The reason your having a hard time changing from 4 hi and low is because you're supposed to be rolling when you change it. It's an auto transfer case. Over 5 mph for 4hi and under 3mph for 4low
Well done, looked great. Thats a great car, looking forward buying one in the future.
"...Basically a trophy truck." I love it!

AVALANCHE NATION BABY
I know this is an old video. But it's probably still this way. One obvious problem I seen with your lift kit. Was they installed your emergency brake cables. Under the axle. Fix that as soon as possible. Brake line or cables should never be under the axle.
These trucks are beast

Hey for what it’s worth, I had my avalanche for about a year and I just figured out If you have the side mirrors switch in the center and hold right on the directional pad the mirrors tuck in and back out of you hold left. Should help going through the thick brush. Also I use SOLUTION FINISH on my plastics. Do it right the first time and it will stay black for a long long time. Mine still hasn’t faded since last winter after several snows and hot summer in philly.
I love the mirror switch haha I wish they made cheaper tow mirrors with the integrated motor for them. I’ll need to check that stuff out for the plastics! Sounds like great stuff!
jtmoffroad I had to apply it twice I half assed it and it came off and it was blotchy. Use rubbing alcohol to clean it first don’t be like me 😂
I've been looking at doing the same lift on my suburban. Looks great seems to preform pretty well. Only thing I noticed is that the front suspension doesn't seem to have alot of travel. I did see a video where a gut noticed that the torsion bracket on the lower control arm was binding on another bracket. Not sure if you looked into it much and looked to see if contact was being made is places it wasn't supposed to. Same guy had issues with his bump stops were limiting alot of movement so he cut them down to accommodate.
Dude! That is so awesome. Best looking avalanche I've seen... and it works too! Awesome to see it wheeling. Definitely a sweet build. Great great Job
Thanks man! I’m glad it turned out so well. Hopefully I’ll be doing more to it too!
@@jtmoffroad Cant wait to see!
I've got Avalanche identical to this. With 5.13 gears. Detroit Locker. Once you throw gears in it. You're going to be amazed. We did the gears. Jba headers. Dual exhaust with spintech9000 mufflers. Superchip Flashpaq... It was fun and cool with the lift and 35's. After doing the gears. I average 15mpg at 2500rpm 70mph on the highway. And it's an animal. I mean my truck is fast.... also it does better off-road now. On the street it's a beast. I turn Mustangs into scared Little Ponies.....
Picked up an 06 last month. soaking up all your vids. getting ideas. Thanks.
dam im impress how well that avanlache did......off roadin . i got 2004 and just bought another one 2012 but it gonna be my pleasure ride n my 2004 well lol workhorse now again tks for video now atleast i know what to except if i decided to go off road with it
Thanks! Good luck with the trucks!
That Avalanche did good! I seen in another video, I believe in your trans temp gauge video (im going to do the same thing for my 04 Tahoe for towing my boat) you mentioned Nemicolin.... Fayette County Pa. That's where im from & I know that mountain, lol. Fish at the Yough & High Point all the time. I wanted to say you guys with the full consoles are lucky! Mine don't have it. Boost Auto sells a wireless charging pad that's plug and play with these vehicles and I wanted one so bad. 😞 ..... anyways great content!
Loved seeing what this truck can I have an 05 and was thinking about putting a lift in so I could wheeling knowing now that it can I definitely am
Really glad this video helped! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Lifting this truck opened up more opportunities for me!
They are fun in mud or climbing long hills. They’re not great for short steep hills, but I absolutely love my 04 avalanche over I enjoy it way more than I did my 04 grand Cherokee.
Seems the LSD wasnt kicking in the whole time that g80 usually walks anything
Looks like fun! Glad you were able to get her out on the trails. What’s next?
The Bearded Jeeper gonna get her out on the trails again this weekend!
Awesome
Great video. I have a 2011 avalanche lifted on 35s. I also have a 2021 cfmoto zforce 500 that I do the same as the jeep, I think it's better than a jeep.
