21 YEAR OLD TRUCK OVERLAND CAMPING BUILD - From Stock to Adventure Ready!

[@bryanr.3241]

Definitely a perfect build that didn't go over board. It's all you need for overlanding 👍

[@CoyoteWorks01]

For sure. It should give me a lot of miles of adventure just like it is! Cheers!

[@TroydaBoy6160]

This is the most underrated comment ever posted on a overland video! People lose the fact of what's needed and what's wanted and what's more important. I'd rather stay simple and hit more trails then do to much and hardly get out thinking I'm never ready.

[@danielc5205]

It's amazing how good a stock truck can be off-road, just with the right tries. One thing I like about your truck is, it's not overdone.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. Yeah I’m not into really building them. Basically I like to do as little as possible to make them a little more off road capable. Cheers!

[@terryduprie6313]

Casey, I don't comment too often, but this was fantastic. Great way to honor your grandfather. I'm sure he's smiling down on you as you adventure. Not to mention, nice truck!!!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. I”m glad you did decide to drop a comment. I think you’re right. He would be pretty happy with what his old truck looks like now. He would be pleased that it’s not too overdone. Cheers!

[@DirtBandit]

I'm sure your grandpa would love what you did to that thing. Awesome truck!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

I think he would. Cheers!

[@floydyoung7329]

Absolutely beautiful and what a wonderful tribute to your grandfather!!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. Yes I couldn’t be happier!

[@FatMatAdventures]

Oh my, the tires and wheels! Lolo did great!!!!

[@lummoxoverlandadventures1072]

Theirs something about an old truck that just feels right. Nice job Lolo. Looking forward to Grandpas truck adventures.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Man I agree. Your truck is looking bad ass too!

[@joshberry4301]

4th? Never been in this early! Great story behind the truck. I'm sure he'd be really glad to see you getting the use out of it and taking his memory on down the road with you.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Nice work my friend! Thank you.

[@FatMatAdventures]

That's a great looking truck for being that aged. I had a 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 that I ended up putting 300k miles on and absolutely loved it. I then got a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited, and 2 years later, went back to a 2016 Z71. Great choice! Glad you're keeping your Grandpa's legacy alive! He's looking down from heaven, smiling, I'm sure :)

[@davidbrytowski4477]

I love that they put your grandpa's name on the truck. Respect!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Me too. That is such a cool touch.

[@000207poosh]

Wow!!!! What an amazing build and tribute to your grandfather. He would be extremely proud of what you created.

[@rubiconwhiskey7135]

You have Amazing Friends at LoLo Congratulations on a beautiful truck. Thanks Grandpa

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. Yes they are a great bunch of friends for sure! Couldn’t ask for better people.

[@THESPORTINGCAMP]

Excellent build! May the great memories of your grandfather live on forever. What an excellent project. Bravo!!! Time for an adventure!!! Coyote Works Rocks!!!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you my friend. I just got back from my first camping trip in it and I’m working on that video now! Cheers!

[@thebepis712]

The same reason Ill be working on a similar 01 , my wife’s grandfather passed and we decided wed try to buy it. He gave her a love for the outdoors, its nice to get it back in good shape

[@ntime2095]

About to build my 93 Z-71

[@jeepdriver6496]

Nothing better than having things belonging to grandparents!!!! I'm sure he's looking down, enjoying what you did to his truck!!!! Look forward to seeing this build Casey.... Still the best channel in my opinion on KZbin. Stay safe my friend.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you my friend! Really appreciate hearing that! Yeah I couldn’t be happier to be using a hand me down truck of my Grandpa’s!

[@GratefulOverlander]

Lo Lo Overland is some good dudes. Never met them myself, but I've heard nothing but great words about them. RIP to your Grandpa, beautiful part is he still lives through you. 🇺🇸

[@rogerhector8323]

nice job granpa would be smiling knowing your looking after his truck

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. I think he would.

[@Jax4umalta]

It looks amazing Casey. Your grandpa would be so proud. I can’t wait to see this truck on the road and the adventures that you have in it. Great job to Lolo. Cheers my friend you did good kid lol

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thanks Jaquui! I think he would be! Cheers!

