This is the most underrated comment ever posted on a overland video! People lose the fact of what's needed and what's wanted and what's more important. I'd rather stay simple and hit more trails then do to much and hardly get out thinking I'm never ready.
Casey, I don't comment too often, but this was fantastic. Great way to honor your grandfather. I'm sure he's smiling down on you as you adventure. Not to mention, nice truck!!!
Thank you. I”m glad you did decide to drop a comment. I think you’re right. He would be pretty happy with what his old truck looks like now. He would be pleased that it’s not too overdone. Cheers!
Lo Lo Overland is some good dudes. Never met them myself, but I've heard nothing but great words about them. RIP to your Grandpa, beautiful part is he still lives through you. 🇺🇸
That's a great looking truck for being that aged. I had a 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 that I ended up putting 300k miles on and absolutely loved it. I then got a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited, and 2 years later, went back to a 2016 Z71. Great choice! Glad you're keeping your Grandpa's legacy alive! He's looking down from heaven, smiling, I'm sure :)
The same reason Ill be working on a similar 01 , my wife’s grandfather passed and we decided wed try to buy it. He gave her a love for the outdoors, its nice to get it back in good shape
Nothing better than having things belonging to grandparents!!!! I'm sure he's looking down, enjoying what you did to his truck!!!! Look forward to seeing this build Casey.... Still the best channel in my opinion on RUclips. Stay safe my friend.
this is awesome, I recently bought a 2004 GMC Sierra that I've been slowly building out to an overland/adventure rig. I also went with the Softopper so I'm excited to see how this will turn out long term. Cool to see people re-purposing used vehicles rather than spending a fortune buying something new.
I think you feel that way because he actually is sitting there right beside you..I really believe that to be true. You are leaving him a great legacy with your respect for him.
No doubt that your grandpas spirit will be with you on all the adventures that you take this rig on! love the videos and have been watching since the days of the xterra.
Excellent build! May the great memories of your grandfather live on forever. What an excellent project. Bravo!!! Time for an adventure!!! Coyote Works Rocks!!!
Looking good. Love what they did to your coyote logo. Can hardly wait to see where you go on your first trip in your grandpa's truck now your truck. Be safe and God Bless. Out.
Awesome build, read every comment, I appreciate the easy mods anyone can do without breaking the bank. And those older trucks are bullet proof. Thank you and keep us posted on its performance.
4th? Never been in this early! Great story behind the truck. I'm sure he'd be really glad to see you getting the use out of it and taking his memory on down the road with you.
WOW, TWO HUMANS TOUCHED EACH OTHER. I'm dreaming of the freedom day that everyone throws down the face diapers and in tears of love and gratitude turn to the nearest human and hug them. Fear controls, knowledge fees us.
It looks amazing Casey. Your grandpa would be so proud. I can’t wait to see this truck on the road and the adventures that you have in it. Great job to Lolo. Cheers my friend you did good kid lol
Damn, what a transformation! Perfect for how you are planning to use it. A great example to show folks they do not need a new Power Wagon or Tremor to get out and explore the back country. Gotta say I really like the updated logo as well!
I have the same sierra that I’ve spent some time building up as a road trip vehicle. Did a weeklong 2000 mile trip back in may. I plan to spend this winter building her up even more so I can do more trips in the spring and summer of 2023
I will for sure. I’m working on the video of my first overland/camping trip in it right now. After this i tidal trip I’ll make some adjustments to the load out and then I’ll do a video going over that. Cheers!
That came out looking pretty good. The plasti dip really made the front end look great. I like how it this build wasn't over the top, like you said its not a new rig, but your still inspiring others to get out and explore with what they may have. What a great way to keep your grandfathers spirit alive casey
Thank you my friend. That’s exactly what I was hoping for. It’s not a crazy high end truck and build for sure. But more than adequate for some awesome adventures!
I’ve just inherited a 2003 Silverado Z71 that belonged to my wife’s grandfather I plan to get that truck back into fighting form just as you have. It’s a very nice thing you’ve done for that truck.
What a fantastic job Lol Overland did to your Grandpa's truck. 🤗👍 The decals and the special touches where so spot on perfect especially them adding your Grandpa's name to the Coyote Works Out on the back. The hood decal is so cool. Enjoy your travels, you will love Nevada and especially Utah. The beauty and the variety of the terrain in UT is breathtaking, one of my favorite states to be in. 🥰 Can't wait to see your journey!!! 😄👍
