- You know, when you were a kid and you told your parents,
you really wanted that BMX bike for Christmas
or that skateboard ramp,
the plastic one that everyone wants,
because you think you're just going to go hit that thing
and do some sick jumps, some sick tricks like Tony Hawk.
When at the end of the day, you know,
it's just going to end up literally going nowhere.
You're going to hit the thing
and you're going to absolutely hurt yourself.
Face plant.
It's not a lie.
You want to hear sick story?
My mom bought me one when I was a kid.
I was too scared to go off the d* jumps.
So she took it off the jump, face planted,
and she was in crutches for quite a while.
And that's a true freaking statement.
Those things are dangerous.
Nonetheless, those plastic ramps were pretty sick.
No matter how dangerous they were
For today's video on crazy show build
is the BMX bike or that skateboard ramp
that you wanted as a kid.
And you are you except now you want that crazy show build.
I'm Lawson @Lawson.co on the gram
and in today's video, we are going to be going over
what it takes or what it costs to build
a unique build.
(music)
Supposedly I have a pretty unique build,
just a big blob of purple and a couple of parts on it,
but nonetheless, here we are today
If you guys need wheels, tires, suspension,
performance, parts, or accessories customoffsets.com
we got to everything that you guys may possibly
need for your truck. And if you have a build in,
or are interested in repping the brand
or being part of the custom offsets team,
you can always apply to be in our ambassador program.
It's actually pretty sick.
Go take a look at that.
It's on the video.
So sure you can do wheels, tires, and suspension
and call it a day.
Nothing wrong with that.
There are a ton of guys and girls doing just that.
And I mean cruise around town,
the trucks still looks very nice and it's a clean nice build
Today, we're going to be going that extra mile.
We're considering all the extra stuff
that sends a build over the top.
So let's just say you just picked up your truck
from the dealership.
You say yourself, you know what?
I'm gonna be hitting all the big truck shows this year.
Not just the little pop up meets.
We're going to be hitting Daytona.
We're gonna be hitting Atlantic city.
We're gonna be hitting Myrtle, Sima if you're crazy
I want to build that as insane.
I want people to break necks as I cruise by.
- D*!
- Now all that is is fantastic,
but as I said, wheels, tires, suspension
do have to come first.
So first off you have to lift the dang thing.
Lift your truck is a very broad statement though.
There are so many options to consider.
When it comes to lifting your truck,
you start off with a leveling kit.
You can start off with a six to nine inch kit,
whether it be a six inch BDS lift,
rough country seven and a half inch Vertex Coilover kit,
seven and nine McCoys, like your boy cranked
up to nine inches because well, Hey, every inch counts.
Know what I'm saying?
- Hey, Hey, funny guy.
I got a joke for you.
- And he liked to party.
Then are the straight axle guys
that can literally do 12, 17 30 inches of lift.
I mean, the sky's really the limit with those guys
and I'm kind of jealous, I want one.
Or those crazy plan B or do love joy,
custom fabricated one-off suspension designs
that you guys have been seeing in our Daytona videos
in freaking sane.
You can only dream about it.
No matter what kit you choose
or what size you guys go with, that's where things start.
Average price of a BDS kit
is around $2,000 for a six inch kit.
Now let's say you want to get spice.
That's what this video is all about.
Let's say you want to ball out.
Let's say you want this BDS kit
to look like no other BDS kit.
And you want people to turn their heads as you cruise by.
So before you install anything, you get your kit powder,
but let's say you are like me
and you also want to get your wheels done.
When I got to freaking wakes, you got to match everything.
So you don't have wheels yet.
So you go on out and you take a couple minutes to browse
wheels for your year, make, and model on customoffsets.com.
Whether you're using the gallery or just the overall store,
boom, you find the perfect set of 24 14.
Let's say you TIS's.
You get a set of TIS 544 for about 2,400 bucks,
that go between your 24 to 14 range.
Boom. You got to hear your suspension.
You got your frigging wheels.
Now it's time to go off to powder coat.
But first before you go,
you need a freaking powder coat color.
You know how long I searched for a color?
First off I painted.
That's a whole nother video.
If you guys want to find out about that,
you can check out my build series, but let's say
that you're picking out your powder coat color.
You can go on out to precision or wherever you may go,
go out online and get some little stitches that come in
with your powder coat colors may have seen Begs do it,
I know junior did it.
They have different versions and variations
of every single color,
whether it be blue, red, orange, green, purple,
friggin, all sorts of colors combined.
You got to do that. Get that shipped out to yourself.
Don't just tell your powder-coat guy
that you want orange and just have him go to town.
Speaking of orange, you know, powder-coat Bigs recipe,
sorry, but it is what it is.
Make sure you guys are picking fantastic guys
that can powder coat your suspensions.
So that way you don't have to redo things
and things get even more crazy.
I'm just playing Begs. You know, I love you.
And I know you're going to get some stuff figure it out.
It's all good at the end of the day.
Let's say it comes back looking so d* good.
Once you guys do get your parts powdered,
you pay a thousand dollars, $1,500, $2,000.
It all depends where you guys are gonna go
to get your powder done,
but make sure you're picking out a good shop
that can also do all of your components.
Take things apart and everything comes back looking amazing.
Well now next up your freshly powder wheels
need some nice meaty boys wrapped around them.
So that way you guys can slap your wheel
and tire package onto your lifted trucks.
So you need tires.
