- What's goin' on, guys? It's Dustin from Custom Offsets.
We're back with another Employees Rides video so we're gonna
take a look at some of the rides that are in our parking lot
we're gonna get started right now.
So we we're going to do this outside in true Employee Rides
fashion. However, it's like minus 40 degrees outside
and it's raining, and it's really windy,
and it's just not a nice day. So instead,
we're going to do this here in the show room.
And our first guest today is none other than the Kirk.
Kirk, come on.
- Hello.
Hi. How long has it been since you've been on the
Custom Offsets review by the way?
- A couple of years.
- Fair enough.
So Kirk, tell us what you drive.
- I currently picked up a 2022 Ford F Two 50 Lariat. Tremor.
- Ouuu Tremor.
So tell us a little bit about the build.
I know you got some, some suspension
there's some muzzle tire stuff going on.
- Yeah, so it currently just has a wicked,
two and a half inch spacer leveling system in the front.
Super high quality. I love the kit
and our radius arm drop brackets and all that fun stuff.
And then just 20 by 10 anthems and 37 by 12 and a half
Cooper STT pros.
- So I have to say right, I saw this thing come together.
The color: wild. Wheels: fantastic. Tire chores: hot.
Like for a daily, this thing is fire, man.
I love it. It looks super good.
What's your favorite part of owning it?
- I just liking being back into a truck.
So I've had cars pretty much the last two or three years of
my life. So getting back into a truck is super awesome.
So I just love the way it looks.
It's just... I just missed having a truck.
- Yeah. And I don't think you could go any bigger.
It wouldn't fit in your garage.
- Yeah. I only have a few inches to spare.
- Is there anything that you don't like about your truck?
- Oh boy. Yes.
I didn't realize that the tremor package adds F three 50
leaf packs and it rides like a legit lumber wagon.
If you have your home- like your phone in your hand
and you go over a bump, like to change music,
it's gone. No longer in your hand.
So that is probably the only thing I dislike about the
truck. It does have a max towing package.
I don't know how much that changes it,
but the tremor package coming with three 50 leaf packs makes
no sense.
- But it's capable off road, bro.
- I don't know too much about off-roading,
but in my opinion,
I don't think a stiffer suspension is necessarily better for
articulation off-road so.
- Besides that.
- That's a fancy word. Articulation.
- Besides that, love it.
But that is one thing I really dislike about the truck.
- Any future plans for the trunk?
- The main thing is fixing the suspension.
It's such a terrible ride. I,
I need to do something about it.
- So what are you going to do?
- The only option that I see that could really,
really fix it is probably a Carly kit.
So I'm looking into that.
It's likely going to be sitting around seven,
eight thousand dollars for a full Carly kit,
but from what they read on the interwebs,
that is the kit for HD systems
- I have an idea.
I can fix your ride.
I'll trade you my Duramax for your tremor,
and then it'll ride better.
- This is worst trade deal in the history of trade deals
I've ever heard.
- That's fine. All right. Thanks for comin' on.
We're gonna move on to the next one.
You're not even my real dad. All right guys.
So we just talked to Kirk and up next we've got our very own
social media, a social media guy,
I guess you could call them social media extravaganza
extraordinaire. Come on in here, Chris, get over here.
The one and only, Chris.
- Howdy, howdy, howdy.
- Hi. Hi.
All right, Chris, tell us what you drive.
- So I am driving a 2015 Ram 1500 big horn.
- Ooh, big horn guy, big horn guy, big horn guy.
All right. What do you got done to it?
- So, so far, what I've done to it is
a four inch BDS suspension dead.
I forget. I'm running 20 by 12 wicked off-road or W906
wheels wrapped in 35 by 12 and a half Kanda cleavers.
- Kanda Cleavers, solid tire option. Of course,
really good looking wheel on that truck.
I think the fact that you've got 35 stuffed on a four inch
lift looks fan-freaking-tastic.
What's your favorite part about owning that truck?
- I feel like a big boy now.
- I want you guys to know that for the longest time. Chris,
how long have you worked here?
- Eight months now? Nine months?
- So for the first six and a half months before he
lifted his truck, we harassed him every single day
about driving a stock truck. It was great. It was awesome.
- To be fair. I was waiting 19 weeks for my life.
To come in from BDS.
- Don't say that. Cut that out.
We're not talking about that (beep).
So what's your least favorite part about it?
- Gas mileage sucks.
- What do you average?
- Right now? I'm averaging around 14 and a half.
- Oh, okay. That's not the bad.
- This is from 19?
- Yeah, okay. That kind of sucks, but that's not that bad.
I think my Duramax gets like 16 on a good day when it's
not 40 degrees below zero outside.
- That's fair.
- You know. And once it gets cold, the Duramax is like, nah,
five and a half buddy. That's what you get. Future plans?
- I'm gonna go road armor, front and rear bumper.
- Ooh. Okay.
Fair enough. I, I think I like it.
Well, I think that about wraps it up.
Thanks for joining us today, man.
Thanks for coming on board.
And remember to blow up the Instagram posts because Chris is
the one that has to answer them. So drop him lots of nice
comments and make sure we keep him busy.
- Yes sir.
- Okay bye.
- So up next, we're kicking it a little different.
We've talked about a couple of trucks so far.
Now we're going to get into a little bit of SUV style.
Talk about a four runner. Keaton, come on in here.
- Hi.
- Keaton, what do you do here?
- I'm a videographer.
- Let's go. So Keaton's one of the guys behind the camera,
makes me not look like an idiot all the time.
Anyway, Keaton, what do you drive?
- I drive a 2020 Ford Runner.