Mount camera on dash please sir. Killing me seeing the sun visor more then the road & surroundings.
Ah I know that was a first time using the head mount. It really bugged me releasing this video... thanks for watching though. My next four wheeling video in the avalanche was better
Nice
i would cry if i smacked my avalanche with branches like that :-0
😂 definitely not for everyone! Thanks for watchin!
Great video.
I had a 2012 avalanche..now I have a 2011 Escalade ext..lol..I can only dream
Thanks! Haha, time to get that thing out in the woods!
jtmoffroad
I’d love to..looking at skid plates and a front bumper..😁
Heck yea!
I have a 2011 avalanche 4wd ltz. Could never take if off-road. I actually want a 2013 Escalade ext. keep them both.
it looks like the big girl did ok in the woods. you need a locker in the front. try looking into a 3500 hd front center section swap or a solid axle swap. off-road design makes a nice swap kit. the 3500 hd is a 9.25 ring gear and you can get lockers for it
Yea def needs a locker up front. I was wondering if it would be easy to swap a center section out of a 3500 in but didn’t look into it much yet. I’m glad you mentioned that though, I’ll be sure to look into it more!
@@jtmoffroadI found some info on this link www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.gmt400.com/threads/swap-8-5-ifs-for-9-25.38576/&ved=2ahUKEwj6hNTvpprjAhVEBs0KHSJkClwQrAIoADABegQIAxAI&usg=AOvVaw1pOpLEkfz6SpFAq8TOMiXa
@jtmoffroad did you ever look more in to it? And if so what did you find?
Duuuuuude suck a monster! I love it! I kind of want to build an Avalanche monster truck now. haha
Everyone’s selling them cheap!
jtmoffroad building one as we speak!
I wanted to put that setup in mine
I just found out that those trucks can have the rear seat come down as well as the rear window comes out I kind of want one now but I am not sure if they come with full manual trans beacsue I never liked 4x4s that are automatics
I couldn’t put my avalanche to work that hard.
Put a set of tj flares on that yj!
I would love to know where this spot is
Where is these trails at?
How do you like the 4.10s? I put 4.56s in mine i thought it was a but much.
4.10s seem fine. I didn’t notice a huge difference going from the change so must have been just about right. Still haven’t towed my Jeep with it yet so I’m curious to see how it does with that
I also have a 04 avalanche Z71 with the 6" rough country lift what all did you have to change to do the 4.10 gears
Are you happy with rough country Lift kit?
@@Bigbeachbitch77 I'll give you an answer. Yes I am satisfied with my rough Country lift. Performance very well on the street. Independent front suspension. So it is limited in the front. Overall it does okay off-road. Front suspension travel not so hot. They sell long-arm kits. That will get you close to 14in of suspension travel upfront that's a $5,000 upgrade. Also the solid-axle will cost around 4 grand. If you want more articulation upfront you have to do a big upgrade. The rough country is a pretty good balance between excellent Street performance and decent off-road capabilities.
03 Avalanche 6" Rough Country with 35's
🤔🤔🤔🤔How much would you say you spent on the whole overhaul to get if at that point
So I was given the lift but paid for everything else. I replaced a lot of worn out parts so that was a bit of a hit. But basically the upgraded parts to this have been the lift, wheels, and tires
How good is a lifted avalanche?
Where in pa
It will go if u just send it !!!!!!!
I like your thinkin!!
You said altoona that’s crazy I’m from Ohio but came to Pennsylvania every year with my YFZ450 to ride Big Murph until they officially shut it down
I climbed big Murph in a 88 XJ back in 2002 at the Thanksgiving party. People were all laughing at me and wondering why I was lowering my air pressure etc. When I hit the top people cheered like I caught the winning touchdown at a state championship and now 20 years later and you can't go to sheetz without seeing 3 lifted Cherokees on the way. Now I'm old and have the only Grand Wagoneer in the Altoona area and an 05 Avalanche. Be safe on your bike.
