I've got an '06 Chevy, Z71, 4x4, extended cab, 280,000 + miles. Rough shape but it did drive good until the fuel tank almost fell out & the frame cracked. Repairing it I found the frame pinholed. As of now it's sitting & I'm thinking on how much I could spend on it. We're talking a used frame, used rear axle & some body work. I loved this truck before this happened & really hate letting go but think of how much all of that could cost?

Good Job on the build young man. keep up the fun videos. dale

I am surprised to be the first one to comment on your video sir. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into this. I think it will be a fun boat for you. I had a 14 foot trackers for quite sometime and it looks very similar to yours. I had a 5 HP on it and it still runs like a champ. My buddy down the street from me has it now,. We want out in it the other say, last Thursday and I was able to teach him how to use his new boat. He has never owned a boat and he picked it up quickly. On your trolling Motor, I think you may be able to cut that shaft down to help you out with it being too long, Might check on it, but a lot of them can be cut down some. I did notice the alligator, How fun, your mom did that. Awesome she did a great Job. Thanks for sharing this build update and tell your mom she did a great job on the gator. Keep up the fun videos. Dale. PS subbed you as well.

Back of the cab has damage due to the bed smashing into it when it was hit.

Overload shocks aren’t the best idea . The shock mounts aren’t designed to carry weight. I would go air bags or like you said add a leaf or all new spring pack. Just my thoughts but otherwise nice work truck. 👍🏻

Love the setup bub!

after seeing this video and another guy in the comments saying he had one for only 2k i feel like i got ripped off for buying a 07 colorado (not silverado) for 2.5k it seemed like a decent deal with everything working and it had 108k miles but idk now 😅

Great truck !

About to slap mine on a 12 foot V hull I’ve been restoring. Does your cavitation plate match your transom bottom?

Nice truck I always liked the cat eye trucks

Keep an an eye on your reared mine went bad after I was hit in my Silverado and it started to make a noise

Thanks bro

Thank you for that.

Just paid 13 OTD at a small dealer here in Cali. It’s a 4 door 4.8 with 130 miles. It was on par for what’s on market place. You got a steal for 2800 bucks

Good purchase, damage on a truck is ok, just gonna get used anyway, this way you dont have to worry about messing it up.

Greensboro, NC Acedemy Sports had three trailers on the sidewalk Sunday when I was there.

Great Video, I would like to see how you going to repair the rear damage

My trailer came new with my 2024 Lowe 1440M, so taking a look at the Acedemy Sports trailers which was on sale for $799.99 recent! I could tell my trailer was another level above those just the way the frame is made, I would still buy an Acedemy Sport trailer because it should be easy to get a title for it being brand new.

What ah battery are you using?

So you just have it wired directly to a battery to splices or anything else? I have a 12ft Jon boat & need a trolling motor I just wanna know if I can hook it up directly to a battery without having to add all these extra things to it

Do yourself a favor and change all the fluids I have an 03 11600 miles

Great post Thank you ..

Great Post, TY... so straight pipes? no Cat Converter ? don't need one in NC please explain, I have 2005 WT that I'm currently working on. and what did the lift cost you?

I just got a 2005 Silverado 1500 (floor shift) 4x4, 2 door long bed, with 157k on it and it’s a work truck model as well. Had to replace the back 2 frame cross members and weld in new ones (got from eBay), and primed & painted the back half of the frame, and just put in Bose door speakers from a Suburban from the junkyard. By far, one of the best daily/work trucks I’ve ever had!! The best part, only paid $2000 for it 6 months ago. Plus, I have a 2005 LLY Duramax that I have as well that sits at home to tow our camper on the weekends or for long, far away camping trips.

I just paid 6 for an 04 2500 hd 6.0 with 185k on it,I’d say you got a pretty good deal.

I'm about to have 33's on cadillac escalade stocks, with 2 inch spacers and badland industries lift and ball joint spacers 😊

Very nice, only recommendation I would say if to replace the front deck with aluminum. Lighter and stronger for you and your boat.

Should be fine for my single cab 91 Nissan pickup. The 7w per channel tape deck at max volume even with new speakers was too quiet at highway speed especially on concrete. Listen to podcasts and books 90% of time any way so bass is moot point

Hey man I have one of those trucks and I have a mint condition folding center console. I had just replaced the lid on it but I found a steal on a full center console. I can give it to you super cheap if it would help you out. It’ll just sit in a corner otherwise.

I have the same unit I’m installing for a client so how do you remove the trim ring around the stereo? Not the bracket cage, but the trim ring

Good on you. Frame OK underneath?

What lift did u have on this?

Looks real nice, and dang what a price. 👊

LA FOUNDA

And how bad are the CV angles and Ball Joint angles?

What Lift kit did you use?

Buddy, I sure do miss my '03 Silverado 5.3L. It had almost 300k miles on whenever I got rid of it. The only thing that was wrong with it is that it had a rear main seal leak. The fella I sold it to loves it. Still runs great to this day. You've got yourself a nice truck there.

How is that totaled? It just needs a bedside and a rear bumper, and possibly a new receiver hitch if it's even bent at all. I just backed into a dang telephone pole with my truck this past summer and had worse damage than that, and my insurance company did not total the truck, but it was about 5k to repair it.

I feel your going far ima follow and see

if you still have the 2 hp. outboard you could do a video on how fast it will push that little boat.

nice boat, I picked up an older 12 foot jon boat. a while back, hope to get it on the water soon, it came with a 2 hp. outboard. the boat is a mid 60's model, I need to replace the transom. it would work for a while with just the small motor on it but I want to mount some stuff to it so I plan to replace it soon,

Hell yeah

Beautiful truck man

I have the same exact truck

Is the rod strong enough to handle jigs or spinner baits

Did you put spacers in want to lift mine and put it on 35s

Thank you so much for this video was trying to figure out how to run mine as a front mount

Looking for one for my 12ft boat how is it for casting or staying pretty steady along bank?

Can you run the trolling motor without a short circuit connection.?.?.

Looking to purchase an 05 z71 crew cab 4x4 but I’m concerned of a brake issue my master tech told me. He said at high mileage the brake parts break easily on these models and you end up having to replace the entire thing every brake replacement, I love this truck especially with what you’ve done to it, mine will be all too similar at purchase and I do not want to be discouraged, I was wondering if you heard anything similar or it’s a possibility it was the one vehicle he could’ve worked on?
