Stop overpaying on high interest credit cards and take control of your finances by going to lightstream.com/hoovies.

I'd honestly rather watch Hoovie spend $10k fixing a $6k vehicle than spend $30k fixing a $300k vehicle. It's more relatable to viewers and since I maintain my cars myself, I don't really worry about the labor cost for repairs

just proves that the wizard is a bro and really fair in deals. what a guy and really cool to see your interactions and sillyness.

When Hoovie met the wizard. The wizard had a 800 sq ft shop. Now thanks to Hoovie, he has a 80,000 ft shop with five mechanics working just on Hoovies cars. He also has houses that he uses to hold his boats, is looking into buying an island and a jet. It was nice of the wizard to give him this one

What I can, as a 32 year life long Texan, yes when you get 20-30 year old Texas car, you’ll have zero rust whatsoever, but you’ll likely NEVER find one with original pain that isn’t shot. You have to trade the paint (Texas sun) to save the body from rust. It’s a win in my book lol

Rust never sleeps. Here in Ottawa Canada, we use huge amounts of salt on the roads so we have lots of experience with rusty cars. The lesson is that it is NEVER worthwhile to fix any rust. The problem is not what you can see. It is what you can't see, and it is always far, far worse.

You should add pictures when you're talking about a certain generation of a car, so that we can know what you're talking about.

The GMT800 platform definitely was GM's finest work in the 1/2 ton truck category. My parents just recently sold their '03 Chevy Avalanche and it still drove great. As an unlucky owner of a '21 Silverado 1500 that shares its time 50/50 between our garage and dealership service department, I can definitely say they are a shadow of what they used to build 20 years ago and I can't wait to sell it. I also completely agree that the modern seats are rock hard; we have memory foam cushions on top of the front seats to make them bearable.

"Life long Texas truck" is the new "Riptide Blue" 😂

First the Escalade, then the Silverado SS, and now the Suburban Z71 I absolutely love that Tyler has an appreciation for GMT800 trucks and suvs

It appears that the Wizard has realized that it'd be a good thing for a mechanic's KZfaq channel to follow Tyler's formula (without the dumbing down part).

That road master is amazing! Cant wait to see how it turns out. My Mom had a caprice wagon in white while I was in middle school think it was a 96 with the LT1. I remember she was the coolest to ride with because I always got priority for riding in the 3rd row. Also remember she backed it off a driveway swail and had to have the tow truck pull her out 🤣 guess the heavy pig dug itself in to deep.

Wizard just wants the truck to use it as a bong 😂

Please keep this suburban this time. It’s a beautiful truck. As a Minnesota resident, we have rust boxes here without driving past Iowa.

Tyler, absolutely perfect! as we say up here in Canada.... Save a Whale, Restore a Wagon. My brother still has our family 1969 AMC Rebel SST wagon. Mind you now it's 650 H.P.. But yes, always a wagon, you'll get your investment back. And as always, Cheers from Canada.

Stuart: "We have secrets" ... this, I cannot wait for. Awesome to see VanGo again... they are artists. Props to Wizard getting you out of the brown stuff too - I bet he'll pimp that SS up a treat.

I didn't hate the "Riptide blue" thing, it was obvious you'd been intoxicated by it, so it was fun to watch like watching someone hopped up on gas.

I loved the R I P T I D E B L U E humor. I can't be the only one.

I am singing "That's what friends are for" - That SS would be a good truck, too bad it was not maintained well.

Yes. Obs and nbs are definitely the most comfortable seats. I’ve always said the same thing about the 2007+ seats. Especially the newest gen, they suck.

I guess he did smoked a lot of pot lmao. I love when the guy rubs his hands “oh I got a bill for you”

The Chevy Silverado SS drives awesome, sad that we won't see it get fixed up the way you do usually. It's clear Wizard likes it too.