Had a 2000 Chevy Silverado same color and size that I had for 16 years. I loved that truck. It was very reliable except for eating power window motors and the rusted brake lines from being to big to park in my garage. Make sure you get those brake lines checked. Living here in Ohio that was bound to happen with all the snow and salt. Sold it to a friend of mine and it had around 145,000 miles on it and he is still driving it to this day. Also it helped that after having my brake lines replaced. I had them replace all the rubber hoses to the brakes with braided lines, it was worth the money .
Thanks for the tips on the brake lines. And good to hear you got so much good life out of that truck. I”m sitting a little over 100K on mine and hoping to get a few more years at least before I have to do a motor swap. Cheers!
I have my great grandfathers 1990 Ford Ranger, it's my every day drive. Planning on fixing it up and having a little adventure with it. 1000 + miles trip, fingers crossed it can make it!
Awesome, my truck is 28 years old and we take it everywhere with our pop up truck camper. We drove it to Alaska a couple years ago, it sure is nice to still be able to work on something if you need to.
Great video. I'm doing something similar with my grandfathers truck, which coincidentally is a 98 K1500. Researching that is what led me here, and now I feel that's a sign.
I had a 99 Chevy almost the same truck I bought it new and drove it to 284k miles lots of memories with my girlfriend now wife with camping and long road trips which you can’t beat the comfort. We both now have heavily modified JKUs but still miss the truck and it’s comfort
My "newest" truck is a 2000 Z71 ext cab. I've owner newer trucks but I love the old GMT-400 and GMT-800 trucks. In my opinion the GMT-800 trucks with the LS based V8's are the best trucks ever made.
so clean .. perfect! nice new toy to play with, your grandpa will be happy about it, i mean, the way you will use this like tripping around the country, exploring and living your life. thumbs up from Italy, CW out!
this is great simple , effective, and the big part is its affordable ! like the big dollar builds don't get me wrong they cool to look at but it nice to see videos of upgrades that we can all do thumbs up.
Yeah totally agree. It doesn’t take a lot to make a rig a bit cooler looking and increase its’ capability. A little can go a long ways. Nothing we did to the truck is really that expensive. But it all came together really nice and I’m really happy with the function. Cheers!
PRETTY COOL 😎 ! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MINE . 1999 F 150 XLT 4.6 L 4×4 / 262650 MILES . SHE'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT YOUNG LADY FOR ME ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DID WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER'S TRUCK ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED ! WATCHOUT FOR THE BLACK 🧊 DRIVING 🚗& WALKING 🚶♂️ 🙏 TOO !
Grandpa’s truck with some of Casey’s sweet touches looks amazing! Your grandpa would be very happy with the changes and that his grandson got it back on the road. My grandpa had a old orchard Jeep (1942 Willy’s) I wish I still had it! 🍒 I’m excited to see the first overland in grandpa’s truck, ya best get goin’! 😁 God Bless!
I have a lot of experience in wheeling a vehicle like this and have a couple things I’d still do. You’ll be surprised how much a locker will be needed. I spend a week in Death Valley every year in a tacoma and have used the rear locker a ton. One more thing is take out the front sway bar. It will feel tippy at first but you’ll get used to it. It will really help that truck out in the bumps. Trucks get stuck so much easier than your jeep would. Be super careful without rock sliders too. You will wreck your rear bumper before long too.
Appreciate the tips. Yeah it’s definitely not going to have the capability that my Jeep does but I am going to try to stay off the really extreme trails with it. I’ll keep my Jeep for that stuff mostly. Cheers!
It seems to me Vern was the inspiration for your love of exploring the out doors, hunting and firearms. !the truck was barely run in at 104,000 miles. In very good condition and your mates did you proud at the Auto Shop. Can't wait to see you take this special vehicle out in the snow for some camping and trails. Safe travel Casey.
It's amazing how good a stock truck can be off-road, just with the right tries. One thing I like about your truck is, it's not overdone.
Thank you. Yeah I’m not into really building them. Basically I like to do as little as possible to make them a little more off road capable. Cheers!
Definitely a perfect build that didn't go over board. It's all you need for overlanding 👍
For sure. It should give me a lot of miles of adventure just like it is! Cheers!
This is the most underrated comment ever posted on a overland video!

