(car engine revs)
- Hey guys, my name is Biggs.
I drive a 2014 F-150 EcoBoost.
It is the three five, and she has twin turf skis
and she goes, go, go, fast, fast.
So I'm about to start this build.
- Hello everyone.
My name is Huntter.
I drive a 2014 F-150 with the five liter V8
and yeah, we're building it.
- I would say what inspired me to build my truck,
originally, I wasn't going to do a build
like I am going to do now,
but obviously seeing people roll around
and roll around the shop with some big setups,
I realized that I think I wanted to go the same route.
It's kinda hard.
I'm from Indiana, so I still drive home quite a bit.
And right now my 2014 F-150 EcoBoost is my daily driver
and my only form of transportation.
So a big setup is kind of a bold move, I think.
But I've seen a lot of people on the gram, cody.fx4,
he's rolling around with a pretty massive EcoBoost.
It's a great build.
He inspired me a lot to go out of my comfort zone
with how big I'm going with my EcoBoost.
Cause he does the same thing.
He daily drives his and he said, "Man, just go for it."
EcoBoost are great platforms to get into,
actually make more power
and a little more torque than the Five-O.
Five-O might be a little more reliable
but I'm going to send her, see how she goes.
And yeah, just people around the shop
and searching through the gram.
A lot of people are running big setups on a EcoBoost F-150
and I was like, we're going to send her.
So I had the opportunity to team up with Arkon,
Rough Country, and getting some amp tires thrown on there.
So, I really couldn't pass that that up.
We're going to see how she goes.
- There was one guy that kind of stands out.
I still talk to him to this day, too.
Shout out to you Brock, you've been basically,
I wouldn't say like a distant friend,
you're more one of my close ones because I can kinda talk
to you about anything, but we're pretty close.
We kind of drifted apart during high school and then after
but sophomore year he got his license before winter time
like right when the school year started.
So he had, I don't know what year it was.
It was a, it was a Silverado.
It was a cat eye.
It was a gasser.
It was fully loaded.
So I mean he had the sound system in there.
He had leather.
It was in stock.
I mean, he did quite a bit to that truck.
And then now he's got a clean cat eye Duramax
that he's basically touched every single inch of-
- [Biggs] Right.
- It's insane.
But yeah, I don't think I've ever told Brock this
but just want to give you a quick shout out.
So thank you for kind of, I guess, inspiring me to
build the truck just because I've grown up kind of with you.
- [Biggs] Yep.
- You live close enough to me
that I can come over whenever I want to.
Yeah.
We still talk about my build right now every single day.
And then he gives me updates on how his is going
because he's getting a new bed for his
and stuff like that, getting it painted.
So, but yeah, I would say he's probably
a big influence in my build right now.
Just because we're kind of in the same taste
I guess you would say
just we're big into like shell trucks
and like flashy wheels, you know, stuff like that.
- I used to watch Custom Offsets videos.
Like I used to be a Custom Offsets fan boy,
but my parents, my family has never,
like, my family has always
once you drive that car off the lot,
it's never going to get as much money back.
So why would you put more money
into it when you're never going to see the return?
And they looked more at, as it as like a liability
and more as just transportation, more so
than like how I view it as like a piece of art,
like a way to express yourself.
- Yeah, cause it shows who you are.
- Right.
Everyone around here has a different build.
Yes, we have the same truck, but...
- We're building it different.
- Yeah.
And in reality we have all the same components.
We're building it almost the same,
but his powder coat color is different
from mine because he wanted his color to be
it fits him better and it fits his bill better
I want it to be more extravagant and go a different route.
And like, yes, we have the same truck
but we're building it.
We're building it the same.
But it's also so different.
And like, I don't know, it's just like a blank canvas
and you can create it however you want it.
Like sky's the limit, really.
- I mean, my dad had a truck when I was a kid
and my uncle had a 12th gen F-150,
which kind of inspired me to buy one
just because they're so aesthetically pleasing.
I just, I love the design of them.
I think they're really clean looking
even when they're stock.
I mean, they're pretty nice.
I've always wanted to build the truck.
This is the first one that I am actually, you know,
lifting and doing everything to it myself.
I bought it bone stock back in January of 2020.
But yeah, this is the first one
that I'm putting my touch on
and I'm very excited for it.
