Can we please bring back more of these videos? This is the type of stuff that inspires kids to build their dream rigs.
I like how everybody is shit talking the trucks.... I would be happy with either of them lol
Haha same here they both look badass
The Nevada BLM had strict 25 mph speed limits on the fire roads. The area is habitat to the endangered desert tortoise and yet the BLM was still gracious enough to grant us our film permit. By abiding by the rules and respecting the enviornment ensures that open desert stays open for off-road use. We're glad to hear that you still overall enjoyed the episode, we have big things in the works for next season!
"high rate of speed over rough terrain" ?? When was that ??????? you guys drove like old ladies !!!!!
but really cool old ladies
Totally agree they could have gone alot faster to actually put these trucks to the test, they probably was on a tight budget and was capped on speed and probably had use the mechanics who did the part installs to run them and didnt have money to pay stunt drivers lol
@@paigelooney6117 For sure man, I wasn't expecting 120 mph over the whoops. At least 50-60 would have been decent
look more like an advertisement for the parts and accessories than a comparison of trucks...
10 year old videos ,and I'm so behind and love every second 😂❤
They made them look pretty and drove them like a prius
Fucking Primus man
Nice little run off. I like how both trucks used a slightly different approach to being prerunners (2wd vs 4wd, different suspension suppliers) and each having their own bumper and bed cage designs. I think your channel fills a nice void, thanks to all your staff.
....And to the poster who would rather beat on a stock 4runner, maybe you don't understand why we build trucks like this (yes I have a nice mid travel 2wd Titan) so I can run all day at moderate speeds and NOT be beating the heck out of my truck.
I like to drive with what I call the "80% Rule"...I run at about 80% of what the truck/suspension can take so that I have some truck left in reserve in case I come up on something too fast.
Jesus people.....stop the damn arguing OK Yes there's Ford fans and Chevy fans but their just God damn opinions Ford's and Chevy's both have ups and Downs......I like both and I also like Dodge you don't have to get into an argument every time someone says something different from you.....
The shocks and suspension you put on these things are absolutely incredible. Those bypass shocks in the rear are huge and thick leaf springs. Keep up the good work guys I love the videos
Both trucks look sweet!!! I love the chip upgrade and all the add on's..
I am a ford guy but the Chevy looks way better
can't get enough of the informational videos and how too techniques. I have a question that I haven't been able to find after searching ur many comments and videos. how well do long travel suspensions work in colder climates such Canada or Alaska were the weather gets well below freezing temperatures
Thank you for all your videos .... You are great guys keep up the exellent work ... Once again thanks ..
I wonder if they are running stock gears on the silverado with the 37's
any suggestions for a suspension kit for my 2016 Silverado 2500.. I have a 6" lift from McGuaghy on it now and I hate it. I am professional hunter so I do quit a bit of off-road and I would like to make it as comfortable of an off-roader as possible
do you guys have any valance or know where i can get some? need it for my chevy silverado front bumper
do you have any recommendations for long travel suspension on a 2002 chevy blazer ls
Awesome episode, so good to see the trucks in the dirt
Hey Austin is was awesome riding with you to the Pioneer Saloon last sunday. That was a hell of a trip. That Silverado was sweet!
I wonder if they are running stock gears on the silverado with the 37's?
where can I find those rear swayaway bypass shocks of my 04 f150?
What upper strut brace is this on the f150?
Awesome footage guys, nice work!
What’s up with the front and rear difference wheel base width on the ford? Is this normal? What’s an easy fix ?
Great video guys! Both trucks look good, real clean!!
Thank you we are glad you like the show!!! We are already getting ready for season 2 and we also plan on doing some shorter web only episodes until then.
Great video guys! Keep up the good work!