About to build my 93 Z-71
Casey, I don't comment too often, but this was fantastic. Great way to honor your grandfather. I'm sure he's smiling down on you as you adventure. Not to mention, nice truck!!!
Thank you. I”m glad you did decide to drop a comment. I think you’re right. He would be pretty happy with what his old truck looks like now. He would be pleased that it’s not too overdone. Cheers!
Theirs something about an old truck that just feels right. Nice job Lolo. Looking forward to Grandpas truck adventures.
Man I agree. Your truck is looking bad ass too!
I love that they put your grandpa's name on the truck. Respect!
Me too. That is such a cool touch.
nice job granpa would be smiling knowing your looking after his truck
Thank you. I think he would.
Lo Lo Overland is some good dudes. Never met them myself, but I've heard nothing but great words about them.
RIP to your Grandpa, beautiful part is he still lives through you.
🇺🇸
Wow!!!! What an amazing build and tribute to your grandfather. He would be extremely proud of what you created.
That's a great looking truck for being that aged. I had a 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 that I ended up putting 300k miles on and absolutely loved it.

Absolutely beautiful and what a wonderful tribute to your grandfather!!
Thank you. Yes I couldn’t be happier!
The same reason Ill be working on a similar 01 , my wife’s grandfather passed and we decided wed try to buy it. He gave her a love for the outdoors, its nice to get it back in good shape
Oh my, the tires and wheels! Lolo did great!!!!
Nothing better than having things belonging to grandparents!!!! I'm sure he's looking down, enjoying what you did to his truck!!!! Look forward to seeing this build Casey.... Still the best channel in my opinion on RUclips. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you my friend! Really appreciate hearing that! Yeah I couldn’t be happier to be using a hand me down truck of my Grandpa’s!
I'm sure your grandpa would love what you did to that thing. Awesome truck!
I think he would. Cheers!
That generation of GM truck go forever and ever. Super reliable.
You have Amazing Friends at LoLo
Congratulations on a beautiful truck.
Thanks Grandpa
Thank you. Yes they are a great bunch of friends for sure! Couldn’t ask for better people.
I think you did grandpa proud!
Thank you. I think so!

Thank you my friend. I’m really enjoying getting some use out of it too. Cheers!
Seeing more and more people do overland builds on the gmt 800 platform is why I love to keep making videos on mine. Nice build sir!
Just subbed to your channel also. I'll check out your videos later today 👍
Awesome build, read every comment, I appreciate the easy mods anyone can do without breaking the bank. And those older trucks are bullet proof. Thank you and keep us posted on its performance.
What a great way to pay respect to the memory of your grandfather. Good stuff.
Thanks Jon! Always appreciate you my friend!
4th? Never been in this early!
Great story behind the truck. I'm sure he'd be really glad to see you getting the use out of it and taking his memory on down the road with you.
Nice work my friend! Thank you.
Glad you kept your grandpas truck, cool piece to remember him by 🤟
My rigs 48 years old and my grandfather gave it to me as a graduation present.
I have the same truck except mine is a 2000 model. I bought it to fix up like this one. Lots of great ideas from this video.
Great story, great build, great people. Thanks for putting this up, man. Good news for bad times.
For sure my friend. I’m really happy with how it came out. Worked out great on it’s first back country camping trip too. Cheers!
Absolutely perfect! What a wonderful way to honor your grandfather. I'll bet it's itchin' for a trip to Alaska...
I agree. Really happy with how it turned out and really happy to be doing some adventures with a part of my Grandpa with me. Cheers
WOW, TWO HUMANS TOUCHED EACH OTHER. I'm dreaming of the freedom day that everyone throws down the face diapers and in tears of love and gratitude turn to the nearest human and hug them. Fear controls, knowledge fees us.
Awesome. Tasteful build. I had an 04 long-bed Silverado. Camping in the back was like an RV - bed, tables, cook in there. It was the bomb
Oh yeah I bet that was a great set up! Cheers!
It looks amazing Casey. Your grandpa would be so proud. I can’t wait to see this truck on the road and the adventures that you have in it. Great job to Lolo. Cheers my friend you did good kid lol
Thanks Jaquui! I think he would be! Cheers!
Very cool, nice memories of your grandfather.
Thank you. For sure.
Damn, what a transformation!
Perfect for how you are planning to use it. A great example to show folks they do not need a new Power Wagon or Tremor to get out and explore the back country.
Gotta say I really like the updated logo as well!
Thank you. Appreciate hearing that. Yeah Daniel did awesome with that logo!
I have the same sierra that I’ve spent some time building up as a road trip vehicle. Did a weeklong 2000 mile trip back in may. I plan to spend this winter building her up even more so I can do more trips in the spring and summer of 2023
I hope you do more follow up videos on gear ratio, lockers/limited slips, engine and upgrades, bedding and storage,etc. cool series.
I will for sure. I’m working on the video of my first overland/camping trip in it right now. After this i tidal trip I’ll make some adjustments to the load out and then I’ll do a video going over that. Cheers!
Gramps would be proud! The upgrade is outstanding.
Thank you. Really happy with how it came out!