Really nice to see a Suburban in such condition. My dad has owned a 01 Burgundy Suburban for the past 11 years and at 275k miles, it runs like new. And about the seats, we would go on road trips from Massachusetts to North Carolina and feel extremely comfortable. Love seeing more people appreciate these beautiful trucks

The Silverado SS will always be worth something, even with miles. Good to see it’s in good hands (not Allstate’s 😂😂). Hopefully Wizard fixes some cosmetic issues and install an ‘06 hood to make it look tougher 👍👍 BTW, that z71, as a Gmt800 fanatic, it’s gorgeous!! Good score !! 🙌🙌 Now you can ditch the Land Rover and still supercharge that Z71 !! Just talk to Alex from Legit street cars !!

Damn! We were looking for a tahoe/suburban like that. They were all beat to hell though. We ended up getting an 06 escalade because they had been maintained better. My wife is SUPER jealous. That bermuda blue is the color she wanted.

Making me miss my old 04 Tahoe, such a reliable truck. Mine was rusting bad and I traded it in on an 9 year old F-150. It has had more problems in a few months than the two years I've owned the Tahoe. They don't make them like they used too.

Detailer is going to ask him what he wants for the wagon…

This channel really scratches the car itch for me. Always a great variety of vehicles and ridiculous projects that I would never have the time or money to get into myself. Love it.

Love the Suburban, the GMT-800 series is about the best. Everything you said is very true. The GMT-400 series are also quite decent. We have Suburbans , one a diesel 1996 and 5.3 2001. Both have recieved very dedicated and ongoing rust proofing treatments to keep them rust free. We wish for them to last a very long time. Enjoy your new Suburban, nothing else really compares to them in that segmant!

I bought a 2005 new. First Silver Birch truck in my town. I had a webasto sunroof cut in. It was a great time with that truck. Of course, life with it in the desert southwest never taught me how rust prone it was. I think overall I liked my C1500 454SS a little better, because of not being nearly as complicated. Thanks for the video. Has anyone else wondered where all that wtc steel went? Just sayin.

Hoovie- You and Wizard have the best chemistry I swear. You should talk with FYI about a five episode series called "Hoovie and Wizard." Make it a sitcom and include your families and friends. It would need a story arc though, something like you negotiating a good deal on a deposed Russian oligarch's 300 foot yacht for Wizard.

Hell yes Tyler! A time capsule is right! So happy to see this on the channel. I have a ‘03 white z71 Tahoe. I got it 2005 with 18k miles. It now has 223,000k on it with the OG motor and trans. But it has more rust than your black SS Silverado thanks to Illinois winters. It’s been a great vehicle. PS, Vango does some nice work! Wish I had a one stop shop like that near me.

Hoovie: "Just look at the quality!" Chevy SS: "Hold my beer and watch this....."

Oh man, I have a love-hate relationship with this channel. I love Tyler's taste in cars, but I hate how I don't have access to anything like em in Ireland 😂. I'd love to experience that Roadmaster, it looks more comfy than my grandparents lounge

Commendable for wizard to take the truck of your hand! That's what friends are for! You support him and he supports you!

I love my GMT800 suburban. My dad bought it used in '08, I passed my drivers test in it, took over the payments when i was in college, and I'm still driving it to this day.

I almost bought a car yesterday because I liked how good it looked in blue. I think I caught something from Tyler.

I'm such a sucker for Roadmasters. Reminds me of the one my dad had in my youth. So fun and comfortable to drive.

I love that the detailing-guy is happy to work on a car like this. A true car guy!

So glad you're enjoying the "New" Suburban and sorry I didn't catch the paint flaws...guess I got excited / didn't want someone else scooping it up. Either way, I'm excited to see what you do with it!!

Patch it to where it's safe and reliable doesn't need to be a show truck and rip around imo. Patch the frame where it needs

9:54 that's because the tyre wall is part of the suspension.

I like how no matter how big his channel has gotten he keeps buying hoopties. Please never change.

10:30 I think it comes from the new seats having the cooling function, you can't have as much stuffing as in the old seats so the old seats if done well will feel SOO much comfier

It’s almost like literally everyone could’ve seen this coming or something when you buy something sight unseen

It's not a 1-Owner anymore! I share your love for GMT800 and used to live in rust country. Hard to find one worth buying without travelling to the desserts.

