(upbeat electronic music)
- What's going on, guys?
Biggs with Custom Offsets,
today we have another episode of Employees' Rides.
Today, we got a pretty good lineup.
To start it out, we have Jordan from Anthem Off-Road.
He's kind of the big dude at Anthem,
and he's gonna run over the Power Wagon
that they just built. And this thing, is pretty epic.
- Absolutely, let's get into it.
(upbeat music)
- All right Jordan, take us through
what you guys did to this dope Power Wagon.
- All right, sweet.
So, when we picked it up, 2020 Power Wagon,
pretty much completely bone stock, obviously,
first thing we did, got it wrapped.
It came in a gloss black.
We threw this satin, basically, top coat on top of it.
Basically, just completely set the look of it apart, really.
Threw some extra vinyl decals on there
with all the sponsors, everyone we worked with.
And then we went into actually building it.
So, number one thing, obviously, we threw on there
wheel and tire package.
Went with 20-by-10 bronze Rogues from Anthem, of course.
Wrapped them in Yokohama Geolandar 37x12.50's.
That came out very well in my opinion.
Threw some Bushwhacker Fender Flares above them,
just to try to, you know, prevent a little bit of this.
You can see how well that's going for us.
Yeah, not super well.
Went with Western Automotive HDX sidesteps.
Let's see here, front and back.
- [Biggs] You done a lot, you done a lot of stuff.
- Yeah, we did quite a bit.
Front and back, went with Road Armor
front and rear bumpers on it.
Obviously, the Power Wagon came
with that worn winch in it already.
So, found a way to mount that winch,
went with Morimoto headlights,
Black Label Lighting pocket lights inside of the bumper.
And then up top went with the KC HiLiTES M-Rack,
so we could get, you know, some extra light on this thing
for getting it off road and everything,
and we've been unbelievably happy with that rack.
I mean, it came out so clean and obviously-
- Thing's insanely bright.
- Yeah, just changed the whole lookup of this whole thing.
Like I said, front and rear, we have Road Armor.
Road Armor is also on the bed rack.
So, just got this installed maybe six days ago,
Banker threw on the Road Armor bed rack.
So, getting ready to fill that up with accessories.
If you have accessories,
drop them below, who we should work with.
- Right.
- Really looking forward to seeing what comes of that.
Traction boards, hijacks, anybody anybody's worked with,
tag them below.
We'd gladly like to try to figure out
a way to load this up with some good accessories
as well, obviously. - Yeah, I think that'll pull
this whole truck together a lot.
- Yeah.
- That's pretty dope. But, once you start throwing some,
you know, shovels or gas cans or whatever it might be.
- Yeah.
- It definitely looks fricking sick.
- Yeah. Under the hood as well, too.
Then we went with Banks Performance for the intake tune.
Went with MBRP for the exhaust,
one of the Cat Back exhaust style on it.
Yeah, let's see. Who else am I missing?
Icon suspension then as well, obviously.
So, in cruise back up front here,
went with a 3 1/2 inch kit.
So we took out the stock 2 1/2 that comes
with the Wagon, threw in a 3 1/2 inch Icon.
Just, again, for a little more performance,
a little more clearance,
but mainly the performance aspect of it just wanted to be
able to, you know, kind of send it a little bit-
- Right, yeah.
- And have something that can, that can take that on.
- Yeah. You guys haven't had this for very long,
so I'm really looking forward to some of the adventures
you guys are going to go on
with this because it can pretty much
get through anything, I'd assume.
These tires are fricking beefy,
just the whole entire suspension and everything is...
I want to see this thing get jumped a couple of times,
maybe, or send it off a cliff and hopefully-
- [Jordan] Deal.
- Yeah. Whatever Anthem does.
Because that (beep) so cool.
I like to just hop in my truck,
cruise at about 40 miles an hour down the highway
and we're good to go,
but they like to have a little more fun than I do, so-
- Yeah. - I'm looking forward to that.
- Yeah. The build came out clean, really.
It went, sourcing some stuff in was a little bit tricky,
but as far as putting it on
and getting this thing built out really,
pretty flawless and cruised through it pretty effortlessly.
- Heck yeah.
