- 2021 Chevy Colorado Overland Build on 37's. There's so much more to mention about the build. I will be working on a video of the costs involved in the build. Keep your eyes out for a thumbnail with a briefcase full of cash lol.

By far one of the best trucks I’ve seen. I can’t get enough of it! It’s a beautiful build!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate positive feedback back. It really came together well!
What a beauty of a truck. I’ve never seen a customized Colorado before and yours is definitely an eye catcher. I appreciate what you were able to make of this beast
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. It’s been a fun build and a nice truck to drive. I’m very happy.
That is the nicest colorado build ive seen ..and i havent seen 37s on one before wither. Great work bro. Makes me rethink the colrado platform
Thanks a lot man. I really appreciate it. It was a lot of work doing the transformation, but it is definitely everything I could ever need and want. Thank you again.
My grandmother wraps her seats in plastic covers. So i get what you're saying about protecting your seats, to each their own. With that said, I do like 95% of your of your build.
I sure wish the ZR2 came long bed + crew cab! I'm gonna have to make peace with a short bed, because the DSSVs and crew cab are a must for me. Maybe I can find a mattress that allows me to lay diagonally in the bed when camping. 😂
@@davidsteinhour5562 yeah I’ve seen someone extent their frame to make it a long box zr2, but what a nightmare lol. Just get a off-road camp trailer or something 🤙🏻 scout makes midsize camper “yoho” or something
Beautiful truck man.. New fan here! I have the long bed z71 as well and absolutely love my truck.. Too many haters on youtube.. Looks great👍 Merry Christmas to you!
Dude, thanks a lot. Yeah, lots of angry people out there. Have an awesome day!
Wow that's a lot of work for a year of having the truck, definitely a dream build. Just had a Zone offroad 5.5 lift installed on my colorado combined with my Icon stage 3 suspension. Time for big tires
I heard zone is good quality, same with icon products. You should have a similar ride height. That will be really fun for exploring.
Nice truck man, love the z71 over the Zr2 for the long bed .
The long box doesn’t seem much bigger, 12”, but makes a big difference when actually hauling stuff in the bed for sure.
Sweet rig bro! I’m from bend 25 years local. Own Bend Pest Control with my dad there. Great truck for Oregon life!
Thank you very much. Yeah, it definitely fits the Oregon lifestyle. High desert trips for sure.
Very clean build! Thanks for sharing details, been dreaming about that diesel ;)
Thank you so much. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video!
AWESOME BUILD BROTHER! Cant wait for your next overland addition build for this truck.
Thanks man. I can’t wait either. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
That is a perfect truck sir. Currently looking at the 24 Bison
Thank you. Those new ones look insanely cool. That suspension 👌🏻
Witched build bro!! Buying mine tomorrow!
really nice build. the step popping out is cool, but you don't have rock sliders, but I doubt you would need them you don't seem like the type of guy that would tear his truck up anyway. I like to have a capable build, but I don't do the crazy stuff in it, I like to keep it looking good. I have a 21 zr2 . I have done a little to it. a small lift, larger tires, and the factory performance ball spline half shafts. I will keep it for 20 yrs. or more. I believe this body style will become more in demand as people realize the new Colorado body they are building now don't have the Baja body lines. your truck sets and looks really good. you should be proud if it.
Thank you for your story and your truck info. I think they will to. It will be a classic truck. You’re right. I like camping and exploring, but I won’t beat it. It’s my trophy. I don’t care who gives me a hard time lol, I won’t beat it. I think mine will stay with me a while. Only reason I would sell is if someone really wanted it and had deep pockets. But most won’t put this kind of money in a midsize truck. You don’t get your money back usually.
GREAT truck GREAT build I love this truck!!! I have a 2016 Z71 longbox 4x4 and was wondering if I can also do the AEV highmark fenders?
Thank you. I’m not sure. Mines a long box. But I’m not sure if the bed is the same. You might call AEV.
This video was awesome very nice build
Thank you. I hope to make another one regarding towing over 1,400 miles here soon.
You didn't have to use spacers or do any modifying to fit the 17s with the BDS kit? Waiting on my kit. They suggest 20s. If i can stay with my 17s, definitely getting that baja kit sooner. Thanks for showing me this setup works. Clean build.
