Great vid man! Hard Work pays off! Glad you got your dream truck! U deserve it! Can’t wait to see what you got planned for years and years and years and years and years and years and years & years to come! Thanks for never giving up!
Just bought a 2004 silverado z71 1500. I average 17mpg with 200k, rebuilt trans, fuel pump, and several other things for $3800. Runs like a raped ape, can't wait to start the build
Loved this story, only thing I found funny is the "loaded down trailer". 3 days ago I towed my 20 foot enclosed trailer packed to the tits (7605 pounds) over 600 miles through the mountains with my half ton. Sure it was a bit slow going up hills but the truck handled it just fine! 10/10 would do it again!
@@JWMontoya only way to solve this is to put different gear ratios to restore the power . Should've had 3:42 gear ratio. I did the exact same set up on a 2006 and went back with 3:73's. I didnt want to lose a lot of top end power with the 4:10 ratio but had I went 37s I would've ( I also had 3 in body lift ). I just went with a different offset and wider wheels and tires. 22x9
I absolutely hate bfg ko2 just bc when I worked at Robertson I always had to throw 80+ out of the semi truck we got. They do look sexy tho but they are heavy
If you would have regeared that truck, it would have pulled a lot better. Those trucks have the power, but you have to regear if you want to do anything else than drive around and look cool
Im going to NC for Easter an coming home with my grandfathers 01 Sierra. So I'm lookin at small upgrades. Lookin at 3 to 6 inch lift wheel tires an exhaust.
It’s funny how similar your first truck is to mine. Mines an 06 extended cab however. Same color, almost the same headlights, and I’ve got 18x9 Fuel Hostages on mine as well lol. I was debating a 6inch lift and I think you just sold me on it.
I’m glad I came across your truck. We have same truck different year. Extended cab etc. I have the same color and I’ve been searching with someone with the same color and I really like the smoked headlights and the chrome front and chrome back bumper. I have so much work and money to save to get this truck into the best lookin truck around! Thanks you for this awesome video!
ive also been looking for one haha ive got a 2002 gmc project im working on right now and im trying to make decisions and i think im sold on doing it now. but im blacking mine out
Truck looks great. Word to the wise, anyone reading this. Do not get eBay tow mirrors.. 1A Auto makes a set far superior to even OEM in my opinion. Had an eBay set. Mirror fell off.. janky, not sturdy. Better off spending another 150 or so getting a set that is amazing quality. The Marker light looks way better than any OEM mirror. Wrap the caps with vinyl for cheap too. 3M.
Ik I’m super late and probably won’t get a response but I got the same truck just an 04 and a extended cab and I was wondering h where u got the bed cover and tow mirrors 😂just trying to get her looking a little better on a budget
Exactly I have the same question how did you find a 05 Sierra Z71 off-road and you only have under 120,000 on it when you bought it you must have known the person really well or it was a family member because I have a 2001 SLE Sierra extended cab 5.3 l two-wheel drive and I spent six grand for it with about 80,000 miles 6 years ago
Could you please help me out on my truck or just give me an idea of what to do to fix her up I would really appreciate it I don’t know that much about trucks
You know how hard it is to find those trucks with zero rust or little rust the 90s is where it gets worse Kansas isn’t the place to even find a good truck sadly .
If you enjoyed this video, make sure to check out my 1 year transformation video of my 2005 Duramax here: ruclips.net/video/NHHNETygmsY/видео.html
The main thing I'm curious about.. How did you find a 2005 z71 with ~100k miles for $2,500?
😂😂 after I watch the video I was thinking the same thing! He never said anything about it.
Right lol. That’s a 10k truck where I live.
The truck itself was $15k. All the mods were only $2,500
JW Montoya How much did you sell it for after?
I got a 04 z71 5.3L v8 for 2,300 no rust and it’s a 2500 110k miles
I just got my first truck, it’s a 2005 GMC Sierra just Like yours, and you really have inspired me to clean it up and make it amazing!
im a ram guy but not bad . Godbless yall prayin for everyone.
Awesome story man, that’s cool that you used your truck for your church!
Thoughts on story time videos?!
JW Montoya Do one for the white LLY!
Yeah. What Striving said, do it.
Pretty good commentary. I'd say better than most
do this for all the trucks
Why the worst decision for the 3.5 lift?
Great vid man! Hard Work pays off! Glad you got your dream truck! U deserve it! Can’t wait to see what you got planned for years and years and years and years and years and years and years & years to come! Thanks for never giving up!
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell ❤ Jesus died on the cross for you bro.
Very cool dude...love the story time, a more compressed history of the build... very nice!
Do one for the og lly the back story to everything is dope man
Just bought a 2004 silverado z71 1500. I average 17mpg with 200k, rebuilt trans, fuel pump, and several other things for $3800. Runs like a raped ape, can't wait to start the build
I just got the same truck with 285k on it for $500 and it needs a lot of work but it's better then spending 20-30 thousand
Cool video hard work pays off when you want something nice
Oh for sure 👍

Are you on 35s and 6” lift too? Truck felt much sluggish after 35s and pulling a trailer didn’t help
@@JWMontoya this is true. Mine has 33s at stock height but that's nothing compared to 35s.
@@JWMontoya lifting a half ton makes them almost useless lol