You know, starting here at Custom Offsets,
you come to work every day
and there's a bunch of trucks
that are just parked outside
and then it kind of pushes you to want to build one.
So that's what we're doing.
And it just so happens that we're kind of doing
the same build, but in our own own style and taste.
- My truck, I actually am taking a extended vacation.
I'm going down to Savannah, Georgia
to hang out with the dudes from nine line.
And my truck needs to get done pretty much
a week before yours.
- Literally a week before.
I leave on a Wednesday, you leave on the Thursday before.
- Yeah.
So this is, it might not seem like a time crunch,
but once you factor in getting all the parts here,
I know I'm powdering mine.
I know he's powdering his.
Getting the powder here,
shipping times right now are absolutely horrible.
So with that being said, getting everything here,
getting everything done.
I have no reason to think that there isn't going
to be a time crunch and we're building trucks.
I'm sure many of you guys, if you don't know,
building trucks is never easy.
Even if it's a brand new truck
there's probably something that's going to go wrong.
- Let's just hope that both of our trucks
come apart decently okay and that you don't have
to order any parts because we have to order parts
then it's be even longer.
- It's not going to happen.
So yeah, if everything doesn't come apart together well
and parts aren't in, if we have to replace anything,
you're going to see.
- Next weekend.
- Yeah.
You're going to see one of the two of us riding in one
of the other's truck if either of them get done.
Oh, I would say, I don't know.
I think that as of now, his build planes are pretty solid.
He's very eager.
I think maybe sometimes he needs to slow down
because I've learned that building trucks is hard.
And even if you know what you're doing,
don't rush things because in the end
that could cost you a lot more money in the long run.
So just, I know you're excited because I am too,
but just relax.
We'll get through it.
We'll get it done.
And yeah, that's probably my only advice.
- What advice do I have for Biggs?
Concerning he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
Don't take mine and Banker's attitude to heart
because you ask us a dumb question,
you're going to get a dumb answer.
So that's basically it.
And then don't freak out because it's like we said,
everything here happens last minute.
So if it's a last minute pivot, it'll get done.
Whether it be at midnight or the next morning early,
I mean, everything will be fine.
He's just worrying too much.
He's just got to have a positive mindset.
(car engine rumbling)
- [Ryan] What do you got today, Biggs?
- Well, we got to start this build this week.
And I got my parts this weekend, left Friday.
It was about an hour and a half drive there and back,
picked up the parts.
I'm super happy with the color.
I just hope it holds up.
I'm a little nervous about quality, maybe a little bit,
but you know, it is what it is.
I got to throw the (beep) on because I don't know,
I really don't have any other choice.
So, let's...
We're going to unload these things.
Let's go.
- [Ryan] What are you thinking, Huntter?
- I think whoever did this job is (beep) cheeks.
This is terrible.
You couldn't wear (beep) gloves
when you did your (beep), dude?
Come on.
- But like, this one's pretty solid.
- Like, Ryan, get this.
Right here.
Like this should not be on my sweatshirt right now.
Or my hands.
That's even worse.
- Right.
But like I said, we're going to continue this operation.
And I mean, I got Wish parts on here
and I got Wish quality powder coat.
So it'll look nice.
Like I'm literally budget.
Like whatever's the cheapest
and will get the fricking job done,
I'm putting that (beep) in my truck.
Like I don't, I'm not rich.
I don't got (beep) you money like Rainy does,
like look at that guy.
He's got purple axles, dude.
They're even coming up.
Dude.
No, no, no.
Don't let him go.
This is the last person-
- Who the (beep) did this?
- This is the last person that I wanted to see this.
- Oh my god.
- [Huntter] That's just a little thin.
- Thin?
This is like the end of the paint can,
when they're running out and you hold it upside down.
- There ain't no way they actually powder coated this.
Imagine if I could burn this off with my door open.
- [Huntter] How much would you pay this guy?
- [Rainy] Zero, I dunno.
- [Huntter] How much did you pay for a job like this?
- Oh god, you'd have to pay me
to do a job like that on my own (beep)
- Wait a second.
So you're telling me that you saw the parts
and then you gave him money?
- [Female] I feel like he's too nice to say anything.
- I don't have a choice.
- [Female] I know, you're right.
- My truck needs to be built this (beep) week
and I picked it up Friday.