So do you guys have any future plans for this truck?
Other than-
- Trying to-
- I know that you mentioned kind of the rack stuff.
- Yeah. Trying to get that rack filled out is definitely
gonna be a number one mission.
We're going to get a 5th wheel, a spare combo in.
Either throwing that up top, or we have a
mount in the back, so-
- [Biggs] Oh, okay.
- Getting a 5th wheel combo mounted up in
the back of it. Yeah.
And then, really from there, just kind of seeing
where it takes us year by year,
we're looking forward to kind of trying some new packages
on it and everything.
Swapping out wheels, tires, and really
being able to see what truly withstands a beating.
I mean, like I said so far,
the Yokohama Geolandars have been super good to us.
- [Biggs] Yup.
- We went to Missouri and Michigan.
I mean, we've gotten back-to-back
16 hour round-trips on them.
- [Biggs] Yup.
- Quiet, nice smooth.
I mean really, they've held up really well.
So now, next step: jumping it.
We'll see how Geolandars do with jumping.
- I think you'll get up to speed just fine with these boys.
Let's just see, let's hope they don't go pop.
- Yeah. Yeah, they do well for us
But really, that's it.
Filling this bad boy up with accessories
so that we can really get after it
and you know, go live out of this thing.
- Yeah. Go bury it and dig it out or something cool.
- Yeah. You're right.
- All right.
Thank you for running us through this Power Wagon, Jordan,
we're gonna head on over to the next truck.
See what they got going on.
All right. Next up, we got Jacob.
Jacob, what do you do here?
- I am a vendor relations specialist.
- Can you tell us what that means?
Because I don't know what that is.
- (laughs) Basically, I talk to our vendors,
I'm the main guy that communicates with half of them.
And that's really about it. Talk marketing.
Get them to spend some marketing dollars.
- You say, "Hey, we want to promote your product.
We'll help you promote your product."
- Yeah.
- Like that?
- That's about it.
- All right.
We are going to go over Jacob's 4Runner.
Here we are. We're going to go through it.
(upbeat music)
- All right. Take us through this beast of a machine.
I actually like this a lot.
- Well, thank you.
Not a whole lot done to it.
Basically we have rough country two inch risers.
We went with the Falcon Off-Road T2's
with a negative 12 offset.
They're 17-by-9's.
And then we got the new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's.
Get that rugged edge on it.
Super quiet on the highway, which is nice.
These guys are 295/70R17's.
So, I don't know, I love them. (laughs)
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, you got this dope graphic here
that you put on the other day, right? I think.
- [Jacob] Yeah.
- [Biggs] I think it really adds
a lot of character to this thing.
- Subtle and sweet. I guess.
I always dig the old school Toyota racing,
so I was gonna put it down the door and then I kind of
pushed it back to make it a little more subtle
and threw on some old Toyota block lettering.
So, kind of a nice little touch, I suppose.
- Yeah, this thing's dope.
So, do you have any future plans for it, or do you have some
more stuff in the works?
Or are you gonna just leave it, how she sits?
- The typical over-lining stuff.
Probably do front bumper.
We did a, I believe it's a stage two cut,
so a little more clearance for the tires, less rubbing.
I'd probably do a front bumper
and then roof rack and-
- [Biggs] Oh, okay.
- Then hit some trails.
- Big trail.
You're going to go with the Anthem fam
and go bury this thing.
- Yeah. - You're going to bury it?
- Depends if I'm invited.
- You're gonna get a snorkel kit for it, maybe?
- I kind of want to.
- That'd be really dope.
What else can we do to this thing?
Are we gonna tint to windows really dark black
where you can't see out of them?
- Everything but the front window.
I know that's a fad here right now-
- [Biggs] Yeah. - and I don't know about that.
- I did 30% on it. It looks cool.
I don't advise it, but I'm gonna do it again,
because it's cool.
What else can we do this thing?
I say just lift it.
- Just lift it?
- Yeah. Because, you know, I like lifted trucks.
Maybe just make a ginormous.
- (hums) I like it, but....
- One of the coolest things about 4Runners
that I love is that back window rolls down.
I think that's the coolest thing ever. I don't know why.
I know a few other trucks, mostly just Toyotas, I think.
