A long shot

Did you have to do a thickened edge for your concrete or footings?

I'm a 4x4

Can I do the same for my 2022 colorado

What company did you use for the building? Did they also do the concrete? Also what state are you in?

Really cool music! I'm so jealous. You are so lucky to live somewhere where there is no snow and no wind to speak of.

im cumming so much its insane

For those who didn’t catch it, he said “8 turns on both sides”. 4:40

How many turns did you do each side?

Can you leave a link to the ones you purchased?

The key to getting the drawers out is using two hack saw blades

Nice video mate just given me motivation and ideas to do mine cheers all the way from Australia

What does the bottom door hinge on? I have a similar box and the door doesn't have the pin thing anymore and the hole is just a 1/2" or so wide square all the way through. I'd assume some sort of dowel but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, great video.

Just picked up an 05 regular cab thanks for sharing

how is that holding up

This dude can not paint

I'm under my 2012 Colorado right now. And I can't find that torsion key anywhere. Mines RWD. is yours 4x4?

i restored a craftsman chest/cabinet upper and lower nowhere near this bad - a little rust in a couple drawers and outer cabinet - sanded it off primered and spray painted with i think the rustoleum sunrise red and a black for the black parts... Could not believe how long the red paint took to dry compared to primer or black - both dry to touch within 30 min vs 2+ days for the red. You spent a lot of time and money to restore toolboxes that one could pick up in good/excellent condition for as little as 100 depending on series. Great to fix rather than replace but at some point you have to ask yourself if it makes financial sense and if the amount of time you spent is worth it. I probably spent about 2 hours and 20 bucks in paint to clean up mine - which i wanted to use them inside my house

If I want to lower do I need to do anything besides loosen the key? I saw someone post that you need spacers between the front differential and frame to lower it.

Does the truck have to be jacked up off the ground

Why didn't you show as you're turning it and doing it to make it do that

Are you able to give me a link or something to look up to find those exact ones?

Brasso and an old t-shirt works great for taking rust off anything chrome. I use it on old 10 speed bicycles all of the time and get a great shine without scracthing.

Would I need a jack again if I want to lower it back? I moved cities so I don’t have my equipment

I can’t figure out how to get the top tool box off of the base and you skipped that part 😫 I can’t find any bolts, but it’s definitely secured on there. I’m trying to get this thing in my car to move it.

No way! I just picked this same exact box up the other day. Any tips on cleaning, oiling the drawer slides themselves?

It’s probably a good thing you didn’t use the silicone oil spray…because it can cause your paint to fish eye…big problem to correct

Pressure washing first would have been best so the rat urine and poo couuld be captured by the water spray and washed away

mine has the same runners as yours, I'm planning on using graphite oil fo trh runners and keeping a can inside for oiling as needed. Will spray Lithium greasue into the wheel ball bearings. Great idea on the clearcoat.

Thanks for this, just purchased one of these, that was purchased in Alabama in 1990 and then shipped to UK (owners moved back to UK)

Paint it again

Anyone know where I could order two drawers for my craftsman tool chest? Got it from my father law and looking to refurbish it

My boxes had the clips to take the drawers out.

Some toolboxes I gave my son about 20 years ago, but I had painted them black. And I had bought them brand new still in good shape.

great job bro!

Did your alignment get messed up ?

Это ISUZU-D max.

I usually don't comment but I need to. 1. NEVER sand or grind any dirty metal surface. Wash it. Several times. Otherwise, you are grinding impurities into the metal. You'll get fisheyes and the paint will fail at some point. You should wash it, then grind it, then wash again, then sand with 600 grit to give the paint "tooth." Wash again. THEN wax and grease remover (or acetone) . Then tack rag. Then paint. 2. Mouse droppings are hazardous. You shouldn't be power washing that crap without eye protection, wearing sandals or wearing shorts. 3. NEVER spay bomb in direct sunlight or on a windy day. You'll use a ton of paint, you'll get orange peel and your paint will flash very quickly and you'll get "tiger stripes" which is exactly what your finish is.

I’d have disassembled it completely and used broader strokes to avoid the tiger stripes in the paint, but it’s clean and being used so I can’t complain.

what di you use to paint the grille and how has it held up?

Only for 4wd that’s no coil springs my Colorado 2004 2wd is totally different

Thank you buddy really appreciate it nice video everybody can put the tires do the best body

A buddy of mine gifted me his old setup similar to this one in black. Just the video I needed.

For anyone trying to restore these Craftsman tool chests/boxes, the Rustoleum Sunrise Red is a near perfect match to the original. For boxes that have the dark grey color on the drawers use Rustoleum Black Stainless paint. Don't let the word "black" fool you. It's a nice dark grey color. Trust me you will be happy with results.

My dad left one of these in storage when he died but it's missing a few drawers . He didn't get to go back and get them before he died and my brother has gotten rid of them. Are there replacement drawers that I could buy or anything? I'd love to give it to my son.

Looks good. I almost wonder if it would have been better to clean it up and leave the factory powder coat / paint on and just sand/paint the insides of the drawers. Unless there was rust on the outside too

Looks horrible. Can still see the primer on the "finished" product.

I really like the lawn mower ASMR when he's priming the bottom part

Not a bad video except for that ugly guy without any math skills.

This is awesome , can this be done on any Colorado ?I have a 08 LT
