Probably a little late but could’ve bought some fenders off another truck from a salvage yard and put the fiberglass fenders on those and then if you ever want to go back to the original you would still have the hood condition ones that match.
Be sure to cover your glass when using the cutoff wheel around it. The sparks will burn the glass. Ballsy move for sure, my hats off to you for even attempting this. I was a auto body tech for 15 years and I have done a good bit of custom stuff back in the day, this is challenging for a hobbiest in their garage for sure.
I never quitted on my 08 silverado, I got a single cab first truck from the GM. After 12 years I decided to make into a mid travel truck, got some 2 inch fender flare fenders, 2.5 King shocks all around Dirt King control arms, cut the front bumper off for tire clearence, added some 2022 silverado lights from Vland and 35s toyos with method 17 inch wheels soon to add 37s on the 4.56 gears, it's an expensive thing but the looks are worth it.
Absolutely, a fantastic video! Keep it up....the drama, subtle humor, sarcasm is great. Keep the video editor for now! Can't wait for the building build!! Update soon?
Those fenders are going to make your Silverado absolutely sick looking. You have inspired me to do a lot of upgrades to my 08 Silverado. You need to put a Sport Bar on it as a final touch.
Ive been watching you ever since you put the first lift on this truck WITH ONLY HAND TOOLS!!! And to see how far you, this truck, and this channel has come is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see this Silverado all finished up. Keep up the amazing work 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Right on man. Awesome to see someone with vertualy zero previous knowledge just jump in head first. Little tip, usually with a suspension kit like that you want to use a zero offset wheel. The manufacture of the kit should have given you some sort of info with that included. It should clear the fender without trimming as well Also a smaller wheel such as a 17 And a tire with a larger side wall will ride and handle better off-road as well.
I don't know if you have noticed yet, but you will want to cut out those stock inner fenders. The up travel from the LT kit is significantly more vs the stock. When that tire tucks up into the fiberglass fenders it is going to slam right into the factory inner fender and blow it out. You'll also want to check the up travel for any possible trimming on the fiberglass. Take the shock out and Jack the tire all the way up and also turn it full lock both directions and trim accordingly.
Please do a separate video on the Carlock system install, I have a couple ZL's to install it on, Iv'e added some of the Apple Tags to each car and my trailers!! The truck is looking amazing bud!!
dude hell yeah!! owning your first prerunner is the best feeling ever!! i still remember mines, it was a 2004. i would suggest or im sure you already have it planned, some low profiles front and back bumpers and maybe a lip for the front like Throphy Trucks have it!
Only because of you am I considering doing a few minor mods to my Rebel. And, you're cementing the idea that I too can have a fairly decent channel doing work on my Rebel, my Ducati and my VW Beetle project. Thanks bro!
This is my new UA-camr favourite truck! I absolutely love these generations of Silverados and making it a prerunner is making it so agressif looking now! Keep up the great work, aloha from New Caledonia
I have never been so nervous and excited watching another person cut their truck 😂 dude you are absolutely awesome to watch, I wish I had half the knowledge/courage you got to work on my own vehicle like that.
I'm freaking out about having to drill some tiny holes where no one would see them anyway to put the lights that came with my AMP Running boards on....can't imagine how you felt decimating those fenders...those beautiful, pristine, silky smooth.....I .... I just can't.....
Originally - I thought you had lost your F'n mind. Then it kinda grew on me - now it looks like a real life RC truck - diggin it. Also boggles my brain, how you folks can be so relaxed over tornado's lol. I would take Toronto snowstorms every Friday, over a single tornado. haha
Really great job.. Prices are starting to go down for new vehicles.. you make a decision yet on upgrading to a ZR2? Other youtubers have struggled with getting the views because I think they focused more on the offroad instead of the who truck like you did on your wife's Silverado. Looking forward to the next video.
I haven't watched to far yet, but I think I may have went to a salvage yard and bought fenders and keep the originals just in case I didn't like the widebody since they already match the truck.
Search silverado pre runner half bumper on youtube. Super easy way to get you some aggressive front end without shelling thousands for a bumper. I did it on my own truck and have zero regrets. I couldn't rub a 35 if I even tried
Looks great Chad! Did you add a bracket to the center of the passenger door to close that gap a bit like you did on the driver door? Also feel like the front bumper needs something...don't know what it is though. Maybe something that flares a tiny bit to meet up with the new fenders?
