You are right it is your truck, but there is no reason to destroy it to prove that. Regardless of what Chev tells you, that tuck is not made to do what you did. SAS is a YES from me, not that that matters a bit, but if you upgrade the power an already understrength diff will die quickly with bigger tires and mo power. SAS and trailing control arms and long travel coil overs similar to what OBS Suburbans do will give articulation and strength you are looking for I would bet. Not very Fam with Colorado trucks, but it will be very costly to try and build a truck to do all things. Decide what you really want to do and build to that end. You have a Jeep so you can still get out during the build. Can you imagine a custom frame, mega LS powered almost naked frame version of those racing trucks that jump a hundred feet and land like a butterfly? Bet that would get your blood pumping. Anyway ,good luck, sorry for the slight misadventure. Enjoyed the vid. We are planning to go to Ouray late summer early fall with either the 92 K2500 Sububan Tow Pig or the 89 square body Overlanding V1500 burban. Be safe.
Haha. Yeah. I’m aware that I don’t have to jump the truck. Still don’t regret it though. It would cost about 65k to do it right, and still be a comfortable daily driver. That would include a motor swap and retaining the IFS. Much, much less to go SAS. There is only one company building custom stuff for this truck to make it extremely capable. They are very expensive. The biggest turn off to that is retaining the weak front diff. Have a blast on your trip!
Wow! That was crazy
Yeahhhhhhh. Dumb. Haha
I did the same with my diesel zr2
Loosen the 4 bolts on the hood brackets and itll allow you to align it again and fully close
The core support is pushing the hood up because it’s bent! Haha.
1..glad you're ok. 2..please refrain from doing anymore stunts until AFTER your upcoming roadtrip. 3..nice work on the table.
Ooofff that poor truck! lol
Yeah it was pretty rough!
I would stay with the IFS. Long travel, 37s, gears, etc... Keep it different than the Jeep. Go fast truck
Minimum 38 I’m thinking now. Who knows. It’ll progress as time goes on haha.
