Needs to patent and sell this as a build kit. Would love to do it to my ‘06!!!!
That body gap is absolutely bananas hahahaha
This Cadillac is the pimp of off roading vehicles
Coolest Cadi I've ever set my eyes on! Nice!
I love it!
@@TrailBuilt I'm ready to sas my 03 Tahoe. I have an np241c in. Works great. Need to find some Ford axles and it's go time
I have an 02 Escalade I got for cheap I put a lift and 33s on it. The factory 4wd is good. This looks awesome though. I kinda wanna make mine a pre runner with long travel suspension
Looks nice mine is a 2006 ESV called XKLNDR will upload video soon, planning on an over lander trip to Patagonia, keep trucking brother.
Time seeing this and it’s the coolest thing I ever seen looks like the YEE HAW 🤠 kind of stuff to me LOVE IT
Isn’t the purpose of remote rezzies to keep the fluid cool? Kinda defeats the purpose being mounted in the engine bay, no?
After watching your vid I would get a normal body too. Love lifted Escalades. Just never seen em in real life
that thing is a beast! I’ve got a Tahoe and want to do something but not that extreme.
Awesome build.
Nice !
Thanks!
Absolutely ridiculous. I love it
🤘
Awesome build!
Definitely!
I can dig it 👍🏾👍🏾🏌🏿♀️
unbelievable build, I got a 2006 gmc Yukon Denali looking for some ideas
I can’t believe it’s still on the stock trans
Awesome build! Can y’all have more build breakdowns on this channel
I just bought a 6ltre awd 03.
I was thinking about an overland build. I was hoping he had his bumpers figured out already.
That thing has crazy body lean on the street.
My dream😍😍
Same color as my 02 😎
Is putting the front shock resoviors in the hottest possible place a good idea? Surely cooling is desirable for shock resoviors!
A bit extreme for my taste but still nice, I’ll be waiting for more progress on this Lade
Any thoughts or advice on running an awd transfer case with a solid diff?
Want to do similar to my 2009 Expedition, but not so over the top. I’m a contractor and is my work truck, and do travel on highway to sites (that may require more then street stock). My biggest issue is IFS and IRS , no leafs
LOVE IT!! Finally something different!! Put a detailed build sheet in the description Brad!! You got to do a a closeup video up on a lift with this rig.
I think they primarily do conversions
What are the spring rates for the coilovers?
Wow ! Nice how many miles on it ?
What spring rates up front
I’m contemplating buying either a 2002-2006 body Ext and lifting it
Do it
At 6:38 passenger rear, behind wheel, what is “disconnected looking” tube with a ball socket on end?
Bumpstop
How much does this cost I want to do this to my 2003
I like off road big SUVs
Got it for cheap bc it didn’t have a title. Went thru Vermont to acquire one thru their loophole. Lol
Had to get it done one way or another! 😂
@@TrailBuilt you ain’t kidding. I definitely can’t say I haven’t done the same 🤣 love the video tho. I need to do something similar to my 03 Escalade 🤙🏼
(IS THERE ANYWAY TO REACH THE BUILDER OF THIS RIG? I'VE GOT A TON OF QUESTIONS!) I've got a 2003 Escalade ESV (suburban dubbed the Escabubu) that I absolutely LOOOVE. However. I lothe that it's ONLY AWD!!!! :/ So I've got on a few Caddy forums and asked about if anyone had converted over to real 4X4? I got NOTHING but a crap ton of dumb comments.. I've already got this truck I love it and I want to get back into 4wheeling and overlanding with my family of 5. Hence I love the size of my caddy. I never understood the moronic decision to completely redesign the the drive train for the Hummer 2, escalade series and the denali's of this era? The auto 4x4/ regular hi/low 4x4 from the tahoes and suburbans were perfect! Why the heck would they waste all the time and $$$ designing a pointless awd system! Simply stupid. Side note. why did I buy an awd caddy if I knew about all this??? Well Short story is I picked it up for $2800 bucks did a little work to it and expected to flip it for a few bucks since I was able to get it sooo stupid cheap! However this big idiot fell in love with the truck now it's sitting in my driveway as I sit here.... So I've been contemplating straight buying a wrecked 2500 series GM truck since that's basically what my cadde is but with a few minor changes and some caddy badges. Oh and AWD>... So I'm thinking that I'll just swap the drive train from the 2500 series and get the whole truck so I have ALLL the parts I need to do my conversion then I can also have the benefit of converting over the the 80 series transmission from the 60 series the escalades came with. So I'd be looking at using everything from the donor truck but the engine since mine is very healthy,( I'd probably crate up the donor engine Just in case and throw it in storage for when my current 6.0 wears out...) I'm talking axles and ALL! Now I'm not desiring to go anywhere near as big as your truck but I do really want functional 4x4 and I'd like to get a solid 4" lift on some 35's or so. I need to keep it low enough to function daily, plus I'm a disabled VET with some issues. So I can't get too crazy here with budget or all the rest that goes with a budget like this.
Very easy to swap an NP261 into them.
I mean I know it's not ideal for off-roading but I would have had to keep the all-wheel drive and you can keep the all-wheel drive and have a 4:1 gear reduction by using the Hummer h3 or H2 wait I don't know about the H2 but I know for a fact that h3t alpha has a 4to1 gear reduction width all wheel drive. They call it full-time four-wheel drive and it does act a little bit different than the Cadillac all wheel drive because in wet slippery road conditions I could definitely drift in my Hummer I had the h3t alpha with adventure package I think all the office have it but I don't know. I have never been in a more capable truck from the factory. My jeep had all kinds of upgrades on it. And my Hummer outperformed it in every scenario except for creeks if you're going in a creek you need a Jeep. I can't remember what Jeep it was the long Rubicon but not a four-door. And something that always drove me crazy if I put my Jeep in second gear and in four low sometimes it would still want to shift into first. I can say the Hummer broke CV axles until I beefed up the front diff mounting but I shattered the transfer case in my Jeep the Hummer never didn't get itself home. I drove a h3 with the five cylinder and dear God why did they ever put that in there. I don't think you can get over 70 in it and my Jeep could cruise down the highway at 80 no problem. And in my h3t alpha the 110 was nothing it didn't even start to slow down until about 125 but at 130 you're going to die cuz it starts oscillating really bad. This was all on closed course of course.
It's nice but the front bumper he needs it to look better
Vermont plates... probably no title
Crazy cool 👍👍. Great video, I'll sub ya!
Thank you!!!
I’m assuming that this is the awd Escalade if so this is an amazing build
No longer awd , it has a straight axle in the front and 2 transfer cases 4x4 now
make a kit, take my money
Consider it a deal 😂🤘
@@TrailBuilt say when.
So, the only thing Escalade is the body...
Body, frame, and driveline. Just some custom suspension work and a couple of tough axles. Front end is some work, rear is easier.
Looks like R N w Trash