This was a hard one to watch when you started cutting but it turned out real good can’t wait for you to show us when the back is done and how wide it makes that booty on that truck
Dude every single one of your vids make me want to go bankrupt and just throw all my money at my 05 Avalanche, but you know family and house bills and college for kids and stuff but maybe one day. A big fan here in the 806 yes that is Texas. And try to keep them tires. Good luck 🍀
Man 6 years ago when I first started watching the channel, I would've never thought I would see you cutting the truck up
Why not get replacement fenders and cut those up instead of the originals?
Probably a little late but could’ve bought some fenders off another truck from a salvage yard and put the fiberglass fenders on those and then if you ever want to go back to the original you would still have the hood condition ones that match.
At around 2:55 of the video, my wife's cat jumped and bolted from the room. Totally made my day. I'm sorry your stress caused humor in my house 🤣.
Looks so good! I’ve been dreading putting my front fenders on because of the lack of videos
Thank you for this !

Its looking good. Good job figuring it out. Thats an intimidating job right there.

Can't wait for the building build!! Update soon?
Flares/Fenders are awesome. Gives any vehicle a wider and more grounded look and gives you a reason to run a wider tire lol.
Those fenders are going to make your Silverado absolutely sick looking. You have inspired me to do a lot of upgrades to my 08 Silverado. You need to put a Sport Bar on it as a final touch.
It keeps getting better and better! Hurry up and do more!!
Let’s do my 2018 bedsides and front fenders lol ! 😂. I can’t commit to cutting it up alone
Ive been watching you ever since you put the first lift on this truck WITH ONLY HAND TOOLS!!! And to see how far you, this truck, and this channel has come is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see this Silverado all finished up. Keep up the amazing work 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Man it hurt to watch you cut it up but boy does it look so good! Awesome job. Can't wait to see it get finished
I've got a 2013 same body Era!
This is exactly what I'd love to be blessed with doing the same to mine!
Sweet bro!
Right on man. Awesome to see someone with vertualy zero previous knowledge just jump in head first.

I was thinking through that, appreciate the info! We’ll see how much trimming is going to be needed when I get the 37s on 🤙🏽🤙🏽
And get 17’s and a muzzula skid plate and slap a bro runner sticker , socal ready 😂
Anyone that's done fiberwerx should have anticipated you mentioning the fulldroop install video, weoot 🤟
Please do a separate video on the Carlock system install, I have a couple ZL's to install it on, Iv'e added some of the Apple Tags to each car and my trailers!! The truck is looking amazing bud!!
I have a 2013 my friends say they love it but I’d trade it in a heart beat for yours man keep it up😎
Man, those fenders look awesome on the Silverado!
dude hell yeah!! owning your first prerunner is the best feeling ever!! i still remember mines, it was a 2004.
i would suggest or im sure you already have it planned, some low profiles front and back bumpers and maybe a lip for the front like Throphy Trucks have it!
Watched since day one and had the same vision for my truck I'm a few steps behind ya but I can't wait to see them when they're finished
The truck is looking like a beast!!!!
Only because of you am I considering doing a few minor mods to my Rebel. And, you're cementing the idea that I too can have a fairly decent channel doing work on my Rebel, my Ducati and my VW Beetle project. Thanks bro!

Great video! Your Truck is looking damn good with the wide body fenders!
This truck looks amazing!!!!! Love what you did to it.
Looks original my man! Looks great! Always enjoy your adventures!
I have never been so nervous and excited watching another person cut their truck 😂 dude you are absolutely awesome to watch, I wish I had half the knowledge/courage you got to work on my own vehicle like that.
So sick, definitely inspired to do more for my truck! 🤙🔥
It's hard watching that angle grinder hitting metal. But worth it I'm sure.
I'm freaking out about having to drill some tiny holes where no one would see them anyway to put the lights that came with my AMP Running boards on....can't imagine how you felt decimating those fenders...those beautiful, pristine, silky smooth.....I .... I just can't.....
Not even my truck but I was cringing the whole time. Turned out amazing now the question is do you ever plan on putting a 4wd system in there?
Another banger of a video ❤
Sweaty palms watching you taking a grinder to your truck, but high risk high reward I guess…she looks great! 🤙🏼
Be sweet to see it finished and wrapped
It's going to look so good when it's done!
you should get the rough country high clearence front bumper i think it would tie in your truck perfectly
Originally - I thought you had lost your F'n mind. Then it kinda grew on me - now it looks like a real life RC truck - diggin it.
Also boggles my brain, how you folks can be so relaxed over tornado's lol. I would take Toronto snowstorms every Friday, over a single tornado. haha
Nice job Man that going to look awesome!!!
