Thanks again Chris for coming to us for your Lightning needs! We can't wait to see the results! 🔥 - Jude & Landan

Giving that Lighting a new lease on life is awesome. This guy rescues abused legendary cars! Love to see it.

I love watching you do these side jobs, like working on your trailer. It helps educate people like myself and many others who watch your channel.

Bro really goes by the “you sleep when you’re dead” quote. Can’t stop won’t stop 🔥

Oh HECK yeah! Today's forecast: sunny with a chance of Lightning! 🤣⚡️

Next weeks episode thanks to lmr for upper lower control arms , new springs and shocks , new brakes . While I’m that far might as well get rid of the surface rust and clean everything up lol. Hands down one of the best channels and perfectionist.

Did a little A/C maintenance myself this week, learned a heck of a lot I didn't know before. It's HOT everywhere!!

Famous last words “while I’m in there” never gets old

10th gen lightening is one of my dream builds. Such a good body style. It’s crazy how it has almost the exact same suspension as my 03 lariat lol.

Yes! Locking the door on the job trailer for my lunch break! No interruptions lol

Awesome video! My favorite car the 03-04 Cobras ! Gotta love the lightning as well. It’s a dream combo!

Maybe a second channel where we can watch you do some trailer maintenance or just some little side projects like stuff with that dirt bike or maybe even doing stuff to your house or just anything that wouldnt exactly be related to the main channel? Just a suggestion and I’d definitely watch! Mini splits are a good option as well, I do HVAC for a living.

Greetings Chris, I'm glad to see you start the Lighting Project. As soon as I saw, what it looked like when you was taking off the front components. I know how you are, have to make things look good/better. No way you're going to put rusty old parts back on you cars/trucks...And I like that..I have been here from the beginning, and seen you work on awesome projects. Pls. Continue..On Your way to 100 thousand Subscribers..👍 👍

You asked about behind-the-scenes work yes that would be great to see what’s happening behind your production. But what I think would really be cool is if you could spend one video detsiling a day in the life of Chris snd/or a week the life of Chris and just explain your schedule from the time you get up to the time you go to bed I don’t know how you get everything done and go on work trips, home/family projects. etc. it be interesting to hear from somebody so inspirational And physically fit as well!

Absolutely love this truck. Exactly what I’m wanting. Clean black or blue on some factory replica 20s on some thick nittos.

I see that the C6 is out of the cover we might get content on it 🎉

Good call on the ball joints and you’re correct the lower one you pull that c clip and then knock it out top to bottom. New one, you’ll need a ball joint press (you can rent them from auto parts store). Presses in bottom to top. You can use the press to remove the old one too, it’s less violent. Or go aftermarket which is probably where you’re headed. Love the vids.

This channel is the plug for American OEM+ ❤

Yet another one of my "Should've bought" from back in the day. Great content!

finally you mods for the lightning🔥🔥🔥

I love that you work on all the cars that I have owned or would like to own. My favorite content on KZfaq. I search for your channel before anything else. Great job Mr. Sullivan.

Always waiting for new videos.

Two of my dream vehicles since I was in middle school are sitting in your driveway. I personally prefer the wheels that were already on the Lightning but it still looks great, man. New sub here. :)

I actually like the wheels that are on it better but it’s what you like better that matters !

You got the nice wheels on the lightning the best looking lightning wheel lightning looking way better

"While you're in there" The snowball effect is real when it comes to working on cars, have to learn when to stop yourself or you'll go mad, lad But yeah when you buy old vehicles you might as well plan to rebuild the whole front end, Idk what it is with Ford but ball joints and tie rods simply do not last on them, especially on Mustangs you'll be replacing them like every 20,000 miles it seems like

I wish I was as organized as you and attention to detail on spot

Yes! Finally, another video. Thanks Chris!

Totally freaking awesome, yeah the ole upper and lower ball joints on these style of trucks, my 97 F150 had 2 rounds replaced on her 280K. Doesn't matter if it's the Lightning, the Cobra, or the trailer the content as always good.

I always enjoy the content you post on whichever car/truck you end up working on during the time. I find it relaxing to listen to someone with common sense as their base instrument to use during all of the builds. Well done on the Lightning so far. Now about that exhaust.....

Yeah bro you could do a whole other channel of managing that sick New Hampshire property of yours. It’s fun to watch! Cheers from Montana!

Lightning Force out here getting some love! And yes, the weather is the same here in southeast Texas 🥵! Y'all stay cool out there!

Good smokin’ deal on the tires! Nice truck by the way 🤘🏼

+1 for your maintenance behind the scenes. Also the soundtracks you use especially the recurring ones make your videos awesome and nostalgia!

Time for some Stifflers control arms, that way you can dial in your alignment alittle better and if you wanted to go coilover later on, you could with their lower control arms

I dig the side quest. Now I have to tire shine my trailer tires

22:15 "I think I want to do mini splits this fall" Chris, you are a genius good thing you thought of it.

I love the block wheels on the lightning's

The only thing I hate about these Chris Sullivan videos is that they ARE NOT long enough!!!

Was waiting for this one. Best friend had this same truck, bought new in 2001 Black just like this one. He traded me his H&K USP .45 for me buying him a Johnny Lightning cold air kit and installing it. He never drove the truck, was a total freak with it and was afraid it would get scratched. A year later is OCD got so bad dude offered him more than what he paid so he sold it. He now has a 2020 Dodge Challenger Redeye Widebody.

Underatted channel. I hope you know we (your subscribers) see your hard work.

Great job Chris. Love watching your videos.

WHERES THE COBRA?? 😆 lightning content makes me happy though

Loving the content, also have an 02 lightning thats been in the family since about 05.

