What lug nuts did y'all use? I just got some rims similar but the shank lugs they gave me didnt fit my 2000 gmc threads. The ones ive found to fit my threads are too big for the bolt hole. Can you help?
At 32 years old.... calling that truck retro makes me feel old way too early.
Im 42 and this takes me back. I agree with the "retro" label hurting the soul- especially since I drive a 05 Yukon like this.
This video makes me wanna get rid of my 19 Silverado, and get another one of these early 2000 GM trucks. Definitely one of my favorite body styles, and it’s not overloaded with technology.
Don't do it. You like the warranty 😂.
I got a 99 new body style and a 05... absolutely love them.. call me crazy but I'm looking for another one..
I am the same. I refuse the new cellphone trucks.
I love my 00’ step side!!!
Just sold my 19 trail boss and bought a 2002 tahoe to fix up. Loving it so far. Went with a tahoe cause i don't use the bed as much as i planned. Might as well have heated excess space.
easily the best combo on youtube ever since hotrod garage was put behind a paywall. thanks power nation for keeping it free.
I’ve had the motortrend subscription for a while now, very worth it to me bc how many shows they have. I do like lt’s wrenching style a lot though.
@@tenderblender945 lllllllllll lol
LT: you don't want to cut into the framework.
Austin: where's my grinder?
Nothing screams 90s like KC lights on a roll bar. 😂. I personally love it. 🇺🇲
Love this build. Wish we had pickups like this here in Ireland
Best round body builds I’ve seen in a while, wonderful job.
"This just screams mid 90s, which is perfect for our retro or throwback '02 GMC build."
Wait. What?
Ha
So is that how I can sell my 01? Is it retro now? hahaha
I absolutely love my grabbers on my 02 Silverado, they are a necessity up north with the snow, mud, dirt, gravel, and the every day driving
Scratches are going to be there off road. Embrace the scratches as Battle Badges!
I love the way this truck came out.
One Gorgeous GMC Sierra , Love Those Trucks.
Beautiful truck, phenomenal build, well done!
I didn't know I could like the look of the first gen Sierra. Looks great!
good job LT. truck looks awesome bro
I love the old school looks with white letters tires and chrome wheels
“A raked truck is a little bit cooler” I AGREE! LT has very similar tastes to mine with truck styling. He always seems on point. Awesome video.
Yeah levelled trucks look like junk and squat with towing or hauling anything.
Would love to do some of this to my Pop's '97.
has to be one of your best videos
I had same wheel setup on my 01 silverado. But I had stt pro tires. But same rims and level kit. Got compliments all the time on it. Guy I sold it to still has it looking same and says he gets compliments all time also.
This body style is timeless
These are our future techs
I have this exact tires on my 2009 f150 4x4 work great!
Makes me miss my blue 02 Z71 Silverado!
Such a good look!
I wish I could get a few extra inches that easy
Lol
Well........ they have things on the internet to add length and gurth. Or so I have heard.
You make it look so easy brah!
truck looks cool
Lifting my 2000 silverado tomorrow. Putting 16 rims with 35 tires😊
I totally agree with rake! Doesn't look like a dog dragging its ass in the grass. LoL
Looks WAY MORE aggressive & capable of actually working with a beautiful rake.
That truck looks like the one from that movie come g to America with whoopi goldberg lol.
Absolutely no need to cut into the bumper or the metal fender for 33s. I’ve had several of these trucks with a leveling kit and 35s and have only ever had to trim the plastic valence bumper and plastic inner fenders (which this truck doesn’t have). Still have plenty of room. This truck could easily fit 33s with the factory torsion keys turned all the way up.
You are correct. But cranking factory keys that high makes it ride harsh and you likely ran factory wheels with positive offset. I would also doubt you put a bump stop under your jounce bumpers to fill in the gap created.
So you're correct. You don't "need" to cut the bumper or fender
Truck looks amazing. Got an 04 Chevy z71, same color and would love to set it up the same way.
Hi, what are the measurements for the rims? 16" yeah but how about the width and offset?
I have something Similar my silverado has 16x8-12 offset 2in spacers all arround and 285-75r16 (33s) cooper evolution mt
Thank god it's not another episode of carcass
fr i as tired of seeing that poor 3rd gen get butchered
@@Cuhh346 that made me a sad panda. I love those gen 3s. Which are slowly getting out of budget for many car guys. And those knobs wrecked what seemed to be a decent one.