[@roseapple8786]

Looking good. Love what they did to your coyote logo. Can hardly wait to see where you go on your first trip in your grandpa's truck now your truck. Be safe and God Bless. Out.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Just got back from my first trip in it and working on that video now! Cheers!

[@Davistant]

this is awesome, I recently bought a 2004 GMC Sierra that I've been slowly building out to an overland/adventure rig. I also went with the Softopper so I'm excited to see how this will turn out long term. Cool to see people re-purposing used vehicles rather than spending a fortune buying something new.

[@routinemarkout2099]

Seeing more and more people do overland builds on the gmt 800 platform is why I love to keep making videos on mine. Nice build sir!

[@brianwatson3705]

Just subbed to your channel also. I'll check out your videos later today 👍

[@3deez702]

No doubt that your grandpas spirit will be with you on all the adventures that you take this rig on! love the videos and have been watching since the days of the xterra.

[@paulelgersma3971]

Awesome build, read every comment, I appreciate the easy mods anyone can do without breaking the bank. And those older trucks are bullet proof. Thank you and keep us posted on its performance.

[@jasonperry2244]

That came out looking pretty good. The plasti dip really made the front end look great. I like how it this build wasn't over the top, like you said its not a new rig, but your still inspiring others to get out and explore with what they may have. What a great way to keep your grandfathers spirit alive casey

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you my friend. That’s exactly what I was hoping for. It’s not a crazy high end truck and build for sure. But more than adequate for some awesome adventures!

[@asc81821able]

Glad you kept your grandpas truck, cool piece to remember him by 🤟

[@ChickennGritss]

Beautiful build, your Grandfather would be proud. Stay Safe Out There, God Bless

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you my friend. I’m really enjoying getting some use out of it too. Cheers!

[@Balefulmoon]

Great story, great build, great people. Thanks for putting this up, man. Good news for bad times.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

For sure my friend. I’m really happy with how it came out. Worked out great on it’s first back country camping trip too. Cheers!

[@ddc2493]

Very cool, nice memories of your grandfather.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. For sure.

[@davidmonnin2792]

Damn, what a transformation! Perfect for how you are planning to use it. A great example to show folks they do not need a new Power Wagon or Tremor to get out and explore the back country. Gotta say I really like the updated logo as well!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. Appreciate hearing that. Yeah Daniel did awesome with that logo!

[@chuckrf1502]

I hope you do more follow up videos on gear ratio, lockers/limited slips, engine and upgrades, bedding and storage,etc. cool series.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

I will for sure. I’m working on the video of my first overland/camping trip in it right now. After this i tidal trip I’ll make some adjustments to the load out and then I’ll do a video going over that. Cheers!

[@stevetabor4447]

Grandpa’s are the best looks good great adventures ahead great memories for life 👍👍as always be safe

[@CoyoteWorks01]

For sure. Thank you my friend!

[@Wingman115]

What a great way to pay respect to the memory of your grandfather. Good stuff.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thanks Jon! Always appreciate you my friend!

[@MeanOneMeanOne]

Excellent build, Casey! My old Ford is 20 but serves me well, hopefully this rig will do the same and can't wait for the future vids with this beast.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thanks my friend. Good to hear from someone else running an older rig!

[@brianrocco4301]

That generation of GM truck go forever and ever. Super reliable.

[@fromflabtofourteener9596]

Absolutely perfect! What a wonderful way to honor your grandfather. I'll bet it's itchin' for a trip to Alaska...

[@CoyoteWorks01]

I agree. Really happy with how it turned out and really happy to be doing some adventures with a part of my Grandpa with me. Cheers

[@gringo3009]

I think you did grandpa proud!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. I think so!

[@crjmoto]

Awesome. Tasteful build. I had an 04 long-bed Silverado. Camping in the back was like an RV - bed, tables, cook in there. It was the bomb

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Oh yeah I bet that was a great set up! Cheers!

