2010 Chevy Silverado PRERUNNER Walkaround! + Driving Clips

Did our first walkaround in the desert! The conditions were a lot hotter and windier than we are used to filming in, which was a bit of a challenge for the camera. Theres definitely some camera theories we can improve on for the next one. Big thank you to Curry for his patience in filming this one!

Personally I love the look of the individual lamps up top vs a lightbar😍

[@510mundo]

LMAO nice touch at 11:57 on the bridge

[@JimboHotWings]

This is quite possibly the coolest dude I've ever seen with a race truck and a goatee. Leave some for the rest of us stud.

[@413pl3]

Cool video. Keep the good work coming!

[@CaptainBeard714]

Plan is for my truck to be in one of these videos eventually 🤘🏻 Alex’s truck is badass 🔥 He’s put a lot of blood and sweat in to that thing. Those 4.5s are 🤤

[@jakobcheatwood9658]

Ayy I follow you on Instagram lol

[@Ambajacustom]

Hey bro, i love you!. Good work!. Very awesome project

[@howdidwegethere9496]

Always wanted to do this with my dads old 2001 Chevy 1500 but never had a clue how to start. The build looks great! Keep up the great work!

[@AbdomialSnowman]

Favorite truck out there

[@rickyscz28]

Absolute dream truck

[@hoprodzgarage6075]

Love the videos

[@DeaganZ3488]

Sick!!! 🤘🏼

[@iandungan6196]

I own a truck almost identical to this one and this is what I would do if I had a dream build so clean love that it still has cruise, ac and a stock dash lmao how awesome bro!

[@grahamkrivanek2315]

Love these videos and that truck is badass. My second favorite truck behind Kevin Terry's white center mounted silverado. Wonder if he brought out any spare steering racks, haha. You'll have to do Tyler's truck next.

[@CaliforniaLloydUK]

Amazing

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Sooner or later some1 will come out w/ way to share fluid between right & left shocks but only after u hve dialed in your set up for race day & where the oils come t center main life source round tank they both get cooled. Terrible if u hve not dialed in yet but perfect once u know your settings & speed bc u take fad completely off the table so only factor is not traveling at speed to breaking pnt red line if u will.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

U want the silt fence poles spaced so that the fence gets pull out of ground but doesn't break, same w/ the silt fence posts. They need to b 4 by 4 & b atleast 2ft in the ground or more as well.

[@oldenfarten5350]

I know it costs a few bucks,but maybe try out some wireless mics on each of you 'cause i couldn't hear a word you guys said outside in the breeze four feet away from each other.Wish I had 'cause I really wanted to know about how/what was built out in the back half of the truck.Huge fan o' the channel.Keep 'em comin'!

[@josealexizcoria7073]

Crazy GD up prerunner

[@derekhussey9467]

Another awesome video! Can you maybe ask the owners during the walkarounds what they do for a living? I'm always curious as to how these people pay for such expensive rigs. Just a thought

[@510mundo]

Union money

[@hondaboy410frieze]

Derek Hussey He works at a shop called Steel Nuts Offroad, located in Murrieta CA.

[@derekhussey9467]

I understand if you work at an actual fab shop that this is possible, but those 4.5 Kings alone are more money than I even have in the bank lol it’s just so common to see some young guy cruising down the freeway here in SoCal with a built truck. Just always makes me think. The fact that Jake is making these videos while talking with the owners, I think it’s a good opportunity to find out how these rigs are paid for. That way people, like my self, can kinda know where to start.

[@hondaboy410frieze]

Derek Hussey it makes it a lot cheaper doing all the work yourself, so getting paid what he does to work at the shop than working on his personal truck after his work hours Saves a lot of money. Plus any side work for friends or customers will bring in cash. But that would be a good question for jake & chris to explain their process of buying parts/funds

[@secret222]

I agree this is something I would like to hear too from your interviewees

[@jdrifter55240]

awesome stuff love the channel. may want to invest in microphones for the guys who don't face the camera when talking. still great stuff tho. keep up the great work

[@shaunphillips2961]

What modification to the shock whoop was done? What's it cycling full bump?

[@miguelgeorgiecajonhs6597]

Is her running a dash cover or is that the OEM one? Looks different, but good! Im asking because I need one for my truck after I caged it, the top of my dash literally fell apart

[@brianjohnson8616]

Ohhh....yeah.

[@ridered7262]

You forgot the most important part was the Gstring hanging from the mirror.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

U can see changing stuff prts setting running same coase same speed what works by temp gauge per shock. R u improving & at what price & how far on ragged edge of safe & non high cost failure.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Every tenth pole I would put a fire extinguisher if regular race coarse. I would pre cut the power poles made to fail/break at ground level. Then put a bolt on PVC sleeve around the poles to hold it together. Cut the poles 7/8th of the way threw. On impact it will break easy low to ground clean & safely.

[@colew4623]

😱😱

[@jamesmerkel9442]

They need to number each power pole big easy to read numbers so u can call out at a glance your pole location over radio & some1 can tell u back your time & if quicker run or slower along the way.

[@DeaganZ3488]

How do you smog something like this to register?

[@tonys4119]

Does anyone know the average cost of a build like this?

[@jamesmerkel9442]

I would get a silt type netting fencing & trench & run it all along road power pole side w/ at least 2 ft under the dirt. Kind of catch u if u break suspension & go off coarse, less pole hit, might flip & drag in ground to stop

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

The fact that these dudes are able to get tags and insurance blows my mind!

