- All right, guys, Fuller here with Custom,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube with Jarrod.
I posted on Instagram yesterday,
and I asked a whole bunch of people to ask us questions.
So we're just gonna rapid fire through some of these,
and I'm gonna try to get through all of 'em.
Sweet potato or baked potato?
- Baked potato. - Baked potato.
- "I have a three inch living kit on my 2012 GMC Sierra.
"I wanna run 20 by 12s and 33s.
"Will it fit with minor cutting?"
- Leveling kit, 12 bys and 33s?
- No, you're gonna need major trimming.
You can fit it with a NorCal.
- [Junior] And what body style?
- [Fuller] A '12 Sierra.
- [Junior] Oh.
- [Fuller] Yeah.
- [Junior] A lot of NorCal.
- If it's a 1500.
I guess it doesn't specify,
but you gotta really cut your truck to fit that.
I'd recommend maybe just picking up a slightly larger
lift kit, and then you'd be okay.
"Pick any engine to go with any body style truck.
"What would it be?"
- OBS Ford with a new Five-O in it.
- Mm.
As basic as it sounds, I'll take a C10 with an LS.
Twin turbo would be my preference.
"You suck"
- Thank you.
- No.
(Fuller and Junior laughing)
Was that a yes or no?
- There wasn't a yes or no, I dunno.
"What will the future of step-side trucks be?
"Have you owned one, and would you?"
- I've never owned one.
- I haven't owned one either.
I don't think they're ever going to come back, though.
- Well, look at the GMCs now.
They've got the little step on the side of them.
That's as close as you're gonna get to a step-side, I think.
- And they're doing Ram with the Ram boxes
and stuff like that.
They're incorporating new stuff in the need technology,
but I don't know that step-sides are ever going
to come back.
- [Junior] Frankly, I don't like 'em.
They're kinda.
- Amp makes those, like obviously they have
the powered step, but they also make small ones
for like by your rear wheel that come down, too.
So that's where we're going with it.
I think it looks way cleaner having that flat
or flatter bed side instead of the big dent thing.
- The dent side, that's what they call 'em.
- "Diesel or gas?"
- I've never owned a diesel,
so I'd pick diesel because I want to.
- [Fuller] I would pick diesel because I have owned a diesel
and I think that it is very nice for what I use it for.
However, if you are a person who never does any towing
or you just drive around town or you drive five minutes
to work, you probably don't want a diesel.
- [Junior] And if you don't want a fast vehicle.
It just blows my mind with a diesel how much power
you can get off of just like tune, by like deleting it.
It blows my mind.
- It is pretty impressive,
but like I was saying, if you literally start your vehicle
and you drive a couple minutes to work and you shut it off,
diesels are made to run a bit longer than that.
They kinda need to stretch their legs.
Mine takes forever to warm up.
So I dunno, depends on who ya are,
what you do with your vehicle.
Let's see.
"Wanna do a video on my truck?"
Joey says that.
- Sure, Joey.
- Bring it on by.
"Does anyone's rear differential give a kick
"when you accelerate off of a dead stop?"
- No, it shouldn't do that.
- You might wanna look into that.
- "What shop are y'all out of?"
- Ours, this.
- This is Custom Offsets.
- Technically, you have Offsets Garage.
- Offsets Garage. - Is our total shop,
but it's still us. - Which is the inside here.
- It's us, hi.
- "Will you ever build a six-O Power Stroke?"
- That's awful specific.
I mean we probably in the past through our local shop
that we just talked about.
- I don't think I will build one just 'cause.
- No, I've heard so much about 'em.
There's so many other trucks out there.
Why would you get one that blows up all the time?
- Mm-hm, "Why haven't there been more lifts made
"for air ride suspension?"
- 'Cause it's like brand new.
- It's relatively new, and a lot is changing
with the way that OE manufacturers provide data
to lift kit companies.
So it used to be Ford knows that they're going to make
a new truck for 2021.
In 2020, they'll email Rough Country
and just say, "Hey, guys, here's all the suspension designs
"so you can start working on your lift kits."
Now they're not doing that, at least not nearly as much.
I know Ram in the past was really good about it,
and now they're not releasing data to people, I guess.
That's just what I've heard, so.
- Aren't there also rumors that a lot of the companies
that make the lift kits for Ford,
they're gonna start taking over that market
so that the lift kit companies
kinda get shafted? - Yeah, and it's gonna be
all OE stuff.
It's maybe happening. - Like the SA trucks
type of thing where it's like Southern Comfort edition.
- I also think there's probably not as much demand.
If your truck already has air ride, it rides very good.
- And you probably have a three or four inch lift.
- You can lift it.
So if you just drive around all the time lifted up,
that would be pretty slick
because you can still probably drop it down.
Like if you had 35s on a RAM,
you can still fit it lowered.