Average set of 35 inch tires will run you anywhere
from 1500 to $2,500,
depending on what brand with and all that sort of thing.
So now you have a truck with a lift kit,
nice wheels and tires.
Powder-coated suspension and things are starting
to look spicy and look nice.
So now you're done, right?
That's it.
Wheels, tires, suspension baby, that's all we promote
Wrong.
The point of this video is unique builds.
It's time to take it another step,
- Another one
- As truck enthusiasts, we continue to push ourselves
and our builds.
That's the whole purpose of this video.
How can you push your build to the next level
and what is it going to take?
I mean, I get messages all the time from you guys
saying, what do you think about color matching my bumper?
What do you think about adding some train horns?
What you think about powder coating this,
what do you think about adding some stereo
and some interior stuff?
Also facts, I really want to get a banging sound system.
How crazy would that be?
Well, for starters, it's going to take some money
and it's going to take some time, like a lot of times.
Sure, there's a lot of people out here
doing crazy SEMA crunches,
crazy show crunches throughout the year.
By the end of the day,
you guys have to be okay with it taking some time.
I mean, come on.
If you're just the average, Joe,
who's working as construction, job, business, job,
whatever job you may be working, you also have to survive,
dedicate money to bills, you know,
have time in between your family and your hobbies
and everything else that's going on.
And you have to be okay with that.
I remember building this truck or even like my last vehicle
that I built wanting to do so much right off the rip.
And you do not have to do that.
Just take your time, do it right.
And eventually everything comes together.
What do you want?
A lot of times people try to complete a crazy bill
in a short amount of time and sure,
In some instances it is possible,
but most likely not just like Bankery saga right now.
You know, I saw him throw the K 350 together
in about two, three weeks.
Doable, but not ideal.
All right. So what's next?
Well, there's all sorts of accessories
that you could start to add to your build.
Let's say your just in.
And as soon as you finish your build
and you think you are good to go,
things start to not cooperate.
You guys are going to see all that
on his build series coming up, but.
- Things just start to not work
and you have to replace them.
Heck even sometimes while building your truck,
you can run into some issues depending on angles,
shape of the vehicle,
as far as crusty components go
and much, much more.
I mean, you guys saw juniors (indistinct)
It's important to take the time to upgrade
your supporting module.
Especially while you are in the middle
of building your truck,
maybe a set of rods for 300, 400 bucks,
maybe some upper control arms from 500 bucks
to help out with angles.
So you can comfortably drive this thing without putting too
much stress and wear and tear on it.
I mean, without my McCoy's upper control arms,
my angles being beautiful.
My drive, to the Daytona and back, well,
it's been fun.
Maybe some lifetime warranty wheel bearings from kryptonite.
So you can slap a big wheel and tire setup on your truck
and ball for the ground.
I got a set right before Daytona, the beautiful 300 bucks.
And did I mention lifetime warranty?
Come on, think about it.
I love mine.
And I just drove to Florida and back to Wisconsin,
no problem.
These are all things that not only will elevate your build,
but also help with drivability.
I mean, come on.
Sure you can build big, huge trucks,
but you can also make those big, huge trucks.
Drive just fine.
Now it's time to get crazy.
It's time to take a step back from your build
and look at some things that you do to make it yours,
to make it your own build.
I know some guys who will get custom grills
and put their names or brand on it.
I know I need one.
Okay, relax.
I'm working on it.
Just chill.
Or do what I do, just wrap the whole d* thing.
I mean, you want to stand out, right?
I was just at Daytona beach truck meet
and there were a ton of sick,
I mean, sick, sick builds.
But one thing that I noticed that was a ton
and ton of white and black trucks, it just is what it is.
Don't get me wrong.
They all looked frigging better than my truck.
I mean, they looked amazing.
But if we're talking about unique,
take wrapping your truck in a consideration.
You won't regret it.
They're also an insane amount of accessories you can do
from bumpers to headlights and taillights, to rock lights,
to audio setups, to even personal touches
that are unique to your self and your build.
I just had a buddy do some custom seating work
where he had his brand or name
stitched right on the head rest of his seats inside the cab.
I go, come on.
Who does that?
Imagine Lawson.co on the grill,
Lawson.co on the frigging head rest
or customoffsets on the grill.
Customoffsets on the head rest.
Come on, man.
Make her unique.
Speaking of inside the cab,
do a Starlight headliner
Or like, 200 plus holes that you have to drill out
to put lights through, but I mean, that's space.
It's pretty cool, stands out.
Or Danny from Mayki Lighting,
he's got like the shooting, freaking stars, things insane.
And if you do it yourself, it doesn't cost on money.
It's just very time.
At the end of the day, we are enthusiastic who love trucks,
who just want to continue to make them unique and cool
and stand out.
We get asked all the time.
What should I do next?
There are so many options when it comes to doing more,
to make your truck unique.
I mean, at the end of the day,
there's not one thing that I couldn't point out
on CO2 or the K through 50.
I sure as hell could point out a ton of my truck.
Cuz you guys point out all the freaking time. Thank you.
Because it gives me ideas all the time,
but mix up wheel and tire setups or do different things.
There's always so much that you guys can do to mix up
the look of your truck.
That's what I've got for you guys on today's video.
If you guys are looking to add to your truck,
make it unique.
We have a ton of options on our website, custom offsets.com.
Also let me know down in the comment section below what mod
you are looking to do next to your truck.
I want to see what you guys have in store for your trucks.
We'll see you guys on the next one.