I’ve been waiting for this project Chris. You and I have similar tastes in style. Those wheels were a great choice and the stance will look killer!👍🏻💯

Absolutely LOVING your channel, Chris!! Keep the great content coming!! Subs need to EXPLODE!!

most of us have 24 hour day clocks..but Chris, works on a 30 hour day..job, wife, extened family and of course, YT content...

Got home from Work with some Wingstop and good ol Chris spoils us with a new banger let’s go 💪🏽

The perfect end to a hot work day. Always appreciate a Chris video. Keep it up man, best channel out there.

A Sullivan video drop? Everything else can wait can’t wait to see this lighting get the proper treatment! 🤙🏼

I have a feeling this truck is going to be bad ass! Can’t wait to see what you have in store!

Love that truck. I can't wait until it's done

I gotta ask man and I don’t blame you for not wanting to disclose at all, I’m just wondering what you do for work besides YT stuff? You got a badass collection of cars and a beautiful house man! Killer content

The master at work. Perfection at its best. Great job Chris.

I would highly suggest shaving down the lock stops on the lower control arms. after drop spindles my lightnings turning radius was bad and this helped some. duralast gold control arms have grease fittings, which I also added poly bushings and the driver's side anti cluck fix washer . you'll hear it when you reverse the truck usually

I knew it!!! I was hoping for the 20s but not chrome and thankfully you pulled the trigger ✊

Chris 2002 ws6 trans am! You know you'd love to do a 6sp ws6 next!!

Another great video,, looking forward to the next one

always love your videos Chris!

You probably already know this about greasing trailer hubs. But be careful about not over filling them. When it gets hot it forces out into the drum and ruins the shoes. You end up with no brakes or a fire.

Hell yah man! That bad boy would be a good candidate for some dry ice blasting. Another great video bro!

Perfect timing… it’s lunch time and I needed something to watch lol. Thanks!

Damn can’t wait to see it lowered with the new wheels would like to see it with the Oem rear bumper also 🔥🔥🔥

Detail for resale, nice work dad!!

Hell yeah brother, can’t wait for this build!

You can go with a 295/40R20 for the front and 305/40R20 in the rear

Hey Chris, couldn't help but notice you have some zip ties on what look like heater hoses on this rig. I would like to suggest using velcro straps from McMaster- you will still hold the hoses in place but with lower pressure and less point contact on the hoses. The velcro straps will also last longer than the tie wraps, which will dry up and break off over time. I also think they look a little better. Enjoying the channel!

Your videos are pure therapy

Good vid as usual! The 20's are nice but I love the block style wheel just more aggressive looking in my doesn't really matter opinion. 😁

I have a mini split in my garage and the theater room above the garage. The only way to go!

Love the channel Chris. Great stuff. Huge fan of the SVT restoration content. I miss the "cheap" Cobra videos. I saw her in the background, I hope we get an update on her soon. Also, going back and watching the 69 Camaro video's to see how that car came to be. Cool stuff adding the QA1 suspension. Lastly, love the behind the scenes stuff, don't mine it at all. I think you have probably inspired a lot of people to do some DIY stuff to their own rides, me included. Keep up the great work. PS: It's summer time man. Grab a cold snack, chill in the AC and get back to work. Summer is so short, enjoy it.

Truck needs some love. The banks 5” exhaust would look great on it.

I knew yesterdays storm was a sign. Great way to end a tuesday watching lightning videos!

Steel frame WR450, very nice. Love those bikes

Chris, you should start selling merch! I will 100% buy a "While were already there" shirt!

Dope content as always Chris can’t wait to see what is next

Mini splits are great Chris I just did them in my new house and back garage

Yes Chris Sullivan on a chill Tuesday afternoon😊

The best content on the tube...keep up the great work brother 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

ONE OF MY DREAM TRUCKS I NEVER GOT....LOL

I’m sure you’ve already done the job. I’m looking forward to see how you tackle those front leaf spring hangers. Also, for that oem plus + look, you can install the svt caps on the she wheels.

Looks AWESOME, the 20" offset wheels are going to make it look sweeeeettt...⚡⚡⚡

Nice work

Easily one of the best KZfaq channels. Loving the content!

Since you really enjoy your tire shine. And you always like keeping your rides looking good. You really need to look into Dura dressing! It's permanent tire shine that will lasts MONTHS. And the number of coats you apply gives you the amount of shine that you desire. So they are not super greasy looking.

Man, I was about 75% of the way through this and thought.... Wait a moment, he's gonna install that part with how all that looks, where's my "while I'm in there". Sure enough, you came through! Let's go rockauto!!

Haven’t watched your channel in a while and damn dude you’ve grown a lot. Looks like all you do is eat and lift keep it up big dawg

You probably already ordered stuff but I got all my steering and suspension components on rock auto all moog for cheap and can't go wrong with moog for sure.

Hey Chris, come to Dallas and hang with me, just checked my outside temp, 109 IN THE SHADE! 🥵

Video you on the 4 stroke Yamaha rippin' would be nice!

Just in time for my lunch break, let’s go!

Love the lightning content

Nice add Chris. I just put these wheels on my wife’s 97 Expedition. Should look bad a$$ dropped with the wheels.

Thank you for suffering in the heat to bring us this banger content lol

I know you're a busy guy Chris with your full time job and family, but, MORE video's dude ! 🤣🤣

Hey Chris love the content man, always enjoy watching.... I noticed youtube has unsubscribed me and maybe more people. I hope you address it next vid don't want you losing traction!

105° here in wichita ks yesterday 🥵

Love the content man, and as soon as I saw the mess behind the brakes I told myself "there's no way he's gonna put it back together like that" lol...

Well this is gonna be fun!

subbed! great stuff man. thx for sharing