You just can't drive it like that,
but you could park like that.
It would look really sweet,
and then lift it up when you need to drive it.
- Air out for the peasants.
- Let's see.
"How do you feel about them late third gen Rams
"versus early third gen?"
- Late third gen's way better than early third gen.
- I agree.
"Thoughts on Fury Country Hunter RTs?"
- I don't know anything about 'em.
- I'm excited that they made them
because the MT was so popular that I think the RTs gonna be
just as popular for those people
who don't want quite as aggressive of a tire.
I haven't driven on 'em.
You haven't driven on 'em.
- We saw 'em at SEMA last year, and it's a cool idea.
We're just waiting for 'em to actually
be implemented, going.
- Yeah, I'm sure they'll blow up.
"Subway or Jimmy John's?"
- Depends on the day.
- For me, it's Subway hands down
because I get every single topping on my sub,
and I don't wanna pay extra.
Every time I go to Jimmy John's, my sandwich is like $21.
- (sighing) But I think I have to go Jimmy John's,
but when I got to Subway, I load it up,
too, at the same time.
I think I gotta go Jimmy John's.
- "2015 Chevy 1500, six inch lift on 24 14s
"and 35, 13-1/2s or an F-150 with the same specs?"
- 15?
- Yeah.
So basically a Chevy with a six inch lift and 14s
or a F-150 with six inch lift and 14 wides?
- I'd pick the F-150.
- I'd pick the F-150, also,
'cause I like that body style better in '15.
- Sorry, Shawn, but the '14, '15 body style
is just kinda brick nose-y.
- It's almost becoming outdated, and it's not that old,
the Chevy ones.
- Yeah, right.
- "Do miles matter on a build?"
- On a build?
- Depends how intense you're going
'cause essentially, anything on a vehicle you can replace.
If you have an unlimited budget,
you can make everything brand new if you want.
So then the miles don't really matter.
I know for me, shopping for cars,
because I put so many miles on,
I don't care as much about miles
if there's the maintenance there to back it up.
- Yeah, I guess, for me, if I know it's got higher miles
and I'm not keeping it more than a couple years,
I won't put a whole giant lift kit.
I won't do too much to it.
It depends on the quality.
- But I feel like you hardly drive at all.
So if you can buy a low mileage vehicle
and then maintain its value.
- I put 8,000 miles on the Bronco this year.
- Okay, I put 35,000 on my Izod.
- That's one of my three vehicles,
and that was in four months.
- Well, hmm.
You also drove it to Daytona.
- Right.
- That was most of the miles right there.
- "What's the best coilover?"
(Junior thoughtfully groaning)
- So King has a really good coilover system.
- [Fuller] That's what I was gonna say was King.
- [Junior] So does BDS, though, too,
and they got Fox packing.
- [Fuller] With the Foxes, yeah.
I like Kings because of the racing heritage.
I guess I can't really say that one outperforms the other
because I haven't been in a situation
where I can literally drive one then the other right after.
- And know which one handles better,
and what about the Sword shocks?
Are those coilover, those ones with hydraulic shock
inside of them?
- Ah, that's a good question.
- 'Cause I would pick those.
Those are pretty nifty.
- And then at the same time,
you've got the Rough Country Vertex system, which is $2,100,
and then it's like well, I mean for the price,
they're really good.
I feel like every question is just well,
I dunno, it depends.
"If you were to make a perfect build for you,
"would it be a Ford, Chevy or a Ram?
Honestly, I really like the '19 Ram, but.
- Tesla Cybertruck.
- [Fuller] Oh, Christ, here we go.
"Can I run a three inch suspension lift
"and a three inch body lift?
- Yes.
- You can.
- I wouldn't recommend it, but you can.
- "Lifted truck or lowered truck?
Lifted. - Depends on the truck.
- In general, though, I think lifted truck.
You have to have the exact right truck
to do a lowered truck.
- I really wanna build a lowered truck
just 'cause you don't see 'em as often
like anywhere besides Texas.
- "What happened to Shawn?"
- He bought a house, bought a truck,
goes hunting, shot a deer.
- Did he, though?
- He says he did.
There's a photo of it.
- Is there a photo?
- Yeah. - I haven't seen it.
Shawn's still here.
He's just busy doing CEO things behind the scenes,
which is mostly paperwork and boring things,
and at the same time, out enjoying life, so.
- He's living life.
- I can't complain.
"Why is Brad so much cooler than Banker?"
- Brad's kind of a funny guy.
Banker's kind of cynical (beep) hole,
so I guess there's your answer.
- Brad is really funny.
- He's got those one liners that you can't tell
if he's joking or not, and then you're like
that was funny.
- Banker gets cranky really easy.
- He's a cranky old man.
- Really easy.
" Would you rather have a 2017 Ford or a 1977 Ford?"
