In this video we will test the ZR2. We take it off-road to canwell glacier, rainbow ridge in Alaska. We take it through water crossings and up a 23% grade. 2020 Chevy Colorado
Alaska!! my boy hood dream growing up in northern Michigan I never figured at 43 I would be living in the pan handle of Florida! I've got a 2019 kenetic blue ZR2 I just installed the 589 Fab extension I paid 200 to have them powder coated with a slight texture. They came bare metal love the channel guys keep them coming!!
Glad to hear you you like the 589 steps. I think they look great. You definitely have to make it to Alaska my friend. It’s a great place to check off your bucket list. We really like the kinetic blue as well.
We camp and fish in this area a lot. It’s one of our favorite areas. We will have to include some of those shots in the next video. Thanks for watching Rowland. We appreciate it.
@@DustinFaddis well you certainly have a very cool truck (I am biased) and as a drone guy, I dig the mix of ground and aerial work. Your channel is awesome. Keep it going. Maybe eventually mine will get traction... But I'm really learning a lot about mods for my Bison... The steps like yours dropped today so they're off to powder tomorrow.
@@Kovaction I definitely love these trucks. I thought I had subscribed to your channel previously. I might have subscribed with my kids account out with my wife’s haha. They’re always logged in with my iPad. So I just subscribed with my account. I’ve watched your videos and love the drone shots. I really like your Scotland videos. I really enjoy making travel videos and off-roading videos too. My travel videos hardly get any views 😆. I only made my first “how to” or truck video as kind of a joke because I felt awkward talking on camera. My wife you should make a how to video when you work on the truck. I said nobody will watch that. Nobody wants to watch our travel videos 😂. So I did one to prove her wrong and I was proven wrong. Now I just do it for fun. It gets discouraging at times because it takes so long to build an audience that likes what you’re doing. Keep it up. We will both get there.
@@DustinFaddis Creating the videos is pretty time consuming and capturing those moments isn't always as easy as it looks, but then Lori and i get to watch the adventures over and over... And we get to share them with our friends, family and even the world. It's pretty amazing to possibly make a complete stranger smile and virtually take them with us on a fun journey, if even for just a moment. I never ever thought I'd have the ability to do all this. What's really really cool is while I'm choosing the music, manipulating the clips and then playing the project back edited, this feeling of joy and accomplishment flows through me. It's hard to explain, but it's addictive. I love love love doing this and that's what we have in common. Yeah, that's why we're both going to succeed at this.
@@Kovaction I totally agree. For me the most difficult part is finding the right music. Sometimes I find a song or two right away. As soon as I hear it I say yeah that’s it. Sometimes I look for music and can’t find anything 😆
Such a great truck … best in the segment IMO. I like the Ford Ranger Tremor as well, but fromt & rear lockers with the suspension setup is hard to beat. 👍🏻
I’m curious about the Ford Ranger raptor but the tremor doesn’t really compete with the zr2. I hope Chevy really steps up this next generation. We love this truck
great video. great family time. glad to see the tire/lift combo working well. i did a peak lift/255/80r17- 4.56 nitro swap. just plain cheating off road. thing's like a mountain sheep.
We haven’t had any issues yet… if you see in the videos we drive on sharp rocks all the time. I’m sure as the tires are and dry out a bit then we will see some chunks come out of them. Nothing yet though
Wow some awesome scenery, thanks for sharing with me. One question, what do you do if someone else is going the other way. In the beginning road looked awful narrow .
Thanks for watching Greg. It’s an unwritten rule when trail riding up here that the one driving uphill has the right of way. It’s a really good community. Most people just find the closest spot to pull over. There was a spot that I had to back up about 500 meters.
@@DustinFaddis neither, I just enjoy other people on RUclips and Instagram. I own a bar and restaurant in South Western PA and like to get away when I can. Try and do some off roading when I can.
Have you had any transmission issues mines got 58k miles and has already had the fluid switched. It’s starting to shutter bad again. How’s yours acting?
Awesome scenery! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. We appreciate the support.

Mountains are gorgeous. It’ll be cool if you guys did some fishin or camp fire it up. Enjoyed the vid. 😊

Love everything... Drone footage, truck shots, epic views... sweet buttery smooth edits... Nice job!!!
Thank you. We’re slowly getting a little better. We appreciate the feedback.

That is some rugged looking country, I like it.
Thanks man, it’s an awesome place. There are so many trails here it would be difficult to hit them all in a lifetime
@@DustinFaddis save them for the next life
@@TheDisillusioned1811 very true 😃
Beautiful area 😃
It sure is… we love it here

Nice, I bet it’s great with the gears. I geared my 2014 to 4.88 after going to 35s it was perfect. They’re great trucks for sure.
Any chunking on your outer lugs? I still have the stock tires on my ZR2 and there is severe chunking on all four tires.
We haven’t had any issues yet… if you see in the videos we drive on sharp rocks all the time. I’m sure as the tires are and dry out a bit then we will see some chunks come out of them. Nothing yet though
Wow that’s so cool
DAM WOW ;)
Haha… That’s right.
I need a dam wow 😯

We haven’t had any trans issues yet. We don’t have that many miles but my brother has a 2018 with around 100,000 miles with no issues either.
I’ve heard of some dealers doing a test on the TCM and that fixes it if the flush doesn’t