@@bmstylee i love 3rd gens as well and i was disappointed in what they did
I couldn't agree more Finn. I don't care much for LT either.
@@73xlh i miss the old guys. They seem to turnover hosts every 18 month. Outside of Tommy, Mike, and Pat.
I Have a 2003 GMC 1500 SL Sierra
With LT265/75R16 all four an sweet all train Toyo tire
If you get the right offset for the rims you won't need to trim anything. Remember trimming is only if necessary. I just mounted up some 20s on 33s for the exact truck with stock ride height and they fit just fine. Only because the offset was correct.
What offset do you have?
I love how powernation reused this truck and remade it stock so it can be lifted again cuz trucks did the exact same thing but they didn't remove the rack in the rear
That GMC SIERRA needs the HD front yall know they look sick
the hd gmc that year only had a spacer between the grill and bump that was like a inch peice of plastic. they look exactly the same. chevys had diffrent hood and grill but not gmc.
That’s the cleanest older GM truck I’ve ever saw lol in KY trucks don’t look like that cause of salt
Come to NYS brother, bed sides flapping in the wind on a lot of em!
I’m in ky and my 01 looks almost this good, I have all the above besides light bar. I do have a little rust tho both rockers a spot on each side enough to put 4 fingers in but that’s it. But I do have clear coat fade on hood and roof, bad but I call it patina. LoL
I was lucky enough to find an 05 sierra with only 60k. It’s been the garage baby of an older gent. That as you can imagine went berserk in an accessory shop and applied every available piece of plastic chrome you can imagine…. Even had some old skool pinstriping done… very well I might ad . But I want to minimize the “glitz” and update the stance. Btw… it IS only a 2nd… so I know I’ll get mixed reviews on “lifting “ it…. I really only wanna level it, and widen the stance… I don’t want a “monster truck” or anything…. Just a nice level stance that pushes the tires out enough to look “bad ass” . Lol. I will use this truck to haul my drums ( has a hard tonneau) surprise ( it’s not chrome… but it does match the truck ) ( fire engine red) …. I love the finished look of your truck … I don’t have or need 33’s I do have 17’s but I’m not sure of the width… they seem pretty wide just not “off road” tires. I don’t need em . The question is, will a leveling kit and spacers ( I know a lot of people hate em.) do the trick? Mechanically the truck is pristine…anything I should know or do? I will probably NOT be doing it myself… ( no specialty tools and would just feel more confident having a “pro” do it….
Estimated labor cost? Spacers and levelers….?
Great video you really talented great work on the truck looks freaking awesome love the rims and tires also I have to tell you I have a RARE 2000 Factory original z85 package with heavy duty Factory suspension not a Z 71 not many of those around
Keep up the great work John with z85 truck from winterpeg Canada all the best in the new year
Z85 and Z71 are the same rating for towing and hauling in my brochure. All these early GM800T vehicles had the same weak 1,500lb. rear springs.
I got a 92 Chevy k1500. Looking to do a number of upgrades. Tires suspension and power (190hp) not making it. Thanks for the info.
So cool
I miss my Wyotech days!
98 k1500 Burb checking in.
what torsion keys did you use they are not listed in the links you provided thanks
For me this still is the best way you can build a truck,big tyres, small wheels and a reasonable lift.
those modern "sema" mall crawlers with tons of led and super custom everything look way worse than this
Little nor cal fender mod .. but how long will it be into the bumper and chopped fender rot out ??
Love my 02 sierra. Has 250k and still runs strong. Not a huge fan of the resale red or the yellow light covers but its a sharp..
My 2002 gmc has 401000 miles on it daily driver.
Holy cow an I thought I was running out of miles on my 02 I got 175k
My 07 Tahoe is at 280k miles and still kickin. Raptor lined the body with the factory gray color to avoid messing with jambs, 2-1/2” level on 33”s on 18”x9 procomp wheels, tuned 5.3, tuned trans, etc. going for a little older school look with 3 round PIAA lights on the prerunner bar and mild roof rack. Been thinking about adding the same lights to the rack but I can’t make up my mind. I have some terrain and trees on my property (nothing too crazy) so my battleship handles it effortlessly and comes out without damage.
can you guys put the wheel and tire specs up? appreciate it!
I got 20s on 35s on a 99 Silverado and I have to do I mini norcal
It's not exactly "off road" ,it's just a rough road.