Loved the story time - keep making these 👍
Nice build over time. Its definetly making me want a pickup truck sooner
dude i loved it. i am 16 and trying to buy a truck and money is hard
You got that right same bro but your prob 17 rn but true money is hard to get even with a job not paying much But good luck to us both
First video I seen, love the craigslist hustle did it all the time as a kid. Subscribed!
Good video, I just copped a 2004 GMC Sierra single cab for 4K, 79k original miles
Awesome story man. I really liked how you tried new things hoping to find the right look.
Thanks man! I’ve definitely found the look I want. This build helped with my current build
Hell a funny when you blocked your manager in. Nice builds!!
Love it man! I got an 03 sierra with 54k miles last summer and I've been wanting good ideas for it
Stock always looks cleaner and better in my opinion
Love what you did with this truck!
I absolutely hate bfg ko2 just bc when I worked at Robertson I always had to throw 80+ out of the semi truck we got. They do look sexy tho but they are heavy

Oh for sure! But for a college student, it wasn’t worth spending the money to regear

I just got this truck as my first one
The best trucks are GMC! Good choice man.
Great video!!! I bought a 2000 Silverado 1500 for 3k. Kept it pretty much stock for a while till I bought 2k of mods in one day haha.
I know this would be a lot of work but can you make a list of everything that was on/done to it right before you sold it
I’m not really sure what you mean. Everything is in the video, you just have to write them down
Really awesome definitely should do you one on the white one for sure . triple thumbs up bro !!!!
Appreciate it!!
Great looking truck
I wanna do something cool to my 2015 ram 2500... Love the video jw
Do it! But just be aware of the addiction lol
I just got the same tow mirrors with the black lens and bro I ain’t wire mine either 😂😂

I’ll get working on it!
This made my sticker peck out
I got a stock 2000 2500
Wish I had the money to do something like that to it 😢
You can always pick up extra jobs. That’s what I did
JW Montoya oh heck yeah!
I do dump runs with my Sierra 😁 but insurance and gas is a real bastard xd
That truck look so cool
sick build dude, in my opinon the lift was a little over kill and the mirrors too, but other than that nice build !
Not hating. Love the truck but what is the purpose of all the upgrades. Towing purposes or just for looks
Really nice truck bro
😂😂 That's funny yall blocked his doors
God bless everyone
brooo leave the tired man alone hahaha
The best part was watching your manager upset
Should of droped it cuh like ah tackuache no kema cuh pinche v6

Why the manger look like Daniel larrouso off of karate kid?😂
Ik I’m super late and probably won’t get a response but I got the same truck just an 04 and a extended cab and I was wondering h where u got the bed cover and tow mirrors 😂just trying to get her looking a little better on a budget
Nice gmc
Legit video bro 🤙🏼

Truck look bad ass
Nothing says douchbag like tow mirrors
Good job on the video.
Manager was about to cry.
Nice truck enjoyed the video
i was thinking of buying a 3inch leaving kit but after this idk would say just do the 6inch instead??
Yup 💯
Wow I loved it
I have the same fish sticker lmao on my 03 seirra 1500
hey man quick question. did you have an offset on your wheels? or spacers? i really admire that bulldog stance you had going on. looked mega clean
Your manager looked liked he wanted to cry.
Did you tell your church about them demon eyes? 😂 Lol.
Prayed about it
Which part of South Carolina y’all are from
Where did you get LED pods?
2,500 for a rust free truck? Does it have 444555502917 miles ??
Famous75 noo it's $2500 of mods
sean watts oh lol I was so lost I’m like where do u get that number
I got a z71 gmc 2000 extended cab for 2,500 it has 290k miles and need to fix the transmission is it a good deal for these type of times ?
If it has a duramax and you can get the trans done for less then 3k its a steal.
i found a 1999 with 110k miles and it drives great. the body is ugly but the engine and trans are great
Could you please help me out on my truck or just give me an idea of what to do to fix her up I would really appreciate it I don’t know that much about trucks
Wow
As much those 2500 door mirrors look so cool I think they look tacky in a 4x2 1500
Issa 4x4
She Gone!!
The plasti dip looked nice on the truck
just brought this truck lol
Did u use the right gears when u towed
So adding a leveling kit is a bad idea ?
6:42 that fake yawn to make it less awkward
how much profit did u make after selling it?
Oh lord
Where did you get the led pods for fog lights
What kind of wheels and rims are those at 4:59 they look sooooo nice I need to save up for those for my truck.
what color was the truck?
My dad sayed he got me a 4x4 Truck 🚚 and it's so cool 😎 but I don't see it because it is a Surprise
It gotta lift kit?
I want a 1500 soooo bad
So I'm not clear, what is $2500? The truck?
All the mods
You know how hard it is to find those trucks with zero rust or little rust the 90s is where it gets worse Kansas isn’t the place to even find a good truck sadly .
There's some good deals around. Just picked up a 2012 f150 XLT with the super cab, 8ft bed and the 5.0 v8 with 114k miles for 16k
Owner must’ve upgraded to a Chevy. Just kidding. I’m actually a big fan of the older fords
So you had the 3.5” with 33?
Yup
Holy shit u change headlights a lot
Takuache Productions I do that too sometimes
It was easy and cheap to do
I remember watching when you had that boi
Do you have any clue what size halo you used?
Poor manager he was kinda upset lol
He always looks like that 😂 he’s a great sport though
how do you clear the stock headlights?
