Good cheap mods: 1) Headlight/Fog light/High Beam mod. Usually referred to as the "6-high mod". A couple cheap diodes gets the fogs to turn on automatically with the headlights, and has all 6 lights on when you switch to brights. 2) LED strip lights in the front seat footwells, and rear floor area. Wired with the dome light such that they come on when a door is opened. Wires & lights are completely hidden, but eliminates any shadows on the floor areas. 3) DeeZee easy down strut for the tailgate. Just pop the tailgate open and let go; the strut slowly lowers the tailgate. 4) Not sure if this can be sourced anymore, but an Escalade cowl piece where the stock truck antenna sticks up. The gmt800 Escalades didn't have an antenna sticking up there, so the cowl piece is smooth. Just run a stock length antenna horizontal under the hood on the lip of the passenger fender. I've had all these for over a decade. Best "bang for your buck" cheap mods.
LGND also did door handles that have LED strips slim and bright in them. Look outstanding. You should do them and your tailgate handle with a brake light strip in it. Would be crazy
So strange that I just came in from replacing some headlight housings on my silverado and noticed that the fog light switch wasn't working. Then this video is randomly suggested to me and you demo how to replace the dang thing! AWESOME! Thanks and Great video!
on my old 2006 Sierra I fixed my fog light switch with a little spring from an old remote control (the little springs that hold the batteries in place) The original switch is a chintzy design where the spring action comes from a little rubber diaphragm that breaks and flattens out.
ever considered vinyl wrapping between the side windows? I did it on mine and absolutely am in love with it. I drew a straight edge with masking tape off the top of my drip guards and made it level with plastic strip under the window. it was extremely cheap and it didn't take a ton of time. well worth it in my opinion. love the vids keep em comming. gives me ideas for my 07 crew long lbz.
Currently saving up to get a truck hopefully I can find a Chevy Silverado early 2000’s and have the build similar to this. Came to UA-cam to look at some potential ideas and this video gave me a great idea on what I’d want to do on my truck once I get it.🙌🏽
The 5.7 vortec in my 98 obs had a similar resonator that I did the same exact rubber cap on. It sounded so much nicer in the truck and definitely made me drive a little more spiritedly lol as for actual gains probably not that much if any at all it just sounded cool.
The cheapest budget mod that i do/like is color match the front tow hooks with a rattle can Something about the hint of color in the bumper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
hey i’ve been wanting to get a chevy, an old one. but i don’t like how the headlights are pointed. i like the squared ones. is there a way to change them ? or is it possible to make them squared ?
The headliner is a pain. I gave up on it and just took it to the upholstery shop. Took them 4 hours and 3-4 hundred. Money well spent. It's nerve wrecking thinking you're gonna snap the fiberglass headliner in 2 while trying to remove.
@tcl0028 radio waves rely on "line of sight" transmission. Pole antennas have a greater line of sight. No ammount of "technology " in an antenna will increase its range.
Those tires sticking out beyond the fenders are about the most ridiculous mods I see on trucks! If you must have that hideous look, do the job right and have the fenders built out to shield the wheels and tires! With the weight of the wheels and tires moved to the outside, you also shift the weight of the truck, wheels and tires away from the center of the wheel bearings, where the weight of the truck should be centered! The truck will NEVER handle properly again, unless you go no faster than 20 mph or so! And your tires WILL wear on the inside first! This mod puts excess forces on the outside of the wheel bearings away from the center of the wheel bearings where the weight should be supported! Not to mention since the tires are outside the truck's body, stones will fly off the tires from time to time hitting any surrounding vehicles! At the very least, mount mud guards behind each tire to cut down the flying objects thrown up from your tires! You're NOT the only one on the road!
Chevies I love but your always fixing something on them. Had to do the same thing to my S10. Had to change out my 3rd door latch too. I've got a second standard bed s10 that I need to fix the heater climate control problem. Cold works heat doesn't.
Thanks for the video of cheap upgrades. I’m actually picking a 2004 Silverado on Thursday and need to replace the tail gate handle. Have you figured out how to fix the drive side inside part door handle on the Tahoe? My wife’s suburban handle is coming apart.

It’s not a real Chevy if the windshield ain’t cracked 😎🕺🏽
Literally lmao
Completely different brand but every 1st gen tundra I see has a cracked windshield
Don’t forget the broken switch panel
Ikr lol
Shit you not I just purchased a 2022 Colorado the other day and on my way home a rock flew up and well it wouldn’t be a Chevy without one so

That fishing pole antenna unlocks my truck when I lock the keys in my truck. Comes in handy lol

The dee-zee tailgate assist shock setup really good mod I’ve put them on my last four trucks!