Nope. You just need the right offset. Look up bds kits wheel specs. I did a small spacer in the rear to match the front wider stance. But like 1.5” or something. Thanks for watching my video 👌🏻. Good luck with your build dude!
That flannel and beard SCREAMS #overlandbeast 😂😂😂
Haha thanks Nick. The transformation is almost complete lol.
Its really good man.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Looks great! I got a 21 z71 midnight with 2 inch lift. I'm not sold on the 23 model except the trail boss but I'd be giving up to many little things to switch over.
Thanks! I was looking at the midnight edition originally. Looks super good, but I’ve owned lots of black in the past and I wanted to try a new color. Yeah the new ones are cool. But, I’m still a fan of this body style.
@@nathanielegbert this is my first black vehicle and my last lol. Way to much work to keep it looking good .
@@dougwarren5471 hahaha yeah. But when they look good… they look good.
Congrats bro 👏
Thank you 🤙🏻
Sweet build 👍. Do you know what model the canopy is from leer? I haven't seen a utility version without the side boxes and lines with carpet. Very cool thanks for the vid
Hey thanks a lot for the compliment. I’m not entirely sure. What I do know is the person who bought it originally had custom ordered these specs based on their utility base model. So the carpet, windows, and I think the side door were add ons. I snagged it from Craigslist for $800. It’s been really useful in the winters and for travel.
Hey bud! Sweet build. I don’t understand the delete though 😢 I have been running mine since 2016 with zero issues. Also, a tip on protecting your back seats, I lay the back rest down. It provides a completely flat surface for loading and unloading; plus the back of the back rest uses the same carpet as the floor. This also provides better vision while looking out of the back window. I hope to see some cool adventure videos in the future. Cheers 🍻
Delete is the way to go. You are a lucky one who hasn’t had issues with DEF on your 2016. It’s not fun when the injector goes bad, or the pump freezes up due to the temps. Being a few hundred miles from home and you get the message “71 miles until your speed is reduced to 65mph”. Then after the 71 miles is up it says “71 miles until speed is reduced to 55 mph”.
Your truck is beautiful thanks for the review looking to buy the diesel either Colorado or Canyon with the longer bed your teuck is the exact same truck I want minus the big lift and tires I dont need all that maybe just 33x12.5 good for me I appreciate the video.
You may know this already but on my 2018 Zr2 in order to engage the front lockers you have to put it in 4-low
No I didn’t know that. Thank you. I’ll give that a try. But since it’s aftermarket and aftermarket wiring, it may not matter since it’s not running through the trucks computer.
Check out the extended cab version
Did you do a regear for you axles to handle the 37" tires? Or just have the stock 4.?? gesring?
I upgraded to 4:56 with the 37’s from nitro gears. I think they are the only ones that do that ratio for the Colorados.
Just curious what's your mpg on 37's?
I get around 19 in city, and 22-25 freeway depending on the speed.
What programmer did you use to recalibrate for tire size on a diesel this new?
Or was it just close because you re-geared?
It’s close enough for me with the regear. I know duramaxtuner has a really good one for Colorados. I don’t believe their tuner will work with the tuning I have on mine.
nice truck
Thanks man. I really appreciate it. And thank you for watching the video.
Very nice truck .can you share the link to the taillights please ?
if you go to amazon and type in Colorado tail lights. They should pop right up.
Love the truck man👍
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
@@nathanielegbert you making me want to trade in my v6 canyon for one😬
@@abramlionel4990 haha I love diesels. I know the new platform coming out has more power and torque than the diesels. But I just love the diesels.
did u remove your sway bar?
You should get a stainless steel snorkel for it
How's the mpg with the 37's
What, what mpg is he getting on the 37’s??
Bought 2019 zr2 with 37 tires
what is wrong with the front locker setup? I just got the parts for mine but have not installed it yet
I’m not sure yet. I believe it’s the wiring harness. I have been so busy lately, I haven’t had the chance to investigate.
Bro can you shared the links for every since products you used on your truck and thank you
Oh man. That would take so long lol. I have the follow up cost break down video of every product I put on the truck. With the product name and price. All the products are easily googleable. 🤙🏻
@@nathanielegbert make more video of this bro I loved it is a beautiful truck are you getting the new Colorado? I own the 1st gen and a zr2 I bought second hand in FL for 28k but the new Colorado are so pricey
What Baja kit are you referring to? ❤
Baja kit is a company that manufactures a prerunner kit for the Colorado. They are stronger and wider. I got those upper and lower arms from them.
