Just bought the same truck man I’m 20 yrs old and this shit is awesome
Most fiberglass hood manufacturers state, "dont use stock hood shocks: due to them holding up a heavy steel one" thus they go hood pin hood latches. I like the hood pin idea as a style but the lockable latch would be best so no one can just pop your hood and mess with your engine bay.
The stock hood latch is still there. So you must pull the thing under the steering wheel to unlatch it.
1:29 scared the crap out of me, i thought that was your hood. Lol.
Welcome to MO, the Ozarks are beautiful, it looks like you had a nice time, I’m just a little north right outside of Springfield.
I did this same job on a 1970 Z28 for an L88 fiberglass hood. It was the straight chrome pins with the large push thru clips and worked great. The fun fact is it was 50 years ago this month. We are glad to see Modifying is still strong. Thank You.
Those hood pins look good but wait until they freeze solid and you need to add washer fluid.
Saw the PaxPower clip. I can say from experience that they do good work! Those hood latches are dope. As always, Great content man!
Glad to see the trail boss again!
Hey man I been a fan since day 1, I always worked on my truck and always seems to break 1 thing as I fix 2 things, love the videos keep up the great work!
Looking forward to new build! Keep the vids coming!
I understand the fear of hood popping at high speed. My Mustang with Stock Hood did the same thing at 120mph and up. So I added hood latches, problem solved. I really like that hood on your truck and can't wait to see the widebody kit. Keep up the amazing work.
definitely good to know when switching to an aftermarket hood.
🤙 Love your content my man. If interested, another mod to have is a sumoprings on the rear. It’s great when towing, more cushion, keeps your leveled truck leveled better (or lifted). I love it on my 2020 gmc sierra 1500. Just something to look at. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely LOVE Branson! We were just there in early October!
Had this same issue. I was planning on doing the hood pins but I wanted the cleaner “OEM” look. I just added metal plates that went next to the hood latch to give it a batter base for the latch. The hood latch metal plate is literally like a 3x3 piece of metal.
Great work on that. Makes me want to do the same when I get a better hood.
There’s a bunch of cool stuff in Branson. Truck is lookin 🔥
Had the same issue 20yrs ago. At the time the only solution was the tall circle hood pins with a clevis/lynch pin unless they were glassed with side hood latches that attach to the fenders
Awesome truck, awesome video.
You were in my neck of the woods im over by West Plains Mo. Home of Country singer Porter Waggoner, love the videos and love the trucks, stop by next time
Yall were near me, should have came to the Official store of Bass Pro Shops! Next time you’re in the Springfield Missouri area holler at me I will show you around!
I went with all OEM name tags....black is the best!!!
I think your setup is good.... u need more power now
Not a big deal but I would probably put a bead of silicone on each of those hood pins just to cut down on water leaking in.
I bought the same hood for my 2012 and was so disappointed when I unboxed it. However, after watching the videos you made on how to mod this hood… my youngest son and I are going to take the same steps and hopefully get it out of my shed and on to my/his truck!
I started watching your channel when I saw the eve of your house about to fall off and I still don’t know how you don’t have millions of followers on here your content is great
Heck yeah🎉
Dude! I would have bet money you were sitting next to me at arrowhead stadium for the bengals game! Even asked the guy to make sure lol! Cant wait for the next shop video! I love to DIY almost everything!
Hahaha Raptor killer! Good one.
Racecar parts is usually always the answer
Very cool.
A lot of the time the original engines and mount points were removed to make ungodly or godly engines , turbos and superchargers fit. These pins are the only option we have a lot of times. Eventually you’ll just ditch the hinges altogether. Nothing like working on an engine without a hood blocking light and looking over your head.
You used the words suck,bang and blow in your ad read 😂😂💀
My Paxpower Jackal had that exact hood with the same shaking issue! I got a quote for 2k to put the hood latches on so I said screw it and bought a trailboss hood and put a wrap on it. Looks great but I wish I had my hood back! Thing is now the wiper fluid nozzles are blocked by the trailboss hood!! Ughh
such a beautiful truck. put some time into detailing it and doing videos on it.