They say they wanted to make it as fair as possible, then why weren't they both either 4-wheel drive or 2-wheel drive
Totally agree. I thought using two different drive platforms was pretty dumb after they tried to make them as even as possible lmao
man i love your show, i learn alot about tig welding and welding just by watching. I need hands on!!! :(
Oh I do have another question, do you recommend a certain year ranger ? Or will a 04 do
Both are ridiculously badass! Clean lines almost "sleeper" pre runners minus the dope custoFab front bumpers which are possibly the best I've seen out there. Cool sh*t gents!
quick question. I have a 06 f150 with a 4.6l 2wd. is it worth building or should I just wait til I can afford a 5.4l?
why are thee front wheels or front end wider than the rear????
Can compare anything on the front kit while running a Heim and uniballs against weak ball joints way more travel with the uniballs
What size wheels on the silverado?
awesome work, love both trucks
Can you put a link to the f150 rear bumper bar
good job guys, glad to see someone out there doing something like this. Both trucks look great, i would drive either one, but they both look like they need to have a little shock tuning done to really make them shine. However you have probably done that by now. the silverado looks like it gets a little squirley at higher speeds haha im also assuming that alot of the naysayers don't realize that these are privately owned vehicles and the owners each wanted something different, and treat their vehicles different off road
I'm not sure what you mean by remove some fiberglass...can you give me more details?
Thanks glad you like both trucks!!!
Did you guys do any differential upgrade for the Chevy? Personally a real differential like a Detroit TruTrac or Yukon Duragrip (and probably 4.56 gears) would have been my next modification after the suspension.
What pointers do you have for a 97 tacoma build?
good point. thanks for the advice.
I noticed the F150's CV axle shafts weren't spinning. Does the Ford have lockout hubs?
nice! ill be tuning in for that.
how much would set up like cost?
where can i get that suspension for my chevy looks nice
Both trucks were very cool love to own both.
I'd like more information on these trucks. For instance weight front and rear for both trucks. Actual spring rate for the front and rear. By actual I mean at the wheels. The spring spring rate will be much stiffer due to the leverage of the control arms.
I saw the fabricator using a very interesting saddle make for the tubing, where or who makes that?
How high does the Silverado sit ?
I have a 97 tacoma 4 cylinder automatic extended cab, is it worth making into a pre-runner? It is really gutless but still looks good?
both trucks are BAD ASSSSS!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
We are running 800 lb springs on it...it's just a heavy truck being 4wd and a supercrew cab. And yes the Dixon Bros Kit does come with a shock tower brace for the front.
some guy down the street has a prerunner ranger and the front is much wider than the rear and i used to think it was so ugly until i saw that that was a common setup for this type of truck. sweet video btw.
So if I drive my truck to Vegas and drop it off with you guys.would you do all that you've done to your F150 project pre-runner to mine?
What fender brand is on the F150 seems fitment needs to be finessed a bit
Thanks glad you like them!!!
Both trucks are pimp in their own way💯👍good job Droop Tv
Hey live the videos ! And I do have a question. Two as a matter if fact .. I'm going to buy my first truck soon. Most likely a ranger . is the 4.0 strong enough to have fun in ? Or would you recommend a engine swap? (Just to take into open areas sandy places and also maybe some mud) The other question is can you recommend a web site on where I can buy springs bumpers tires ect. Or do you have a site of your own lol I don't know. But yeah please get back to me, I'd appreciate it! Thank you.
I told you we'd get it to you...glad you like it and thanks for calling in your question
why is the front end so much wider than the back?
You guys ever do a 2009 up ram 1500?
I want to make my 2007 Silverado look kinda like raptors suspension its not too high and I don't wana put those side panels
Wow thanks...glad you like the show.
When you add a LT kit on your truck the track width in front is widened. To make the rear match you would need a wider axle.
Thanks we really like comments like yours!!!
That front suspension setup on the Silverado seems to work pretty well for extremely low speeds. You could've literally driven a stock truck just as hard without breaking. My question is this : what is it actually capable of doing /handleing w /o a failure. If I'm going to drop that kind of coin on a suspension I want to be sure it's capable of more than some low speed tooling around.
all I see are the bump stops taking the beating in the front. makes no sense why have the bump stop that close to the a arm but theres gotta be a reason why
how much was it to make them like this
nice fab work!