True. But not everything is crawling. Prerunners are a good example. At some point my Silverado will get the prerunner treatment. Just need about $15k.
hey what size tires are you guys running? i just got that same leveling kit for my 04 silverado
I guarantee you won’t see people doing retro “Bro-Trucks” in 2040.
So sad
Dude-Bro trucks...lolz
That's a man's truck..old school look masculine like something Chuck Norris would drive in one of his movies..
Perfec
Have the same truck. Would have liked to see what it ran on the dyno before and after the tune. Curious if they’re worth it.
Also the light bar looks great until you try to slide a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the bed.
It’s a 6 ft bed anyway right lol. Another 6 inches won’t be missed 😂
I can’t find the torsion key on my 05 GMC Sierra 2wd does it not have one ?
And (at 11:26) make sure you have proper footing on your step stool... 😜
I was wondering if I was the only one that saw that lol
That truck is beautiful
Cuando ay billetes homy!
So what lift did you use? I'm looking for a 2" to 3" lift for my 2001 Chevy 1500HD 4x4.
getting some twister vibes
Thank you for appreciating the rake. I hate all these highway princesses putting in leveling kits and they squat just under there own weight on the rear axle.
Could I get some info on the roll bars
On season 7 ep20 could you give me the name of the wheel,the size,back spacing, off set please as I have the same truck and liked the end product. Thank you. Cheers.
What size motor is in this truck?? I have a 2002 gmc 2wd im doing a lot of these same upgrades too. Plan on putting 3 inches in the front and 2 inches in the back worth of lift. Will I fit 33 inch tires?
what lift kit is that and where to get it thank
It has always supride me they don't have an alignment rack. That way they could demonstrate what goes into one
What they call retro is my daily driver.
What wheels? You dont have them listed in the description
what leveling kit did they use?
Gotta have larger tires and wheels for the hipster parking lot queens you know.
Mane you gotta lean that fool
I had some general grabbers on a used 2011 Sierra i bought they were basically new and they were trash
POWERNATION!! What are the other dimensions for your 16" wheels and where did you get them? I have been trying to nail that exact wheel and tire fitment and look on my 2000 GMC Sierra 1500. Looks really good. I appreciate it.
Saaaammmeeee here. I hate when they dont list complete build info
Guessing it's a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. They look like the Mickey Thompson Classic 3
@@bmstylee Bolt pattern wasn't the issue. Its the brand of wheel. I suppose they don't lost parts used if theyre not a sponsor which makes sense
My guess is 16x10 and they look like Ion 171 rims.
Yea I think 16x10 because I have 16x8 same wheels, and the lip isn’t as big
Wish you guys could do my afm delete 😂
If you are reading this , have a great and blessed day 💯
very nice!! what size wheels are those??
and what exhaust did you install???
Guessing somewhere in the 33x10.50 tire. Exhaust is a Flowmaster American Thunder
Crazy to think a 01 Sierra is considered retro now
Time flies. Back in Black is 40 and Sabbath's first album is 50.
I have the same truck 33'' BFG all terrains. I didn't have to buy the lift kit or cut the fenders neither did you.
I have 35’s with a six inch lift in the front and 4 inch in the back I’m wondering how much more lift I need for 37’s
none, stuff em'
Anyone know what wheels those are?
what are the wheels you used?
LT!
How much lift did on the front did you add? And are the tires 285 or 305s both can be considered 33s one Slightly less and the other more. I'm guessing 305 since you had to cut.
Offset has a lot to do with it as well, I have 285/75s on stock wheels and I didn’t trim at all. And no rubbing.
Talks about the exhaust, no clips of it that he doesn't talk...
New rims and tires, missing a hub cap...
Can give me the spec's on the wheels themselves??
Ya'll think the rims are 16×10? American Racing or Pro Comp?
Bless your heart! I hate these trust fund kids with 100k truck with 28" rims wrapped with rubber bands! Go buy a 64 impala to ruin! I have an 06 F 150 with 35's on 15' and 4" lift. Had a 01 Ranger extra cab with 6" lift and 35's too. Neither truck rubbed.
which lift(keys) is this???
What rims are these?
What rims are those
I have those exact wheels
I know they are Ion’s, but what model are they?
Only on GM trucks you got to cut them up to get bigger tires on
Didn't Stacey David build a red Chevy about the same body style. On the Trucks tv show. Put a tan canvas top on it.
What size rims and tires ? You didn’t give exact size
Are those rims 16x9 or 16x10
