@@MightAsWellK5 well right on! So I’m sure you’ve seen your own list of challenges along the way because rock crawlers are not easy builds by any means either!

Getting somewhere now!!

iPhone editing at its finest😅

Thank you dude🤘🏼🤘🏼

Thank you dude! And yes be such an asset in this whole build process

@@THETERPZ I totally agree, especially after getting my hands on it and installing it I’m even more sold. In my opinion the Quality is the best in the game for these chevy platforms!

@@jacobmacrae9 I promise you the golf carts are smarter to do than this😂

@@connorellisx well worth the comfort in the end. Don’t get as dirty and handles the whoops better. Has it’s ups and downs, hopefully I win the lottery soon 🤞

@@jacobmacrae9 but yours fits in a normal toy hauler and doesn’t need a diesel motorhome to tow it! Hey im trying to get that lotto win too😂

@@gcodemfg heck yeah! Stoked to have you riding along🤘🏼

Thank you man! And yes it absolutely is, man it’s so wild to see it like this!!

It’s definitely a test of determination and drive to get it to the end, I still have a long way to the finish line but it is starting to feel like I’m getting some strides in!

This is just a harbor freight notched, not sure I recommend it for much more than straight 0 degree notches. I’ve had a lot better luck with tube tracers

@@connorellisx Ok

@@treyhakes4284 thank you dude 🙏🏼

Absolutely doesn’t help that’s for sure, that will be changing on this rebuild of the truck currently happening though!

I did the install myself, I’m not sure what cost people are looking at for it these days

@@kingwilly1000 haha you got it man!!!

@@ISNOTXI fiberwerx 👍🏻

@@dodge-yota51 on the white Chevy it’s a max track 3” lift spindle and a lift block delete on the rear leafs sitting on 35” tires

@@rayvettevlogs I think I’ll do a break down of cost at the end.. but I’m gonna say around 50,000 not including the truck…

@connorellisx damn, I'm gonna be picking up at 2015 silverado. Would love to do this but dammn the price. Gotta pay to play I guess. Love the content. I was so nervous when u cut the rear fenders. I don't know if I would have the balls to cut up a good truck

@@rayvettevlogs trust me I’m terrified! I mean there’s a ton of options that aren’t nearly this involved, like getting an LT kit and rear shocks that get you out and having fun with a badass truck, this level frankly is just all consuming at this point for me but I am really enjoying it!

@connorellisx it's definitely a badass build I wish one day my truck will be like this. I'm just kinda on the fence about the afm bullshit with Chevy. Ima be picking up a used 15 silverado. Ima have to do the afm delete I'm buying the truck for a v8 not a 4cylinder. So dumb. I would love to get a 2005 like my bros but they are all beat and a ton of mile . He made it all full long travel. It's not caged but it's close to what u have done.

@@rayvettevlogs honestly I don’t hate on the AFM, lifter may fail on you at like 120-150k miles, but that’s the perfect opportunity to throw a cam in and make a repair a fun upgrade instead. The LT motors make a lot more power and are all aluminum blocks so they are a lot lighter. It’s a better motor in my opinion

So in this video they are the Texas speed ones, I’m now going to the Doug thorley headers!

@connorellisx did you have to modify them at all or was it a direct bolt on procedure for the tsp and are the doug headers better?

@@Jeff-ti4pd so for me specifically the Texas speed ones needed to get hammered in to clear my shock towers. And the Doug thorley ones clear without that, also they are a tri y design and makes a lot more usable power rather than all at super high rpm

@connorellisx ok cool, I'm here in round rock so texas speed is just down the road from, that's why I wanna go with them. Also thank you for your replies and help with info, I do greatly appreciate it. So basically they got scratched up a little bit hammering them in to clear the mount?

@@Jeff-ti4pd for me it was a lot of hammering, but that’s because of my suspension. Stock shock towers it should clear without any issues

Yes!

You can if you run a T fitting. I’d also run a check valve

​@jeep0312 how, intake to booster or some other rout I do get oil in my throttle bode from k&n intake lines

@@JUANCRAMIREZ19 Ditch the K&N filter.

@Guillotines_For_Globalists yea I did put in a dry air filter I'm saying I'm getting motor oil.

@@JUANCRAMIREZ19 Must be coming through the ports that supply fresh air to the valve covers from the huge plastic intake tube in front of the throttle body.

This one is tapered because the intake manifold isn’t ported to 95mm, this I felt was a temporary solution til I get an aftermarket intake manifold

@connorellisx thank you bud, I assume the was nice and flush as well on the inside after bolting the adapter?

@@Jeff-ti4pd yep!

That’s pretty much your best option, I have friends that ship to one state and then pay shipping twice pretty much😂

It’s made by Revlock race supplies! And dude that’s the goal for a great daily driver, my next truck I plan on doing something very similar to that😅

Both, originally I had to cut out the stock fenders and later down the road I went to the DK inner fenders, both are a massive pain, if you can swing it doing both at the same time is a great option as it makes mounting the glass much easier

@@connorellisx thanks for the reply bud

Hahah as much as I hope to never use it… I think it will do its job more than adequately😅

Thank you!!

Negative, I’ll be running the standard hood and fenders set up!

I’m not sure if the 4.3 even has a vacuum pump or not because it doesn’t have DOD I don’t think

It does. Dealership replaced mine after recall

Me as well! Few more things knocked off the mile long list. Fortunately this is starting to show all the little things that tend to be overlooked

The biggest thing is going to be braking consistency, the vacuum pumps tend to lose pressure extremely quickly when using them repeatedly, this being a performance built truck having that braking pressure when you need it over and over is huge, but for normal daily driving I wouldn’t consider deem it necessary. But these Chinese pumps do fail often and this is a much cheaper solution than replacing them

Hey dude! So the bumper/skid plate is custom fabricated, and the valance is made by a company called fiberwerx, it goes with the wider front fenders!

@@connorellisx sugar biscuits, having a really hard time finding designs/packages to do something similar on my 18…thank you though for the reply!! If you happen to have footage, a video would be siick…not much for our body styles

@@Finallyh3r3 as for the bumper take a look at Drew’s fab on instagram, he makes a really clean looking one. Eventually on the build series I’m doing I’ll get to doing my own Prerunner style bumper with the valence again but I’m still a few months away from there!

In this video it is a dirt king long travel race kit on the front, stock rear. But now it’s in the middle of getting all of that upgraded again

Heck yeah! Super easy upgrade and one less part to worry about failing down the road!

I did not, but going from the 87-95 isn’t a massive jump, I would say if you were going from the 79-95mm you may want to

@@connorellisx oh okay because on my L83 I did the L86 swap manifold and Tb , headers e85 and intake is tuned for that. but I ordered the LT5 and going to port the manifold

@@Jose-ew6hj new tune never hurts, I’m sure cause you already have the first tune out of the way a retune is pretty cheap. With the addition of the ported manifold I’d say that I’d retune to get the best results for sure
