SILVERADO 1500 | ULTIMATE TOURING BUILD - Ep 57 

Cheers mate! She was built to be used that’s for sure

Haha I highly doubt that mate! I’d love to tag along with them one day though! 😍

Haha thanks mate! See how she goes in the red dirt!

For your RAM I would recomend a 3 inch lift, 35x12.50r18 Nitto Trail Grappler MT and Method Racing Bead Grip wheels.

Thanks mate, haha yeah a few beers were consumed! All the companies did a great job that’s for sure !

😂😂 Can’t beat a cruiser mate! But thanks heaps 😊

Small man syndrome

Thanks Matt

Thanks mate, yeah she sure is comfy….and powerful! But the reliability of the 79 is definitely tempting for in the future, let’s see how Silvy goes after a good ol Aussie flogging 😁

Thank you, yes it’s a bit different to a lot of them, not many Chevs done so that was great

Yeeew cheers mate !

I’m selling mine shortly mate

Thanks heaps! Yeah we are yet to try that tent haha, have spoke to Johnny a few times, seems like a good guy! Also haven’t got to fold the awning out properly yet, but heading away this weekend so hopefully then!

@@_OuterLine Hey Ad that link for Tent doesnt work brother 0_o

Hey mate, yeah front bar and Winch going on shortly, wont be going up there without one!! Haha

Thanks mate! She’ll be round the traps somewhere! Haha

Thanks mate! That was my main goal through it all was to try teach people like myself not knowing much at first!

Thanks mate !!

Anytime my crazy Fijian friend 😆

Thanks legend! Let’s see how she goes in Australian conditions 😁

Thanks mate! Do we know each other ? 😆

Cheers mate! Always try to change it up as much as we can

Yeah mate sure did

Ive out the racks on their just for you big fella!

Hey mate, nah it sounds amazing, 6.2ltrs of roar through the snorkel. Then window up can’t hear a thing

Thanks mate and yes we just got the 10%

@@_OuterLine Hey mate, who did the GVM upgrade for you to 3630kg?

Thanks mate

I’m not 100% on the cameras mate, wouldn’t want to give you a bum steer

Thanks mate

Turned out pretty cool hey!

Cheers mate!! 2 wongs to make a right! 😝

Thanks mate, we will see if they can handle Australian conditions now haha, nah the build is considerably less then that mate.

Yeah the GVM and payload is a piss take on these cars, they do it all so easily, a 200 series cruiser has more 🤦‍♂️ Hopefully donor pulls their finger out and ups the GVM soon. Our weights are up there

I 100% will have him cranking in my earphones tomorrow now mate! Thanks for the tip!

@@_OuterLine no probs legend,ya Gunna love he's sound, you guys still 1 of the best and down to earth channels on yt 👍👍👍

In progress now designing them mate 😊😍

Thanks Nevan, we make sacrifices in other areas of our lives in order to have our toys mate haha. Priorities 😂

@@_OuterLine yes mate what an awesome build love watching the channel and I hope you didn't think I was having a dig cheers mate👍👍🚙🚤

Quite a bit mate 😂 We are only within our weights by a few 100kgs

Cheers !

Hey mate, well that’s a bit of a condescending comment if I say so myself. First of all you give us some nice comments then continue to write us off about our car without knowing any facts and then finished with a nice comment, so you’ve got me very confused. Anyway, your weights are very close actually and with 500 kg left over leaves us with enough to spare to keep legal. As it’s only Sarah and I that travel in this car when we go away, if it’s our kids we take the land cruiser and caravan. Now to the lift, legally you’re allowed to go 2 inches above factory height, the Trail Boss is already lifted 2 inches, therefore being legal, also the tyres are 2 inches above factory tyre size and again completely legal. We aren’t towing a 3 1/2 t caravan mate we’re towing a big tinny so I appreciate your message but before writing a comment such as yours you may want to look into the facts a little deeper. Our car has also had the Gvm upgrade to 1070 payload and 3543 kg GVM Yes when towing we have to be careful with our weights in the canopy but we also have a boat to store stuff in and I can tell you we are well under our GCM Have a good one mate

@@_OuterLine wasn't having a go at you mate and wasn't looking to get into an argument - I thought I had made that pretty clear, but I obviously failed - sorry. I was just looking for some clarification and more detail and didn't want to see you get into trouble whilst doing a trip. I just rewatched the video and had previously misheard that you had the Trail Boss edition. I thought you had just referred to that edition having a factory 2" lift. My bad and I apologise. You do still say you're going 2.5" over the factory 2" lift, so just be careful. Insurance companies are a$$holes and will look for anything to get out of doing a payout and you don't know who is watching your episodes. There wasn't anything said about getting a GVM upgrade or weight considerations - a point I touched on with you needing to explain and educate viewers a bit more. There is a massive amount of misinformation and misunderstanding out there in regard to GVM and GCM and you can help address it through your channel. A lot of people (and I'm not saying you) think payload is just what you can carry in the tray - they don't understand that it also includes the occupants and every single thing you put in, carry and bolt on to the vehicle. Even down to the tow bar itself, the additional weight of bigger/more aggressive tyres, bigger shocks, bigger leaf spring packs/heavier coils, water bottles in the cab, laptops, spare clothes, etc. That all contributes to the payload and, ultimately, the GVM and GCM. From a viewers perspective, based on the info in the video; weight was going to be an issue. You've now cleared that up in your comment above and I thank you for that. Can you please give us some more info on the GVM upgrade process you went through? You touched on how quickly EC Offroad found the lift kit, had it shipped here and installed. Can you fill us in on the hoops you had to jump through for the engineering assessment, inspection and sign-off? This is the sort of info people doing/looking to do builds want to know. It's a bit of a minefield and there are tons of tyre places (not saying EC Offroad are one of them) that also do suspension upgrades and churn out unroadworthy vehicles on a daily basis without telling the unsuspecting customer that their new 4" lift and 33's have turned their vehicle into a rolling defect. Keep the content coming. A deep dive into some of this stuff would be great.

I would say it would have a power draw in amps on the machine mate, if it was for example 12amps that means 12amps per hour of use, ours is a 400amp hour system. 96amps used in an 8 hour sleep. So worth the look 😊

Hi mate I’ve got a resmed AirMini and use a Dometic 40 amp hour lithium portable battery with a 400 watt inverter taped on the side permanently Just did the Finke desert race and Simpson desert crossing 15 day trip and only charged it once. Usually get 6-7 days use per charge. Cheers Ant.

Thanks Brento!