- 2020 Ford Runner.
Damn! Okay.
- It's an SR five premium.
- Ooh, you got that premium though. All right.
Tell us a little bit about,
so you've got some work put into it, right?
What do y'all got going?
- So it's a three inch icon lift on Canady, their...
what is it called?
- Their hybrid tire? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We just looked at it before, we gotchu.
- Oh start over, start over.
- I forgot!
- Canady's hybrid tire and Anthem Intimidators.
- All right, fair enough. I love the wheel and tire choice.
I think it's good. I I'm gonna be honest.
I think I love every wheel and tire choice,
but I like that one.
I think it's a little bit minimal for that, you know,
kind of understated. Looks super cool.
What else do you got going on?
Because you've got like the whole Overland rig, right?
Like you've, you've camped in this thing before and stuff.
- Yeah. So I have a, the back hitch.
There's a fifth wheel spare carrier. It's from Rigid Supply.
There's a roof rack from Prince Who Designs.
The headlights are from Alpha Rex. I think it's Nova series.
The tail lights are from Morimoto.
Alpha Rex just recently made tails,
but they didn't have them at the time.
I think that's about it. The inside we also bought,
I bought a head frame that goes in the back and I have like
a fridge and stuff for it.
- And you, you did, like you took it on a trip, right?
For a couple of weeks, I think.
- Yeah so the summer I went out west to Montana, Washington,
Oregon,
Idaho,
Wyoming.
- What's your favorite part about owning it?
- Definitely the ability to take it on trips and stuff.
Kind of being able to bypass, you know,
having to get a hotel and being able to camp,
but still having some of the luxuries, you know,
within the truck has been super awesome.
- Right on. What's your least favorite part about it?
- Definitely the gas mileage.
So before all the mods,
I got probably like 19 miles per gallon.
Now I'm getting like 15.
- Can we talk a little bit about any future plans?
- Not really. I mean, other than the front and rear bumper,
that's about it.
- You can do one of those cool like rooftop tent things.
- I wanna eventually do a rooftop tent
but the tents are like, you know, especially as of late,
they're like three, four thousand dollars.
So we'll see, especially with having the,
the bed frame in the truck,
I'm kinda like spending that much money when I can,
you know, upgrade in other ways kind of seems foolish,
but you know, maybe down the road.
- Hell yeah. Right on. Well, thank you for coming on board.
Thanks for kind of walking us through that.
It's been super cool obviously to see the four runner come
together and I'm excited to see what else comes.
- Thank you.
- Hell yeah, right on.
- All right guys, so we just got done talking about a couple
of trucks. We talked about a full runner and now we're going
to shake it up a little bit. We're talking about a car,
but not just any car. Joining me today is Anthony.
The one and only PR and charities manager.
He's doing like jumping jacks over there, he's all hyped up,
you know what I'm sayin'? This should be fun.
So Anthony, I just want to lay this out there.
It's not technically your car, right?
But it's our car. It's the fitment industry's car.
And we want to talk about that today.
So tell us what it is, first of all.
- Yeah so the car is a 2003 S 2000
drop top manual transmission.
We've got continental tires on there for everyday driving.
And also for the track,
we've got the ROTO Form Forage wheels on there,
which are color matched white with the wrap,
which is amazing. BC racing came in with the suspensions.
So again, it's an everyday driver,
but you can also take it out and do some wild stuff with it.
I know other guys had headed out at Road America.
It's amazing. The partners that we have with this,
that car is also like the truck being built for charity.
So we're supporting reach out worldwide started over
ten years ago, they traveled to ten different countries
and they especially help here in United States
with things like the flooding and the fires that have
happened over this past year plus.
They have deployment teams that are going out,
helping out when disaster strikes.
So the fact that we built this car, the S 2000,
and we're going to be giving that away to charity.
That's pretty amazing.
- Yeah, it's super cool, man.
Like I think that the coolest thing about that car is not
only wheels tire suspension, right?
But it's got the wrap, it's got the Seibon bits,
the hood and the skirts and stuff like that.
It's got some aftermarket racing seats.
It's got a quicker steering wheel.
- Big wing.
It's got a big wing,
it's got everything you would want, right,
but on top of that much, like our SEMA truck,
our friends over at Fitment Industries are also giving away
a car supporting that charity like we talked about.
So they're doing the kind of the same thing we are.
So it's been super cool to see that all come together,
both on our sides, obviously with our truck,
which you can pick up.
We got brand new hoodies, by the way,
- Boom.
- New one new one,
two brand new hoodies.
You can pick those up at customsofficers.com. Exactly.
Plus those guys have new stuff as well. So just a really,
really cool opportunity on both sides.
So tell me what your favorite part about that car is.
- You know, just seeing the smile on people's faces.
I think the S 2000 is perfectly fit for Fitment.
Their audience absolutely loves that kind of classic Honda
vibe and so we wanted to build a car that is relatable to
the audience. That's relatable to our enthusiasts here.
- And again, if you guys want to check that out,
you can check that over at fitmentindustries.com. Again,
Anthony, thank you so much for joining us today.
Thanks for coming on board talking just a little bit
about what we got going.
- I was gonna try to
- One, two.
- Deuce. Whatever. Thank you.
All right guys. So there you have it.
There are some of our Employee Rides.
Do you guys like the style of video?
Let us know down in the comment section below, if you do,
it's gonna be winter.
So guys are putting their fun stuff away, but you know,
we can still make something work.
Remember if you need wheels, power suspension,
performance parts, bumpers, headlights, tail lights,
all sorts of stuff for your truck.
We pretty much have it all.
You can find that at customoffices.com.