I think I saw that SS today when I dropped off my 2004 XJR with the Wizard!!

I'm a bit saddened I really wanted to see the SS come back to life.

One of those rare win-win moments in Hoovie's Life

These Z71's have a roller on the back roof rack so standing at the back you can load wood, boards, or big items on the roof by yourself. I dont thing any other vehicle did this

The backseat reminds me of my parents 90's e-wagon. I used to love sitting back there and making funny faces at the drivers behind us.

I just sold my 1996 roadmaster, the previous owner failed to advise me of the salvage title on the car until it was too late. It was cheap with only 68k miles, but it sold fast and I can't complain because I made money on the car. My best analogy on driving the car: its like driving your grandmothers couch.

"My Big black mistake" i've read that line in the tittle of some porn video somewhere

I bet he did remove the cladding to see if there was hidden rust

I love it how your viewers know that if they have a hooftie the need to unload, all they need to do is send you a message.

I love Hoovie..And his comment on the Gmt400 interior is exactly what I always say..The pre 95 "retro" square interiors..love it

I really don't understand how GM went from having comfy seats in early 2000s to very uncomfortable seats now 🤷 they are the worst seats out of the 3 American brands

The trend now is to make everything "sporty" - seats, ties, wheels, suspension - and the result is poor ride quality and a lack of comfort on a vehicle that was never supposed to be "sporty". I am waiting for Recaro's and summer tires to be an option for minivans.

Hahahaha! You two crack me up!😂😂 You got your money back on the SS and Wizard got a cool shop truck. Good deal I’d say, and pretty sure manufacturers started making the seats more uncomfortable… mainly for the driver. Because it helps to keep you from falling asleep at the wheel. At least that’s what I think. Stay cool Hoovie man!😎

Wow, 2 absolute beauties!! We had a few of the box generation wagons as a kid before my parents bought an Astro. My parents had a 78 Pontiac, then an 84 Electra Estate, then an 87 Caprice wagon. Loved sitting in the 3rd row!!

This is hilarious. I had a 2002 Silverado crew cab I had to pull the cord on cuz it was a rust bucket

I'd take this truck any day love the silverado ss!!

Hi hovie, that sound was the unmistakable sound of the new guy hitting a really soft bit of dirt in the trench they were packing. Thanks for leaving that in.

YESSSS!!!! I'm so glad your giving the road master some love!

I doubt most people struggling to pay their credit card debt have excellent credit

I don't see how you can lose on the Roadmaster, especially when those issues are addressed. It's so bad, it's cool!

Love these types of videos, so nostalgic, I'm 43 and Moms drove these beasts. 83 Buick LeSabre, 85 Caddy fleetwood brougham

I'm still fan Gillingham out meeting you today at Barret Jackson in WPB. Thank you for all the content and being such a genuine person!

No! I had high hopes for this beast of a Chevy.

We see so much of this in the upper Midwest love the content Tyler! Wizard you rock!

My mother has a 01 suburban lt that has 220k. White with tan interior. Garage kept it whole life. Exactly in this condition but unfortunately not z71 4x4. No major issues. Great South Florida truck

A SS just sold for 15k by my house with 250k miles and rust in the typical chevy places soon I would keep it if I was you cause you'll get your money back in today's truck market.

Yeah, when you said that SS was from the east coast, I was thinking RUST. Glad you got out of it. I'm sure Wizard will be able to get that SS up to standard without spending a fortune.

Please get a Lightning Even as a Ford guy, I'll admit the SS trucks look a lot nicer, but I feel like you need a red Lightning, like from the first f&f lol

Me mum just walked by at the end of the video when you said “thanks for watching” and she said “aw, thank *you*. That’s the car guy, right? He’s sweet.” Guess my mom’s a Hoovie fan too now 😄🤙

a 2005 Chevy that lived in the SNOW belt with out rust ? I think it's impossible. Many years ago, I had to take a fairly nice looking Chevy to the junk yard, the rust was so bad that it was not safe to drive. The whole subsystem in the car was hanging on by a thread. That was my last Chevy I ever owned. Never had any serious rust issues from owning a Toyota or a Lexus....EVER....

