Thank you!

No brother... Thank you.... You have no idea how much crap I would have absolutely destroyed if you hadn't been there to show me before hand, you probably could have produced a season with the money it would have cost....I've been a lol (repair technician) for 23 years. I'm still an apprentice in my opinion. I learn new things all the time... sometimes even from guys younger than me. Watching you inspired me. I'm not a auto, truck, marine or equipment technician, I'ma if it's broken, I'm going to give it my best shot and get it fixed technician. Doesn't matter if it floats, flies, or goes across the land I'll work on it. I got sick with COVID in 2020 and until 6 months ago wasn't worth a crap. I found your channel while I was stuck in bed. I wanted so bad to be back in the shop ..... my shop. Watching you kept me busy and my attitude positive.... you are showing the way for alot of guys ..... and you hang out with Ted friggin Nugent and built one of the rowdiest bronco I've ever seen... the way it rode a wheelie off the top of that hill was impressive. Keep doing it Stacey 🇺🇸🏆❤️. P. S. sorry for the misspell on my first post. I didn't proofread lol

Right on

FACTS!

This dude is a legend

So did i

Same mine is a 07 classic so same body style with the lbz and only 124k on the clock!

Mines the same colour 07, but dually.

Well if it looks like a work truck at least where I live that means every single bolt would either be rusted on there and it would snap or there would be no metal for it to go to because that would also be rusted through within 3 years probably no fenders as well the bed would have holes in it

How did you think it worked? He gets a commission off each part he sells.

I think Stacey David hosted trucks back then

Yea, I remember the power block hour on Sunday mornings. Some hot blonde kind of hosted it. Horsepower TV and Trucks maybe another show called American muscle. I can't quite remember

I hear ya. I'm 6'6" tall and work out of trucks like these. Its nearly impossible to reach the bottom of the bed without climbing in it. Most I would do is a leveling kit.

Level kits work really well with work trucks. If you want to airbag it you can.

Trucks from this generation are nowhere near as tall as new trucks. I’m 6’ even and have no problem with my 6” lifted 2500hd

Some people want the look but don't want to trash their truck. Especially at what new trucks cost. It's not that hard to spend $50k on a new truck. It's the same as the guy with the blown big block that never takes a pass down the drag strip.

You can get impact rated chrome sockets......🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I noticed that too!…lol

I knew I wasn't the only one to see that

There are crome sockets that are impact rated... their not as common as the normal black impact sockets but they do exist... he is on TV so things need to look sharp

There are impact rated chrome sockets. We have them at our bus shop

@@MasterDreadnought89 but many aren't.

That’s a car bud, it’s not really all that modifiable. They’re too fragile

Ya I know it's car platform oh well

You can find rear air shocks for almost any truck that you can inflate and deflate to help with height and weight.

There are fairly cheap truck cranes (like an engine hoist) here in Canada Princess Auto for $300... not sure what you yanks got for stores

Welcome back!

Definitely have to reprogram the computer. Back in the day you changed the speedometer gear.

Ha!! Yea they do.

All episodes are on KZfaq now, but new and repeat episodes still air on MavTV and MotorTrend.

Lol , mine has no A/C , power anything , am radio, every panel is dented but it's got 4x4 , 1 ton hubs and wheels , 460 with a 4 speed OD . First time my wife drove it , she had never driven a manual truck and was lurching . I said " don't baby it , romp on it " , I was really glad I put the holy shit handles on the passenger side

So!!

that's why you upgrade those parts.

@@jesusisalive3227 That's true. But unless it's an custom frame and axel up project who is upgrading with larger housings, axels, bearings, shafts, gears, and links? Mostly it's just some parts folks order off the net that look cool and they slap them on their truck. Daily driver lifted trucks don't qualify. The only ones I've seen proper are the purpose built rock crawlers and hard-core off road builds.

@@aaronwilcox6417 That's not true at all. You are very lacking in your knowledge. Manufacturers are offering lifts as a factory option. The frames on new trucks are crazy strong, they are fully boxed right from the factory.

@@jesusisalive3227 I didn't mention frames. Everything else is suspect. I'm not exactly lacking in knowledge as I change these components out. How can I be lacking when I rebuild axels and do bearing and shaft link swaps? I'm insightful aware of what's on a chassis. None of these light duty trucks are exactly strongly built.

there buckstop bumpers. the rear bumper starts at $899 and the front bumper is about 2 grand

www.buckstopinc.com/

1 million miles per hour

That's what she said.

Idk about you, but when I do projects like this I go over every bolt I touched at least once when I'm done anyway. Should retorque everything a few days down the road as well

Guessing mid 2000s.

2007 Lbz dmax

Lagoon Rd it’s an 06. Not an 07, he even says the year in the video

Arms and keys are just a leveling kit. The Skyjacker kit puts everything at factory operating angles.

It could be done with out 1 just more work.

They make impact rated chrome. You won't find them at the Harbor Freight.

He still is, but it is looking crispy and a little fake.

Needs a 5.8 or 7.5 200hp 5.0 ain't cutting it imo

@@Niterider73 even a 300 straight 6 would do better!

Sounds like a hoopty to me.

remember he has a lift, put the mc on the lift and back the truck under, helps if you have 2 people.

lol

both sound good to me.

Yes. Find a 25 year old truck that isn't rusted out. Good luck. Especially if you live anywhere remotely close to snow.
