    So cool to actually see someone start something with a goal in mind and actually follow all the way through with it

    This is one of the most badass trucks I have ever seen. It's even better that you did it all yourself. Props on an unforgettable Chevy.

    Had some fun back in high school in a white Z71 like that, fun times.

    You never know you may be able to buy it back one day. If you want it back that is. Nice video. It was a bad ass truck.

    Hope the next truck is as badass as that one. I feel your pain i just put a lifted chevy to rest a few months ago that i had for 16 years, and had so many memories in.

    Dude your truck is the role model for my maroon 98 Z71. Hope to get it repainted two tone with lift kit in the future. Got it running like a bad ass right now.

    All I have to say is whoever bought this truck better take good fucking care of it!! I had a 1992 Chevy k1500 all tricked, best truck ever but I was forced to sell it also. Beautiful truck man definitely the best I've seen built!

  • @wavejumpinseadoo
    @wavejumpinseadoo 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't see the point of doing that to a truck, however, I can relate to loving your truck. Tweaking and tuning your truck to your own tastes is really enjoyable and brings me (and I'm sure you as well) lots of pride.

  • @deanhamilton6544
    @deanhamilton6544 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job with the video. I enjoyed watching the progression of your truck. A lot of hard work.

    Awesome video man! That truck is killer! This economy is ruthless and i have been its victim myself..You built one hell of a truck and did it right which most ppl these days dont do. I have one or two of your videos of that truck saved in my favorites and they get watched repeatedly! Good song choice too lol

    Massive set up ! 👍🏼 I always see vids of trucks like this in the Midwest with massive 800hp motors and want to go to one of the muddn events.
    I did the same thing in highschool, one pay check at a time. Now it just sits and gets driven once a year, if even that.

    Well actually we did rent out our house and move in with my Grandmother, after several months and still losing ground I put it up for sale and sold it at asking price. Over the last 2.5 years things have gotten alot better and on track, there are some thoughts in my head about the next Mega truck. The next one will be EPIC!!

    About 10k but I had to dig deeper because the stock transfer case broke shortly after so another 2500 on top of that.