I don't have a choice.
I either pay this guy or I do not have suspension
and I wait to build my truck in a year
because the shop is so backed up.
So I will happily give this dude fun coupons
and (beep) around and screw people over, I guess.
But like, I don't have a choice.
Like this (beep) got to go on.
- [Female] You're fine.
- I think it'll be fine.
- Yeah, you're fine.
It's fine, it's all fine.
- [Biggs] I think it will be fine.
- [Ryan] What the (beep)
- This is bare metal.
Did he get that on film?
- [Ryan] Look at that.
- [Biggs] That's going to rust.
Once that rusts, mileage gets screwed.
At this point, I'm going to put this kid on,
but this winter I'm going to have to buy a beater,
ultimately spending more money in the long run
because if it was done correctly I wouldn't hesitate
as much running in the winter
because it theoretically should hold up really well.
- [Huntter] I mean, it's Wisconsin.
- And I know not in Wisconsin, it's a little rougher.
But like my truck's bed line are undercoated really nicely
and I haven't really had any rust issues as of now.
But if this was done correctly,
I wouldn't have rust issues with my suspension,
theoretically speaking, but with bare metal showing
once a little rust gets on there,
she's just going to eat away.
So I'm going to have to get a winter beater instead
of spending two grand, just to get this done right.
Or $1,100, $1,200, whatever it may have been.
I'm going to have to get a winter beater now
and take all my suspension off and get it powdered again.
And then ultimately in the long run
you're spending more money.
So just do it right the first time.
That's all I can stress to you guys.
Just do it.
If you don't have enough money
to do it right the first time, don't do it.
It's not worth it.
No, your truck's still gonna be lifted.
It's still gonna look good,
but just do it right the first time.
This isn't the first instance where I had (beep)
something and it turned out terribly.
So I tend to learn the hard way
but here we are again, learning the hard way.
So do it right.
- [Ryan] What's the update?
- Today is the 24th.
It is Monday.
I am scheduled to be getting my truck built
AKA me building my truck today.
But we have a couple of problems here.
I don't have my parts from powder yet.
my wheels have not arrived,
and my tires are in Wrightstown at our warehouse.
Technically I could lift the truck and get
the front torn apart, but I don't have any leaf springs
in the back and I don't want to lift it.
And I don't really want to put my shocks back on
their bracket because I don't really trust
that's going to hold the axle
until I get it in the air
and I can put something underneath it.
So I was told that I'll have my parts this afternoon
slash this evening at some point.
So I'm hoping that I can get my leafs in tonight at least
and get the rear done.
And then I can just focus this week on the front.
But I'm hoping that my powder job isn't as bad as Biggs
because Biggs' is terrible, but he already knows that.
So I'm not going to give him too much (beep) for it.
So that's where we're at.
- [Biggs] Huntter!
What just got here?
- My suspension parts came back from powder
and they're getting delivered to me.
- [Biggs] Hopefully they'll look better than mine.
- They're going to.
I don't know if I should wash right away or I should wait.
- [Biggs] Well, anything's better
than what mine looked like.
- Yeah, yours is (beep)
- [Biggs] I think you should go ahead and-
- All right, go for it.
Just the start of it.
- [Banker] Wow Biggs, this is what powder coat
is supposed to look like.
- [Ryan] What do you think, are you happy?
- Oh yeah, let me tell you this.
This is about 20 times better than yours Biggs, I'm sorry.
- Doesn't take much, bro.
My (beep) second grade niece can probably do better
than what I got.
For a little update, you guys know
that I am thoroughly disappointed
with how this turned out.
I love the color.
I did like a fluorescent orange.
It was supposed to be black light or UV rock light active.
So it would have glown.
It would have looked dope,
but I can't put this on my truck.
I'm going to two shows.
This is like a Wish build to the max.
Like this is Wish quality powder coating.
And like to a certain degree,
my truck's already kind of an internet meme
and I can't make it worse than what it is.
So if I put this (beep) on my truck,
like it would blow it out of the water
for worst powder coating truck build
you've probably ever seen.
So I'm going to take this to Rainy's shop.
He's going to powder coat it up
and we're probably lowkey gonna just spray paint it.
Literally anything would be better than this.
So here we are.
Let's time crunch and all.