I know that Tacoma or the Tundra does it.
But that back window that rolls down, super cool.
So, this could be a tough one
because I know that you really like this thing,
but if you could trade this or sell this thing off and get
something different, what would you get?
Or would you get something different?
Or is this thing near and dear to your heart?
And you just couldn't get rid of it.
- I just don't know what else I would get. Maybe...
Because I was looking at Sequoias, but I mean, why?
When I looked at this thing,
the only thing I was worried about was room
and they're super spacious inside.
- Yeah, these things are-
- So.
- They're just cool-looking, too.
I like most of the generations.
I feel like they've progressively gotten better,
even though the first ones were cool-looking too.
I don't know, this thing's pretty dope.
You want to sell it? I'll buy it.
- I don't know.
- Buy daily? This is an expensive daily, but it'd be dope.
I'd have to probably sell my truck and maybe my apartment.
All right. So that kind of wraps up Jake's 4Runner.
This is pretty dope.
I think the future build points are going to be pretty sick.
Can't wait to see that.
But the next one you guys are gonna have to wait for.
You guys are gonna be surprised.
It's probably the nicest truck
sitting on this parking lot, hands down.
A lot of money, a lot of effort, blood,
maybe some sweat and not many tears,
because it's kind of a (beep) truck.
But anyway, stay tuned.
This next truck will be dope. Come on.
All right, next up, we have - oh, wait.
We don't have anyone else. I guess I have to go.
Hey, check out my 2014 F-150.
(upbeat music)
- All right guys,
you guys have seen this truck quite a few times now.
This is my 2014 F-150 EcoBoost.
We're sitting on a six inch rough country lift
with the lift strut replacement.
And then, I did unfortunately sack a leveling kit on top.
I totally regret doing that, but you know, here we are.
I paired that up with some old 35 AMP M/T's,
which I do have a set of tires ready to go on
and I'm gonna be swapping these out very soon.
And I've wrapped those around the ARKON Mandela's
and they're 24x14 in the satin black.
So in the front, we'll work front to back, uh, I did...
I said, "uh", again.
I did, uh, fall....
I said, "uh" again. I did "uh."
(beep)
- So in the front I have some Amazon special fog lights
and then I did a mesh-style grill.
I believe it's a Spec-D Tuning.
I get asked a lot on IG where I got my grill.
I believe that's where it's from.
It's really a hand-me-down from the shop.
So yeah, we have that.
Did little antenna, a little stubby antenna.
I got tow mirrors ready to go on.
Just have them put them on because if you can't tell,
I don't get in that big of a hurry until I need my truck
for Daytona and then it doesn't even make it.
Anyway, besides the point.
In the back, I have the V2 shocks,
a four inch MBRP exhaust, Cat-Back I believe,
all the way back.
It has a muffler that I'm about to delete, I think.
I have a third brake light,
just the blacked out one from Amazon.
Most of the things I get are budget-friendly because
I'm cheap and don't like to spend money.
Anyway, next up in the back, we got the old Gen-Y.
This is a freaking beast.
I pulled my boat for the first time the other day.
Ran like a dream, highly recommend Gen-Y,
they're a great company doing great stuff
for the drop-hitch community,
because there's a lot of you big tow-boys out there.
For lighting, I have an eight-piece black label RGBW kit.
Then, I have a four-piece FCKLightBars wheel rings.
And I also have a four-piece OPT7 Underglow kit.
I didn't do rock lights all the way around
because I found the tubes were a little more easy to install
than a bunch of rock lights, so I went that route.
Maybe not the best idea, but who cares?
So, for interior mods, I don't have a lot of interior mods,
but one of the things that I've done myself,
it took two days in my apartment living room,
I poked about 550 holes in my headliner
and did a starlight headliner, which is pretty sick.
It lights up crazy at night. I thoroughly enjoy it.
And then, pretty much the last thing I have
going on is window tint.
The cool thing about the starlight headliner is
it actually shines through my window tint,
even though they're tinted decently dark.
They're 20% all the way around,
but at night you can still see the stars
when you drive by, which is super cool.
I like to show that off because
there's a lot of hard work and it looks dope.
All right, that's all we have for you