Oh wow, stickers and light bulbs.....cool.
Grandpa’s are the best looks good great adventures ahead great memories for life 👍👍as always be safe
For sure. Thank you my friend!
Wow beautiful! It’s amazing how some simple mods can make a big difference. Grandpa would be really proud.
Very cool to repurpose an heirloom into a really special build. Enjoy it!
Thank you my friend!
I have the same truck. 1999 Silverado Z71 same color also. Got it from a retired army colonel. 250k still going strong.
Yep. It’s a solid old truck! I just am finishing uploading a video of my first back country camping trip in it. Cheers!
Love changing the fake chrome. Black looks great.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm like hell yeah!
Ha! Awesome!
Excellent build, Casey! My old Ford is 20 but serves me well, hopefully this rig will do the same and can't wait for the future vids with this beast.
Thanks my friend. Good to hear from someone else running an older rig!

Nice...I'm sure grandpa is proud of the new look! Driving around up there looks super familiar...yup yup 🤠🏕👍
I think he would be!
Wow! The transformation of your grandpa’s truck is tremendous. Show more of what is in the bed under the cover.
I will for sure!.

Just found this video. I am also building my grandpas truck into a overland rig. It’s even same color as yours. Glad to see someone else doing it too!
Vern would be proud!
I think he would!
I have my great grandfathers 1990 Ford Ranger, it's my every day drive. Planning on fixing it up and having a little adventure with it. 1000 + miles trip, fingers crossed it can make it!
That is one sick mullet!

For sure!
They did an awesome job on that truck good looking!!!

Thank you my friend! Appreciate it!

Thank you. I’m really looking forward to having some adventures in it!
I am with you buddy with my 96 burb 😊
Awesome! That’s a great rig!
Casey, that truck is awesome! What a great way to commemorate your grandfather and have all new adventures!!
Awesome, my truck is 28 years old and we take it everywhere with our pop up truck camper. We drove it to Alaska a couple years ago, it sure is nice to still be able to work on something if you need to.

I think so my friend!
Beautiful
Tasteful
Practical
Perfect in my book. The softopper is a perfect addition.
Thank you my friend. Those are all the things I like in a rig. Cheers!

Will definitely continue to follow your adventures and this truck on your channel. 👍🏼🇺🇸

My grandpa had a old orchard Jeep (1942 Willy’s) I wish I still had it! 🍒
I’m excited to see the first overland in grandpa’s truck, ya best get goin’! 😁
God Bless!
wow fancy new truck
Ha! Right!
One last thing. Grab some type of old school push bumper bull bar for the front. Maybe some yellow KC fog lights on it.
That would be awesome! That’s what Josh was telling me over at Lolo that I should do next. Cheers!
By far the best model of truck GM ever made. Get a trans cooler, fan and thermostat. Slow rolling builds up some heat in the fluid.
For sure. Should be pretty reliable and get me a few more years out of that motor and tranny. Cheers!
happy trails Casey..just like having your grandpa with you
Nice build way to honor gramps
Thank you. Pretty happy about it!
Thanks again,
For sure my friend!
Excited for the episode brother.
Thanks my friend! Hope you enjoy!
I did as always.
Love what you did to GrandPa's Truck, should give you years of Service, I know you will take good care of it...
Softopper - my next investment for my Z71.
They are definitely worth the money!
Let us know and we’ll get one for ya!
@@Camplolo_ Thanks! Just sent an email :)
@@Camplolo_ email me backs! I need a softopper soon!
Love full size truck builds! It turned out great! Look forward to seeing you get it out on adventure!