Congrats on wrapping up the first season! When it comes to trucks, my preference is Ford then Dodge, but I'd have to go with the Sierra between your 2 project trucks. Keep up the great work!
Ya we learned a lot with this first head to head. We'll be posting more footage of both trucks.
lol I beleive it. Looks very good and professionally done. :)
is there a raptor in season 2?
SICK trucks.
Glad you like them!!!
Where people run into problems with spacers is the added leverage it places on the hubs. Think about it...pushing the wheels farther out from the hub places more force on them, this is what causes failure. The bearings wear out faster and you also run the risk of the spacer studs failing. Spacers might work great on a Side x Side because they are light and you really can't go that fast compared to a full-size truck that is heavier and faster.
We are looking at doing a Dodge next season but he details haven't been worked out
Glad you like the show. We always like comments like yours!!!
I wonder how much everything cost for the f-1150, including truck price.
We are working on a Ram diesel build but we are still in the planning phase.
Did you drop all the 4x4 on the ford, it looks like it's being bogged down, if not is that why you didnt do a show down. Because that chevy looks pretty dialed in for a stock sled
Would 35" Falken tires go good with my 08 silverado?
Beaudet Motorsports Depends what type of tire from Falken.
Ya it is not easy to do....glad you like our Rado
I use to have a prerunner but they are to expensive so i bought a 4x4. Shit doesnt brake nearly as often
What's all the rattling noises?
why are they using old footage?
37's on stock gears. Genius...
i think they are still waiting for free gearings upgrades
Do you know the Volkswagen LT40 4X4
Thanks Chris!!!
Wow, most of the people commenting know absolutely nothing about Offroad racing and going fast in the Desert in your truck. You guys are more concerned with the way the truck looks then how it would perform. The reason the front-ends are setup so wide is to make the trucks more stable at high speed on uneven terrain. Look at the geometry on a real trophy truck out there and you'll see what these trucks are trying to mimic and accomplish. I think these guys did a great job at building nice Pre-runners to go play in the desert in. Nice fabrication on the bumpers and rear shock mounts. What I wanna know is when you guys are going to add some sort of Roll Cage and 5 point harnesses to keep you and your passengers safe in the event of a crash? I'm not talking about a full on SCORE spec cage front to back, but just something to keep you from dying if you flip. I've seen trucks flip doing 15 mph., let alone 80 or 90, even 100.
In defense of the Ford, I really think it had a lot to do with who was driving the vehicles, and I'm sure these are there personal rides that they don't necessarily want to trash just for UA-cam to prove a point. Well anyways, Good Job guys, love the show and I look forward to seeing more builds in the future. You should do some stuff on older vehicles too. Like a K5 Blazer (BJ Baldwin's Prerunner for example) and a Full Size Bronco with long travel cut and turned TTB beams on it...
I second the FSB prerunner. BJ's prerunner is NOT the working mans ride this show focuses on i am guessing but I would like to see it too. The K5 solid axle is not the first choice of prerunning they are tuff though.
I'm sorry. Your comment is based in logic and engineering. There's no place for that here. The people of So Cal don't care how something works if it doesn't look cool. That's why I left. You've been reported. Ok, not really, but I should. Logic isn't allowed on UA-cam.
Yes you're right we pushed the Silverado a little harder than the F150 because of the nature of the LT kit on the Silverado having a fabricated spindle and heims and uniballs. Also we had the F150 in 4WD so it was a lot more controlled lime on the dry lake bed there was no way to drift the F150 in 4WD...
The Silverado is 2WD?
You guys should do a night run to show how great the lights work
Yes it is
Doesn't seem to hurt mpg too much but we also haven't re-geared the trucks. I average 12 mpg which is horrible.
The F-150 is awesome!! I have the exact same truck and was wondering how everything on it effected the fuel economy. Also, about how much did the project cost?
No they are the factory vacuum actuated hubs.