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/vCt5lWmHmcU/видео.htmlsi=J4I6HY66OeNs3iJG
Love your channel....I own a 2021Black Silverado RST Crew Cab. I have everything blacked out except the bowtie on front. I was thinking of blacking that out too. I also changed tire size from 18s to 22s. I love this truck but i do have a few more mods in mind. Keep up the great content👍
Black sharpie works great! Cheap too. Plenty of videos on the tube
plastidip
@@jimmywilson4809 plastic dip is for people that drink Bud Light! 🤣🤣🤣
The pins worked good.... That's awesome.....BUT,
They look BAD A$$ 🤘🤘
Nice job Brother.
Take care,
~Jinny5🥁
Did you guys go to Steal Your Dollar City? I bet the boys really enjoyed it. Branson is a lot like Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. A lot of the same money in those towns. Definitely more to do in the summertime as I’m sure you saw.
Hey brother! I love Mobil 1 oil also!!! But I noticed you're using 0W-20 which is water-thin. Have you thought about going 5W-30? My Durango SRT calls for 5W-20 and even that is watery. Also as you might know the HEMI is famous for the 'HEMI Tick," because not enough oil is getting splashed up to the upper areas of the engine but a thicker oil stays around longer - that's my main reason for a heavier oil, but I've never been a fan of thin oil. And I also love adding Liqui Moly CeraTech. PS. I can't stop modifying my baby which is good & bad. Cheers! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Neat project. What was in misery, er Missouri? I guess that would be another vlog.
That hood is like my 1991 Bronco hood. Gotta slam that baby 😂
hope you used loctite or better yet, nylon nuts on those red hood pins (threads) under your plates you made, so they do not vibrate out of adjustment.
Always wondered how those pins worked.
I feel like you should be contacting the manufacturer of this hood and selling this idea to them. All hoods should be shipped out this way.
I really enjoy your videos....Where can I purchase some of the Oshen colored vinyl?
Would love to put an exhaust on my truck, but I don’t want to announce to all the big game on the mountain that I’ve arrived 😂
Mo isn’t all bad 😂
If you want it to be a Raptor killer you better put a supercharger on it.
Get ride of that oil filter and use wix or k&n
I was wondering how long it would be until you mounted the hood pins.
👍
Hood pins might work well but the panel gap around the hood itself looks horrendous...
Nice truck!! What size tires/wheels are those?
I have 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 I had front end damage how do you pull the finders back forward so the doors open any help would be appreciated
So what tires are you running now and how are they holding up?
Where did you get your wheels?? Wondering if they have them in Gun Metal Grey?..
Man ,how long does it take to build a shed ?
So after test driving the various ZR2s do you wish you got the 6.2L?
Now you know you cant leave the pins Red.
I’ve got a 2109 RST w/ a 2” leveling kit with 285 GY on it. Love what you’ve done so far, but what are you getting in mpg? I’m averaging 16-18 mpg at this time. In your opinion and other viewers what would give me a lil more mpg? Cold air intake?
One thing people never consider is speed. Keep rpm’s low, do not exceed 70 on the freeway.
That truck looks nice but dont do the side panels wide body thing (in my opinion) cause it looks kinda weird and that trucks a beauty but at the same time i shouldnt be talking cause its ur truck at the end of the day. lol
Off topic but not totally. I did a 1.75” redylift level in my 22 at4 and it seems to have given me a small vibration noise over 50mph. I did have it aligned after and I still have the stocks wheels and tires. Is this normal?
You shouldn’t be hearing or feeling vibrations after the lift. It’s possible the noise is from your tires. I would double check your wheels are mounted flush and torqued to spec. You could also rotate the front to rear to see if the noise changes. If that doesn’t solve it it might be worth taking it back to the alignment shop to double check the alignment
Love you videos, however, Chevy has never been able to compete with Ford mechanically, electrically, torque, or HP to the wheels. notwithstanding, chevys lack of attention to historical failures with lighting, torque control motors, etc, etc, etc. fill in the blank
At least align the hood
Hopefully you kept your factory hood looked much better,to late for your fenders
Man check out them fender gaps.....
I like you show this is not personal but i guess it could be. These extra led lights should be illegal. Im so tired of being blinded by idiots on public streets. They needs to be a 5000.00 fine for any extra lights being on during driving. Plus there needs to be a fine and inforced for factory or replaced lights not aimed or brighter then legal limit 2000.00. It is very dangerous for people at night to run these lights. This has to stop.
You didn’t mod your truck you just stuck autozone quality crap on it
It's not the mods...its becuase its chevy. It's trash.
You’ve been saying raptor killer for two years now. How many raptors you’ve killed? Haha jk love the Chevy content