[@IrenesVanventures]

What a fantastic job Lol Overland did to your Grandpa's truck. 🤗👍 The decals and the special touches where so spot on perfect especially them adding your Grandpa's name to the Coyote Works Out on the back. The hood decal is so cool. Enjoy your travels, you will love Nevada and especially Utah. The beauty and the variety of the terrain in UT is breathtaking, one of my favorite states to be in. 🥰 Can't wait to see your journey!!! 😄👍

[@cyclinggospel5307]

That is a cool truck! Lo Lo outlanders did a great job! Keep going! carry on your Grandpa's legacy!. Thanks for sharing video!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you my friend! Appreciate it!

[@nmelkhunter1]

Since I’m a truck guy, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this. EDIT: The truck is really, really well done. Two questions. 1. Did you do anything special to the engine and transmission besides PM items. 2. Have you ever thought about driving the ALCAN? The ALCAN has always intrigued me.

[@fromflabtofourteener9596]

I'm doing an overland trip, Denver to AK in Aug/Sept 2022 - was supposed to do it this year, but a surgery came up and it's put off - Alaska ain't goin' nowhere. There are some good videos on driving the alcan, especially the past 2 or 3 years. I've been researching like crazy. It's gonna be good.

[@nmelkhunter1]

@@fromflabtofourteener9596 Good luck and post a video of your trip.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thank you. I have not done anything to the engine or tranny yet. I’m hoping not too but I may see if there is a simple kit to make it breath a bit better and/or mod the exhaust. I don’t want to put a lot into the motor because I’m planning on doing an engine swap when this one wears out. I just want to get as many miles out of it as it is as I can. I’ve too always been intrigued by the ALCAN. Would definitely like to hit at least some part of it eventually. Cheers!

[@livewithnick]

I have the same truck except mine is a 2000 model. I bought it to fix up like this one. Lots of great ideas from this video.

[@rockymountaindt8410]

Very cool to repurpose an heirloom into a really special build. Enjoy it!

[@CoyoteWorks01]

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Just found this video. I am also building my grandpas truck into a overland rig. It’s even same color as yours. Glad to see someone else doing it too!

[@randyfredricksen5963]

I think you feel that way because he actually is sitting there right beside you..I really believe that to be true. You are leaving him a great legacy with your respect for him.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

For sure!

[@TheBeardyBardsGamingExperience]

I have the same sierra that I’ve spent some time building up as a road trip vehicle. Did a weeklong 2000 mile trip back in may. I plan to spend this winter building her up even more so I can do more trips in the spring and summer of 2023

Great video. I'm doing something similar with my grandfathers truck, which coincidentally is a 98 K1500. Researching that is what led me here, and now I feel that's a sign.

[@consaka1]

My rigs 48 years old and my grandfather gave it to me as a graduation present.

[@allthingsunrelated2919]

CW, this is exactly what I needed. I’ve been looking at teardrops and overlanding but I have an older 2005 Chevy Colorado that I’m unsure if I should invest in upgrading or if I should get a new truck. Thus certainly gives me a good argument to use my fully capable Z71. I’m going to reach out to your mod company and ask for further advice. Thanks again for sharing!

[@pbodymathis]

Wow! The transformation of your grandpa’s truck is tremendous. Show more of what is in the bed under the cover.

[@04JALD]

I am with you buddy with my 96 burb 😊

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Awesome! That’s a great rig!

[@vetman548]

Had a 2000 Chevy Silverado same color and size that I had for 16 years. I loved that truck. It was very reliable except for eating power window motors and the rusted brake lines from being to big to park in my garage. Make sure you get those brake lines checked. Living here in Ohio that was bound to happen with all the snow and salt. Sold it to a friend of mine and it had around 145,000 miles on it and he is still driving it to this day. Also it helped that after having my brake lines replaced. I had them replace all the rubber hoses to the brakes with braided lines, it was worth the money .

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Thanks for the tips on the brake lines. And good to hear you got so much good life out of that truck. I”m sitting a little over 100K on mine and hoping to get a few more years at least before I have to do a motor swap. Cheers!

[@concretejungle77]

this is great simple , effective, and the big part is its affordable ! like the big dollar builds don't get me wrong they cool to look at but it nice to see videos of upgrades that we can all do thumbs up.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Yeah totally agree. It doesn’t take a lot to make a rig a bit cooler looking and increase its’ capability. A little can go a long ways. Nothing we did to the truck is really that expensive. But it all came together really nice and I’m really happy with the function. Cheers!
