I believe we pulled from the NBA.
Basically you have to build your team
with $15.00,
and they assign certain dollar amounts
to certain players.
So Keaton went in,
and he assigned dollar amounts
to certain trucks,
wheels, tires,
lift-kits,
and other accessories.
So it's going to be I believe myself,
we got Jarred and Dustin.
We're all going to go through
and build our own version of these
trucks with our $15.00 budget.
Now obviously you can't actually
build a truck in real life for $15.00.
These are just the numbers we've assigned
to each vehicle.
So it kinda breaks it down,
by being some of the more expensive or
more desired vehicles being higher priced,
and then the wheels is kinda the same thing.
A higher priced wheel is like American Forces,
are set at $5.00,
but an Anthem Defender is set at $1.00.
So you kinda have both ends of the spectrum
on the higher priced stuff
and the lower priced stuff.
And the option or the goal here
is to build out your truck.
So let's get into it!
- Hey guys Dustin here with Custom Offsets,
and today I want to take you through
how I picked my $15.00 truck build.
So let's kick it off starting with the truck,
I looked at all the options there,
there're a lot of really solid options,
however I knew that Fuller
was probably going to pick a Raptor.
So I wanted to do something a little different.
I opted to go
with the Dodge 2500. (cha-ching)
I'm going to assume its a Cummins
because I really want a Cummins.
So I picked the Cummins,
and then knowing that,
I actually went over to
CustomOffsets.com/gallery,
and did a little bit of looking around.
Tried to find something that I thought
would be a really good fit.
I wanted to kinda look both at lift size
as well as wheel options,
so that could kinda help me dial in
my choice from there.
So that takes me to the next one.
I found this really,
really beautiful white ram,
that kinda embodied everything I wanted.
He's running a five inch lift kit,
but I wanted something a little bit
bigger than that.
We'll get into that in a bit.
So as far as wheels go,
I went with the Arkon Lincoln.
(cha-ching) I went with the Lincoln.
According to the build sheet,
it's priced really affordably,
and actually,
they are really affordable wheels as well.
They look really good,
the truck I found in the gallery
that I kind of modeled after
also had the Lincoln on it,
in the black and milled,
so those are super affordable wheels,
they look really good,
they look good on that truck.
So I picked the Arkon Lincoln for wheels.
As far as tires go,
I opted to go with the
Toyo Open Countries. (cha-ching)
Great tires,
really good buy for the money,
you really can't go wrong.
I had a little bit of money to spend
in that bracket as well,
so I did that option.
So yeah.
I went with the Open Country MT.
A little bit more of an aggressive tire,
but still super super usable,
plus they look really really good
on those Arkon Lincolns.
So I was super excited about that.
Alright so that takes me into the next bit here.
Suspension,
which is up next.
For the suspension,
I went with the McGaughys seven to nine kit.
(cha-ching) It's a little bit bigger
than the truck I found in the gallery,
a little bigger than the one
that I was originally looking at.
However,
at that price point it can't be beat.
McGaughy's makes really really good suspension,
I think their stuff looks really good,
plus it's that seven to nine adjustable kit,
which means that you can actually dial in
and get that exact perfect level fitment
with that adjustability.
So I went with the McGaughys seven to nine for that.
I know a couple guys that have them
and really really like that kit as well.
So I went that direction.
And then wrapping it up,
as far as accessories goes,
I looked at a lot of options,
I didn't have a lot of money left,
I was up to 13 bucks already,
so I only had two dollars,
which left me with either the
Bushwhacker Fender Flares,
or spiked lug nuts.
Now personal preference,
when I look at both of those,
and kind of the build
and the style of the truck I was going for here,
I actually went with spiked lug nuts.
In this particular case,
I don't think that Bushwhacker Flares
would've gone really well with this build,
so I went with the spiked lug nuts.
Hopefully,
I don't get too much hate for that.
So as I said,
that left me at 14 bucks.
That leaves me one dollar left over.
So I can go to Taco Bell,
get myself a bean and cheese burrito.
(beep) So yeah.
That's how I built my truck.
I'm super excited to see how both
Fuller and Junior built theirs,
and yeah.
We'll go from there.
- All right guys!
So for my $15.00 truck build,
I'm actually gonna build two trucks.
Because I think I can budget it out
into one more overland (keyboard clacks)
off-road style build,
and one more show build,
and have two trucks that are cooler
than Fuller's one truck.
So let's get into it. (beep)
I'm gonna go with the two cheapest,
which I actually don't mind
as it is anyways.
It's a $1.00 Chevy Colorado, (cha-ching)
with (mumbles) max in it,
it's gonna be pretty sick.
And then the second one is gonna be
the Toyota Tacoma for $2.00. (cha-ching)
So I'm at three bucks right now.
And those are two trucks.
So what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna take the Colorado,
and make that my show build. (marker scratches)
Take the Tacoma and make that my overland
offroad trail-style build. (marker scratches)
So then going into wheels,
I'm also gonna go with the two cheapest wheels,
just because I also like them.
These options are good options,
so I'm kinda like,
I'm going under the radar with this one.
The Lincoln is $2.00.