Sounds like your rear end is about to granade...
A video he has 5 months after this one says he blew up the rear axel lol
Congrats, but jeep driver should drove the Ava.
Is that a 2wd or 4x4?
4x4, tires like that on 2wd would be a waist
4x4
What would the mpg be on your avalanche
I average about 12 mpg now total
Where you located in PA? I have a lifted Tahoe, just got back onto 35s on 18x9wheels
Western pa. Very cool! What years your Tahoe?
jtmoffroad its a 2003
Ah cool! How do you like your lift on it? Which one do you have?
jtmoffroad I love it! I have a Zone Off-road 6” suspension lift, leveled front to rear. Also have the BullyDog GT Gas tuner, just need to update the tire size to 35s on the tune. Rides really nice too, trying to hit trails, I’m from eastern PA
That’s awesome! How do you like the tuner so far? Only thing I’ve done is the tire size and gear ratio and changed the shift firmness so far. Hoping to get into it more once I get some more time to play around with it. That’s cool, you have any trails out that way to go on? Prob decently close to rausch. At least closer than me! Haha
What year is that avalanche
2004
@@jtmoffroad sick that's the same as mine. Do you know what kinda lift or level is on it
dodgekin 2003 nice! yea it’s a 6” rough country lift
@@jtmoffroad thank you so much man. Love the videos
Could have done all that in 2wd
No
@@josealerma999 yes
IL has zero public land. I wish i lived in the southwest. Still have the sway bar up front?
0 public land sucks. I wanna move out west period. Yea sway bar is still up front. Haven’t really overly tested offroad capability of this rig
@@jtmoffroad ive got a regular cab short bed so my sway bar delete didn't really increase body roll. Your longer truck might, but still worth a try. Much less drama going over bumps on & off road plus increased articulation.
I’ll give it a shot next time I go off-road. I was wondering how it would work being ifs
The Avalanche was never meant for that degree of offroading. It's a people and stuff mover. My 2006 Avy 2500 8.1L tows 12,000lbs with ease.
100% agree but it’s still fun. I’m jealous, those 2500’s are beasts. If I get a chance to snag one I would
I have an 04 2500. Motor parts are getting harder to source. I was on the hunt for a new fuel rail...... Found one $800 something bucks! I wish I bought it now, gm wants $1200 plus, but it's discontinued.
The Z71 with G80 will get you through some rough stuff
Bro you got at least 1/3 or all four wheel bearings busted excuse me to wheel bearings & 2 axle bearings maybe 2 x 4 for total of eight I don't know what the setup is.. but that's not your tire noise.. it's different grinding noises at different speeds
Ad page should say , AVALANCHE drives to a place where off roading has taken place at some point or another , but avalanche decided it actually didnt really want to even consider off roading until around the 17 minute marker !! But then avalanche decided to just kind of not do anything because avalanche was hoping the driver would either shit or get off the pot ,or just avalanche on home and return with jeep instead ? Lol...lol.....lol... Good lord ive never seen 20 minutes of absolute nothing !!! Ha ha !! Avalanche says we can tell he was cutting , but i disagree with avalanche because he didnt cut anything at all , if avalanche wanted to cut anything , id say that avalanche should cut this video and just go avalanche another non time or non day or non next week ,avalanche put in 4x4 at last 3 minutes of avalanche doing nothing but speaking english to everyone , lol...lol... AT THE END OF THE DAY ...AVALANCHE DIDN'T GO OFF ROADING ...AVALANCHE SIMPLY WANTED TO BAIT US ALL INTO A CLICK ,KNOWING FULL WELL AVALANCHE WASNT AT ALL INTENDING TO DO ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT AVALANCHE COULD DO IN 4X4 MODE !! Those trucks are surprisingly capable in a lot of 4x4 situations, except for this one !!! HA HA HA ...LOL...LOL..HA HA
Best trucks! Chevy_avalanches