I’d love the Car Wizard too if he paid me 5k to take the Chevy 😂

Hey, you can't lose 'em all! Good for you Tyler! (I doubt he'll make this a habit.)

Glad to see the RMW's getting even more love. Luckily I got mine about 4 years ago, before it was "cool".

The solution to keeping a vehicle for a long time (I live in Ottawa Ontario Canada) if to have your vehicle oil sprayed yearly. The annual cost is in the $120 range depending on the vehicle size. The rust problem is that rust does its real dirty work in the warm summer months. The salt/sand mess gets into the areas between the fenders and works relentlessly when it it warm. When you get your vehicle sprayed professionally, there are holes drilled and wands are run into these areas under pressure and spayed during the treatment. The really good shops use two types, the thinner variety which has a creeper (allows it to spread), and the thicker variety (sometimes called snot) which is put along break lines etc. to prevent rusting. My wife just sold her 2005 GMC Jimmy which was still whole and not rusted and got an excellent price due to condition. This vehicle spent its life in Ottawa. I was told in New York state that oil spraying is not permitted in the US by the EPA due to there is some oil dripping after spraying. So maybe that is not an option in the US.

VanGo needs his own channel. Love to see how he does exterior restoration all in house.

Hello from Switzerland 🇨🇭✌🏻

I just love that you try to save vehicles. I don't appreciate the throw away society. Let's keep these cars on the road

I'm glad The Wizzard got the SS, instead off EuroAsian Bob's junkyard! Also glad you're keeping the Buick!! Beautiful Suburban Z71!! I just bought a beautiful 49k mile '04 Buick Park Avenue and it's awesome & so comfy!

Wiz doing Hoov a solid. QUESTION: How much of a comeback do you have if someone just outright scams you on a sale? (I'm assuming it depends on where the deal was struck? Like, if it's through a legit website then you have more chance of getting your money back, whereas if it's through something like Craig's List you're effed in the a.)

Wizard got a good deal, free delivery , you have all the headaches and stress, now he gets a descent truck!! I don’t know why I think he rips everyone off 😂

Tyler has built an impressive collection of full-hybrid vehicles. Every single one runs on both gas and cash. 😁😁😁

Ugggg. I’m so jealous. I’m on the east coast and looked for a gmt 800 z71 tahoe or suburban for over 3 years. THREE YEARS. And every one that I came across was clapped out, a rust bucket, or some ungodly lifted small peen death trap. I ended up having to settle for a 2000 Z71 OBS, which don’t get me wrong. I like her. She’s the last of the 5.7 350s and is def a Frankenstein b/c all the 2000 limited and z71s we basically just make with left over parts. Freaking trying to get the correct part #s for her is a pain in the arse. Took me a while to just figure out the stupid BAL radiator codes lmao. Still got a long way to go (the previous owner was a older guy who did a great job spraying it down to prevent salt rust in the winter - but he def did not do anything that required breaking a sweat - so you know, I’m just having fun lol). But for as much as I love the GMT400, I was in high school when the z71 gmt800 came out and fml I loveeeee those trucks. My first Gf had a 05 z71 suburban and man did we have fun in that thing 😏

When it comes to broken vehicles it's better if you work on them your self, that's why wizard and hoovie both won in this deal. Right on. Crazy that the previous owner passed away. I wonder if he knew, and that's why he unloaded the truck.

Repaint everything riptide blue. The wagon (minus the wood), and the Tahoe.

Growing up my dad had an 06 Suburban. So many family trips. Almost 200,000 miles and he still daily drives it!

I have a 99 Sierra and an 07 Saturn Ion Redline, the difference between the seat quality is outstanding

$1,000 for exhaust is insane you can redo the whole system for that

How the heck did you find a one owner z71 for 11k?

I am so excited to see how the roadmaster turns out!

15:16 when a person that’s gonna work in your car show’s so much passion for they’re job...❤️🚗

The rust was never hidden it just took 18 years

My girlfriend had a big black mistake in college

You are such a real person. I love your videos, I know the pain you have when you get home and find you bought pos. 😂