I use a spring from a ball point pen and a small wood screw.
the tailgate latch i had the same problem they sell just the little plastic part for cheap

That ending driving... Makes me love yhyat i live in Alabama. Beauty everywhere. 256!!!
Steering wheel cover and floor mats are a great improvement. I bought Dickies brand floor mats and a Dickies brand steering wheel cover from Walmart.
If I didnt already replace my antenna with a nice Chrome stubby on my 12 Avalance, I would 100% get that bullet one
Tucker glass is in Springfield al they do a great job on the front wind shield
slick, my 03 is near mint. one owner, low miles, but baked in the AZ sun for 20 years. jealous of all the rigs with good paint.
Black roof, Paint match Everything, RollPan, Bed cover it be just right 😮💨👌🏻
Fleece performance- all lights on and or boost auto- auto fog lights
You may have to take the front seats out to get the headliner back in if the new windshield is installed already

Got the same color truck and wheels but your tire is more stretched I like. What size tires you running
Don’t forget the zip ties on the throttle if you still have a throttle cable
The cheapest budget mod that i do/like is color match the front tow hooks with a rattle can
Something about the hint of color in the bumper is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
are there any antenna covers that arent a stupid fuckin 50 bmg?
Got to get a bed cover for it, bed cover on any trucks makes it 100% cleaner
I love your attention to detail bro very nice upgrades ill def be getting that tailgate handle for my 06' in victory red
Such a beauty ❤😍😩
I bought one of those bullet antennas from lgnd too. Radio signal is crap(I expected that) and within 9 months the black somehow turned into silver.
Great video and Bullet antenna for the win!!
Truck is looking incredible and can’t wait for the mods to follow!!
Keep up the incredible work 👍
I listen to my tunes via Bluetooth so for a cheap hidden antenna hack I just, took it out. Abra Cadabra
Makes the best duromax content out there
❤️❤️
the tailgate has been a problem for a loooong time. I replaced that green plastic clip about 20 years ago. Come on man, Chevy make it metal.
One of my favorite upgrades has been a custom steering wheel from carid.
mines got a cracked windshield too. super cheap upgrade
I have a truck just like that but I’ve got the standard tires and windows
I'm gonna look for that tiny antenna for sure I have that Ole antenna
Lovin the content T keep it up
5:25 poot
Window tint and led cluster lights
who made your truck? its on the bezel.
😳I see the alignment is something that comes first tho
Have a suggestion... Give one of your trucks to Whistlin Diesel please lol
whats the lil screen inside? on the windshield
hey i’ve been wanting to get a chevy, an old one. but i don’t like how the headlights are pointed. i like the squared ones. is there a way to change them ? or is it possible to make them squared ?
These aren't upgrades. You are just repairing your truck.
He took what wasnt good and made it better which is literally what an upgrade is so yeah those are definitely upgrades
No there upgrades cause those aren’t oem so shut up
There isn't a single upgrade in this entire video... you just fixed a few things.
What’s your tire size on the Dmax bro? I have 22x14 on 35x12.5 and am wanting to get some different tires as mine are getting worn out
what kinda boots are u wearing? looking for a new pair myself.. 😂
I love your truck! ❤
Keep up the good work.
Are you gonna get new headlights and taillights? I feel like that would make it a lot better looking
Mud Flaps Project Coming UP !
Nice truck man
It’s so cleannnnn
What size tires are on that red chevy
Gon do them Nbs tow mirror next
have you ever thought of getting a colorado or canyon and making content with them as well? there’s not much content out there on them

I like the other tires better
Where did you get that gauge
When you going to get it tuned?
Im always breaking those darned plastic clips 😅
God I love this truck. It's just gorgeous.
Looks almost identical to my 2000
Size rims and tires ?
What info display is that ?
And what are you gonna do about that steering wheel? That thing seen better days lol
What year is it?
I love your videos
I think if you put a camper shell
On chopper, it looks sick
How did you shoot the install of the fog light switch? Do you use a tripod?
Yes here is what i use amzn.to/430li4l
@@lmfscrew thank you 🙏🏻
The pole antenna will outperform the dinky bullet
Yeah if you buy a cheap one. Ronin makes a pretty damn good one and i can't tell a single difference in signal between the stock and Ronin.

God those wheels are ugly.
Beeswax creek
I love these videos gives me idea's
Maybe fix the steering wheel ?😊
When I grow up, I want to ruin a truck with gay wheels. Looks fun
Is this a 8ft bed?

Sheesh then wheels clean bub figured I’d acknowledge them let ya know someone noticed how clean they are
LEDs inside and out
Good thing I got mommy money
Lettsss goooooooo
Mods? Ha ha ha their just fixes and or repairs! Ha ha ha just saying.. but always good content. Sharing links and sites was good. Good looking out
Why put car tiers on a truck
Get a titan billet 9 blade for it
Ive been seeing a lot about the 9 blade and I just don't love that sound oddly enough lol
When you order Leds get the all lights on mod too
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
Not the bullet bro
you didint even give us a beofre sound how are we suppsoed to tell if there is a difference
Truck looks like it does zero work. Wheels are a dead giveaway that it’s just a truck for show. Not my style.
No one cares.
Sounds like someone does. They could help but respond to my comment.
The kid about 20. He thinks it's cool. Relax bro!!
