up after the Model A. - Dang.
So, you grew up a little bit and then you're like,
"Oh, I can get my first truck!"
Okay. - Yeah.
- What was you first truck, what did you do to it?
And, do you wish you still had that?
'Cause I know it was kind of a box.
(Biggs laughing)
- I can't believe you called my first truck a shit box.
- (laughing) It kind of was. - It was not!
- It wasn't? - It was not!
- All right, what about the dual whips?
- Listen, my first truck was a '92 GMC K1500,
it's a half ton, extended cab short box,
it was the silver and kind of light blue-ish,
almost like an atomic blue, two-toned
with the body trim on it, the front vendors
were actually not the same grade because they were silver
'cause they were replaced at one point.
Truck had 236,000 miles on it when I sold it.
305 and a 5-- - You sold that thing?
- Yeah. - Someone bought that?
- For like 2200 bucks. - Someone bought that?
- It was a great truck, American Outlaw
or American Racing Outlaw, two rep wheels
and a 15x9, 15x10, I think, a set of BFG K02s
and a 31 two and a half 15, diamond plate toolbox
with the gullwings in the back, dual antennas,
lights on lights on lights on lights on lights.
It was dope, listen, you have to understand
that when I had that truck, you were in diapers.
What year were you born? - How old--
2000. - Yeah.
So you would have been 11, you were in diapers.
- Yes.
- [Dustin] Biggs is a little bit of a slow learner.
- Yes.
- So anyway, no I had that truck just out of high school.
I really loved that truck, honestly.
It was great. - I can tell.
- [Dustin] I beat the (rooster crowing)
out of that truck, it took it like a champ.
- I feel like those trucks do take
that like a champ. - Yeah.
- I feel like that's every high schooler's
slash just graduated first truck.
They get it and they're like, "Let's go muddin'."
- [Dustin] I never mudded that truck.
I was always respectful to it in that way,
but I did a lot of donuts in hayfields.
I drove it for like a year and a half when I worked
on the farm and used it for all sorts of farm stuff.
Just a good truck overall, I really liked it.
It had Firestone 23 degree mud tires
on it. - Oh.
- Which you probably don't even know
what those are. - Nope.
- Back in the day Firestone made tire
and it was literally just a tread pattern
with big siping that ran through at 23 degree angles.
So it was just like, it almost looked like a golf cart tire,
but more aggressive, made a ton of noise on the highway.
I loved it, so to combat that, I put a 12 inch single sub
behind the driver's seat, yeah.
- I don't even know what to say right now.
- What, why, I had blue LEDs up in the footwell.
- [Biggs] Yeah.
- [Dustin] So it had some nice ambient lighting, you know?
- [Biggs] As I want to hate it, I don't.
- [Dustin] You can't.
- [Biggs] I don't.
- [Dustin] You cannot hate that truck because.
- [Biggs] That's the thing.
- [Dustin] At the time.
- [Biggs] It was cool.
- [Dustin] Exactly, everything from the whips,
it had a Flowmaster Super 40 series with two chrome tips,
so it made decent noise without being stupid loud.
It ran good, it drove okay, it wasn't fantastic for
200,000 miles, but what do you expect, it was a good truck.
- Wait, did you say you lifted it?
- No, no lift, stock height? - Did you crank the keys?
- Uh uh.
- [Biggs] At least you didn't do that.
- [Dustin] Uh uh, it was a good truck.
I don't know that I would want it anymore to be honest.
- Yeah, compared to what you have now?
- Well, in current state, it (sighs) no, definitely not,
but it'd be a fun project, tear it all apart, rebuild it.
- What would you do to it if you could tear it all apart
and rebuild it, exactly how you want it?
- Repaint it, same color, fix the rust,
probably like a six inch lift, 15x10s and 35s or some,
big side, a lot of sidewall on the tires.
- [Biggs] Right.
- Something like a super swamper, very period-correct
for that truck, it would need some extra HPs
because, oh I forgot to tell you that, it was the best part!
I had a cold air intake. - Oh, God.
- Made by a guy out of his garage that I bought on--
- [Both] Ebay.