How is it on a long 10 hr drive on highway?
Only downside are the seats. After hour six, they start to make my butt fall asleep and my low back hurt. I would be interested to know how the new model year seats are. And if I can swap them?
What is the paint color?
It’s their graphite grey I believe. The Colorado is a 2021. It’s they grey they produced that year.
did you regear for the 37?
Yes sir. I did the nitro 4:56 gears. Work like a charm.
Someone tell me why he ain’t talking about the exhaust…no muffler or something?
Vin will still say Z71 so dont call it a zr2
😂
Like to send a pick of my 2019
How do you like the amp steps?
I love them. I’ve dreamed of owning them since I first saw them in the early 2000’s. Funny how we hang on to things like that. I swapped out their lights with brighter more pure white ones. Only upgrade I’d recommend.
@@nathanielegbert I have a 2017 canyon Denali Duramax with the factory steps but they are too high. These might be the ticket since they would be lower.
@@tallyman15 yeah they drop to a perfect level. They don’t double as rock sliders though. I’m not sure what you may be doing with the truck. But the amp steps are more for convenience 🤙🏻
Nice truck man 👍
Thank you. And thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
@@nathanielegbert I just came across your video and now you have a new subscriber lol ,can't wait to see more content 👍
@@TheWarriorz90 that’s awesome. I will try not to disappoint!
how much did you spend???
Pretty close to $100k total, but that includes the truck itself.
I whent coyote conversion I think u might be in trouble boss
All those upgrades and you didn’t change the dash from that ugly blue that sticks out
Ok who came up with that damn over used phrase OVERLANDING
Why didn't you just buy a full size. That's just flaunting your $. I bought Zr2 and wouldn't give it up for anything.
I’ve had full size diesels and I like them a lot. But, it wasn’t right for me. I like going on trails and be in the snow. The big trucks sink a no other. Plus they are much wider. The Colorados are awesome for daily driving and parking down town and grocery stores. I wanted the zR2 bison, but I wanted the long box when I have kids and haul bikes and gear. So I got the z71 crew cab long box. I spent a few years saving and building it. I guess it could be seen as flaunting, but I’m proud of the end result and the endless amount of hours I put in at work to afford it. I wish I could say im a baller lol. But the truth is, I have an awesome wife and we both worked for a couple of years for a fun exploration rig. At one point we worked 6 months for 6 days a week, 12 hours a day.
@nathanielegbert that's how my wife and I get good things out of life. I get the long box thing but I bought a small utility trailer to cover hauling
Man if I put that much time and effort into a build I'd flaunt it as well, Thats an awesome colorado build. cuious if you installed the BDS lift yourself and if so how user friendly was it? I have no interest in 37's but I'd love to get at least 33's under mine before next summer and am looking at the BDS 5.5 kit for mine.@@nathanielegbert
@@daydream19681 thank you for your support. I didn’t install it. We work on the road and I have very limited tools with me. I found an awesome shop who was able to let me be involved and film the build too. It wasn’t too hard, but a shop lift definitely made quick work of it. The issue we had is the coilover kit. The coils spring rate wasn’t strong enough. I had to try a couple of different spring rates. Not sure why. Maybe because the bumper, winch, and Diesel engine.
@@nathanielegbert hey that’s a great point and I’m glad you brought that up as I’ve already purchased a Warn 8000 lb winch and plan on incorporating a winch bumper in the process. I too looked at the AEV Bison Bumper but $2700 is too much for a bumper that I could be using towards the lift or wheels. I know somewhere on this thread you mentioned switching gear ratios for the 37’s which I would have to do if I went to a 35 over a 33 KO2 but did you have to have shift points reprogrammed. I’m very interested in your tune but understand that you cannot broadcast over a media platform
Cloth interior basic truck. Must of spent double what it’s worth and all that money is lost. Could of had a raptor for this kind of money
Seat covers to protect the leather underneath. Raptors are overrated. Find something you’re passionate about and make it your own, rather than trying to shit on someone else’s rig. Cheers.
I put cloth over the leather interior as well just to protect the original material from my clothing ( machinist by trade)@@nathanielegbert
Safe to say you will never go off road with that unit