Awesome job Braddah🤙🏼 Keep up the good work.
Love the look, and it's too late now, but maybe should have saved the stock fenders and gone with donor fenders to cut up?
I'm more of a Ford guy but I am enjoying the videos. I'm surprised Chevy wouldn't build a truck like this to compete with Ford
“Pain in the OKOLE”😆😂…fenders came out sick!👍🏼…Aloha🤙🏽
Looks sick dude! Great job
Chopping it up. Nice!
Truck looks SOOOOO damn good!!! Great work man!! Keep it up!🤙🇺🇸
That was excruciating.
Lol i know the rear is getting the fender too....but it looks like the OG missed legged day. Lol
Oh man it looks so good 😍
You crazy S.O.B.! Lol Looks great! Also, can't believe how big the boys are! 🤙
You should have bought another set of original fenders to cut up and than put the blue ones in safe keeping
Exact thoughts considering the oem's still looked that good!
Looking so good. Already pretty much copied the other Silverado, now I wanna buy this gen to do the same!!!! Great channel 👍
Love how informative and entertaining you are! Really just the right amount of both! Keep up the hard work
You never told me how much you like the Kings.
Looks killer!
I love the way it look bro!!
I’ll soon be doing the same thing.. I got fiberwerx in the werx lol for my front end only..😅
I have an 07 did the front fenders and bed sides.
Looking so good man!
When you’re done with your parts you can send them to my house. 5 kids I can’t afford to custom my Silverado
Nice work!
Really great job..
Prices are starting to go down for new vehicles.. you make a decision yet on upgrading to a ZR2?
Other youtubers have struggled with getting the views because I think they focused more on the offroad instead of the who truck like you did on your wife's Silverado.
Looking forward to the next video.
I have my bedside but I just got stock, this makes me want to start lol
Good job as always. Just wish you would produce videos more frequently. Love the truck though.
I love this transformation! Any plans for a pre runner style bumper? I think that would look amazing after all this work.
I haven't watched to far yet, but I think I may have went to a salvage yard and bought fenders and keep the originals just in case I didn't like the widebody since they already match the truck.
Bout time we get a new video
You’re even wearing the boots now lol. True Texan lol
Looks cherreh ma braddah! 🤙🤙
You got to do the rear top next
Awesomeness brother! Love your builds. Any thoughts on doing the flared bedside 😍
They are sitting in my office ready to go 😎. Just need to find some time to get it done!
Search silverado pre runner half bumper on youtube. Super easy way to get you some aggressive front end without shelling thousands for a bumper. I did it on my own truck and have zero regrets. I couldn't rub a 35 if I even tried
And thats just on the 4 inch lift I have. Woth your long travel setup 37s would be a breeze
What drill bit do you use for the spot welds?
Looks great Chad! Did you add a bracket to the center of the passenger door to close that gap a bit like you did on the driver door? Also feel like the front bumper needs something...don't know what it is though. Maybe something that flares a tiny bit to meet up with the new fenders?
Saludos 🖖
What is the board you use on the wall to draw up your plans and do your math? I'd like to get one like that for my shop.
Are you going to flare the rear fenders like you did the front fenders. If you do then it will really look like a Baja truck.
I could sure use them bed sides
Amazing work bro!🔥😈
Badass! Do mines now!😫🙏🏼🤣🤣
Love the content
Hahahaha love the stands.
You do good work for one man team with the tools you need your wife truck needs a carlock to
Sheeesh! 🔥
where did you get the fenders from ?
Hows the man cave/ shed coming along
dope!
i have a 07 silverado single cab with 27k original miles on it
Don’t bother painting. You should definitely raptor line the entire truck after you finish the rear fenders.
Are you painting the fenders your self and also what is the paint code for your truck the sticker on my truck doesn’t show :(
On 37 going to change gear ratio to 4.10 or 4.33?
Your on a island, car locking system 😮
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙ALOHA 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Aloha 🤙🏼
Maybe pearl white for a color
Are you gonna do bedside also?
Would rather see the truck in focus. Was looking at your front end grill and lights along top of hood...
This was a hard one to watch when you started cutting but it turned out real good can’t wait for you to show us when the back is done and how wide it makes that booty on that truck
Man i want to do this to mine
Dude every single one of your vids make me want to go bankrupt and just throw all my money at my 05 Avalanche, but you know family and house bills and college for kids and stuff but maybe one day. A big fan here in the 806 yes that is Texas. And try to keep them tires. Good luck 🍀
Make the hood fat scoop on it please also back fenders the same
