Cool video Andre. Well done. I'm surprised with all that customization to this rig they couldn't find 30 minutes to bend the tailpipes upward closer to the line of protection helping the departure angle.
@@MrJamesLuz looks like over 30 degrees of departure angle and like 2 feet of clearance to the ground. Anything the front gets over will not be an issue. This isn’t a rock crawler either, but a well rounded overland pickup.
I imagine they kept in mind sleeping above and making sure the exhaust fumes push out far. Sometimes you will need start the vehicle to recharge or warm yourself after setting up your camp. And inhaling all those fumes probably wouldn't be preferable. Not to mention they look like they're level with the hitch, so It's going to clear whatever the hitch does. Real world applications and not rock crawling events, that should be plenty of room I would think 🤔
@@ALMX5DP exactly. That is more than enough clearence for most people's needs while overlanding. He even admitted in the video most vehicles scrape and this one didn't. Honestly I'm a Ford guy so this isn't even my "cup of tea" but I'm just defending the thought process going into the truck.
To all the “surface rust” comments. It’s not rust, it’s dirt! You know, that stuff you never take your trucks into. GM dips their frames in black wax and if you take it into a super dirty red dirt environment, it will coat the wax.
Wax is true, but it is rust. Wax cracks, holds salt and water, and then falls off and reveals a nice rust for you to view that you never knew was there. 😂
One of the reasons I got rid of my late generation 2500HD Silverado. The wax coating is ridiculous and just rubbed off on everything. At 6 months old the frame was rusting…. Hadn’t even been through a Midwest winter yet.
whats the point of going camping and overlanding if you need to bring a freaking computer server, full kitchen, and power plant with you on your $80k new truck? I don't get why some people can't just go camping and enjoy it without leaving all the bullshit at home!
The ONLY ISSUE I have with this truck is the lack of FULL UNDERBODY SKIDPLATES! Put those on everything that matters and THEN this truck will work for everything overland. I would suggest 1/8 inch thick 6061 Series Aluminum Alloy WITH a 1/8th or even a 1/4 inch thick Line-X truck bed liner coating on both side of the skid plates. That will give that EXTRA protection that can be critical in many situations. For emergencies, I would ALSO GET an in-cabin mounted combined CB/GPRS/VHF and long-range Shortwave Transceiver radio so you can use multiple modes of long range communications. All the major radio communications bands are available on such a setup. You can warn logging trucks that you are in the area. Check local CB and VHF channel numbers that are usually assigned at your state-level forest service for which ones to use for truck-to-truck comms. You can buy SDR (Software Defined Radio) boxes that plug into a Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system console mounted rugged laptop (i.e. Getac or iExplore) which can make your life a lot easier in an emergency situation. Remember to get both a headset with flexible boom microphone and a push-to-talk handheld microphone (i.e. looks like a CB mic) That lets YOU and your passenger delegate the the use radios according to your comms needs. Remember to get the longest and best quality flexible/extending antenna you can buy! I would also get an in-bed-mounted 50 Gallon Gas Reserve Tank (180 litres) that has the full electric or foot operated fuel pump handle (i.e. the smaller version of the fuel pump handle at your gas station) so you can fill up your toys or other vehicles AND which lets you travel far longer distances. That could give you an extra 600+ miles of driving range! Handy for big trips. Also get TWO 40 lbs Propane Tanks for your space heaters and propane stove cooking setup. V
Awesome to see some Australian gear like the Mitts Alloy tray and Redarc system on this! Been following those companies for a while on @4wd 24-7 and is nice to see some in the US market.
Was just thinking the same thing, I thought that canopy looked familiar when I started watching. I hope trays become popular in the US, eventually I want to get one built for a Power Wagon
Fantastic! You got that huge beast over razor rocks with precision, and with no slide slip towards the infamous terrorist tree! Now the question is: why do some apparently quality off road/ AT tires slip sideways, even with lighter, smaller vehicles, and how can we know which ones will and which ones won't? Andre, you may deserve a prize for pulling that off, and so does the truck! Well done!
Cool video Andre. I saw the tray and canopy and for a split second I thought you had a 79 series LC which are common here in New Zealand and Australia. I’m surprised there’s no bar work up front. Would be fab to see you do a long overland trip and test it in line with its build. Have fun 🙂
I think the only thing I really dislike is that exhaust. No point in the quad tips, since its just a Y from the single exhaust pipe. Just make it a single exhaust that exits higher up for better clearance.
So this modification ruins the suspension, which is a big part of what you are paying for on the AT4x and it just leaves the exhaust dangling 6 in below the rear bumper. Quality work. Did they also submerge it in salt water for a while?