- Ooh, a '77 Ford would be cool.
- Really?
I would take the '17 plus Super Duty.
- '77.
- "How many square bodies have you lowered?"
- Zero.
- Me, too.
" Do you have any parts that could fit a Camaro truck?"
I don't know what that is,
but I feel like that's gonna be awesome.
- Is it like a Camaro ute or whatever those are?
Is that a thing?
- I have no idea.
- Please share more.
- "Will Arkon ever release a method style wheel?"
- No.
- I like how you just jumped right in
and gave 'em the firm no.
- [Junior] Okay, so here's the thing.
Arkon could in the future maybe
if that's what the,
so Arkon's really good at listening
to the, like you guys.
So if you guys want method wheels,
maybe, however, we have a company called Anthem Off-Road
that makes those styles.
- That's what I was gonna say.
Arkon's, they're not gonna make a.
They're too invested in the show market
to make a method style wheel, but.
- But if the market changes in five years.
- Come here. - and all of the sudden,
all that's an option.
- Right, then maybe.
- But it'd be a really drastic turn events
for that to happen.
- "Favorite truck that you saw at SEMA."
- Hm, there were so many.
- I literally don't know which one to pick
because there are too many.
I saw a really sick Mercedes Sprinter van
on black Rhino wheels outside the main entrance.
- I can't believe you. - It's the only one
I can remember specifically.
- All of the Jeep Gladiators.
- No, too many Jeep Gladiators.
"Axle dump or stacks on the Arkon truck?"
- Axle dump, it has an axle dump.
- It has an axle dump.
I would keep an axle dump.
- Don't drill holes in the bed 'cause you gotta drill
through the tonneau cover, too, and it'd just get messy.
Literally because there'd be soot everywhere.
- " Why aren't there more 35/12-1/2 R-24 tires
"on the market?"
- Hm, I mean, the 24s, when you think about it,
are still kind of a, like it's become the new,
standard big size.
I remember when the 20 by 12 was the standard big size.
Now it's like the 24s, but tire companies
have to keep up with that,
and so they're trying to make these new tire sizes.
However, we aren't the majority of the market.
Even though we think that we're a big deal.
- A lotta people still buy for 20s and smaller.
So that's a majority of where their money comes
for those tIre companies to keep functioning.
To make all the molds,
like I think people don't realize it costs
anywhere from 50 to $150,000
to make a mold for one tire.
That's one tire in one size.
So it's a lot of money to make molds for all these tires.
- So if you had $150,000
are you gonna put it into a size
that 20 people are gonna run
or a size that 20 million people are gonna run?
- Yeah, that's why, and 24s and 35s,
it's a really, really small side wall,
and not everybody's looking for that,
especially in a 12-1/2 wide.
- If you're in 14 wides, there's the stretching.
- They're probably gonna be 24, 14s.
So then you're gonna want like a 13.50 or larger.
- But there are companies and a 13-1/2
versus a 12-1/2 isn't that much of a difference.
So keep that in mind, too.
- "Favorite part if working at Custom Offsets?"
- Walking in the door every day to this.
- Yeah, I think coming in and seeing
all of the really cool sh that we build,
and then also, all of the food.
- Yeah!
And also, Brad.
- And Brad.
- 'Cause he's not as cranky as Bender.
- We just love Brad.
The last two questions.
"What is your dream car?"
- I can't decide between either a FD RX-7
or a new body style Viper.
- What are your dream cars?
- I like Corvettes.
- Oh, my God.
- If I had to pick just one car,
I really don't know what I would pick.
I really like the Aston Martin Vulcan
'cause it's angry AF,
but it would not be fun to drive on the street at all.
So there's that.
- [Junior] Then you could be James Bond.
- Yes.
"What's your opinion on chopped exhaust
"versus bought exhaust kit?"
- I have never bought an exhaust kit in my life.
- No? - Nope.
- Yeah, I'm a big fan of just.
- No, let's not get into this.
- Just cuttin' it off and runnin' it.
- Yeah, but okay, so when I say I've never bought
an exhaust in my life, I've gotten exhausts welded on
and stuff like that.
I've just never bought like.
- Like a bolt-on Borla Attack or whatever they sell.
- Fuller likes street pipes. - I haven't either.
- And he likes,
you like cherry bombs? - I like straight pipes.
- No, just straight pipes.
- Nope, just straight pipes.
Pretty much every vehicle I've owned,
I've either done myself or taken somewhere
to have mufflers cut out, straight pipes welded in,
and you're ready to go.
- I had my car for a total of about a week,
and he cut my exhaust off.
- Yeah, I mean you wanted it louder,
and then I was looking underneath,
and I was like, "Jarrod, I think we could just unbolt this,
"move this over here," and is it still like that?
Here we are years later, and it sounds good,
so it's still the same way.