That's the second to cheapest one on this list,
so the Lincolns are gonna go on my Colorado,
(cha-ching) and then the Anthem Defenders
are the $1.00 option,
and that is the perfect tire
for your offroad overland style build,
and that's gonna go
on the Tacoma then. (cha-ching)
So Anthems and Arkons,
two pretty bad (beep) setups there.
Tires,
I'm gonna go with the Federal Couragias and
the Venompower Terra Hunters. (cha-ching)
The Couragias I'm gonna put on the Tacoma,
for the offroad mud tire style,
and then the Venompower Terra Hunters,
just because they're newer,
I don't know as much about them,
I don't know that I would necessarily take them
as much offroad,
just because I don't know,
but onroad,
I don't see any issue.
So those then will go on the Colorado.
Lift kits is the next move,
so I'm gonna do a McGaughy's seven inch
to nine inch adjustable lift kit for $3.00
on the Colorado. (cha-ching)
That's gonna be pretty sick.
A Colorado on nine inches of lift?
I don't even know if they make 'em for it,
but hey,
it's all pretend anyways right?
So here we go.
And then the ReadyLift SST Kit
is what I will put on the Tacoma.
(cha-ching) So Tacoma
on SST ReadyLift Kit,
which I think is like a three and a half
or four inch suspension kit?
And then the Colorado is gonna have
a seven inch to nine inch McGaughy's.
I have one dollar left over
if I did the math right.
(beep)
I have one dollar left.
So I'm gonna put spiked lug nuts on my Colorado,
(cha-ching) because all show builds,
and Arkons,
should have spiked lug nuts.
So there you go!
I just built two trucks for $15.00 total!
What!
I beat Fuller.
Totally, hands down.
But yeah.
So Colorado on 26 by 14,
let's go 24 14,
it's kind of a smaller truck.
A Chevy Colorado,
24 by 14 Arkon Lincolns,
in chrome,
went with Venom Power tires,
went with a McGaughy's seven to nine inch
adjustable lift kit,
and then spiked lug nuts.
And then I also snuck in a Tacoma.
I did a Tacoma on Anthem Defenders,
with Federal Couragia MTs,
ReadyLift SST suspension lift kit,
and that's it on that one.
I smacked spiked lug nuts on the Colorado,
it's more of a show build,
than an offroad build.
(clap) Beat that, Fuller!
- So when I was going through
to pick the truck that I wanted,
I wanted something relatively capable,
but I didn't wanna blow all of my money,
go with the Ford Raptor,
which I'd usually probably pick.
But since I'm trying to stick to a budget,
I went with the Toyota Tacoma. (cha-ching)
So that's $2.00 there.
Toyota obviously I've been a fan of,
I've said it before in different videos,
they make really capable vehicles.
I love the Tacoma.
I think it's a great offroad platform.
And yeah.
That's why I chose the Tacoma.
Now jumping into wheels,
I went with the Anthem Defenders
(cha-ching) because on my list here,
they're only a dollar.
So I can get wheels for very very
affordable prices,
which translates to real life too.
The Anthems are a more affordable brand.
But here,
I can get the wheels,
and then I'd have more money left
to spend on the other items on the list.
So I put a lot of money into tires
because just like in real life,
I want to put more money into tires
because tires are the one thing
that contacts your truck to the road,
and I think they're very very important.
So you'll see me talk about that
in other tire reviews that we've done
on the YouTube channel.
But I went with the
Nitto Ridge Grapplers, (cha-ching)
which are actually the highest priced
on the list at $5.00,
according to the little sheet
that we've got here.
It's a hybrid tire.
Little bit of all-terrain,
little bit of mud terrain.
So it should be relatively good
if I'm going for more of an offroad style
build on here.
The rest of them were like true MT tires,
and the Venompower Terra Hunter tires.
So I went with the Nitto Ridge Graps,
tried to go with American made product,
and they're just a very good tire.
Would recommend them to a whole bunch of people.
So why not go with them myself?
Now jumping down to the lift kit,
BDS Coilover came in at the most expensive,
and I also went with the BDS Coilover
(cha-ching) because again,
going for the best quality
and best driving experience.
So that's why the tires and the lift kit
were two very important pieces.
So those are both $5.00 each.
That ate up a good chunk of my budget.
And I have $2.00 left to spend on accessories.
So the only thing I can get
was either spiked lug nuts
and come in under budget,
or go with the Bushwhacker Fender Flares.
And I decided to go with the
Bushwhacker Fender Flares, (cha ching)
cause it kind of completes that look
of the offroad theme
that I had in my head
when I designed this virtual truck.
So that's our Virtual Build-Off.
I'm sure at some point
we had the price sheet up on the screen here,
or maybe Keaton's got it up right now.
You can kinda go through that,
let us know in the comments
what you would pick for your build,
your virtual build that is,
or if you're trying to build your truck
in real life,
head up to customoffsets.com,
we've got a whole bunch of stuff
on sale right now as well as
as low as 0% APR financing.
So we've got deals.
That way you can kind of
build your truck right now,
and don't have to worry about paying for it
'til later.
Peace.