Yeah... you've got so much tire and so much traction from the lockers you really don't have to air down. It will 100% ride rougher but it will absolutely help with ground clearance. From my experiments it's about 1/4 inches on my vehicle (on flat ground) it would probably hurt the clearance a half inch off camber .
On your next off-road project, you guys should consider trying out the Kenda Klever RT tires. It is a newer but very popular hybrid tire that people tout for its snow performance. I think the tests that you guys would put it through would be very useful to future potential buyers!
@@LightningTime777 that’s awesome man. I got a custom 1996 f250. I’ve taken mine in the blizzards and the ponds and everything in between. They help offset the weight 🤝
Are those airbags available to the public yet? What airbags are those? At 2:55 it shows them at full flex and they aren't mounted at the bottom. lt looks like the lower hardware is a cradle that allows a full flex without tearing the airbag.
I'd love to see the RAM Powerwagon being compared to the 1/2 ton off road models available from the other manufacturers. Even though it's not a half ton, it is an off road truck and the comparison would be fun and informative to watch. Great jobs as always!
Either a. it totally demolishes everything but Broncos and Jeeps due to the crazy travel, clearance, approach and departure or b. it high centers constantly.
Power Wagon has articulation going for it. Most of the off road trucks with IFS have a good bit less front suspension travel. Power Wagon has 14 inches of front travel before using the swaybar disconnect. With the disconnect active, its 26 inches of front travel total.
How can GM fit brakes that are small enough to fit 17” wheels over on such a heavy vehicle with so much towing capability, but Land Rover fit bigger brakes meaning a minimum of 18”s can be fitted on the Defender? A lighter vehicle with less towing capacity.
I was at the heavily pared down NAIAS this week and noticed a few things that would make for interesting comparo tests. Ford was showing off the Expedition Timberline and it got me thinking of how that would compare to the new Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro. That would make for some good TV! I also can't wait to see thorough tests of the Maverick Tremor versus the competition, particularly against something like a 4Runner or Tacoma (maybe a non-TRD trim?). I currently own a first-gen Sequoia which has a ton of potential and though most of the off-roading I do is very light, it does feel good to know I can handle some serious stuff if I need to. I'm curious if the Maverick Tremor can even come close to handling what the basic Toyotas can handle.
It’s not surface rust it’s mud and dirt some mud has a red tint to it I have a bunch of red mud on my property in Texas my 2020 Silverado 3500 dually underside is covered in it and if you let it sit it will stain the frame that red color it’s not hurting anything just looks like the truck was actually used for work and not grocery shopping.
If that is red dust, it seems to stick to some surfaces better than others? The frame and exhaust have a thick layer of it and other parts are thin. Or maybe it is rust.
Great vid Andre! I liked that rig at Expo, but the more I see the details, the more it looks like a show rig. Bad spare location, gas cans on the roof, GPS lights are dumb, cool idea but should be manual. The faster I go the more I want to see the sides. Too bad Chevy does square fenders, even those 33s look stuffed. AEV will probably fix that like they did on the past Colorado Bison. I wonder why they moved the spare up on the bed, would think moderate tires like that still fit underneath where you want the weight.
It almost looked like a daystar cradle for the airbag system. Sure it isn't a fully floating airbag set up? Either way nice but also don't see any springs. If youmhave a leak in a line or bag no backup.
They're all too fancy. Bring back to North America something affordable, simple, and yet capable, like a coil-sprung, convertible Samurai/Jimny or TJ/LJ, with 4Low, steel bumpers, and 90° rockers.. Isn't the current Asian-market Jimny coil-sprung now? It probably can't pass Western crash or emissions standards. ABS is probably mandatory here now too, and maybe TCS as well. Suzuki put AWD, 4WD, ABS, TCS, EBD, and VDC into the SX4...for well under $20K USD. Suspension lifts and metal skids could be sourced from the aftermarket. I can add my own lockers. A $30K Wrangler Sport might be the cheapest serious rig with 4Low left.
Couple things that would really kick things up on that truck would be a proper front bumper, that exhaust routing is silly of course, and I don't see why they didn't set up floating air bags with Daystar cradles or whatever so you don't limit your suspension travel as much (as witnessed on Rzr rocks). And 35s lol
I wonder if they didn't have a front bumper developed that works with the vehicle's safety systems and didn't want the liability of sending this off to media influencers and risk the vehicle's airbags not responding properly to a collision. Maybe the company sending this out was in a hurry.