(laughing)
- And it was, you have to understand that
that's a TBI truck, right, so the air filter sat right
on the top, so it was literally like a housing with a pipe
off to the side in a cone filter and that was it.
But yeah, that's what I would do with it,
just rebuild it, make it look nice,
something super period-correct.
Maybe give it the Waldoch decals on the side.
I think Waldoch trucks are really cool.
- [Biggs] Dope.
- [Dustin] Yeah, is that it, can I go home now?
- Yup, you can, you can go home.
And, that's what we have for you
with Dustin. - What?
- We're going to bring in. - Wait.
- Bring in, who are we going to bring in next?
- Which is weren't so (rooster crowing) awkward, bud.
- Bye Dustin.
- All right, Biggs, we're going to turn
this one around a little bit! - Ow.
- And, now we're going with you.
Tell us about your first truck.
- Okay, my first truck was a 2005 F150 stepside.
- [Dustin] Wait, wait, you're first truck was an '05?
- [Biggs] Yes.
- [Dustin] I'm old.
- What did I do to that, oh, I actually did quite a bit
to it. - Did you?
- My grandma, she is the bomb. - Okay.
- She likes the cool shit, she actually put new wheels
and tires on it before I got it.
So, they're aftermarket wheels and tires.
- Were they from customoffsets.com?
- I think Sears before they went out of business, yeah.
(children groaning)
- Yeah, I'm going to be honest with you.
- All right that's fair (laughing).
- Yeah, she's old school, yeah so she got--.
- [Dustin] Sears and Roebuck catalog, skrt skrt skrt.
- Yeah, yeah, so I did wheels and tire,
or she did wheels and tires, I can't recall what
the wheel was, if I can find it,
I'll be sure to put it somewhere.
She also gave it to me with dual exhaust.
So that thing was loud. - Dude.
Granny's rowdy! - Yeah, Gran.
She actually got a new truck and she was like,
"This thing's too quiet, I can't hear the pipes."
So, she wants to go put new pipes on her truck.
So, yeah. - What does Granny drive now?
- Granny drives a 28, 17 or 18 F150, I think.
- [Dustin] Dude, get outta here, I want Granny on the show.
That'll be way better than you.
- [Biggs] Yeah, Granny's got it going on.
- All right, tell us about the '06.
- '05, dude. - '05, whatever.
- Get it right. - Whatever, dude.
It's the same thing difference.
- Okay so, it had wheels and tires on it.
It had exhaust, it was pretty loud.
It sounded good actually, I did your typical
Double DIN radio, so I put a new radio in it.
It was a single cab, but it had the suicide half doors.
So, like there was--
- So, it was an extended cab?
- No because there was no seats
in the back. - Not even jumper seats?
Like the fold down ones?
- [Biggs] No, it was literally just the back doors
swung open and it was literally just a little cargo space.
So, I stuffed a--
- [Dustin] Weird.
- So, I stuffed a 12 inch sub in there.
(Dustin chuckling)
Seats pushed as far as I could where I could drive
and I stuffed that thing back there.
I did a backup camera that I hooked into the radio.
Of course, lights upon lights upon lights
'cause I still do that 'cause I'm still 12, so I did--
- [Dustin] 11 and a half.
- [Biggs] 11 and a half, so I did light bar in the bumper
and then I did two pods, ditch lights
or whatever you wanna call it.
- [Dustin] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- And honestly, seat covers and then your typical
cheap upgrades that you can freshen it up, and honestly--
- Advanced Auto Parts. - Yeah.
That's about all I did to it. - I want to roast you for it.
But I can't. - Yeah.
- Because, like. - Yeah, dude.
- I've been there, that was me, although, a stepside.
- Yeah, not the move. - Not the move for me.
- But what I ended up doing was,
I slid on ice, spun in circles, and she's no longer with us.
- [Dustin] You wrecked Granny's truck?
- Yeah, I did, all right, that's what we have for you
on part two of reviewing employees' first trucks.
It seems that you guys like this.
So, let us know in the comments below
if you want us to do a part three
and then we'll probably dig up some more people's gems
that they rolled around in back in the day.
- Yeah, that's true - Yeah.
- Let us know who won this one.
Who has the best first truck, and as always make sure you
like, share, and subscribe, peace.