[@jakeharthill1674]

I have a prerunner built tundra and just tell insurance that its stock easy to get insurance and same with the dmv they don't have to know that it's modified they just think that it's stock too.

[@ridered7262]

Most pencil pushers have no clue, As long as you pay them they will take your money.

[@TypeUsername34]

This awesome. Would love to drive the hour to go on a run with you guys. Car is hella stock though. Oh and not a truck, SUV 😅

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Why can't they make chrome alloy grade 10 nut & bolts? B4 u say not needed the roof tiles of a tunnel were falling down break off grade 8 devil # bolts. As hard & strong as air tool sockets blued blk used esp in places u repeatedly take nuts & bolts off or vice vesa, mostly about the thread bc u can almost always just use a bigger thicker/stronger bolt.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

worked at bolt place counting out bolts by wt or little kid to less than 100 shit burger flipping job.

[@ryder.andersen]

[@jamesmerkel9442]

racing conditions long straight far away track/coarse alone is like diving alone vs more circular track some1 near or will come around next 20 mins b4 u bleed ot death., or shock to organ failure. Either need trail truck following along the area safer speed or drone back up or more looping track.

[@yeshua1176]

How does it get the name prerunner just curious?

[@riddlediddle598]

i think becuz they use these style trucks to pre run courses before the actual races like Baja 500

[@hotshot0476]

@@riddlediddle598 exactly, the racers use trucks like these that aren't full blown race trucks to go over the time trials course to get a feel for it before their official timed run.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Has any body tried lengthening the exhaust pipe? by twisting it like a snake on it's self. Meaning it will still flow big straight shot but just take a more senic route to get there & dyno it. Inside actual dimension may b a wee bit tighter but the twisting effect no improve air flow hving some kind of suction & back pressure effect at the same time. Science experiment just to see what is the best twist per ft at what size exhaust diameter.??? Something to try if some1 in the performance exhaust buss? Hving some enternal baffle slits cut & welded back in will force the air to make the scenic route (use the whole volume of pipe which is bigger than just running widder expensive bulky piping. Form cost & function deal+ looks cool.

[@Mangobrain82]

Holy rattle Batman. Lol. Seems like every damn thing in the truck rattles. Tie some shit down or get some duck tape. Can’t imagine that being constant.

[@CJAEY]

That's just the sound of bypass shocks.

Damn. My plans to stop spending money on my truck.... canceled

[@ridered7262]

You only live once!

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Me if possible to make this on the fly max travel adjustment then I don't set the rear same as the engine & Me sitting up front same setting. Front needs bit more travel for safety not crashing & dying deal & rear if rear drive less travel. All wheel u might make them all match & prt time front 4 wheel drive same travel but still softer rear shock, fade out where u hve less wt & less stuff to break. By hving it set diff u will see just what the limit of your system is & shock fad, esp if u hve a temp guage on each shock. Know what the safe normal travel fad out pnt is temp & time wise is v/valuable info. U hve to ride in this thing & even racing u don't want to crack up bouncing eye balls. .

[@jamesmerkel9442]

I know it's in vogue cool to hve max flex travel, I get it rock crawling makes sense. But for speed runs, I God wonder if we should not being doing the opposite? Hear Me out... U cage the trail & butt seat guage the trail. Then not sure how but u hve a way to limit the max travel speed run right trail to limit the max travel say 3 click system same way u hve 3 adjustable ride shock settings. On road firm off road soft grave some where in the middle. Well above 45mph or 55mph least travel 30 mph to 45 mph med travel length & if below 30mph max travel length example as far as gravel, off road u hve to figure it out butt gauge to conditions on the fly. Racing u might hve 4 speed settings above 55mph & up not road legal settings.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

It's all about dialing in like at the track, & saving those tires only in this case shocks.

[@superdutyzack]

Did this kid just say LEDs don’t have the lighting output as HIDs? Shave that ChinRat and do some research.

[@joshdavies6715]

SuperDuty Zack range wise

[@superdutyzack]

Josh Davies So STEDI, a lighting company in Australia have a 9” round spot LED than can throw a light 1,155m. Rigid Industries Hyperspot lights before they upgraded their LED technology could throw light over 1700m. KC HID spots can throw a light 1,704m or 1.05 miles. Now, my eye sight isn’t that good anymore but it’d say anything past 800m or .5 a mile is pointless in a racing situation because you can’t see that far. So for him to say LED doesn’t have power is just factually wrong.

[@jamesmerkel9442]

These high speed trail runners? I don't think u want perfect sq tire set up. I beat hving 1 tire lead say driver front & hving back/rear passenger following furthest back extra 1" front & extra 1" more rear is safer set up. JBM

[@jamesmerkel9442]

Might help turning radius big trucks, big axles as well?

Street legal? Even if it’s not Badass truck but.... ford gang

[@twayland6186]

Calling this a prerunner makes sense. Its annoying when people get a light bar in the front and spare tire carrier in the back and call their truck a prerunner.

[@ridered7262]

I understand that but majority of people don't have 100,000 to dump in their truck. We are all offroad lovers so let's just share the love.

“LEDs don’t have capabilities nowadays” Wat? Is he stoned? Don’t buy cheap shit, the good ones have plenty more capacity than HID and are not nearly as fragile. Also, this implies they got worse over time somehow... LED tech is taking giant leaps now.