I’m not a fan of how the exhaust got routed especially since the driver side looks like it’s actually touching the shock over time that will be an issue.. I would have just cut the quad exhaust off and remove all the piping to just after the axle and run some soft 90 degree dumps so it’s tucked and not touching the shocks. Other than that it’s a well thought out, gorgeous, and very capable rig.
Everything on that truck is perfect except its not the LM2 Diesel and that stupid dual exhaust put the back need to get cut. Needs a turndown after the rear axle and it be perfect.
Now this is the perfect truck to tackle Alaska. The quad exhausts are cool on the Denali Ultimate, but not on a extreme off-road truck like this. I would keep the stock exhaust and placement tucked under the bumper plus a additional spare tire. Awesome video and great driving, Andre.
I love this video I just thought it was funny when you said“ I never leave home without it” I never thought you could leave home forgetting your app lol😅. I know that it was a figure speech, but I thought it was funny.
Can one of you buy and test the new Apple pro phone and apply watch ultra with the dual gps on. You are in a unique position to test this option since you go where there is limited cell service
I like this video and I’m big follower of majority of your channel videos, good job guys..one thing I noticed at 6:20 when you were under the vehicle the amount of rust is very obvious and that’s a brand new GMC truck, I was wondering when it’s 2 years old how it will look 😂😂? Just saying at least overland vehicle should have rust proof coating. Thank you
Those bags are in Daystar cradles. They are not attached to the axle on full droop. Still, IFS front with an even further compromised rear leaf on compression 🤮
There's no difference outside of one or two amenities. Personally I ordered the ZR2 because the massage seats wasn't worth the markup that some of these dealerships are trying to stick you with.
Brush guards aren’t as popular in the states, I guess because the majority of trails are already well worn and don’t have much dense foliage left. They’re definitely needed in northern Canada, though.
Andre's anxiety while driving is why I don't drive a 80 thousand dollar truck. IFS is why I don't drive a chevy. Diesel, straight axle, and a regular truck cap to sleep in,I'll pass on all that other crap.
Its a nice build, but that exhaust system is really dumb for a build like this. I get why full size trucks have become popular for how much more stuff you can bring, but maybe we are just bringing too much stuff?
Hay guy I have a unique question for you . Honda crv ! I live I California. We are all looking into a case of vehicle in water. Yes the Kylie Rodney case . I have found that the crv I 4×4 . But what is it true capablys ? I qm asking. Because some of the Scenarios that are comming up like routs that I do not think a crv would make it through. For more information of area I am talking about can be found at zav girl on UA-cam. I would appreciate any input on crv capabilities.
Great video Andre. Those teeth clenching sharp rocks even worry me just watching. Some things could look nicer on the build but if it does what it's made do then 👍.
Those tailpipes are ridiculous. It’s like they just said screw it lol
I thought I had something to defend the poor thing but I just end up laughing about it as I kept watching the video
yeah super after thought lmao, even from the factory I had to tweak my ZR2 Silverado pipes out of the way a bit because they came aligned improperly
That's cuz there made for the factory bumper

Those air bags are floating. They have the day star cups that they sit in. The bottom of the bags are not attached to the axle.
Now take it to the ranch and run those courses. 😉

But what is it true capablys ? I qm asking. Because some of the Scenarios that are comming up like routs that I do not think a crv would make it through. For more information of area I am talking about can be found at zav girl on UA-cam. I would appreciate any input on crv capabilities.
If you take this truck to half these limits I’ll be impressed
Maps on your phone never “leave home without it” really YOU DONT SAY!!
Great video Andre. Those teeth clenching sharp rocks even worry me just watching. Some things could look nicer on the build but if it does what it's made do then 👍.
Let me know when it’s for sale
I really want to see the canyon at4x I would probably rather have that instead
Nice truck but I would rather build a Tahoe or Yukon to match it.
Cool, another Chevy that needs a 4” lift just to get where Ford and Ram are right off the showroom floor.
This comes with a 2" lift right off the showroom floor
Get the Sawsall out and cut those exhaust tips off!
Leave it to Andre to scratch up a 6 figure vehicle haha 😂
Cool truck, but those exhausts... wtf? not only do they look ridiculous, but there goes any type of departure angle.
Nice truck but what’s up with that rust in the undercarriage
Andre don't F it up haha!
What good is the truck if no one can't afford to buy
Way too nice truck for this type of duty
I'm not a fan of BIG3 trucks but this build is awesome!
Bumper over door or bed damage any day
if you want a trail dominating truck, the only one to buy is a Gladiator lets be real here
That thing needs a lift and bigger tires
Digital gauge clusters look cheap. Like a casio watch
